Campus Hours

The AUA Campus opens at 6am and closes at midnight (12am). Lakeside Commons security officers continue to be very gracious about warning students before midnight so you have time to close up, pack up, and leave before midnight. Most of you comply and exit on time. Thank you.

However, a few students are not complying with the policy. When this happens, Lakeside Commons security officers write what is called an incident report. The report is passed on to our campus. Students who are the subject of such incident reports more than once may be referred to the Student Conduct Committee.

GDOT Construction Alert

Dear Students:

Please be advised that starting tomorrow, Saturday, November 13th the Georgia DOT will need to close the Building Two access road and upper entrance/exit at Hammond Drive through the end of the day Thursday, November 18th. During this time, students will need to utilize the main entrance and exit to the property or the secondary entrance located between Wells Fargo and the Publix shopping center.

This closure is necessary at this time since the construction company is in the process of preparing to transfer traffic onto the new bridge in the upcoming weeks. Their goal is to get the roadway in front of our property completed ASAP providing the least amount of disruption to our access.

After Thursday, November 18th this entrance and exit will be opened again for use; however, the roadway application will be a gravel composite until December 8th. Therefore, we highly recommend continued use of the main entrance and exit to the property during this time.

Again, we cannot thank you enough for your patience and understanding through this project. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and as always ask you to please contact Student Services with any questions or concerns you may have.

Jim Kivikoski

Assitant Director of Student Services

Veterans Day

On this Veterans Day we would like to thank all of our servicemen and women for their service and sacrifice to our nation.

In Flanders Fields

In Flanders fields the poppies blow

Between the crosses, row on row,

That mark our place; and in the sky

The larks, still bravely singing, fly

Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the dead.

Short days ago

We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,

Loved, and were loved, and now we lie

In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:

To you from failing hands we throw

The torch; be yours to hold it high.

If ye break faith with us who die

We shall not sleep, though poppies grow

In Flanders fields.
— Lt.-Col. John McCrae, (1872 - 1918)

Important Information

Greetings AUA Students,

I hope you had a great Fall 1 experience! Please keep the following in mind as you proceed to Fall 2 and Spring Semester.

Spring Semester Registration is ongoing… Register Now!
If you have not registered for spring semester courses, do so immediately. Your schedule is available in the student portal. You will be charged a late registration fee of $50 dollars if you do not register by November 11th. Remember time out of school is reported to the National Clearinghouse. It may count against your grace period for student loan re-payment.

Seriously consider registering for more than one class. You will be surprised at how much less you will pay for your degree and how much less loan debt you will have upon graduation.

Real Scenario – Fictitious Student:
Jack is taking one class per semester in the Master of Arts in Forensics Psychology Program (MAFP). His course cost for the year is $4,167. He is approved for Subsidized and Unsubsidized Student Loan totaling $20,398. His total refund for the year is $16,388. The program requires 48 hours of study. Because he takes only nine (9) credit hours per year or one (1) course per semester, it will take him 5.3 years to complete the MAFP. At this rate, he will have student loan debt of over $100,000 when total tuition and fees is approximately $26,640. The lifetime loan limit for a graduate student (except for PSYD) is $138,500. At this rate, Jack will not be able to complete a doctorate using financial aid loan funds. Does this sound familiar? Avoid this scenario by adding another class to your Spring Semester course schedule or return a portion of your refund to save for later use. Contact Finanial Aid for more information. They are happy to help.

Attendance Requirements:
You are required to attend class. If you are enrolled in a blended course, your class officially begins October 28th. So, log in to the eCollege portal or respond to your professor between October 28th and November 5th. We will drop you from the course(s) on November 5th if you fail to physically attend (if scheduled); log in to eCollege; or respond to your professor. If your class meets on campus, you must attend during the scheduled class meetings. If you are enrolled in an online course, you must login and participate before November 5th.

Add/Drop Deadlines:
The add/drop deadline for Fall 2 is November 5th. You may withdraw with a “W” grade from November 6th to December 1st.

Late Registration for Fall 2:
You will not be able to register for any Fall 2 courses after November 5th. So don’t delay. Use the attached Add/Drop form to complete your registration now. If you are on a financial hold, you have until that time to clear it up. Contact FA immediately.

