Maymester Begins May

Registration for the Maymester at ABAC has
been brisk. Registrar Beth Saxon said
918 students had already registered for the summer term, and well over 850
students had early registered for the fall term. Internet registration for the Maymester and
for the summer will continue beginning at 8 a.m. on Tuesday through 8 a.m. on
May 6. Internet registration for the
summer will not be available during the Maymester, but will be available from 8
a.m. on May 28 until the end of the drop-add period at 5 p.m. on June 6.
Slight Tuition
Increase
The Board of Regents of the University
System of Georgia said tuition at two-year colleges across the state will
increase from $640 per semester to $666 per semester beginning with the fall
term. ABAC=s fees on top of tuition are scheduled to remain at $206 per
semester. You may recall that tuition
did not increase at two-year colleges across the state last year.

year=s budget which includes a 3.25 merit pay raise for University System
employees. Merit pay increases take
effect at the beginning of a faculty member=s contract and on Oct. 1 for non-faculty.
