I. Purpose and Policy Statement

This policy provides guidance to GGC students and the campus community regarding courses offered at a location other than the GGC campus, known as an off-campus instructional site.

II. Scope

Students, as well as faculty and staff advisors, should access this policy to be familiar with Georgia Gwinnett College’s (“GGC”) off-campus instructional site course offerings.

III. Definitions

Off-Campus Instructional Site: A site located geographically apart from the main campus at which an institution provides instruction and where students go to access support services. An off-campus instructional site is not independent of the institution’s main campus.

IV. Compliance

1. The procedures for approving facilities for off-campus instruction are outlined in the Board of Regents’ Policy on Off-Campus Institutional Sites. Institutions shall not initiate requests for new off-campus instructional facilities prior to the approval of related academic proposals unless authorized by the Chief Academic Officer to proceed concurrently during the academic review process.
2. Currently, GGC only has one off-campus instructional site. This is the Georgia Film Consortium (“GFC”), a partnership agreement managed through the University System of Georgia (“USG”).
