Orientation and Wellness Courses

According to Board of Regents policy, wellness courses, first year seminar courses, and orientation courses cannot be used towards the total hours required for graduation. At Georgia College, wellness courses carry the prefix WELL or ELEC, and most, but not all, orientation courses are numbered 0001 or are titled "First Year Academic Seminar." While the hours for these courses will still count toward full-time enrollment status and will still appear in a student's overall semester credit hours earned, they will be manually excluded when calculating a student's total hours earned toward graduation.
