Statement of Equal Opportunity

The Technical College System of Georgia and its constituent technical colleges do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, creed, national or ethnic origin, sex, religion, disability, age, political affiliation or belief, genetic information, disabled veteran, veteran of the Vietnam era, spouse of military member, or citizenship status (except in those special circumstances mandated by law). This nondiscrimination policy encompasses the operation of all technical college- administered programs, programs financed by the federal government (including any Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act/WIOA), Title I financed programs, educational programs and activities (including admissions, scholarships and loans), student life, and athletics. It also encompasses the recruitment and employment of personnel and contracting for goods and services.

The Technical College System and technical colleges shall promote the realization of equal opportunity through a positive continuing program of specific practices designed to ensure the full realization of equal opportunity.

The following persons have been designated to handle inquiries regarding non-discrimination policies:

Candice Buckley, the ADA Coordinator, at 404/297-9522, ext. 1111, ADA504Coordinator@gptc.edu or at the main DeKalb campus, 495 N. Indian Creek Drive, Clarkston, GA 30021, Room A-103B.

The content of this general catalog does not constitute a contract between Georgia Piedmont Technical College and its students on either a collective or individual basis. It represents Georgia Piedmont Tech’s best academic, technical, social, and financial planning at the time the catalog was published. Course and curriculum changes, modifications of fees and other charges, plus unforeseen changes in other aspects of Georgia Piedmont Tech’s life sometimes occur after the catalog has been published but before the changes can be incorporated in a later edition of the same publication. Because of this, Georgia Piedmont Technical College does not assume contractual obligation with students for the contents of this catalog.
