North Georgia College & State University and Gainesville State College have worked cooperatively since 1984 to provide part-time evening students an opportunity to take all of the required courses to complete North Georgia's Bachelor of Business Administration (B.B.A.) degree on the campus of Gainesville State College. Students who have completed their freshman and sophomore level requirements at Gainesville State College, or some other school that offers lower division coursework, may apply to North Georgia College & State University to begin taking North Georgia courses in facilities provided by Gainesville State College. The same faculty who teach on the main North Georgia campus in Dahlonega teach the courses offered on the Gainesville campus.

Administrative support for NGCSU's programs on the Gainesville State College campus is provided by the Gainesville State College University Center (UC). The University Center, located in Room 101 of the Dunlap/Mathis building on the Gainesville State College campus, is open until 8:00 p.m. (8:30 p.m. during Summer classes) Monday through Thursday and from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. (1:00 p.m. during the Summer) on Friday. To contact the University Center e-mail: uc@gsc.edu or phone 678-717-3875.


General Program Information

On a regular and continuing basis, junior and senior level courses required for the B.B.A. degree with majors in accounting, finance, management, and marketing are available on the Gainesville State College campus. This program is designed for part-time students who have completed an Associate of Arts degree in Business Administration, or the equivalent, and who desire to continue their education by attending evening classes. Students who have completed the equivalent of ACCT 2101, ACCT 2102, ECON 2105, and ECON 2106 and who are near the completion of an associate's degree may be simultaneously enrolled at a school offering freshman/sophomore level courses and at North Georgia College & State University.

Most students taking NGCSU courses on the Gainesville campus enroll in one to three courses per semester. Students who enter the program with an Associate of Arts in Business from a University System of Georgia school generally take approximately three to four years (including summers) to finish the remainder of their degree program.

In order to enroll in NGCSU courses on the Gainesville campus, students must be admitted to North Georgia. Applications for admission to North Georgia College & State University may be accessed online (through the Quick Links at the top of this page), are available from the Gainesville State College University Center, or may be requested from the North Georgia College & State University Admissions Office.



Course Offerings

The Mike Cottrell School of Business provides courses beyond the core curriculum required for all B.B.A. degree programs. Students who have not completed the core curriculum may take the required courses at the North Georgia campus in Dahlonega or may transfer credit for these courses from another college or university (within the guidelines specified by the university).

In general, Common Professional Component courses and 3000 level Accounting major courses are offered on the Gainesville campus once a year and courses specific to the Finance, Management, and Marketing majors and 4000 level Accounting courses are offered on an every other year basis. Since most courses are not offered every semester, students must plan ahead to ensure that prerequisites will be met and progress toward graduation will be smooth. An advisor is available to help with this planning, but each student should be familiar with the requirements that must be met for graduation and take responsibility for keeping track of progress.

The Mike Cottrell School of Business follows a general long-term plan for scheduling courses on the Gainesville campus (a revolving schedule), provides more specific anticipated schedules for courses on the Gainesville campus on the Gainesville Advising website (covering approximately two years), and posts scheduled courses in Banner (on an annual basis).

Advising and Registration for Classes

Students who need to see an advisor should do so prior to registration. NGCSU business students who take all of their classes at Gainesville can make an appointment for advising by calling the Gainesville State College University Center at 678-717-3875. Advising for Gainesville students is not limited to the one week period identified on the NGCSU Academic Calendar. Additional information related to advising for NGCSU business programs on the Gainesville State College campus is available on the Gainesville Advising webpage, the FAQ for prospective students webpage, and the FAQ for current students webpage.

Currently enrolled students have an opportunity to register for the following semester during pre-registration. Pre-registration opens around the middle of the term. The exact dates are posted in the Registration Guide posted on the Registrar website, accessible through Quick Links at the top of this page. In addition, reminders will be sent to each student's e-mail (both GC and NGCSU accounts). Courses scheduled are posted in Banner under "Search for Classes." For example: The following listing is for a course being taught Fall 2004. This listing is for the Gainesville section (GN stands for Gainesville) of ACCT 3380-Fraud Examination being taught on Thursday (R stands for Thursday) nights from 7:00 - 9:40 starting the week of August 16 and ending the week of December 11. Thomas W. Deberry is the instructor and 21 of the 30 seats are currently filled. The CRN (Course Reference Number) for this section of this course for this semester is 2740--this is the number that Banner wants you to enter in order to register for the the course. Also, clicking on the number provided as the CRN (when you are actually in Banner) will display the course description and prerequisites. Room assignments for sections taught on the Gainesville campus will not be posted in NGCSU's Banner system; these room assignments are posted on the Gainesville State College University Center website. Similar information is available for each course offered.





Access times, "time tickets," for registering for classes depend on the student's current academic classification. Seniors are allowed to register before Juniors; Juniors before Sophomores; and Sophomores before Freshmen. Student classification is based on the total number of earned hours: 0-29.99, Freshman; 30-59.99, Sophomore; 60-89.99, Junior; 90+, Senior. Students log-on to their Banner account and self-register for courses. Any request for academic exceptions (e.g., prerequisite issues, Plan of Study hold) required for enrolling in GN sections of business courses should be directed to Dr. Kim Melton, Gainesville Business Coordinator. If a student encounters non-academic problems during registration (e.g., holds for "owes money"), questions should be directed to the office that placed the hold.

Bills for tuition and fees are not mailed. Students should be sure to print their bills and pay them before the deadline; otherwise, the schedules are deleted! Payment can be made on-line, by telephone to the NGCSU Business Office using a credit card, or by mailing a check to the NGCSU Business Office.

Newly admitted students, readmitted students, and current students who did not pre-register for classes, register just before classes start--usually one day before classes start. The specific date for each semester is posted on the Academic Calendar and can be found in the Registration Guide posted on the Registrar website (both are accessible through Quick Links at the top of this page).


Course Requirements

All students pursuing a B.B.A. degree at North Georgia College & State University are expected to meet the same course requirements regardless of where NGCSU teaches the courses. Even so, there are some "special" issues that arise for students taking classes on the Gainesville campus. This is especially true for students who have not completed all freshman and sophomore level coursework. The following two sites provide information for students taking classes on the Gainesville campus.
