Message from the Chief Executive Officer
Where is your organization headed to? There is no gain saying that the future of your organization depends, to some degree, on the skills and abilities of the leadership and management teams in your organization. If the leadership and management teams perform well, then your future will be a progressive one. To the contrary, if they don’t perform well, then your organization’s future would be bleak. Why do we in AGS bother about your career and that of your establishment? The reason is not farfetched. Most people holding positions of leadership and management have never received any specialized training. They are, therefore, running on a mixture of natural talent, experience and common sense.
In some cases, the method of learning by field experience provides fair education to get things right, but most times it doesn’t. The bitter truth is that many fails in their career, and most leaders and managers are not getting it right in their establishments due to lack of regular training. Many top managers of most organizations, both in the private and public sectors, do make repeated mistakes that are costly to them and their organizations dearly. Of course, the mistakes they make and bad decisions they take are not born out of malice, but rather from simply not possessing a coherent mental model and requisite know-how that would elicit successful action, as a leader or administrator. To this end, it becomes apposite to emphasize that every entrepreneur, public servant, chief executive officer, head of institutions and establishments, government administrator and managers, need regular support by way of continued and specialized hands-on professional training to succeed. That is where we come in; we in AGS are committed to providing for you, your friends and your colleagues well industry-tailored education and professional training that will take your organization to the next level.

ABOUT ATLANTA GRADUATE SCHOOL
THE SCHOOL
Atlanta Graduate School (AGS) was established in the United States.

ABOUTAGS TRAINING COURSES
AGS training courses are excellent, very thorough and methodical in content, well-structured to promote individual and collective discussion and thought. Our trainers are professionals. We operate at good quick pace with room for discussion and debate. Great practical exercises and group participation. The contents of the courses are very useful and directly relevant to both your professional and personal life. Furthermore, the courses are always production and efficiency driven, tailored towards industry needs and global best practices. The courses are always interesting, broad and well thought out. It is usually delivered with examples, live illustrations and, where necessary, with humor for easy understanding. More so, the professional trainer's presentations are always excellent, engaging and dynamic, enthusiastic, concise and well explained.
OUR DELIVERY METHOD
In AGS we have made sure that our classes are highly interactive. We use interactive teaching methods in our classes, such as case studies, assignments, group discussions, site visits, video and audio clips, Q and A, and PowerPoint presentations. Again, our lectures are delivered in modules and resources made available to students before classes and when expedient during classes. We have sundry teaching aids such as flipchart boards, interactive boards, audiovisuals, desktop and laptop computers, projectors, etc. As a matter of policy, our delivery methods are subject to evaluation periodically and reviewed to meet the needs of students.
In our interactive classes, our methodologies are varied. At times we allow our students to work independently doing a self-analysis exercise to make your innovations and create new initiatives. Ultimately, you will work with another or other delegates (in pairs or in threes; and finally, you will work in bigger groups). In all these there is always lots of interaction, and boredom can never set in. Our content is well designed, simple to understand and use; and delivery so “homely” that our students and course attendees tell our lecturers and faculty how the time seemed to fly by. This is especially as AGS trainings are always applied to real-life situations, very beneficial and packed with useful functional knowledge assimilation. Our courses and delivery, aside being interactive, are always interesting, well structured, practical and relatable.

That will include requiring a copy of the student’s diploma or transcripts directly from the source. In addition, the Director also has the option of checking with the state where the document was issued to verify the source and or access the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) database. For comparable documents outside the United States services for companies that determine the validity of foreign secondary school credentials will be employed.
Credit Transfer-in Policy
Due to the nature of our programs, Atlanta Graduate Schoolmay not accept transfer-in courses from any source. However, in special circumstances, it may be possible, with the permission of the Director of Academics, to allow some of the credits the student has previously gained to be transferred. The receiving Program will make a decision as to whether the modules the student has already taken meet the learning outcomes of his/her new program.
Transferability of Atlanta Graduate School Courses
The decision to accept transfer courses rests entirely with the institution to which the student is applying for acceptance.
Books and Supplies Policy
At Atlanta Graduate School, students receive basic textbooks at no additional costs to the student. However, in some cases, students may be required to purchase optional supply items as they deem necessary.

