About Owens Community College 

A Brief History ... A Look Ahead 

Owens Community College began as a technical institute under the jurisdiction of the Ohio Department of Education. 

The first classes were offered in Toledo on September 13, 1965 with less than 200 students. Two years later, in 1967, 

the Ohio Board of Regents chartered the College as a technical college. In 1983, Owens Community College opened its 

Findlay-area campus at Cory and Davis streets in Findlay, Ohio. 

In 1994, the College was chartered as a comprehensive state community college with a district encompassing Lucas, 

Wood and Hancock counties, and parts of Ottawa and Sandusky counties. 

Since then, the College has emerged as a national leader in higher education due to skyrocketing enrollment, expanding 

program choices and new, state-of-the-art facilities. 

With 27 consecutive semesters of enrollment growth, the number of students served by the College has more than 

doubled since 1994. This academic year, the College offers more than 160 program areas to choose from, making it 

Northwest Ohio’s #1 Choice. 

The Center for Fine and Performing Arts represents the sixth new building added to the Toledo-area campus since 1994, 

joining the Fire Science/Law Enforcement Center, Library, Audio/Visual Classroom Center, Math/Science Center and 

Student Health and Activities Center. 

Owens Community College offers even more promise with a bright future. 

In Fall Semester 2005, the new Findlay-area campus will open 1.5 miles east of Interstate 75, Exit 161 at the convergence 

of Township Road 212 and Bright Road. 

On the Toledo-area Campus, construction is under way for the Fire and Police Training Center for Homeland Security, a 

facility that will not only serve police, fire, military, maritime and medical personnel throughout Northwest Ohio but also 

the United States.

The Best Choice 

3 


Owens Community College students come from all walks of life. Some students register right out of high school. Other 

students are older, having taken a break from school to start or raise a family. Still others are transfer students from 

another college or university and there are some students who return to school to increase their job skills. 

Each and every one of our students has a different story, a different life circumstance. In fact, it’s a safe bet that no two 

stories are alike. That’s OK. Owens Community College faculty and staff members celebrate diversity and work diligently 

to help all students achieve their varied goals. 

We partner with business and industry leaders, local government officials and community organizations to ensure that we 

maintain high-quality standards. We tap their resources with you – the student – in mind. 

Owens Community College wants to produce well-rounded, educated students who make Northwest Ohio a better place 

to work and live. A majority of our students live and work here, and so do a majority of our alumni. We live and work 

here, too – so we also have a vested interest to offer quality programs and top-notch instruction. 

Many faculty members bring real-world experiences and the knowledge gained from advanced degrees into the classroom. 

Besides traditional instructional methods, Owens Community College is committed to alternative learning avenues such 

as the highly popular web courses and telecourses. For students who need a little extra assistance with their studies, we 

offer tutoring services and labs that will help with writing, math, reading, test-taking skills and more. 

Outside of academics, Owens Community College features many recreational activities through the Student Health and 

Activities Center. Affectionately known as the SHAC, this facility is a great place to work out or get involved by joining 

one of the many student activity groups or clubs. 

And it all comes at a cost unmatched by any other college or university in Northwest Ohio. 

Make Owens Community College your choice for a higher education!

There are two types of Technical Studies programs. The “Type A” program requires at least 

34 credit hours from two technical areas with a minimum of 21 credit hours in one area 

and a minimum of nine credit hours in the other area. The “Type B” program offers up 

to 30 credit hours of “block credit” toward graduation requirements to individuals with 

prior educational and occupational experiences not previously recognized for college credit. 

Currently, the program offers registered radiographers, who have obtained a certificate from a 

hospital-based radiography program, block credit toward a degree, as well as journey persons 

from area companies who have completed formal related training apprenticeship programs. 

For more information, contact the department office of the technology of your major area 

of interest. Interested students must complete a separate application for the Associate Degree 

of Technical Studies available in the Records Office. Regular admission to the College is

College’s many Certificate Programs will receive the necessary knowledge and skills consistent 

with current and emerging educational and labor market needs.

