Dress Code
The primary mission of Atlanta Technical College is to prepare you for the world of work. The environment of this college is one that involves interactions with the students, business and industry representatives, and the general public. Therefore, as a student, you are expected to dress appropriately according to the occupation you are studying. Your instructors will provide you with written information regarding the appropriate attire for your occupation and program of study. Please cooperate accordingly.
Health Services
In the event of a medical emergency, Atlanta Technical College will refer a student to the nearest medical facility. As a non-residential institution, students are expected to secure medical services through a private physician. In the event of a medical emergency, it is understood that the student or parent will assume full responsibility for the cost of emergency care at the hospital including ambulance charges if such service is necessary.
First aid kits are available in the security office, in the office of the Vice President of Student Affairs, and in many laboratories throughout the building. Staff is instructed to call 911 for a potentially life-threatening emergency and then to report the incident to Sandra Bryant, the Vice President of Student Affairs at (404) 225-4444.
