Is the Georgia Higher Education Alliance a state supported entity?
No. The Alliance is a private, self supporting
consortium of colleges and universities in the Metro Atlanta area
who provide degree programs specifically designed to meet the
educational needs of working adult students. Organizational
membership is voluntary, and participants are typically from the
admissions or enrollment departments of the adult education
programs within those institutions. Top
Does the Alliance include both public and
private institutions?
Yes. Alliance membership includes State (public) and private
colleges and universities. It also includes both non-profit and
for-profit (proprietary) institutions. Top

Does it cost anything for my institution to
join the alliance?
Yes. Membership in the Alliance requires the joining institution
to pay a membership fee of $300.00 per year. This money is used
to further the goals of the Alliance in accordance with the
organization's by-laws, as approved by the members. Top
How does the Alliance help my institution to
get into corporate sites?
Many corporations and large businesses are reluctant to allow a
single institution to conduct recruiting activities within their
organization. Many have policies that prohibit such activities
to avoid any appearance of favoritism to one institution. As a
member of the Alliance, all members legitimately represent a
consortium of a variety of different types of educational
institutions when they offer to conduct recruiting activities for
a corporation. This advantage creates a less threatening
environment, and often results in gaining access to the decision
makers. It often leads to receiving permission to conduct
recruiting activities in businesses that otherwise would not be
achievable. Top
Does the Alliance provide my institution with student leads?
Not directly. The Alliance provides all member institutions
with the collective power of the organization to help create
opportunities to set up corporate information meetings, education
and job fairs, as well as other recruiting activities. Once
those activities are scheduled and conducted, the success of
those activities in generating leads for a particular institution
is strictly dependent upon the performance of the enrollment
staff of that institution. Top
