South Georgia Technical College (SGTC) President Dr. John Watford announced that the college’s Spring semester registration and the start of Spring Semester has been delayed due to COVID-19 precautions. Registration is now planned for January 11th and classes start January 13th. There are no placement test requirements and SGTC provides the use of textbooks at no cost to students.
“This is an awesome opportunity for individuals to enroll in college classes,” said South Georgia Tech President John Watford. “Many of the classes will be held online so students can do their work from home and South Georgia Technical College provides students the use of text books at no cost. There has never been a better time to enroll. Many students will be eligible for the HOPE Grant, HOPE Career Grant, HOPE Scholarship, or Federal financial aid and will be able to attend at no personal cost. What are you waiting for? Jump start your future today!”
Nearly 450 courses will be offered online or in a distance learning option for Spring semester. South Georgia Technical College is also offering 18 general core courses including English, Literature, College Algebra, Economics, Art and Music Appreciation, Political Science, and History classes.
The college offers a number of online services including academic counseling and tutoring that will help students navigate on-line learning. The financial aid application can be completed online, but assistance is only an email or phone call away for students with questions. Online video presentations are available for students who need assistance transitioning to online learning.
“As we navigate these uncertain and unprecedented times, we want to do everything we can to help individuals pursue higher education without barriers,” explained Dr. Watford. “A lot of things may be uncertain right now, but one thing is certain. Once this coronavirus outbreak is over or under control, our area is going to need a qualified, trained workforce more than ever. That makes this semester the perfect opportunity to look at a career option that is going to be in high demand. Many of our graduates have worked and are continuing to work during this pandemic because their skills are essential to keep our community and country running smoothly.”
