OTC Policy and Procedure Manual

Okefenokee Technical College is a unit of the Technical College System of Georgia. The State Board of Technical and Adult Education provides overall policies and procedures for the effective management of the College. State Board policies and procedures are published in the Policy Manual, accessed at tcsg.edu. The President of Okefenokee Technical College is responsible for the execution of state board policies and procedures.

Development and Approval of OTC Policies and Procedures

The OTC Local Board is authorized by the State Board of Technical and Adult Education to develop supplemental local policies to assist the College in carrying out its mission.

OTC local policies are developed according to guidelines established in the OTC Policy: Enactment of Local Board Policies. The OTC Local Board approves all local policies. However, the President is authorized to approve policy changes involving typographic errors or minor changes without substantive effect. The President notifies the Local Board of such changes.

New academic policies or proposed academic policy revisions are first presented to the OTC Academic Council for review and input.

Once a policy is approved by the OTC Local Board, the appropriate Vice President or President provides an electronic version of the approved policy to the web master for posting to the web-based OTC Policy and Procedure Manual.

OTC procedures do not require Local Board approval. Local college procedures are developed in accordance with the OTC Procedure: Enactment of Local Procedures. Once a local procedure is approved, the appropriate Vice President or President provides an electronic version of the approved procedure to the web master for posting to the web-based OTC Policy and Procedure Manual.

OTC local policies and procedures are reviewed periodically and changes are made as appropriate.
Whenever substantive or typographical errors are found, the reader is encouraged to report the error to the supervising vice president. It is the responsibility of the designated official for that policy or procedure to determine if an error exists and, if so, to obtain the necessary approvals to correct any error as soon as possible.