FINANCING YOUR EDUCATION
Apart from corporate, personal or parental sponsorship, students interested in financing their education may apply to their employers or local lending institutions i.e. bank, credit union, etc. Atlanta Graduate School, on a case by case basis, will consider payment arrangements with individual students at the sole discretion of AGS and based on funding availability.
INSTITUTIONAL REFUND POLICY
Cancellation of Enrollment
It is the expectation of Atlanta Graduate School that all students who enroll will make every effort to complete their studies. However, in those situations where a student decides to withdraw, the following policy applies:
A student should notify the Institution in writing of his or her intent to withdraw and the effective date of that withdrawal. For those students whose tuition and fees were paid by a government agency or third party, any refund due will be paid to that agency or party as specified, on pro rata basis after deduction of administrative costs.
Refunds
The following refund policy applies:
An institutional refund will be calculated on the basis of the student start date, length of the program and the expected completion date for students withdrawing from Atlanta Graduate School as defined by the Institute’s start and expected completion dates. When a student has completed less than 60.0% of his/her program, a prorated calculation will occur using the number of days of student attendance divided by the number of days in the program to determine the percentage of tuition earned from that student. The percentage will be calculated to the nearest tenth of a percent.
Total tuition and fees charged will be reduced, if appropriate, based upon the attended days. If a student has attended up to 60% of the program, there will be no refund.
STUDENT CONDUCT AND DISCIPLINE POLICY
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY
True learning only can take place when students do their own work honestly, without copying from other students or other sources. The Institution enforces the highest standards of academic integrity, both to preserve the value of the education offered and to prepare students to become productive members of the workforce. It is considered a breach of the Academic Integrity policy for students to employ any form of deception in the completion of academic work, including but not limited to:
• Copying work, ideas, or projects from any other person or media
• Allowing another person to copy or borrow original work in any form
• Allowing another person to copy answers on a quiz or test or to communicate with another person during a quiz or a test
• Representing the work of another team member as one's own
• Committing plagiarism in any form, including failing to give credit to the source of thoughts, words, ideas, or work from any other person, printed material, or web site.
When a violation of the Academic Integrity Policy is found to have occurred, disciplinary action will be taken. Depending on the severity of the violation or repeated/multiple occurrences, violations may result in an "F" grade for an assignment, project, assessment, or the course itself, or may result in dismissal from the Institution. All violations of the Academic Integrity Policy are documented and made a permanent part of a student's record. Students should see their instructor, Program Director or Director of Studies for any questions about the Academic Integrity Policy.
CLASSROOM ETIQUETTE
Entering/Exiting Class:
1. Please arrive on time to class and stay for the entire class period.
2. Late arrivals and early departures are disruptive.
3. If despite your best effort you arrive late, please quietly take a seat at the back of the classroom.
4. In the rare event that you must leave class early (e.g. for a medical appointment), email your instructor in advance to let him/her know, then sit close to the rear door and leave as unobtrusively as possible. If you can’t be there on time or must always leave early because of a class or work conflict, either seek specific permission from your instructor or do not take the class.
5. Try to use the restroom before coming to class.
6. If you must use the restroom during exams, ask permission before leaving to use the restroom
Noise/distractions:
1. When class begins, please stop your conversations.
2. Wait until class is completely over before putting your materials away in your backpack, standing up, or talking to friends.
Electronic Devices:
1. No taping, filming, or photography in class without instructor’s prior permission (whether by camera, cell phone, or other means). These activities are distracting and inhibiting to faculty and other students, may infringe upon privacy or copyright, and have a chilling effect on classroom discussion.
2. Cell phones should be turned off. No talking on cell phones, text messaging, or emailing on laptops during class. Wait until after class to return any calls received.
3. No listening to iPods or other electronic recording devices during class.
4. No web browsing or chatting on the internet, except with official directive.
Participation (Applies only to classes where participation is counted as part of students’ grades):
1. Because participation is counted as part of your grade, missing class could negatively impact your grade. Disrupting class could also lower your participation grade.
2. Keep on the topic at hand. If you have questions off the current topic, address these outside of class; at office hours or by email with the instructor.
3. Do not talk out of turn. Wait to be recognized before speaking and do not try to dominate a discussion with your questions or comments – give others a fair opportunity to participate.
Common Courtesy:
1. Do not read the newspaper during class. The shuffling of pages can be very distracting.
2. Food and drink are discouraged in class. There may be times that you need a beverage or small snack during class. Avoid bringing in large meals or food that is noisy when unpackaged or chewed.
3. Show respect for your instructor and fellow classmates. Do not interrupt another who is speaking.
4. It is okay to disagree with an idea but not okay to ridicule or make fun of another person and his/her ideas. Raised voices, derogatory language, name-calling, and intimidating behavior will NOT be tolerated.
5. Do not disturb others by engaging in disruptive behavior. Disruption interferes with the learning environment and impairs the ability of others to focus, participate, and engage.
Email Etiquette:
Every student is provided with a atlantagraduateschool.edu email address. The following rules guide the usage of this email domain address:
1. You are expected to write as you would in any professional correspondence. Email communication should be courteous and respectful in manner and tone. Do not send emails that are curt or demanding.
2. Do not expect an immediate response via email (normally, a response will be sent within two business days).
3. If your email question is sent at the last minute, it may not be possible to send you a response before an assignment is due or a test is given.
4. Do not post personal information about yourself or others about third parties to the class list serve. For example, if you are having trouble with a lab partner you should see the instructor in person to discuss the specifics of the issue.
SAFE WORKPLACE AND CAMPUS CRIME POLICY
Atlanta Graduate School strives to provide a safe work and campus environment and encourages personal health and safety for all students and employees. If you are aware of or are the victim of a campus crime, please notify a campus administrator immediately or dial 911 for immediate response from local emergency services and or law enforcement officials.