General Education Competencies

Assessment of Student Learning 

At Owens Community College, assessment is a high priority in helping the College maintain a high-quality learning environment for all students. 

Purpose 

The purpose of student learning is to help the College determine the extent to which 

it is fulfilling its mission of educating students. Assessment allows the College to make 

improvements in program structure, course content and pedagogy. 

Assessing Student Learning at the Program Level 

Assessment at the program level provides a clear sense of what the program is designed to 

accomplish and what students who complete the program should know, understand, and be 

able to do when they graduate. Ultimately, the assessment process yields data that informs 

faculty and other decision-makers about relevant issues impacting the program, classroom 

instruction, and student learning. These data are used as a relevant foundation to support 

recommendations for program improvement. 

Student’ Role 

Students are assessed at all levels of institutional operations, including program and general 

education levels, at different points during their academic career at Owens. Typically, 

assessment is embedded within the teaching function of Owens and occurs during each 

student’s regular academic effort. The student’s role is very important in the assessment 

process. Indeed, student participation is an essential component of a successful program. 

Through participation and the demonstration of competence in course material as well as 

general education core competencies, the College is able to get a series of snapshots of a 

student’s performance. 

Assessing Student Learning at the Institutional Level 

Assessment monitors the competence of students, not just in terms of expertise in their 

program of study, but also with respect to the attainment of a general education. All degreeseeking 

students at Owens must complete a core of courses to provide a foundation that 

aids in the achievement of general education competencies in writing, oral communication, 

mathematics, and computer skills. 

In addition to the core competency categories mentioned above, the College has identified 

a number of other important components of its General Education Program. Owens 

Community College encourages and supports initiatives at the personal, departmental 

and college-wide levels that help students develop and augment those values and skills 

necessary for living in an increasingly complex and ever-changing global environment. These 

components of the College’s General Education Core include critical thinking, ethics, and 

diversity. Students will find additional information on the College’s General Education Core 

in this catalog.

Non-Degree Students Registration Process 

Guest Students – A guest student is a student attending another 

college or university who wants to enroll at Owens Community 

College for a few classes before returning to a former school. A 

guest student should begin the registration process by visiting 

the Enrollment Services Office. An Enrollment Services 

Representative will determine if additional academic assessment 

is needed prior to registration. 

Transfer Students – A student transferring from another 

college who wants to obtain a degree or certificate from Owens 

Community College should submit all transcripts from colleges 

previously attended. A transfer student should begin the 

registration process by meeting with an Enrollment Services 

Representative who will determine if additional academic 

assessment is needed prior to registration. 

Self-Enrichment – A student who wants to take one or two 

classes for self-improvement, either for personal satisfaction 

or for a job, should begin the registration process by visiting 

Enrollment Services. An Enrollment Services Representative will 

determine if additional academic assessment is needed prior to 

registration. 

Returning Students and Change of Majors 

Students returning to Owens Community College after an 

absence may find some changes have occurred in a previous 

major. Contact an Enrollment Services Advisor or the 

Department Chair for an update. If a student has been absent 

from Owens Community College for five years or longer, the 

student may need to repeat some courses. 

Students who change majors after enrolling at Owens 

Community College need to file a Student Directory 

Data Change Form in the Records Office and meet with

19 

Admission 


an Enrollment Services Representative to learn about any 

requirements that exist in a new program. Students also may 

want to meet with the Department Chair. Returning students 

re-enter under the policies published in the College Catalog in 

effect at the time of readmission. 

Residency and Reciprocity Students 

If a student is not an Ohio resident, the student will be charged 

out-of-state instructional and general fees. However, there are 

occasions when students who are not Ohio residents are eligible 

for in-state instructional and general fee rates. To find out if a 

student is eligible for in-state rates, refer to Residency and/or 

Reciprocity in the Academic Policies and Procedures section of 

this Catalog. To be considered for in-state rates, an application 

must be filed. All Monroe County residents must apply for 

reciprocity in order to determine eligibility. Applications for 

in-state rates are available in the Records Office (see page 69 for 

more information). 

