Editor’s Note: As Albany State University prepares for Founder’s Day on April 2, below is the first of two articles written by historian Hellen Allen, who has a particular interest in ASU’s founder, Dr. Joseph Winthrop Holley, and the Hazard family, early benefactors who supported Holley’s educational efforts in Albany, Ga.

Students also enjoyed a hot dog and pie eating contest and performances by the ASU band and the Passionettes. The Wokery was just part of the student center makeover. In addition to the restaurant, new furniture was added, the area received new paint and two flat screen TVs. “It seems as though I am at a local restaurant,” said Alexander Hawkins, research assistant with CETLA. “It’s great that we now have Asian cuisine at ASU.” Lanee Waldrip, a junior pyschology major, said, “I have eaten here before, and I have enjoyed the food.” The new additions were funded by ARAMARK in association with ASU’s business services. “Students need to understand that these additions were not paid for with state dollars, so these advancements will not take funds away from the University’s budget or have any impact on the budget crisis affecting the University System of Georgia,” Patani said. The inclement weather forced all of the activities inside and caused a tight squeeze in the breezeways of the student center mak- ing another strong statement in support of the need for a new, larger student center. “Look at this crowd,” Patani said. “This is why we need that new student center in a hurry.”

MEMORANDUM
Date: March 18, 2010
To: Albany State University Employees
From: Financial Operations Department
RE: Tuition Remission for Summer Semester 2010
All Albany State University employees who wish to participate in the Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) for Summer Semester 2010 should obtain a University System of Georgia Employee Application for Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) from the following website: http://www.usg.edu/employment/benefits/tuition/tap_app.pdf or http://asuweb.asurams.edu/asu/administration/departments/fiscal_affairs/forms/tap_app.pdf Alternatively, the employee can secure a hard copy of the form from Human Resources. The employee should:
Complete the required sections of the form in its entirety and forward the form to his immediate supervisor for review and approval. (Please note that first-time applicants must have gone through the regular student admissions process.) The employee’s immediate supervisor will advise the employee if his work hours must be rescheduled or if the class hours must be reported as annual leave (if available). Supervisor should retain a copy of the form prior to forwarding the approved form. Submit completed and approved form to Katherine Laster in Fiscal Affairs, ACAD Room 282 by close of business on April 15, 2010. (TAP forms submitted after this date will not be accepted.) Please note that Registration will begin May 17 – 19, 2010. Human Resources Department will verify eligibility (based upon six months of employment at ASU without a break in service as of the application deadline). Submit an initial or revised letter from the Financial Aid Office which indicates the federal aid (Pell, SEOG, and/or LEAP) or Hope Grant funds to be received for the academic year if you are attending an institution of higher learning other than Albany State University.
All courses taken under the TAP program are for academic credit only. An employee can register for maximum of eight credit hours for each of the three designated semester periods (fall, spring, and summer semesters). An employee must earn a grade of "C" or better in each approved TAP course to be eligible to continue in the program.
Employees should not pre-register during academic advisement and registration for Summer Semester, nor enroll in classes during the regular registration period. Enrollment in classes is based upon space availability as stated in the Board of Regents Policy. If the desired course(s) is filled before the employee registration period, the employee must receive approval from his immediate supervisor to enroll in alternate courses. Information in relation to the Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) can be reviewed on the following website: http://www.usg.edu/employment/benefits/tuition/ .
Once an employee who is attending an institution of higher learning other than Albany State has completed the course(s) indicated on the Tuition Remission form, he must forward a copy of his transcript or grades for the term to the Financial Operations department. The grades will assist with determining eligibility for the following semester which is tuition remission assistance applied for.
If you have any questions or concerns, please call the Financial Operations department on (229)430-4610.
