COVID-19 Student Code of Conduct

INTERIM ADDENDUM TO STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT FOR COVID-19

COVID-19 and Public Health-Informed Campus Policies

Georgia Piedmont Technical College intends to perform its educational mission while protecting the health and safety of its students, faculty and staff, and minimizing the potential spread of the novel coronavirus, COVID-19, within the community.

Risks of COVID-19
In order to understand the risks that you face by returning to campus, you must understand that COVID-19 is a highly infectious, life-threatening disease declared by the World Health Organization to be a global pandemic. There is no vaccine for COVID-19 at this time.

COVID-19’s highly contagious nature means that contact with others or contact with surfaces that have been exposed to the virus, may lead to infection. Additionally, individuals who may have been infected with COVID-19 may be asymptomatic for a period of time or may never exhibit symptoms at all.

Because of its highly contagious and sometimes “hidden” nature, it is very difficult to control the spread of COVID-19 on campus or to determine whether, where, or how a specific individual may have been exposed to the disease. Georgia Piedmont Technical College is taking steps recommended by public health authorities to minimize the risk of spreading this disease on our campus.

Georgia Piedmont Technical College cannot and does not guarantee a COVID-19-free environment, and there remains a risk that you may contract COVID-19 if you come onto campus to live and/or attend classes.

We are providing you with the following notice as well regarding the risk of contracting COVID-19 when you enter upon our campus:

Warning
Under Georgia law, there is no liability for an injury or death of an individual entering these premises if such injury or death results from the inherent risks of contracting COVID-19. You are assuming this risk by entering these premises.

In order to minimize the risks associated with COVID-19, the policies and guidelines below are incorporated into the Georgia Piedmont Technical College Student Code of Conduct and are applicable to all students.

Your compliance with these requirements is essential to assisting the college in minimizing the risks to you and other members of the community.

General Principles:

You are subject to all guidelines for individuals related to the COVID-19 pandemic established by the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

In addition, the State of Georgia has issued guidelines for personal behavior during the COVID-19 pandemic and you must comply with such guidelines at all times. You understand that both sets of these guidelines may change, and it is your responsibility to ensure that you understand and comply with these guidelines at all times.

From time to time the College may implement additional requirements restricting your behavior and you agree to comply with such requirements. You understand that these conditions and limitations on your personal behavior are necessary in order to reduce the risk of transmitting and/or being infected by the COVID-19 virus and that your failure to comply with these responsibilities may jeopardize your health and safety, as well as the health and safety of others in the campus community, potentially causing severe illness and death.

Requirements:

Students will comply with governmental, state, and campus directives concerning maintaining required physical distancing (six feet) between themselves and other individuals on campus;

Students will use a face covering of their choosing that conforms to CDC guidelines anytime that they are in an indoor space where the College deems that social distancing is not practical, including but not limited to academic spaces and dining areas (except while eating) unless given different instructions by authorized college personnel;

Students will engage in frequent hand-washing and follow proper sneeze and cough etiquette, as recommended by the CDC;

Students understand and agree that they may be subject to regular testing for the COVID-19 virus and contact tracing, if testing and contact tracing is available, and they agree to submit to this testing and tracing, and the confidential reporting of the results to the College, without objection;

If students develop any symptom of COVID-19 as described by the CDC, they will immediately inform the College by notifying appropriate personnel.

The above conditions may change, and students agree to follow all college directives relating to COVID-19 and public health requirements.

Any failure to adhere to any of the above directives is a violation of the Code of Conduct that may result in sanctions, including but not limited to suspension or dismissal from the College.

View the GPTC Student Handbook including the full COVID-19 Student Code of Conduct Addendum on page 16-18.

The GPTC COVID-19 Task Force is charged with helping the College protect and support the health and safety of GPTC faculty, staff and students while maintaining the College’s strong commitment to providing instruction and service.  The cross-functional team has representation from staff members across multiple departments at GPTC.

The Task Force appreciates all questions, comments and other feedback. We meet regularly to assess the evolving situation, review recommendations, plan for possible impacts to the campus community and find “locally-driven solutions” guided by health officials, as we respond to the wide-ranging effects of this ongoing pandemic.

To ensure that we are addressing all questions and concerns, please email us at covid@gptc.edu.

Please follow these guidelines when and if you are required to quarantine due to COVID-19 exposure: Quarantine Guidance information

If you suspect that you or a family member may have been exposed to or are exhibiting symptoms of Coronavirus/COVID-19, please visit the Georgia Department of Public Health website to locate a COVID-19 testing site near you.

Credential Pick-up

Credentials will only be mailed to graduates that completed the mandatory graduation survey.  If you are a graduate and did not complete the survey, please email the Registrar’s Office at graduation@gptc.edu. so that you can receive the link and promptly complete.  To make an appointment to pick up your credential please visit https://bit.ly/3eF96OC.

CARES Act (Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act)

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to disrupt students and family members in several ways generating financial hardships related to employment, housing, childcare, food, utilities, and medical expenses. The Department of Education has allocated a new allotment of emergency financial assistance grants for eligible students and has directed institutions to prioritize students who demonstrate the greatest need.

