NGCSU title
          Technical College Course Credit Acceptence Policy

This memo is to advise all students of the following:

The Georgia Board of Regents allows any University or College to accept courses at level 190 or higher from a Technical College, even if the Technical College is not accredited by SACS. Each course is evaluated on an individual basis to determine if it meets the standard for NGCSU. Even though NGCSU may accept a course from a Technical College, there may be a problem for you as a student if you go to another university to pursue a BSN. For example if we approved a Math course from a Technical College for the ASN, another university may not accept it and you would have to retake the course when pursing your BSN at that University or College. Also you need to be aware that not all courses at the Technical Colleges are approved by NGCSU if the school is not accredited. For example at North Metro Technical College, only the following courses are approved:

North Metro equivalent to NGCSU:

SPC 191 COMM 2110
BIO 193 BIOL 2250 & 2251
MATH 190 MATH 1101
PSY 191 PSYC 1101

Therefore, you may want to think about taking your core courses at other accredited schools if you plan to pursue a BSN at any school other than NGCSU. The following Technical Colleges are accredited:

Albany Technical College Griffin Technical College
Athens Technical College Gwinnett Technical College
Augusta Technical College Middle Georgia Technical College
Central Georgia Technical College Northwestern Technical College
Chattahoochee Technical College Savannah Technical College
Columbus Technical College Southwest Georgia Technical College
DeKalb Technical College West Central Technical College

If you have any questions, please Dr. Toni Barnett at tbarnett@ngcsu.edu or call 706 864-1934.