Mature Citizens Admission Policy 

The Mature Citizens Program is designed for Ohio residents 60 

years of age or older who want to attend college. Instructional 

fees are waived for the mature citizen taking coursework on a 

non-degree (audit) and space available basis on or after the first 

day of the semester. 

Individuals enrolled in this program may take coursework 

for their own enjoyment, to learn a new skill, to explore new 

ideas, or to study those areas for which they never had time. All 

academic policies and procedures will apply to the mature citizen 

just as they do to all other students. 

Any mature citizen desiring credit for coursework, or who wishes 

to work for a degree, must pay all required fees. Students are 

responsible for any book and other expenses attached to the 

course they choose. 

Selective Service Registration 

The Ohio Legislature has enacted a law requiring all eligible 

students to register for Selective Service in order to be eligible 

for various benefits. Owens Community College and all other 

public-assisted institutions are required to certify eligible 

students’ registration to the Ohio Board of Regents. 

Male students between the ages of 18 and 26 must register for 

Selective Service. Failure to register will result in the College 

being required to charge out-of-state tuition and fees. Also, 

students not registered for Selective Service may not be eligible 

for federal and state financial aid. To register for Selective Service, 

visit any area post office, register at www.sss.gov, or call (847) 

688-6888. 

Selective Admissions 

Programs – A number of majors require additional test scores or 

materials to be sent to the College. When all required materials 

have been received by the College, students are considered 

for acceptance into these areas. Programs with additional 

requirements include all Health Technologies, Early Childhood 

Education and Post-Secondary Enrollment Option for high 

school students. Students applying for admission to any of these 

areas should refer to the specific major in the Program Areas 

section of this Catalog. 

Selective Health Admissions – Acceptance to Owens 

Community College does not ensure acceptance to a particular 

major. If you are majoring in any Health Technologies program, 

there are additional responsibilities that you must meet before 

you are evaluated and then formally accepted into the program. 

Be certain you understand the answers to the following three 

questions:

Early Admission Policies 



High school students may obtain early admission to Owens 

Community College under two different programs: Early 

Admission and Post-Secondary Enrollment Options Program. 

There are several important differences between these programs, 

including funding sources. 

Early Admission 

Early admission recognizes the desire for some high school 

students to experience college-level coursework, supplement their 

high school curriculum, enjoy courses of special interest and/or 

accumulate college credit. Coursework may be applied toward 

a program at Owens Community College or be transferred 

to another college or university according to that institution’s 

transfer policy. 

Students currently enrolled in high school must submit the 

written consent of their high school guidance counselor or 

principal, college application and high school transcript. To 

be successful, early admission requires pre-admission advising. 

Students are required to meet with the Owens Community 

College Enrollment Services staff prior to registration. 

Applicants 18 years of age and under, who have not graduated 

from high school or are not currently enrolled in high school, 

must meet with an Owens Community College Enrollment 

Services Representative prior to registration. A college 

representative will contact the high school the applicant last 

attended. 

All early admission students must achieve certain scores on 

the Owens Community College placement test, needed for 

placement into college-level coursework. Early admission 

students must achieve college-level scores on the reading, writing 

and math assessments. Applicants may waive COMPASS if their 

ACT scores are Math 20, Reading 22, and English 21 or SAT 

scores are Math 425 and Verbal 425. 

Students with exceptional circumstances or special needs 

who do not meet admissions standards may apply for special 

consideration with a letter of support from a high school 

principal or guidance counselor. These students and their 

parents are required to meet with an Enrollment Services 

Advisor. 

Advanced standing may be granted by articulation, proficiency 

examination, credit waiver or credit transfer. 

Post-Secondary Enrollment Options 

Under the Post-Secondary Enrollment Options Program (PSO), 

high school students may enroll for high school and/or college 

credit at Owens Community College. Students may enroll in 

classes on the Toledo-area Campus and Findlay-area Campus 

or take selected Post-Secondary Enrollment classes at their 

home high schools. The same standards for entry into the Post- 

Secondary Enrollment Options Program apply for on-campus or 

off-campus classes.

21 

Admission 


The Post-Secondary Enrollment Options Program has two 

options: 

Option A 

Students may enroll for college credit only and the 

student is responsible for tuition, fees and books. 

