Learning Support
The Learning Support Program at West Georgia Technical College serves students who are in need of academic assistance. It includes learning support courses designed to improve students' basic abilities in the areas of English composition, mathematics, and reading skills. These courses, designated by course number 0090, 0091,0096, 0998 or 0999, carry institutional credit and may be taken prior to enrollment in credit courses or in combination with credit courses, depending on a student's admission status.
Students required to take learning support courses must take those classes each semester until they have fulfilled the requirements. Students taking MATH 0090 are required to take a diagnostic exam at the beginning of each semester enrolled in the course to determine the competencies and objectives requiring mastery for satisfactory completion of the course.
Learning support courses will be covered by Title IV assistance if the student is enrolled as a provisional admit student in an eligible program at West Georgia Technical College and the learning support course is required by the College.
Grades received for learning support courses are counted in the HOPE Scholarship GPA calculation. All learning support courses are included in the 66.6 percent hours attempted completion rate.
