Projections are prepared by the Director of Student Administrative Services, delivered to the Director of Budget and submitted for approval to the Executive Vice President of Finance and the Board of Trustees. Various constituencies across campus are "allocated" a certain amount of funding to award to students, within the budgeted amounts. These awards are submitted to the Executive Vice President of Finance for approval and then routed to the Director of Student Administrative Services who then, through the Director of Financial Aid, oversees the packaging of these awards and integration with other financial aid awards to insure that no students with federal financial aid are over-awarded. Since these awards are tuition-based, they are posted to students' accounts each quarter once schedules are locked and total tuition amounts can be verified by the Director of Student Accounts and staff. Quarterly, the Director of Student Administrative Services compares actual expenses to budgeted amounts and alerts the budget manager of any potential overages. The budget is reviewed in each case to make sure overages will not cause fiscal issues. If it appears that they will, adjustments are recommended by the Director of Budget to the Executive Vice President of Finance.

RESPONSE TO COVID19: ON MARCH 17, 2020, SEVEN WEEKS INTO WINTER QUARTER 2020, THE CAMPUS WAS SHUT DOWN DUE TO THE COVID19 PANDEMIC. THE CAMPUS BECAME A GHOST TOWN WITH THE ABSENCE OF STUDENTS AND VERY LITTLE PRESENCE FROM STAFF. THIS SHUT DOWN CREATED AN IMMEDIATE SHIFT FROM FACE-TO-FACE TEACHING TO REMOTE TEACHING. THIS SHIFT WAS UNPRECEDENTED BUT THE DCP FACULTY ALONG WITH THE CENTER FOR TEACHING AND LEARNING EXCELLENCE (CETL) STAFF, MADE IT A SUCCESS. IT WAS NOTED THAT DUE TO THE TIMING OF THE COVID19 PANDEMIC, MOST LABORATORY AND TECHNIQUE FINALS HAD BEEN IN PROGRESS OR COMPLETED. LECTURE COURSE EXAMINATIONS WERE CREATED AND DELIVERED IN A REMOTE FORMAT THROUGH THE INSTITUTION'S LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, BLACKBOARD. THE INSTITUTION'S CETL DEVELOPED TRAINING SESSIONS PROVIDING STEP BY STEP 'HOW TO' PROCEDURES TO ADMINISTER AN ASSESSMENT NORMALLY OVERSEEN IN A CLASSROOM INTO A FORMAT THAT COULD BE DELIVERED REMOTELY. FACULTY WENT TO WORK AND CONVERTED THEIR EXAMINATIONS TO AN ONLINE FORMAT WHICH INCLUDED METHODS TO ENSURE ACADEMIC INTEGRITY WHILE STUDENTS TOOK THE EXAMINATIONS. FINAL EXAMINATIONS WERE DELIVERED WITHOUT ISSUE FOR THE WINTER QUARTER 2020. DCP'S OUTPATIENT CLINIC REMAINED OPEN AND FACULTY CLINICIANS PROVIDED PATIENT CARE. COVID19 SCREENING PROCEDURES CONSISTENT WITH THE CENTER FOR DISEASE CONTROL (CDC) AND GEORGIA'S DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH GUIDELINES WERE IMMEDIATELY PUT INTO PLACE. PROCEDURES INCLUDED A MAILED WRITTEN NOTICE TO ALL PATIENTS WITH SCREENING QUESTIONS THAT, IF POSITIVE, WOULD PROHIBIT THEIR ENTRY INTO THE CLINIC; THEN UPON ARRIVAL, ADDITIONAL SCREENING