Segars Continued from A4 And, as part of the colle giate experience, the student body participates in food and blood drives and contributes to the Red Cross, the Caring Place, Camp Twin Lakes, Morgan County Humane Society and other community projects. “ThestudentbodyatGMC- Madison is diverse,” says Aldhizer. “We provide quality edu cation to dual enrollment students, new high school graduates, to those who have been out of high school for a few years and to those we consider non-traditional students, many being well over 25 years of age. Thecurrentgroupof94dual enrollment students includes high school students from Morgan County High and Foothills, Social Circle High and some home-schooled. Commuter students come from counties in our area to include Morgan, Greene, Putnam, Jasper, Clarke, Newton and Walton.” “With a combination of in-seat and some online courses, students can earn associate degrees in 24 fields,” adds Aldhizer. “Some pro grams are available fully online.” The associate degrees include the core curriculum and several classes in a stu dent’s chosen major. Attending a local college is an economical waymanystu- dents choose to complete the TCH Mini Storage Buildings - New - I- Residential - r - Industrial - l Commercial - Gated & Secured core or the entire associate degree while living at home and working part-time. Attending GMC for the first two years also allows students to start college in a smaller environment where they can build the experi ence and confidence needed before moving on to larger institutions.” GMC has agreements with more than 40 four-year colleges. Most of these schools offer guaranteed admission to students who complete their degree work in Madison or from any GMC campus. Regular commuter stu dents typically complete their degrees and transfer to four-year schools such as UGA, GeorgiaState, Georgia College, KennesawState and Piedmont College.” The application process is easy and information is avail able online atwww.gmc.edu. Interested students can also call the Madison loca tion or drop in. Packets of information are provided and staff members can assist potential students with admission or financial aid. “GMC has an open enroll ment admissions policy,” concludes Aldhizer. ‘Students needonlyahigh school diploma or GED to qualify. A college prep diploma is not required. There are no minimum ACT or SAT scores required for admission. If a student does not have a qualifying standardized test score, we can adminis ter a placement test here on campus in Madison.” Sounds like an excellent opportunity to attend col lege right here.
