These are updates provided to us, by Aiken Technical College. ATC sends students information through their ATC email and posts information on their website. The information in those locations is the most up-to-date. However, understanding that your student is enrolled in an ACCTC program, we will post updates as sent to us here to assist in the dissemination of information.

3/14/22 Mask Policy Revision

Effective March 14, students, employees, and campus guests will be encouraged, but not required, to wear face masks while on the Aiken Technical College campus. 

Please continue health safety practices, including: 

• Frequently washing hands or using hand sanitizer when it is not possible to wash your hands; and 
• Notifying your supervisor (employees) or instructor (students) if you are experiencing symptoms consistent with COVID-19 or have been in close contact with someone who tests positive for COVID-19. 

The College will continue to monitor developments surrounding COVID-19.

10/10/21 Fall Break

ATC will be on Fall Break Monday, 10/11/21 and Tuesday, 10/12/21. All ACCTC/ATC students will remain at ACCTC on these days.

8/30/21 ATC portal

It has come to our attention that students are having issues accessing the ATC portal (support services and Blackboard) due to the multi-factor authentication process. As a security measure, ATC users are required to enter a code to access our web-based systems when off campus. When setting up their ATC accounts, users are asked to provide a cell phone number where our system can send these codes.

We have learned that this requirement can be problematic for dual enrollment students when they are at their high schools and may be prohibited from having their phones in class or certain areas. We have discussed the issue with our IT department, and they suggest that students download the authenticator app to their laptops allowing the system to send the codes to this device instead of their phones.

Details about changing the authentication option is available at this link , see How to Change Your Option.

Students may change their authentication preferences at this .

8/18/21 Masks Required at ATC

Effective today, August 18, Aiken Technical College students, faculty, staff, and campus guests are required to wear face masks or appropriate face coverings while in public spaces on campus.

This additional precaution is part of the College’s efforts to provide a safe campus environment and mitigate the spread of COVID-19 in the communities in which we live and serve.

If you need a mask, you may get one from any of the following areas on campus:

• 100/200 Building: Enrollment Services Center
• 700/800 Building: Student Success Center
• 900 Building: The Hub (ATC Bookstore)
• 1000/1100 Building: Library and Academic & Student Affairs Office
• 1200/1300/1400 Building: 1300 level lobby area
• 1700 Building: Office reception area
• 1800 Building: Lobby reception area

In addition to wearing face masks or appropriate face coverings, please continue to:

• Frequently wash your hands or use hand sanitizer when it is not possible to wash your hands;
• Notify your supervisor (employees) or instructor (students) if you are experiencing symptoms consistent with COVID-19 or have been in close contact with someone who tests positive for COVID-19; and
• Practice physical distancing when possible.

Those who are not vaccinated, but are eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, are encouraged to consider doing so as part of the community’s effort to slow the spread of COVID-19.

8/17/21 Adds/Drops

Welcome to the Fall Semester, 2021!

Please see the important information for Add/Drop and Refunds.

Add/Drop (term 1):

• Monday—Tuesday (08/16—08/17), students can add/drop classes through their ATC Portal.  Add/Drop/Withdrawal Forms are not needed.
• Beginning Wednesday—Friday, (08/18—08/20) students can drop classes through their ATC Portal, but Department Chairs or Deans must process the approved add in Self-Service.  Add/Drop/Withdrawal Forms are not needed.

Refunds (term 1):

• The add/drop (refund) period for Fall 2021 is August 16—August 20.

Add/Drop (term 2):

Monday—Tuesday (08/16—08/17), students can add/drop classes through their ATC Portal.  Add/Drop/Withdrawal Forms are not needed.

Refunds (term 2):

• The add/drop (refund) period for Fall 2021 is August 16—August 17.

Refund Notes (all terms):

• The College will provide a 100 percent tuition refund for students who drop classes during the add/drop period. For each class in the fall and spring semesters and summer term this period is essentially the first week of classes (five instructional days). Because the mini-terms provide accelerated class activity, the add/drop, and 100 percent tuition refund will be prorated accordingly (generally two instructional days during fall, spring and summer mini-terms).
• Students withdrawing after the official refund period will receive no refund.
• Tuition refunds issued during the add/drop (refund) period do not include non-refundable (administrative) fees {approximately $120.00}.

Transportation is provided

Bus transportation is provided from students' home high schools to ACCTC and on to ATC. Likewise, the bus picks up students from ATC and returns them to ACCTC to board buses back to home high schools.
