Conflicts can be hard. Most people want to avoid conflicts altogether. Many get so emotional that they feel they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even say a single word. Others may rely on a simple age-old technique of silence treatment, which does not really do them or others any good. What do you do when you are in a conflict? Do you just leave it and hope that it goes away? The chances are that it probably doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go away and will come back to haunt you. Conflicts have a tendency to escalate when untreated, they can make the environment toxic and unproductive and eventually the conflict may come to control you rather you controlling it.

Information about the supplies and books (title, author and ISBN) is posted on our website and will be printed on receipts. Students may choose to use the Clayton State University Bookstore on main campus, Amazon or Barnes & Noble. CHILDREN: Most of our courses have been developed for adult learners, therefore, we have a minimum age of 16 years to attend our courses.

In case of a weather related closing, or any other type of emergency closing, the University has an extensive media contact list for such emergency situations. For information about all radio and TV outlets that will be contacted upon closing, please visit the University’s main webpage at www.clayton.edu. During any potential emergency weather situation, information about Clayton State’s plans will also be available on the University’s web page and through the University’s main telephone number (678-466-4000). Please do not call the Office of Public Safety, or the Office of University Relations. At times of bad weather or other emergencies, University officials make decisions on whether or not to close the campus based on public safety reports and other considerations. In such cases, the safety and security of the majority of students is a prime consideration. If the University is closed, then classes are cancelled for all students. If the institution remains open, we recognize that there may be special circumstances that pertain to individual students that are more serious than those that apply to the majority. So, students are advised to use their best judgment about their safety and that of their families in those situations, and to consult with individual faculty members about making up lost time. In the event that other instructional sites are closed, every effort will be made to contact students and instructors by phone and/or email. OUR BUILDING AND OFFICES WILL BE CLOSED THE FOLLOWING DATES: Sept. 2, Nov. 28-29, Dec. 23-27, and Jan. 1.
