IMPORTANT! Please Read!

Dear Students:

I am sure you have noticed the flurry of activity on Hammond Drive as the Department of Transportation (DOT) completes additional ramps to Interstate 400.

DOT will shut the water off to work on moving the water main for our building, so we will close campus on Saturday, March 27 and Sunday, March 28.

Therefore, classes scheduled for those days will move to the Art Institute of Atlanta.

Services will not be available and you will not have access to our campus. Please plan accordingly.

We will post directions, classroom schedule, and a reminder on the Blog.

Also, make sure you check your Argosy email for further updates and information.

Kim P. Ousley, Ed.S.

Director of Student Services