PROCEDURES WERE FOLLOWED. IN ADDITION TO PATIENT AND EMPLOYEE SCREENING, ENHANCED CLEANING AND DISINFECTING PROTOCOLS WERE ALSO IMMEDIATELY ENACTED THROUGHOUT ALL AREAS OF THE CLINIC. THE DCP ADMINISTRATION CONTINUOUSLY MONITORED THE DATA FROM THE CDC AND QUICKLY REALIZED THAT COVID19 WAS NOT GOING AWAY ANYTIME SOON. THE ADMINISTRATION BEGAN WORKING ON A PLAN TO CONTINUE EDUCATION IN A REMOTE ENVIRONMENT. THIS WORK WAS DONE IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CETL TO DEVELOP HOW THE SPRING 2020 QUARTER'S EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS WOULD BE DELIVERED AND WHAT SUPPORT WOULD BE NEEDED, FOR FACULTY AND STUDENTS. SPRING QUARTER 2020 WAS COMPLETED SUCCESSFULLY IN A 100% REMOTE ENVIRONMENT. ONCE THE STATE OF GEORGIA CREATED THE REOPENING PHASES, THE DCP USED THOSE GUIDELINES ALONG WITH THE CDC AND GEORGIA'S DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH GUIDELINES TO PREPARE FOR SUMMER QUARTER 2020. THIS RESULTED IN ARRANGING THE DCP LABORATORY CLASSROOMS FOR ON GROUND INSTRUCTION WHILE CONTINUING TO KEEP LECTURE INSTRUCTION REMOTE. EVERY COURSE IN THE CURRICULUM WAS OFFERED IN A REMOTE FORMAT AND ALL LAB COURSES THAT WERE OFFERED ON CAMPUS HAD A REMOTE OPTION FOR STUDENTS WHO WERE UNABLE TO BE ON CAMPUS. STUDENTS WERE PROVIDED THE FLEXIBILITY TO MOVE EFFICIENTLY AND EFFECTIVELY FROM ON GROUND TO REMOTE LABS BASED ON THEIR PREFERENCE. ACADEMIC POLICY REVIEW AND REVISION: THE DCP CREATED A NEW POLICY, ENTITLED DOCTOR OF CHIROPRACTIC PROGRAM 1ST TERM GPA REQUIREMENT, TO IDENTIFY STUDENTS WHO HAVE NOT MET SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS WITH A GPA THAT HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS TOO LOW TO CONTINUE IN THE PROGRAM. THE POLICY REQUIRES STUDENTS TO HAVE ACHIEVED A MINIMUM GPA AFTER FIRST QUARTER TO ENSURE THE STUDENT IS SERIOUS ABOUT THEIR STUDIES AND IS ABLE TO BE SUCCESSFUL BEYOND THE FIRST TERM OF STUDY. THE POLICY IS IN RESPONSE TO THE REVISED COUNCIL ON CHIROPRACTIC EDUCATION STANDARDS POLICY 56 FOR A MINIMUM OVERALL COMPLETION RATE OF 70% AT 150% OF THE NORMAL TIME TO COMPLETE THE PROGRAM. THE COUNCIL CREATED AN EXCEPTION FOR MEETING THE POLICY FOR STUDENTS WHO ARE UNABLE TO PROGRESS PAST THEIR FIRST TERM OF ENROLLMENT, THESE STUDENTS ARE NOT COUNTED IN THE 70% COMPLETION RATE REQUIREMENT. TECHNIQUE LAB OF THE FUTURE: THE DCP CREATED A TECHNIQUE LAB THAT ENHANCED THE WAY STUDENTS LEARN HOW TO ADJUST. THIS LAB IS CALLED THE LIFE UNIVERSITY TECHNIQUE LAB OF THE FUTURE. THIS LAB CONSISTS OF 12 SIMULATED PALPATION ADJUSTMENT TRAINERS (PAT). PAT IS AN ANATOMICALLY ACCURATE, 3-D PRINTED AXIAL SKELETON COATED IN REALISTIC SILICONE SKIN & MUSCLES. THERE ARE EMBEDDED PRESSURE SENSORS THAT MEASURE LOCATION OF CONTACT ON THE MANNEQUIN. INTERNAL CONTROLS CREATE INTERSEGMENTAL FIXATION AT SPECIFIC SPINAL REGIONS. PAT HELP STUDENTS LEARN TO LOCATE VERTEBRAL LANDMARKS BY PALPATION, FIND RESTRICTED MOTION AND PERFORM ADJUSTMENTS