College Policies
ALL TUITION AND FEES are due at time of registration. It is the responsibility of the student to assure that FULL PAYMENT is made by the designated deadline. Unfortunately, we cannot offer any payment plans or defer any tuition and fees. Our cashier’s office accepts cash, personal checks, money orders, and credit/debit cards with Master Card or Visa logos.
 
• Financial aid and/or third party payments must be approved in time to meet payment deadlines, and recipients must ensure that their aid is sufficient to cover all fees for the term. They also must have a current authorization on file, allowing their financial aid to be used for payment of fees at ATC.
 

• Mandatory fees include a $27 registration fee, $16 student activity fee, and a $4 insurance fee. Students are also required to pay a Technology Fee of $35 for each term of enrollment. Other fees include $11.00 or $43 malpractice fee, $30 late registration fee, $35 graduation fee, and $20 application fee. Students enrolled in the Commercial Truck Driving program will be assessed a fuel charge of $130.

• Tuition and fees do not include textbooks, supplies, or tools that may be needed for your program of study.

• Fees maximums are set by the Technical College Systems of Georgia, and are subject to change at the beginning of any term.

• Registration is on a first come, first serve basis at ATC. Schedules are not confirmed until all fees are paid for the term.

Refunds of Tuition and Fees
• Students withdrawing from a course by the end of the third (3rd) instructional day of the term and students whose attendance is recorded as “No Show” shall receive a 100% refund of applicable tuition (hours below the 15 hour tuition cap) and applicable refundable fees, excluding the application fee. Exceptions may be allowed for customized courses that do not follow the college’s standard academic calendar.

• Students who withdraw from a course after the third (3rd) instructional day of the quarter shall receive no refund.

• For those students receiving federal financial aid, the technical colleges shall make available Consumer Information that may be found at http://www.ifap.ed.gov under the appropriate aid year’s Handbook. Although there will be no refund of tuition and fees after the third (3rd) instructional day, withdrawing students receiving Federal Pell Grant will have awards adjusted in compliance with the Return to Title IV process (R2T4) outlined in the Federal Student Aid Handbook.

• Refunds are paid through Higher One Easy Refund cards. Upon payment of all tuition and fees, a card will be mailed to each student at their residence.
