HLC Accreditation Report
From Dr. Murray Bradfield, Vice President for Academic Affairs:
Dear Students:
I am very pleased to announce that we have received formal notification from the President of the Higher Learning Commission that the Commission Board of Trustees validated the actions of its Institutional Action Committee, Readers Panel and Visiting Team on July 3, 2008. Those actions concluded that Argosy University continues its regional accreditation for seven (7) years until 2014-2015. This is a remarkable achievement by the campuses, all members of the university community, and most especially by the Comprehensive Visit Steering Committee.
On behalf of the Executive Committee, faculty, and staff from the Argosy Atlanta campus, I want to thank you, the students, for your cooperation and assistance with the preparations on our campus. It was a complex and demanding process that was ably led and demonstrated our expertise in programmatic disciplines and deep commitment to students.

Argosy Student ID Card
A student left this question in the comments section of a previous post:
"Please give us information about the new policies for using our student ID to get into the building and also maybe to access the elevators. As a weekend student, I may not get to campus very often so I would like to know about the current status of our ID badges."
Here is the answer...
For your personal safety, students are required to carry their Argosy University Student ID Cards with them at all times while on campus. Your ID Card allows you 24 hour access to the building, grants you access to the computer labs, and allows you to check out books from the library. It is also a way for us to easily identify the individuals who belong on campus and those who do not.
If you arrive on campus after 6:30 PM on weekdays or at any time over the weekend, you will need to use your Student ID to enter the building. You will also be asked to show your ID to the building security officers stationed in the front lobby. Please have your ID Card ready and available for them. If you do not have your ID, you will be asked to sign in. When you leave the building, you will again be asked to show your ID or sign out.
If you have not yet received your ID Card, please complete the ID Card Request Form located on the right hand side of this page and bring it to the Student Services window on the first floor. If you have lost your ID card, you must have a replacement made. The replacement fee is $10.
If you have any questions on this, or any other Argosy University policy or procedure, please post your question to the comments section. We will try to address as many as we can in future posts.

Fall Registration Reminder
If you have not yet registered for your Fall I and Fall II courses it is important that you do so right away. Many classes are already full and others have only a few seats remaining. If you wait too much longer, you won't be able to take all the classes you need!
Online registration is available through the Student Link. If you have any questions regarding what classes you should take, you may contact your Academic Advisor.
Can't access the Student Link? Contact Student Services for assistance.

New Writing Lab Open for Business!
The Writing Lab has moved from the 4th Floor to Room 109! The new lab offers a larger space and additional resources to better support our students. See below for more information!
Summary of Academic Writing Lab Resources
The writing lab offers 30 three-hour labs each seven-and-a half-week term on weekends and on some weeknights. These are non-appointment, one-on-one sessions. Individual sessions last about 45 minutes. The lab schedule is posted in the library, on bulletin boards, and in room 109.
The writing lab encourages students to attend scheduled lab sessions in room 109. Alternatively, students may submit MS Word documents as attachments and receive a critique by e-mail, usually within 48 hours.
The writing lab will not accept new papers within 5 days of the due date. Our motto: “Come to learn—Plan to return.”
Writing lab assistants help students with:
· APA format, citations, and reference-list entries
· Grammar, punctuation, and academic style
· Organization, length of sentences, paragraph formation, sense, clarity, and flow
· Plagiarism
Lab assistants are not permitted to edit, proofread, or rewrite any parts of a student paper. The work students turn in must be their own. By pointing out examples of errors and providing appropriate models, the lab teaches students how to find and correct similar errors.
For more information contact:
Research support: Clara Williams, M.L.S.: crwilliams@argosy.edu
Dissertation editor: Brenda Young, Ph.D.: bjyoung@argosy.edu
Lab Coordinator: Donald Gregg, M.A., LAPC: dgregg@argosy.edu