COMMENCEMENT:
December 3, 2010 – Georgia International Convention Center (GICC), College Park, Georgia. www.Gicc.com

!!!Graduates!!!

Ø If you have not ordered your cap and gown, you have until November 5th to do so. See the attached Graduation Packet, click on the Herff Jones link, and complete your order today.

Ø The LAST Graduate Salute Day will be held Saturday, November 13th from 11am until 2pm in the lobby of building 990, ground level. This is your opportunity to meet many representatives from our campus administrative offices such as financial aid, registrar, career services and admissions.

Parking lots are an easy target for thieves looking for a “quick score.” Vehicles parked in parking lots are targeted when valuables are left in plain sight, and in instances where thieves have had prior success with break-ins and vandalization. Alert motorists can make a proactive contribution to ensure a safe parking lot and reduce the likelihood of incident.

Before you park

• Find a parking space you feelomfortable parking in.

• Park in a well-lit area. Avoid parking in a secluded area.

• Remove all valuables from sight. “Out of sight out of mind, if they can’t see it, they can’t steal it”

When you park

• Always lock your car and roll up the windows.

• Never hide a spare key in or around your vehicle.

• Remember your specific parking location. Carefully note the aisle numbers and/or letters.

• Never leave your car engine running or with the keys in the ignition, even if you are only gone for a moment.

• Be aware of everything and everyone around you.

• If you notice a stranger or suspicious person loitering in or around the parking lot, immediately notify security or the police.

After you park

• Walk with purpose and confidence.

• Keep your keys in hand as you walk to your vehicle.

• Working late? Request for a security escort to your vehicle or walk with a group or coworkers.

• Upon return to your parking location, inspect the exterior and interior of the vehicle before getting inside.

• If you have a flat tire, immediately return to the building and ask for help.

• Never open your vehicle door or window to accept help from a stranger.

• When you get into your vehicle, immediately lock your doors (before buckling your seatbelt) and turn on your headlights.

• If a suspicious person approaches your car, honkyour car horn.

• If you sense someone may be following you, switch directions or cross the street. If this does not deter the stranger, immediately proceed to an open store, restaurant or lighted house.

• Never be afraid to call or shout for help.

Important Message from the President

Dear Students:

WE NEED YOUR HELP!

Earlier this year, Argosy University launched the AU Action Center, a resource that provides students, faculty, and staff an opportunity to communicate directly with government officials on issues vital to our institution, its employees, and its students.

The Action Center has proven particularly important during the time in which the U.S. Department of Education has been developing a new regulation known as the “Gainful Employment” rule. If adopted in its proposed form, this rule will limit educational and economic opportunities for millions of Americans attending and employed by privately-funded institutions of higher education like Argosy University. Thousands of letters have already been sent to Members of Congress through this website.

But there is still more work to do, and your help is needed.

The Department of Education has officially proposed its Gainful Employment rule, which can be found at the following link: (Proposed Rule). Through September 9, the public has been asked to provide their comments on the proposed regulation. Letters that you can customize and personalize are available at the AU Action Center. By taking just a few minutes of your time, you can help inform U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan and your legislators about the impact this rule could have on our students, our communities, and our University.

In short, the Department of Education’s proposed Gainful Employment rule will limit educational and economic opportunities for hundreds of thousands of Americans. Specifically, this rule will have a particularly adverse effect on degree programs offered to low-income, minority, women, working adult, and other at-risk populations. This will result in reduced access, less opportunity, and fewer choices for students.

To date, our voices have been making a difference in the halls of Congress. Now we need to be heard by the Department of Education as well. Even if you have already done so before, please take a few minutes to provide additional comments by visiting the AU Action Center or http://www.auactioncenter.com/ today.

Sincerely,

Ronald A. Swanson, D.Ed.
President
Argosy University, Atlanta

P.S. – a quick call to the office of your U.S. representative or senator could also make a big difference. Tell them you don’t support the Gainful Employment regulation without changes that will protect thousands of students whose access to higher education will otherwise be restricted.