Option B 

Students may enroll for high school and college credit. 

The state of Ohio and the student’s home school pay 

for the tuition, fees and book expenses. Students are 

responsible for all course expenses beyond their text and 

workbooks. This includes software, art and photography 

supplies, calculators, health and fitness expenses, and general 

school supplies. 

Textbooks are the property of the College. Presently, the College 

allows Post-Secondary students to keep their textbooks at the 

conclusion of the course. 

To ensure a quality and successful experience for all students 

attending under this program, Owens Community College 

has established the following requirements for eligibility to 

participate. 

Applicants must: 

1. Submit a completed application for the Post-Secondary 

Enrollment Options Program. 

2. Complete the eighth grade. 

3. Achieve certain scores on the Owens Community College 

placement test, needed for recommendation into college-level 

coursework. For admission, post-secondary students must 

achieve college level scores on the reading assessment, as well as 

the math or the writing assessment. Applicants may waive the 

placement test if their ACT scores are Math 20, Reading 22 and 

English 21 or SAT scores are Math 425 and Verbal 425. 

4. Provide the High School Information Form indicating 

that the student and the parent or guardian has obtained the 

required counseling from the high school guidance counselor. 

5. A student may not enroll in any specific college course 

through the program if the student has taken high school 

courses in the same subject area as that college course and has 

failed to achieve a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.0 

on a 4.0 scale, or the equivalent in such completed high school 

courses. 

6. A student who does not maintain an overall grade point 

average of 2.0 or better is not permitted to enroll in 

sequential semesters. The student may reapply to the PSO 

Program by submitting a new high school information form 

and meeting with a PSO Advisor. 

7. Agree to abide by all the policies and procedures of Owens 

Community College, as well as any specific to this program. 

Students are required to participate in Post-Secondary 

Enrollment Options Program attendance reporting and 

academic progress reporting programs. Students and their 

parents are required to participate in special college orientation 

programs. 

8. The deadline to register for Fall Semester 2004 classes for 

PSO students is July 2, 2004. The deadline to register for 

Spring Semester 2005 classes for PSO students is December 17, 

2004. 

Admission to the program does not ensure acceptance into a 

specific program of study. (See the requirements listed under the 

program of interest or meet with the Department Chair or the 

Enrollment Services PSO Coordinator.)

International Students Admission 

Policies 



Owens Community College welcomes students from other 

countries to apply for admission to the College. Acceptance 

to the College can be approved for either the Fall, Spring 

or Summer semesters. The College advises students coming 

from abroad to complete the admission process as soon as 

possible prior to their anticipated college start date, as they 

may experience a 30-day waiting period for F-1 student visa 

authorization. Admission requirements for international students 

are as follows: 

1. Completion of the International Student Application and 

Data Sheet (available in the International Student Enrollment 

Services Office or at www.owens.edu). 

2. Proof of English Language Proficiency – F-1 students must 

provide evidence of English proficiency by submitting test 

scores from the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) 

or other recognized English proficiency test. A minimum 

score of 500 is required on the written TOEFL or 173 on the 

computer-based TOEFL. If a different English proficiency test 

is submitted, students must have the minimum passing score 

for the specific examination. College English transfer credit also 

may be considered for proof of English proficiency. 

Applications for taking the TOEFL may be obtained from binational 

agencies, U.S.I.S. Offices or by applying directly to 

Educational Testing Services, Princeton, New Jersey 08450. Go 

to www.tofel.org for more information. 

International students also are required to take the Owens 

Community College placement exam (COMPASS) to 

determine writing, reading and math placement. International 

students requesting consideration for acceptance to Owens 

Community College without appropriate evidence of English 

proficiency, (TOEFL, other proficiency exam, transfer credit 

for English or math, etc.) are required to achieve the following 

scores on COMPASS for acceptance to the College: Writing 23, 

Reading 46 and Math 24. 