The use of illicit drugs and abuse of alcohol are dangerous to students, employees, and the general welfare of the Institution. There are local, state, and federal sanctions for unlawful possession, use, or distribution of illicit drugs and abuse of alcohol. Such sanctions include fines and imprisonment. The Institution maintains a drug and alcohol-free environment and considers the dangers of drug and alcohol abuse a serious concern.

Sexual Harassment Policy
Sexual violence and harassment have become a regular phenomenon across the globe especially in schools and colleges.

ACADEMIC INFORMATION
ACADEMIC UNIT OF MEASUREMENT
Atlanta Graduate School measures its academic programs on a clock hour basis. An hour is defined by the Institution as 50 minutes of supervised instruction and/orpractical works.
COURSE CODE AND NUMBERING SYSTEM
Each course offered by Atlanta Graduate School is identified in an alphanumeric manner, with the letters identifying the program subject matter of the course. Lower-numbered courses in the subject matter are considered foundational in nature. Higher-numbered courses and those with identified prerequisites are considered more complex in nature, building upon knowledge and skills gained in the foundational courses.
DROP/ADD PERIOD
Due to the nature of the program, students may not drop or add classes after the first day of classes. However; a student may withdraw from the program during the first week of class with no penalty or tuition charge for the program. A student who drops or withdraws from a “Concentration Course” and wishes to return, may have to cycle to the next program start date which may change the completion date of his/her program.
SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS POLICY
All students are required to meet the standards of satisfactory academic progress (SAP) that are outlined in the sections below. Students are evaluated at the 25%, 50% and 75% of program completion to determine that the standards are being met. These standards have multiple components: a minimum cumulative grade point average requirement (CGPA); a minimum successful completion rate based on all clock hours attempted; and, a maximum time frame requirement to successfully complete all required clock hours for the program. SAP applies to both quantitative and qualitative measures in terms attendance and grades.
As described below, each student must achieve the minimum CGPA within the maximum time frame established. Failure to meet these standards may result in dismissal from the academic program and ineligibility to earn the diploma or any degree for the chosen academic program.
I. Program Composition
Most of the core courses in each program have a theoretical component as well as a practical component. For these courses, each component of the course must be passed with the minimum required grade or performance standard.
Failure of one component results in failure of the entire course; there are no exceptions to this policy.
A cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of 2.0 or higher is required to meet the SAP standard in each academic term.
II. Evaluation Points
Students are evaluated for academic progress at the 25%, 50% and 75% of program completion. Any student for whom it is not possible to achieve the required CGPA within the maximum time frame for completion of the program will be dismissed from the program.
Any other student whose CGPA is less than 2.0 for the first time will be notified in writing that he or she has failed the minimum academic progress standard and will receive a warning and will be placed on an Academic Improvement Plan. A student who fails to meet SAP in the subsequent quarter will be dismissed from the Institution.
III. Maximum Time Frame (MTF)
The maximum time frame (MTF) for the completion of any program offered by the Institution is 1.5 times the normal time frame. The maximum time frame is the total number of clock hours a student may attempt in order to successfully complete all the required hours for the program.
Any student who does not successfully complete their program within the maximum time frame cannot earn a certificate and will be permanently dismissed from the program.
IV. Grading System
1. The grading system for academic performance appears below. Unless otherwise indicated, each grade earned is calculated into the student’s cumulative grade point average (CGPA) and the hours assigned for the course are included in the total number of hours attempted.
Grade Description Percentage Point Value
A Excellent 90-100 4.0 B Above average 80-89 3.0
C. Average 70-79 2.0
D. Poor 60-69 1.0
| F |Failing |0-59 | | | |0.0 |
| I* |Incomplete | | | | |---- |
| S* |Satisfactory | | | | |---- |
| TR** |Transfer Credit | | | | |---- |
| W** |Withdrawal | | | | |---- |
| WF+ |Administrative Withdrawal | | | | |---- |
* Grade not calculated into cumulative grade point average (CGPA).
** Grade not calculated into cumulative grade point average (CGPA) and course hours are not included in total hours attempted.
+ Grade not calculated into cumulative grade point average (CGPA) but course hours are included in total hours attempted.