GPTC has awarded and disbursed HEERF2 funds to eligible Spring 2021 students and will continue the awarding process until the funds are exhausted.

Test scores for SAT, ACT, COMPASS, ASSET and ACCUPLACER will be evaluated for placement if available.

In the absence of available placement test scores, high school GPA will be evaluated. The College will utilize high school GPA scores as follows:

Degree-seeking students:

  • If a student has a high school GPA of 2.5 or higher, Accuplacer is not needed.
  • If a student has a high school GPA of 2.0-2.49, Accuplacer is not needed, but a learning support class will be needed.

Diploma/Technical Certificate-seeking students:

  • If a student has a high school GPA of 2.3 or higher, Accuplacer is not needed.
  • If a student has a high school GPA of 2.0-2.29 Accuplacer is not needed, but a learning support class will be needed.

GED Graduates:

  • If you passed the GED Test in Georgia from 2014 to current, your GED test scores will be accepted as program-ready for any degree, diploma or certificate program.

No previous SAT, ACT, ASSET, COMPASS, ACCUPLACER, 2014 and beyond GA GED Scores or High School GPA 2.0 or above

Stress Management Tips:
The coronavirus pandemic has certainly caused several challenges for many of us and our families. Here is information from the Center for Disease Control about managing through stress and anxiety during the COVID-19 crisis.  COVID 19 Stress Management

Tips for students transitioning to online learning:
Not everyone is going to have the same access to the same technology. Be proactive in reaching out to your teachers to let them know what tools you can use. Think about everything in your toolkit: email, text messages, phone calls, video conferencing/calling tools, Facebook, Twitter, or other social media.

Internet access. Assess your internet access. If you have only a mobile phone, ask that any technology used during this pivot to online be mobile-friendly. If you only have access to a computer for a few hours a day, at work, don’t hesitate to make that known to your instructors.

Class hours. Keeping to a certain class schedule during the COVID-19 pandemic can be challenging. This may not be realistic for you. Write to your instructor and let them know when you can meet, and why you may have trouble meeting during regular class hours.

Ask that video lectures be captioned. Even if you don’t need this, someone in your class may need captioned videos for accessibility.

Help each other. If possible, reach out to other students in your classes and create a support network. Use whatever digital means necessary to stay in touch. There are free tools, like Slack, that are good places to “gather” online; you can also create a Facebook group, a hashtag on Twitter or Instagram. Email works. Group text messages work. Find a way to stay in touch so that no one of you feels stranded or alone.

If you need assistance with resources and support, please contact specialpop@gptc.edu or our Special Populations Analyst, Tyreece C. Echols at echolst@gptc.edu.


I’m concerned about Veterans benefits. Who can I get in touch with to assist me?

Student Veterans can contact the Veteran Affairs Coordinator/VA School Certifying Official, Nathan Gholston at veterans@gptc.edu or gholstonn@gptc.edu for specific questions about your Department Veterans Affairs Educational Benefits (GI Bill®).

  • Registration/Enrollment changes
  • Certification
  • Course changes
  • Payment of allowances

You may also contact the Veteran Education Hotline at 888-442-4551 for questions concerning your education benefits and pay.

  • VA Education Benefits: COVID-19 Information Affecting Veteran Education Benefits
  • Colleges and universities all over the country moved in-person courses to remote or online courses in the interest of public health. For students using VA education benefits, this change raises questions and concerns about the impact to GI Bill benefits and housing allowances (MHA) administered through the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). A legislative fix was signed into law on March 21st that allows the VA to continue paying MHA to students whose courses have moved online.
  • Special COVID rules extended to December 21, 2021. Post 9/11 GI Bill students who pursue resident courses converted to an online modality solely due to COVID 19 will continue to receive the MHA rate for resident training.
  • Students will only continue to receive the same, uninterrupted MHA if they are registered for in-resident (in-seat) classes. The new law does not cover regular online courses (courses offered online regardless of coronavirus).

How do I get support for my disability accommodations?

  • If you have a documented disability and need class or testing accommodations, please email Paula Greenwood at greenwop@gptc.edu or call 404/297-9522 ext. 1155.
  • For additional information, please visit: http://www.gptc.edu – click on Current Student Dashboard – click on Campus Services and Amenities – click on Disability Services and Special Population.

I need assistance with my WIOA benefits. How can I get in touch with someone to answer my questions?

For any assistance with Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) benefits, please contact Tyreece Echols, Special Populations Analyst, at echolst@gptc.edu. Ms. Echols is able to assist students that are pursuing a degree, diploma, or technical certificate of credit (TCC) at GPTC.

Please remember that you must be fully accepted into the college for the WIOA coordinator to issue an acceptance letter to your WIOA counselor. Additionally, you must have already completed the WIOA Orientation and be cleared to receive WIOA benefits through either the DeKalb, NE GA, Fulton, Cobb, or Gwinnett WorkSource.
