Application Deadlines and Admissions Decisions
Application deadlines are posted on the Admissions web page. Students are encouraged to apply early to ensure that their application file is complete by the deadline. Students can check the Admissions web page for any updated requirements that may supersede this academic catalog. Final admission decisions will not be issued until all required documentation has been submitted, reviewed and approved by the Admissions Office. Notification of admissions decisions will be made in writing and mailed to the student’s permanent address. A final admissions decision is required before students can enroll in classes.
ABAC refrains from providing commission, bonus, or other incentive payment based on securing enrollments or federal financial aid (including Tuition Assistance funds) to any persons or entities engaged in any student recruiting, admission activities, or making decisions regarding the award of student financial assistance [See USG BOR Policy 8.2.14 Policy on Salary Administration and Incentive Rewards Program].
ABAC refrains from high-pressure recruitment tactics such as making multiple unsolicited contacts (three or more), including contacts by phone, email, or in-person, or engage in same-day recruitment and registration for the purpose of securing Service member enrollments.
As part of the admissions process, the application requires applicants to acknowledge the following statement.
I understand that any material false statement made knowingly and willingly by me on this application, or any documents attached hereto may, in accordance with O.C.G.A. 16-10-71, which provides that upon conviction, a person who knowingly commits the offense of false swearing shall be punished by a fine of not more than $1,000 or by imprisonment for not less than one nor more than five years, or both, subject me to prosecution in a court of law. Additionally, I further understand that any such false statement may subject me to immediate dismissal from the institution.
