Scheduling Classes

College can be exciting and overwhelming when it comes to scheduling classes. Your class schedule is critical to your success, and you will need the support and guidance from your academic advisor. Consider the following to help you map out a schedule that best serves your specific needs. 

Program Requirements
Because Savannah Technical College offers a wide variety of degree, diploma, and technical certificates, different students may be required to complete different courses for their program of study. You can find the program descriptions in our
College Catalog, as well as on the Academic Programs section of the Program Information Web page. If you have taken courses at other colleges or universities, you may be able to transfer some core requirements. Transfer credit information will be available through your BANNER student account after you have been accepted to the college, or you may contact the Assistant Registrar, Susan Aberson, at 912.443.5709.

Course Selection
College courses require good study habits, and you will need to learn to balance your school, home and work life when planning your first-term college schedule. it is a good idea to ensure the types of classes you are taking are going to fit your unique schedule so you can be successful. Don't only take classes that require a lot of reading and writing; try to balance those classes with courses in math or science. Likewise, think carefully before taking two lab science classes or two math classes the same term. Having a mixture of courses that include reading, writing, problem solving, critical thinking, and hands-on practice will keep you mentally stimulated and interested in learning.

Course Load
To be considered a full-time student, you must be enrolled in a minimum of 12 credit hours. Try to balance your schedule so you are not too overwhelmed. Think about your commitments outside of school. Do you have children? Work responsibilities? Other activities that take up your time? Do not take more classes than you can reasonably expect to be successful in or you will risk lowering your GPA or losing financial aid. Manage your time wisely!

Time of Day Savannah Technical College offers classes on many different days and at many different times, so you should be able to find a schedule that works for you. If you have a job where you need to work evenings, you can schedule your classes for the mornings and vice versa. If you are just not a morning person, then you can schedule your classes for the afternoons (just keep in mind that there may be more distractions for you to skip afternoon or evening classes). Furthermore, if you only want to go to classes a few days a week, you can plan your schedule so that you only have classes on Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursday.

Drop/Add

The Drop Period (the first three instructional days of the term) and the Add Period (the first seven calendar days of the term) are different. A student may drop or add a course(s) without academic penalty during the drop period designated in the official school calendar. However, progression rate and financial aid eligibility will be affected. A student may also add a course(s) during the add period designated in the official school calendar. Dropped courses after the end of the drop period will be assigned a grade of W, WF, or WPF based on the official date of withdrawal and performance of the student up to that time. Any student requesting to drop/add classes must see his/her instructor and program advisor.

STEPS TO DROP/ADD COURSES

The procedure for changes in schedules should be followed as outlined below.

1. The Drop/Add form must be obtained in the Student Affairs One Stop Center or online.

2. The student must take the completed drop/add form to the Student Affairs One Stop Center. Financial Aid personnel will determine how the drop/add will affect the student's financial aid award and whether the financial aid will cover all costs resulting from the change.

3. A new schedule will be printed and given to the student. The student is responsible for any additional costs.

4. A Drop/Add Form should be used for any student dropping a class during the drop/add period.

5. A Student Withdrawal Request Form will be used if a student withdraws from a class.

SAVANNAH TECHNICAL COLLEGE REFUND POLICY

During the first three instructional calendar days of each semester, 100% of tuition and fee charges will be refunded if the student withdraws. Any refunds will be returned to the appropriate financial aid program. No refund of tuition or fees will be made after three instructional calendar days. Examples of refund calculations are available in the Financial Aid Office.

No-Show Policy

A no-show is a student who does not attend class or make any attempt to contact his or her instructor during the first full week of the academic term. 

You are expected to attend class beginning the first day of the term. If you are absent from the first class meeting, it is your responsibility to contact your instructor and confirm that you intend to be a student in his or her class. If you do not communicate with your instructor during the first week of class, you will be removed from the class as a no-show. Students taking online courses must log onto ANGEL within the first five days of the start of the academic term and communicate with the course instructors. Otherwise, instructors of online courses will report these students as no-shows. Students who attend at least one class session, log onto ANGEL and communicate with their online instructors, or meet with instructors of self-directed/individualized instruction courses during the first five days of the academic term but later stop attending classes are not considered no-shows.

Withdrawing from Classes 

Withdrawing before Midterm
If you need to withdraw from classes or school, you will need to come to the Registrar's Office in the Student Affairs One Stop Center for assistance. There are no refunds for withdrawing from classes after the third day of the academic term. To determine how withdrawing from a class will affect your financial aid status, please contact the Financial Aid Office PRIOR TO dropping or withdrawing from the class.

