Three new policies have been posted to GHC’s policy website.  They can all be found under the Academic and Student Affairs drop-down, Registrar subheading, or through the search feature at the top of the policy website page.

1. Updated policy on Academic Progress (Warning, Probation, and Dismissal) – The policy was modified to reflect current practices.
2. New policy on the requirements for Concentrations within our degree pathways – This policy is effective Spring 2023 and reflects the USG guidelines for establishing a concentration within a program.  An example of this would be our Film Production pathway which has a concentration in either Georgia Film Academy (GFA) production or GFA post-production.
3. New policy on establishing minors within our bachelor’s degree programs – This policy will be effective Fall 2023, pending final approval of our minor proposals by the USG.

If you have any questions, or concerns, please email mlargin@highlands.edu.

Note, you can submit a request for a new policy or a policy revision through the Policy Proposal Form found on the policy website.
