As part of the system wide review of USG policy related to transient students, Complete College Georgia hosted an informational webinar for members of RACAA, RACSA, RACRA, and RACAD on Thursday, April 21 to review proposed changes to procedures and policies.
Challenges facing USG students attempting to temporarily take courses away from their home institution were initially brought to the Complete College Georgia Policy Committee in July 2014 as the result of multiple conversations with campus administrators. The issue was discussed by the Regents Advisory Committee on Records and Admissions and proposed for review by the University System Leadership Council.
These discussions focused on the need for additional clarification of the responsibilities of institutions and students throughout the transient process, and increased consistency in information shared with institutions on course registration and equivalency. The goal of the policy and procedure review was to address these topics and provide general guidance for institutions to incorporate into their processes to strengthen communication between campuses and assist students by clearly outlining the steps and requirements to register for transient courses.