Withdrawing after Midterm
If you need to withdraw from classes after the midpoint, students must come to the Registrar's Office in the Student Affairs One Stop Center and obtain a withdrawal form. Students must take the withdrawal form to their instructors to obtain their signatures and a grade of WP (withdrawal passing) or WF (withdrawal failing). The form must then be returned before the last day of class to the Registrar's Office.

If you are withdrawing from an online class either before or after midterm, you will need to e-mail your instructor and tell them they want to withdraw. You will still need to complete a withdrawal form and attach the email to the form in lieu of a signature.

 

 

logo pic 1.png

Payment Policy

dollar-sign.jpg

Registration Payment must be made in full prior to the first day of the semester to maintain your enrollment and keep your class schedule.

If you owe money to the college (any amount) for tuition, fees, parking tickets, or library fines, or other fees, and you fail to pay, you will be REMOVED from your classes.

 

Students are invoiced before the payment deadline if they owe money to the college. If you receive one of these notices, do not ignore it. Contact the cashier to find out what you owe.

Students who are administratively withdrawn from classes will have to pay a late fee to reregister for classes during the Drop/Add period.

FERPA: Your Legal Rights as a Student

Savannah Technical College will not release information about you, your whereabouts, your grades, or your progress in classes to anyone but you.  Please make sure your parents, family, and friends understand that if they have questions about your records, they must ask you, not the college.

We want to take this opportunity to give you a brief summary of your rights under The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), the federal law that governs release of and access to student education records. These rights include:

  1. The right to inspect and review your education record within a reasonable time after the college receives a request for access. If you want to review your record, contact the Office of Registration and Records to make appropriate arrangements.
  2. The right to request an amendment of your education record if you believe it is inaccurate or misleading. If you feel there is an error in your record, you should submit a statement to the director of registration and records, clearly identifying the part of the record you want changed and why you believe it is inaccurate or misleading. The director will notify you of his or her decision and advise you regarding appropriate steps if you do not agree with the decision.
  3. The right to consent to disclosure of personally identifiable information contained in your education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent. One exception that permits disclosure without consent is disclosure to school officials with "legitimate educational interests." A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official has "need to know" information from your education record in order to fulfill his or her official responsibilities. Examples of people who may have access, depending on their official duties, and only within the context of those duties, include college faculty and staff, agents of the institution, students employed by the institution or who serve on official institutional committees, and representatives of agencies under contract with the college.
  4. The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by the college to comply with the requirements of FERPA.

Release of student record information is generally not done at Savannah Technical College without the expressed, written consent of the student. There are, however, some exceptions. For example, the college may release information to third parties requesting information that the technical college designates as "directory information" unless students place holds on their educational records, thus preventing the release of this information. Directory information includes student names; addresses (local, permanent, and e-mail); telephone listings (local and permanent); dates of registered attendance; schools or divisions of enrollment; major programs of study; nature and dates of diplomas, degrees, and awards received; and participation in student organizations and activities. Please note that you have the right to withhold the release of directory information. Students may prohibit the release of directory information by submitting a written request to the vice president for student development services within ten days of registration. Please note two important details regarding placing a "No Release" on your record:

  1. Savannah Technical College receives many inquiries for directory information from a variety of sources outside the institution, including friends, parents, relatives, prospective employers, the news media, and honor societies. Having a "No Release" on your record will preclude release of such information, even to those people.
  2. A "No Release" applies to all elements of directory information on your record. The college does not apply a "No Release" differentially to the various directory information data elements.

Questions concerning FERPA should be referred to the Registrar's Office in the Student Affairs One Stop Center

Work Ethics Grades

2) Character--Students display honesty, dependability, initiative, self-discipline, and responsibility.

3) Teamwork--Students are supportive of classmates, respect the rights of others, and contribute to the team.

7) Organizational Skills--Students possess skills in prioritizing and accomplishing tasks, appropriately manage time and stress, and demonstrate flexibility in responding to change.

8) Communication--Students display appropriate verbal (speaking), nonverbal (eye contact and body language), and listening skills.

9) Cooperation--Students respond appropriately to constructive criticism, conflicts, and complaints and demonstrate the ability to solve problems.

10) Respect--Students react appropriately to cultural/racial diversity in the classroom, lab, or clinical/practicum/internship setting and maintain appropriate and respectful relationships with faculty members and peers.

Students will receive a grade indicating whether they exceed expectations, meet expectations, need improvement, or have performed unacceptably. Work ethics grades appear beside the course letter grades on transcripts. Work ethics grades are not calculated in your GPA.
