Dr. Dorothy L. Lord, President
of Coastal Georgia Community College
Dear Students,
It is a pleasure to welcome you to Coastal Georgia Community College. Our comprehensive mission includes providing prebaccalaureate degree programs for transfer; technical programs leading to immediate employment; lifelong learning; participation in economic development within the College service area; and partnerships with K-12 schools.
Coastal Georgia Community College is very interested in student success. A student Welcome Center located within the Student Center provides a cordial atmosphere where all questions are positively received and answered with accurate information. The College's online student registration system, called COAST, provides the ease of electronic information access from any location, as well as the opportunity for class registration, eliminating problems with "last minute" registration.
Faculty and staff at CGCC provide extensive student support with the opportunity for questions in class, availability during posted office hours, and especially connecting students with learning communities. Teaching faculty and student development professional staff assist with academic and personal growth and development issues.
The library at both the Brunswick campus and the Camden Center is a learning resources center which is far more than a place where books are kept! Educational materials in both print and non-print formats, a computer laboratory for enrolled students, a Learning Center with tutorial services, and the federally supported TRIO Student Support Services Program are all available for student use. In addition a limited number of public access computer terminals are available as part of the GALILEO Interconnected Library System and provide access to the catalog of library holdings for all units of the University System of Georgia (www.GIL.cgcc.edu).
The Camden Center of Coastal Georgia Community College offers the associate of arts and associate of science degree as well as the associate of applied science degree in selected technical fields in its permanent location, which opened in 2004, south of the Camden County High School in Kingsland, Georgia. More information regarding the Camden Center course schedule is available from the Camden Center Director's Office or the Brunswick campus Admissions Office. The Camden Center is a fully recognized Residence Center of CGCC.
Transfer of credit is easily accomplished among the University System of Georgia's 34 institutions as well as with colleges and universities in other states. Technical programs at the associate degree and the certificate levels are available to prepare for immediate employment. CGCC is also a University Center, providing several bachelor, master, and education specialist degrees through partnership with Armstrong Atlantic State University and Georgia Southern University. This collaborative effort is known as the Brunswick Center.
We cordially welcome you as a Coastal Georgia Community College student!!!
