Tuesday is deadline to apply for PTC college classes Students wishing to enroll at Clayton College & State University for the fall semester and attend classes at the Fayette County Higher Education Center in Peachtree City have until Tuesday to register. According the Clayton State Director of Admissions Jeff Hammer, students will need to submit their application and all supporting documents, including college and/or high school transcripts by July 1 for admission to the fall semester. Students who have been out of high school for five years or more and have completed fewer than 30 semester hours of transferable college credit must take the COMPASS test before applying for admission. Those students will be given an extension until July 31 to complete the test. CCSU will begin offering academic classes in Fayette County to students accepted for admission into the University for the Fall 2003 term. Clayton State has been offering non-credit, Continuing Education and small business development classes since October through the Fayette County Center, located in the Peachtree City Tennis Center. Starting in August, four college-credit evening classes will be offered on Tuesdays and Thursdays. A group of 43 students, divided into two sections, will be admitted for the fall. So far, just 10 applications have been received for the Fayette Center specifically, said John Shiffert, spokesman for the university. This fall's classes will be focused towards adult or non-traditional students who have little or no college credit but wish to pursue a bachelor's degree. Non-traditional students are defined as those individuals who graduated from high school five or more years ago. For more information on Clayton State, call 770-961-3500 or go to www.clayton.edu.
