Spring registration for new classes began Nov. 13 and will effectively end with drop/add at the beginning of next semester. �
Registration can be completed on-line at the SCORE portion of the GHC website, according to Carolyn Hamrick, director of the Cartersville campus.
Hamrick stated that on-line registration cannot be completed, however, if a "hold" is present on school account records-a student owes money or has academic deficiencies. After holds are cleared, on-line registration can continue.
Hamrick also stated that outstanding debts with the school are more common this semester, due to a problem with calculations from the last semester's tuition that left many students owing six to eight dollars on their account. Students may visit the accounting offices at the Floyd and Cartersville campuses or the GHC offices at Acworth and Marietta to clear up the debts.
According to Hamrick, a deficiency hold is more troublesome because it means that academic requirements must be met before proceeding with other courses. These deficiencies can occur in any of the required core areas if a student has failed or not taken a particular class. GHC provides ample opportunity to make up these deficiencies.
Georgia Highlands' academic advising counselors can be found on all campuses. Advising specialists are Catherine King at Marietta, Laura Ralston at Acworth, Carolyn Hamrick at Cartersville and Eileen Walker at Floyd. It is highly recommended that students schedule a meeting with any one of these counselors before making registration decisions.
