Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

ITEM #1
Additional Admission/Placement
Requirements Affidavit
BEFORE PROCEEDING: THIS DOCUMENT IS REQUIRED BEFORE STUDENT
CAN BE ADMITTED TO AN APPLICABLE PROGRAM OF STUDY.
Certain programs of study at Horry-Georgetown Technical College carry additional requirements beyond
regular admission and academic requirements before a student may either be placed into the program
and/or be placed into a class that occurs in a clinical environment (hospital, office, public clinic, etc.).
Those additional requirements may include satisfactory completion of: Criminal Background Check
(CBC), Urine Drug Screening (UDS), and health exam/ physical/ immunization requirements. All costs
associated with additional requirements are the sole responsibility of the student and in no way are the
responsibility of Horry-Georgetown Technical College.
All students will be required to purchase the correct background check package as noted in the “Student
Background Check, Drug Screening and Immunization/Health Information Process” packet. Failure to
comply with the additional requirement(s) for your identified program of study, or failure to comply with
requirements to complete a CBC, UDS and/or health exam/ physical/ immunization, or failure to complete
or provide proof of completion of additional requirements by the stated deadline (varies by program, but
usually within 30 days prior to the beginning semester of clinical/field experience), and/or unsatisfactory
results on additional requirements (positive drug test, unacceptable criminal background, etc.) WILL
make you ineligible for admission for placement or to continue in the program of study and/or clinical
class(es) as appropriate.
*Note: Students who have not previously been enrolled in a clinical for more than one semester and/or should your
enrollment be interrupted (you miss a semester), new results for background checks, urine drug screening and/or
health/immunization will be required. All fees and costs associated with any checks, screenings or immunization are
the sole responsibility of the student.
Certification of Understanding
I, , certify that I have read this statement and understand its
implication on my current and future enrollment as a student at Horry-Georgetown Technical College, up
to and including removal from any appropriate class and/or program(s) of study for failure to comply
with outlined additional requirements. In addition I also certify that I will notify the College of any arrests
or criminal charges filed against me (the student) subsequent to completing this form; and any
situations or incidents that occur after the background check/drug test has been purchased (including
taking any illegal drugs). Failure to notify the College may result in dismissal from the program.

6.
7. The scoring criteria in the previous slide is used to
determine which applicants will be accepted into the
NMT program.10 students with the highest number
of points are accepted each year.
Every year scores vary. Acceptance depends on your
points vs. the points of the other applicants at that
time. Therefore admissible points may change each
review period.
Acceptance into the NMT program is limited and
competitive. There is no guarantee of acceptance.
Your grades are very important. Even though the
minimum GPA requirement is 2.50 you should strive
for a much higher GPA.
8. Be the Best Applicant You Can Be!
Applying with the highest number of points you can obtain is
important!!!
You may increase your points by:
Taking 12 or more credit hours (excluding developmental courses) at HGTC.
Applying for and obtaining residency status – go to
http://www.hgtc.edu/admissions/residency.html for a residency application. Obtaining a
South Carolina driver’s license and car registration (if the car is in your name) are normally
an important part of this process. Read the application and instructions carefully.
Applying with the best grades possible! The grades in your prerequisite courses play a large
part in NMT acceptance. Have a C in MAT 120? You will only receive one point for a C but if
you have an A you receive 5 points. Consider retaking MAT 120 or take MAT 110 (has a
prereq of MAT 102) to achieve a higher grade. Your grades in your other prereq courses are
just as important.
You can also increase your points by increasing your GPA as you will see in the Academic
Rigor section of the point criteria. You can use the calculator on the Libguides page to see
how much your GPA will increase by retaking or taking a different course in the same
prereq category and receiving a higher grade. Always check with financial aid before
retaking courses as it may affect your Satisfactory Academic Progress if you retake too
many or already have W’s, F’s or D’s in other courses.
Obtaining certification in a patient care field. This is a great way to increase your points
and gain skills for a job. Working full time in the health care field with your certification
increases your points even more.
Popular certifications in the health care field include Phlebotomy and CNA (Certified
Nursing Assistant).
9. Be the Best Applicant You Can Be!
Phlebotomy Certification
HGTC offers a 2 semester, 5 course Phlebotomy certificate which can be
obtained while you are completing your prereqs for NMT.
Complete AHS 102, BIO 112 or 210, AHS 141 and AHS 106 first and then you will
be eligible to take AHS 143 – a Phlebotomy clinical class – to complete your
certification. You will then be eligible for extra points on your NMT Application.
CNA Certification
A CNA may be obtained through the Workforce Development Department of
HGTC. You may view more information about this course at
www.hgtc.edu/jobtraining. Completion of this certificate will make you eligible
for extra points on your NMT application.
If you are health care certified and have worked in a patient care field for a
year or longer within the last 24 months you may be eligible for extra points
on your application. Obtain a letter from your employer, on letter head, which
includes your employers contact information, a brief description of your job
and the dates you have been employed. The employment must be within the
last two years. Submit this letter with your application. The NMT Department
will review it and determine if you qualify for “Previous Experience” points.
Please submit copies of all health care certifications with your application to
receive points. Certifications must be obtained within the last two years –
unless you are currently employed in your field of certification and are
submitting a letter from your employer along with your certification.
10. These requirements must be completed AFTER being accepted
into the program. The college will provide you with the
instructions about when to complete these requirements in your
notification of initial acceptance into the program. Please plan
ahead to cover the costs of these items. Failure to complete
these requirements within the designated time frame will
prohibit your progression into the program.
• Submit $500.00 deposit to reserve your seat. This is an out of pocket expense
– not covered by financial aid.
• Pass Certified Background Check and Drug Screening – cost to you is $91.00.
The return of an unfavorable CBS and/or UDS may result in student being
removed from desired program. Clinical sites/facilities determine applicant’s
eligibility to participate in clinical studies based on their policies. If you
complete the background check before being instructed to do so you will have
to redo it and pay the $91 again.
• Complete a Health Physical and submit proof of required immunizations.
(Physical cost is your responsibility so plan ahead financially.)
• Show proof of current Health Care Providers CPR. You may take a class through
HGTC’s Workforce Development Department. Register at
www.hgtc.edu/jobtraining. This course costs $69 and in addition will require
the purchase of a book and mask.
11. Other expenses for which you are responsible may
include, but are not limited to:
12. Nuclear Medicine Technology is a 3 semester Certificate program
beginning each Fall semester (August) on the Grand Strand
Campus. Classes and clinicals associated with this program are
during the day. Once accepted you will attend year round,
including summer. Please plan ahead financially as you may not
receive financial aid for the summer.
Clinicals will vary by semester but may require 1-2 days a week.
Students may have to travel up to a 50 mile radius to fulfill
clinical requirements so transportation and gas money must be
available.
13. Thank you for completing the Power
Point STEPS session.
Please view the checklist
underneath the STEPS session on
the Libguides page and submit it to
receive credit for the required
session.
You will need your H number
(Student ID number) to submit the
checklist.
