Athens Technical College Announces Summer Short Session for July
ATHENS, GA (6/9/2014) – Athens Technical College is adding a five-week summer short
session beginning Monday, July 7, 2014. Students completing a course during the summer
short session will receive full-semester credit hours.
“Adding a five-week summer session allows students to get a jumpstart for the fall semester,”
according to Dr. Leslie Crickenberger, Vice President for Student Affairs. “Having a later start
date than a traditional summer short session will also allow graduating high school seniors the
ability to take a college course in the summer.”
General education core courses will be offered, including: Art Appreciation (ARTS 1101),
Composition and Rhetoric (ENGL 1101), College Algebra (MATH 1111), Precalculus (MATH
1113), American Government (POLS 1101), and Introductory Psychology (PSYC 1101). Courses
are open to new and current Athens Technical College students as well as transient students.
Many course credits transfer; students should check with their home institution for transfer
confirmation. Through an articulation agreement between the Technical College System of
Georgia and the University System of Georgia, courses at the 1100 level and above transfer to
USG institutions.
Students attending the summer short session will also have the opportunity to sign up for fall
classes during early registration.
Students are encouraged to apply by June 17 to ensure acceptance prior to the summer short
session. Financial aid is available for qualified students. For application information, contact
Athens Technical College Admissions Office at (706) 355-5004 or visit
