  • Official District Transcripts
    Official District Transcripts Important Transcript Request Information via www.GAfutures.org District students request transcripts for Board of Regents (in-state) universities and colleges and Technical College System of Georgia technical colleges through their My GAfutures account on GAfutures. Once a student makes this request, the counselor reviews and fulfills this request electronically. After the counselor fulfills the request, the transcript(s) is delivered to the postsecondary school(s) that the student has authorized/requested. The MyGAfutures account should not be used by students who need transcripts sent to NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association). This feature is currently unavailable in GAfutures. Seniors use this process. In addition, district students interested in a Dual Enrollment/Move On When Ready opportunity also use this process. Very Important: Final transcripts for Seniors (early to mid-June) will be sent to in-state schools through the MyGAfutures transcript(s) request process. Therefore, a Senior must request the final transcript for in-state schools using his/her MyGAfutures account to request that the final transcript is “fulfilled” by his/her school counselor. Seniors are to only request that a paper copy of the official transcript be processed when the purpose of the transcript is to meet admissions requirements for out-of-state college or university, to complete documentation for a scholarship(s), and/or to provide to a potential employer or the military. Any transcript questions/issues should be addressed by the student with the school counselor. HOPE Transcripts HOPE transcripts are available for all district students within 30 days of the close of each semester after transcript history is posted to district transcripts.

  • The Inclusive Academic: Strategies for Maintaining Balance in a Changing Academic World
    The Inclusive Academic: Strategies for Maintaining Balance in a Changing Academic World 18th Annual Teaching Matters Conference – Abstracts by Session Thursday March 12, 2020 Session 1 – 8:30 – 9:30am A - Instructional Complex (IC) 111 How I Changed my Syllabus: A Discussion with a Grade Appeals Committee Prof. Jean Cook, Dr. Kathie Barrett, and Dr. Jill Drake, University of West Georgia As student populations get more diverse and faculty evolve and innovate their classes to be more inclusive, the opportunities for untended miscommunication and lack of clarity in expectations between students and faculty grow. These unintentional consequences can be reflected in increased disputes over grades. Students may feel aggrieved by the institution as a whole, and faculty can feel judged or at risk in their positions. Grade appeal or grade grievance procedures can be intimidating, yet the grade appeal committee is mainly focused on finding a fair resolution for BOTH the faculty and the student. Based on the presenters' combined twenty years of experience on a university Grade Appeals Committee, this panel discussion with cover common policy and communication missteps by students and faculty as well as share best practices for effective policy, rubric, and syllabi drafting. Attendees will leave prepared to effectively approach or even avoid a grade appeal hearing. B - Instructional Complex (IC) 207 Research Workshop: Developing a Supportive Network Dr. Katie Wester-Neal, Dr. Brent Johnson, Dr. Julie Little, and Dr. Beth Pollock, Gordon State College One strategy that academics can use to maintain balance in changing times is to develop a network of supportive colleagues. In this workshop, we plan to start a research network through which participants can encourage and assist each other in reaching professional writing and research-related goals.