WITH CONTROLLED AMOUNTS OF FORCE AND SPEED, AND ALONG A SPECIFIC VECTOR. PAT ALLOWS STUDENTS TO RECEIVE IMMEDIATE, OBJECTIVE FEEDBACK ABOUT THE "WHERE, HOW HARD, HOW FAST AND IN WHICH DIRECTION" PART OF ADJUSTING BEFORE THEY MOVE TO RENDERING CARE TO OUR PATIENT POPULATION. PAT IS CURRENTLY BEING USED IN CHIROPRACTIC TECHNIQUE COURSES IN THE FIRST SEVEN QUARTERS. STUDENTS CAN ALSO USE PAT DURING OPEN LAB TIMES TO HONE SKILLS IN ANY TECHNIQUE. COLLEGE OF CHIROPRACTIC CLINIC SYSTEM THE MISSION OF THE LIFE UNIVERSITY CLINIC SYSTEM IS TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH AND WELLBEING OF PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE BY PROVIDING CHIROPRACTIC CARE AND OTHER HEALTH SERVICES, CENTERED ON THE VERTEBRAL SUBLUXATION COMPLEX. WE WILL MAINTAIN EXCELLENCE IN THE EDUCATIONAL STANDARDS OF OUR TEACHING CLINICS AND ENCOURAGE ALL CONSTITUENTS OF OUR CLINICS TO ACTIVELY PARTICIPATE IN THEIR OWN HEALTH AND WELLNESS CARE, AND TO ACTIVELY PARTICIPATE IN HEALTH AND WELLNESS PROGRAMS THAT REACH OUT TO OTHERS IN OUR COMMUNITIES. CLINICAL OPERATIONS INCORPORATE A VARIETY OF CHIROPRACTIC SERVICES PROVIDED TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC INCLUSIVE OF COMPLEMENTARY SERVICES PROVIDED TO A RANGE OF SPECIAL POPULATIONS. THE CLINIC SYSTEM IS COMPOSED OF SEVERAL TYPES OF CLINICAL EXPERIENCES. THE CLINICAL EDUCATION AND PATIENT CARE DELIVERY ARE STRATIFIED INTO THREE LEVELS. THE EDUCATIONAL GOALS AND OBJECTIVES ARE CLEARLY SPELLED OUT FOR EACH LEVEL, AND ASSESSMENT TOOLS DEVELOPED TO ENSURE THAT APPROPRIATE COMPETENCIES ARE MEASURED, AND OUTCOMES UTILIZED TO IMPROVE THE CLINICAL PROGRAM. LEVEL I EXPERIENCE: THE LEVEL I CLINIC EXPERIENCE INCLUDES QUARTERS ONE THROUGH NINE AND IS WHERE BASIC COMPETENCIES ARE DEVELOPING IN AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE THERE IS CLOSE FACULTY SUPERVISION AND MENTORSHIP. THE MAJORITY OF PATIENTS BEING CARED FOR AT LEVEL I CLINIC ARE NOT EXPECTED TO PRESENT WITH COMPLEX CASE PRESENTATIONS. LEVEL I CLINIC: THE CAMPUS CENTER FOR HEALTH AND OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE PROVIDES HEALTH CARE SERVICES FOR THE LIFE UNIVERSITY STUDENT COMMUNITY AND HAS PROVIDED CARE FOR OVER 30,000 PATIENT VISITS AT NO CHARGE TO THE PATIENTS. THE CAMPUS CENTER FOR HEALTH AND OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE 1269 BARCLAY CIRCLE MARIETTA, GA 30060 THE CENTER FOR HEALTH AND OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE 1415 BARCLAY CIRCLE MARIETTA, GA 30060 LEVEL II EXPERIENCE: THE LEVEL II CLINIC EXPERIENCE INCLUDES QUARTERS TEN THROUGH TWELVE. STUDENTS CONTINUE TO DEVELOP COMPETENCY AND CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS, AND ALSO FOCUS ON DEVELOPING COMPETENCY IN PATIENT MANAGEMENT. ALTHOUGH COMPETENCY DEVELOPMENT CONTINUES, THE STUDENT NOW HAS ACCESS TO A LARGER VOLUME AND VARIETY OF PATIENTS WITH A RANGE OF CONDITIONS. LEVEL II CLINIC: THE CENTER FOR HEALTH