Children and Visitors on Campus Policy

Argosy University Atlanta (AUA) takes great pride in the level of care, concern, and flexibility that we extend to our students. However, due to mounting concerns about the safety and health of your children and visitors; the following statement is official as of December 12, 2008 and supported by potential consequences set forth by Argosy University Code of Conduct, page 14 of the Argosy University Academic Catalog, 2008-2009.

I. POLICY STATEMENT

“Children are not allowed on campus unless they are accompanied by an adult student conducting administrative business in Admissions, Financial Aid, and/or Student Services. Non-student visitors must be accompanied by an AUA student at all times. Students are responsible for the actions of their non-student visitors.”

II. SCOPE

This policy applies to students and their visitors. For the purpose of this policy, the term "children" refers to persons under the age of 18 who are accompanied by an adult student and are not otherwise enrolled as students at AUA. The term "non-student visitors" refers to persons aged 18 years or older who are not otherwise enrolled as students at AUA visiting or accompanying active AUA students.

III. VIOLATIONS OF POLICY

1st violation - WARNING: Student will be warned, and documentation of the warning will be submitted to the Director of Student Services and kept on file.

What will the Writing Center do for me?
The Center is located next door to Admissions and will help you with:
· APA format and academic writing style, including reference list
· Organization, clarity, grammar, and punctuation

Will the Center proofread, edit, and fix all of my errors?
· No. The Center will teach you how to fix your own written assignment.
· Leave yourself enough time to apply what you have learned, and then come back for a second session.
· The Center will not give last-minute help. Make your first visit at least 5 days before due date.

Do I need to make an appointment?
No. There are usually two assistants in room 109, so you won’t have to wait long. Come in and fill out a contact sheet. You will be next!

I live very far away. Can I still get help?
Yes! E-mail your doc (not docx) to Donald Gregg: dgregg@argosy.edu

“Come to Learn—Plan to Return.”