New Computer Lab Paper Supply Policy

Dear Students:

On September 1st, Argosy University, Atlanta is instituting a change in the way paper is distributed in the Computer Labs. Staff members will supply the labs with paper only once a day for student use. When this supply runs out, additional reams of paper may be obtained from the library. Students will be asked to sign for the paper upon receipt, however they will not be charged for it.

We appreciate your cooperation with this new policy and hope you have an enjoyable Fall Semester. Please let us know if you have any questions!

Scholarship Deadline Extension

AUA Students,

Great news! The scholarship deadline has been extended for 1 week. You have until 6:30pm on July 7, 2010 to submit your scholarship application. Print and complete the attached. Add the appropriate information for the scholarship you chose (if needed) then fax it to 770-407-1110 or pdf and email to me. Keep your confirmation.

While we are discussing scholarships, I see that some of you have already submitted an application BUT it is either an incomplete application or you checked too many boxes so we are unable to determine which one you are applying for. We won’t be able to process these applications, so if you did either of the above, you will need to resubmit your application by the deadline with only one scholarship checked and/or make sure your application is complete.

Scholarship application review should be complete the end of July and hopefully awards posted by the middle of August. Good Luck!

Kim P. Ousley, Ed.S.

• If your course has an eCollege component, you must login at least once per week beginning the first day of the term. After logging in, you should complete the weekly assignment, respond to one of your fellow student’s comments or assignment, or at least communicate with your professor by way of the email feature.


• If you are dropped due to non-attendance, your financial aid and student account may be negatively affected

If you have any questions about this policy, please let me know. Have a great class!

Memorial Day

Argosy University, Atlanta will be closed on Monday, May 31st in observance of Memorial Day.

A handful of old men walking down the village street
In worn, brushed uniforms, their gray heads high;
A faded flag above them, one drum to lift their feet-
Look again, O heart of mine, and see what passes by!

There's a vast crowd swaying, there's a wild band playing,
The streets are full of marching men, or tramping cavalry.
Alive and young and straight again, they ride to greet a mate again-
The gallant souls, the great souls that live eternally!

A handful of old men walking down the highways?
Nay, we look on heroes that march among their peers,
The great, glad Companions have swung from heaven's byways
And come to join their own again across the dusty years.

There are strong hands meeting, there are staunch hearts greeting-
A crying of remembered names, of deeds that shall not die.
A handful of old men?-Nay, my heart, look well again;
The spirit of America today is marching by!
- Theodosia Pickering Garrison

A Letter from Craig D. Swenson, Ph.D., Chancellor, Argosy University System

Dear Argosy University Students:

I am writing to share some exciting news and to reaffirm our commitment the University’s mission of providing exceptional professional higher education. To that end, I am pleased to announce that Argosy University is involved in a process of strategic expansion that will provide new opportunities for many of our existing and prospective students.

First, our plan is that the Western State University College of Law, the oldest law school in Orange County, California, will become part of our University and will become known as the Western State College of Law of Argosy University. Western State is fully accredited by the American Bar Association and the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC).

Our plans also include the establishment of a college of art and design. This new college will be created by merging the eight Art Institute campuses in California into a single entity and making it a part of the University. It will be known as the Art Institute of California, a College of Argosy University, with campuses in Hollywood, Inland Empire, Los Angeles, Orange County, Sacramento, San Diego, San Francisco, and Sunnyvale.

In light of the geographical location of these two new colleges and in order to ensure a successful transition, we have begun the process of seeking regional accreditation from the Commission on Senior Colleges and Universities of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC, see at http://www.wascsenior.org/ ). Until this process is complete, we will continue to be accredited by our current regional accrediting association, the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association (HLC), after which time we will transition to WASC.

Throughout this process our institution’s distinctive identity, history, and reputation will remain strong and, we believe, become even stronger. These actions will advance Argosy’s stature as a national, comprehensive University. The addition of the disciplines represented by these two new colleges will enhance the intellectual life of our University community. The potential for interaction among the students and faculties of this diverse set of disciplines will create synergies that will support the mission of our University.

While new opportunities may open for you as a student of Argosy, Art Institute or Western State as a result of these actions, you will experience little to no change on a day to day basis in your program, your faculty, and the operations of your institution. If you have any questions, I encourage you contact your local campus.

Sincerely,

Craig D. Swenson, Ph.D., Chancellor
Argosy University System