2. Without prejudice to the above grading system, other international grading system may also apply depending on collaborating institutions and systems unique to the country where the campus is located.
V. Academic Probation
The student will be allowed to repeat any failed courses but must pass each repeated course with a grade of "C" or higher and must achieve a minimum CGPA of 2.0 by the end of the term. Any student on academic probation may be required to follow an academic improvement plan that will be developed by the Academic Director.
VI. Academic Appeal Process
A student who has been placed on academic probation but who believes that his or her poor academic performance was caused by extenuating circumstances may appeal their probationary status by submitting a written letter to the Institution's appeals panel. The appeal panel is comprised of the Academic Director, Campus President and a faculty member that is not the instructor for the class. The letter must specify the claimed circumstances and must be accompanied by verifiable documentation of those circumstances.
If the appeal is granted, the student will be considered as making satisfactory academic progress but must achieve a 2.0 term grade point average for their next term of study. In the subsequent term, the student must achieve a CGPA of 2.0 or he or she will be placed on academic probation. The decision of the appeals panel is final and cannot be appealed.
VII. Academic Dismissal
Except for those students who have successfully appealed a probationary action, any student with a CGPA of less than 2.0 at the end of an academic term for the second time will be academically dismissed from the Institution.
VIII. Repeated Courses
Any student who must repeat a failed course must earn a grade of at least "C" in that course. Upon achieving this requirement, the new grade earned will replace the prior grade and the student’s CGPA will be recalculated. The student must take the failed course whenever it is next offered by the Institution. A course may only be repeated a maximum of two times to earn the minimum passing score. The course hours for each repeat attempt will be included in total hours attempted.
IX. Incompletes (Grades of I)
At the discretion of the instructor, a student may be assigned a temporary grade of "I" (Incomplete) to allow the student more time to complete missing coursework or to take a required exam. Upon completion of the work or exam, the earned grade replaces the grade of “I” and is calculated into the grade average for the term and for the CGPA. If the missing work or exam is not completed within 10 weekdays from the last day of the term, a grade of “F” will be assigned for the course and computed into the grade average for the term and the CGPA.
X. W Grades
Students who withdraw from the Institution before they complete a course will be assigned a grade of "W" for each course in that term. A student who withdraws from a course prior to its completion will also be assigned a grade of "W" for the course. "W" grades are not included in calculations of the CGPA or in the total number of hours attempted.
Students who are administratively withdrawn by the Institution will be assigned grades of "WF" for each course.
"WF" grades are not included in calculations of the CGPA but are included in the total number of hours attempted.
XI. Change of Programs; Seeking a Different Credential
When a student decides to change programs, the grades for any courses that he or she has taken that are required in the new program will be transferred into the new program. The grades and hours for those courses will be included in both the calculation of the cumulative grade point average (CGPA) and the calculation of the successful completion rate for the new program.
XII. Leaves of Absence
Due to the nature of the program and the courses, AGS does not grant leave of absences. However; AGS will accommodate any student, who would otherwise qualify for a leave of absence, to ensure a smooth re-enrollment process.
XIII. Grade Challenges
A student who believes that the final grade he or she has been assigned for a course is not accurate or does not correctly represent the totality of work and grades earned in the course may formally request a review of the grade within five (5) business days of the date final grades are published. The request must be made in writing, must detail the specific bases for the challenge, and must be submitted to the Education Director.
XIV. Attendance Policy
Attendance is required of each student and is necessary for the successful completion of each program of study. Students are expected to attend 100% of all classes. A student may be dismissed from the institution for failing to attend three (3) or more consecutive classes in a term. Individual programs may have specific, more stringent attendance requirements. Instructors may have specific guidelines regarding homework and tests taking.