AND OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE PROVIDES HEALTH CARE SERVICES TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC IN A FEE-FOR-SERVICE ENVIRONMENT. THE OUTPATIENT FACILITY PROVIDED CARE FOR ALMOST 58,000 PATIENT VISITS WITH 40% OF THE CARE PROVIDED AT NO CHARGE TO THE PATIENTS. LEVEL III EXPERIENCES: LEVEL III CLINIC ENCOMPASSES THE FINAL QUARTERS OF THE CLINICAL EDUCATION PROGRAM. IN LEVEL III THE STUDENT EXPERIENCES INTEGRATION INTO BROADER HEALTH CARE ENVIRONMENTS. THESE EXPERIENCES ARE PROVIDED THROUGH A VARIETY OF PROGRAMS; THESE PROGRAMS MAY INCLUDE FIELD DOCTORS OFFICE EXPERIENCES, INTERNATIONAL SATELLITE CLINICS, AND/OR SPORTING EVENTS. ALL OFF CAMPUS CLINICAL EDUCATION EXPERIENCES TAKE PLACE AT SITES THAT HAVE AGREEMENTS AND/OR SIGNED CONTRACTS WITH THE UNIVERSITY. LIFE UNIVERSITY ALSO OWNS AND/OR OPERATES TWO COMMUNITY OUTREACH CLINICS IN THE METRO ATLANTA AREA THAT SERVE SPECIAL NEEDS POPULATIONS. LEVEL III CLINICS: THERE ARE CURRENTLY THREE PROGRAMS OPERATING UNDER THE LEVEL III PROGRAMS; THEY ARE OUTREACH, FIELD PRACTICE, AND INTERNATIONAL CLINICS. OUTREACH: THE OUTREACH CLINICS PROVIDE HEALTH CARE SERVICES TO SPECIAL NEEDS POPULATIONS IN THE METRO ATLANTA AREA AND PROVIDES PATIENT VISITS AT NO CHARGE. OUTREACH CLINIC PROGRAM COMMUNITY OUTREACH CLINIC - THE EXTENSION 1507 CHURCH STREET MARIETTA, GA 30060 CLINIC PROGRAM ACTIVITIES IN RESPONSE TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, ON MARCH 15, 2020 LIFE UNIVERSITY CLINICS IMPLEMENTED PATIENT AND EMPLOYEE SAFETY PROCEDURE AND PRACTICES, WHICH WERE BASED ON THE RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE CENTER FOR DISEASE CONTROL (CDC), WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION (WHO), AND THE GEORGIA DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH (GDPH). THE CLINICS IMPLEMENTED SCREENING THOUGH QUESTIONNAIRE AND TEMPERATURE CHECK, MASKING/FACE COVERING FOR EMPLOYEES AND PATIENTS, SOCIAL DISTANCING, AND AROUND THE CLOCK SANITIZING PRACTICES AT THE CLINIC FACILITIES. ON MARCH 17, 2020, AS THE LIFE UNIVERSITY CAMPUS SHUT DOWN FOR STUDENTS, THE CENTER FOR HEALTH AND OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE (C-HOP) MAINTAINED OPERATIONS FOR THE COMMUNITY. THE DOCTORS DIRECTLY PROVIDED CARE FOR THEIR PATIENTS, WHILE CLINIC STAFF-MAINTAINED SUPPORT OPERATIONS. DURING COVID-19, TO HELP MAINTAIN SAFETY AND MANAGE RESOURCES, THE OUTREACH PATIENTS WERE DIRECTED TO THE C-HOP FACILITY FOR CARE, AS THE COMMUNITY OUTREACH EXTENSION WAS SHUT DOWN FOR SERVICES. DURING THE PERIOD OF CAMPUS SHUTDOWN, THE INTERNS WERE ABLE TO OBTAIN THE NEEDED TRAINING THROUGH A REMOTE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT; PEAK PROGRAM MAINTAINED NORMAL OPERATIONS DURING THE CAMPUS SHUTDOWN. BEGINNING IN THE SUMMER OF 2020, INTERNS WERE ALLOWED BACK TO CLINICS TO PARTICIPATE WITH PATIENT CARE ACTIVITIES AND OBTAIN VALUABLE CLINICAL EDUCATION AT CC-HOP AND C-HOP.