3. Proof of Adequate Financial Support – It is estimated that 

the international student will need a minimum of $15,500 per 

year for tuition and living expenses while attending Owens 

Community College. Adequate funding for your education 

and living expenses in the U.S. is a critical factor in successfully 

obtaining your student visa. You are required to submit official 

financial aid documentation and an official letter(s) verifying 

that these funds will be available to you for the duration of your 

education and stay in this country. 

4. Transcripts – Official high school and college or university 

transcripts are required before acceptance. All document 

submitted to the College by the student or the student’s 

representative must be translated into the English language, if 

the original language used is not English. 

5. Transfer – If an international student is presently in the 

United States and attending a college or university, but wants

Express Card Student ID 

The Express Card is an identification and debit card. Students 

use the Express Card as a student ID and to use the computer 

labs, Testing Center and Library. To obtain an ID card, students 

must be registered for classes and present a photo ID to the 

Express Card Station in the Records Office. There is no charge 

for the first ID card. 

The Express Card account is non-interest bearing. Only the 

person pictured on the card is authorized to spend money from 

that account. Owens reserves the right to change the account 

terms and conditions at any time. If a change reduces limits 

or restricts the account holder’s rights under the terms and 

conditions, the College will give at least 20 calendar days notice 

by mail. However, if an immediate change is necessary for 

security reasons, the College may first make the change and then 

notify the account holder. 

Deposits: Currency deposits of $1 to $20 may be made at any 

Value Transfer Station, located in College Hall, the AVCC 

Hall, Student Health & Activities Center and the Findlay-area 

Campus Atrium. The use of credit cards and personal checks for 

deposits of $5 or more will be accepted during business hours 

at the Bursar’s Office. The maximum deposit by check is $30. 

A $10 charge will be assessed upon receipt of a returned check. 

Receipts will be provided for all purchases or deposits at cashier 

attended stations and for all deposits at Value Transfer Stations. 

Refunds: Cash withdrawals and credit card reimbursements from 

the Express Card Account are not permitted. Refunds by check 

are issued only after the account balance is $2 or more and a 

written request is received by the Bursar’s Office. Refund checks 

are written in the name of the account holder and mailed to the 

current address on file in the Records Office. Accounts with no 

activity over a 12-month period are considered inactive. Inactive 

accounts will be terminated regardless of balance. 

Questions on Deposits or Charges to a Cardholder Account 

and Error Resolution Procedures: If the account holder 

believes there is a discrepancy with a charge to the account, the 

department that processed the transaction should be contacted 

within 30 calendar days. Questions regarding deposits made on 

an account need to be brought to the attention of the Bursar’s 

Office during normal business hours. 

If there is a discrepancy on an account, the request to review the 

account must be in writing. The account holder will be requested 

to include the account holder name and account number, 

describe the transaction in question and explain as clearly as 

possible the discrepancy and indicate the date and dollar amount 

of the transaction. The department responsible for reviewing 

the discrepancy will notify the account holder in writing of any 

corrective measures put in place. Any errors found through the 

investigation will be immediately corrected. 

Reporting Lost, Stolen or Damaged Cards and Liability for 

Card Use: It is the cardholder’s responsibility to report a lost or 

stolen card immediately. If a card is lost or stolen, the account 

holder’s liability for unauthorized charges is limited to the funds 

available on the account. During business hours, notice may be 

given to the Records Office by phone, in person or in writing 

– Records Office, P.O. Box 10,000, Toledo, OH 43699-1947. 

After normal business hours, contact the Records Office by 

telephone. Leave a message stating your name, Express Card 

Student ID number and brief description of the circumstances. 

If notice is given by telephone, it must be confirmed in writing 

within 48 hours to the Records Office at the above address. A 

$15 replacement fee will be charged for any lost or stolen card. 

Disclosure of Account Information to Third Parties: The 

College will disclose information to third parties about the 

account holder’s account or the transactions only...

reserves the right to terminate the cardholder’s use of the card 

for purchase at any time. Any obligation of the account holder 

to make a payment or reimbursement to the College will survive

Transfer In and Transfer Out 

27 

Transfer In and Out 



Classes transfer in and out at Owens Community College 

Depending on the major, students can earn the first two years of 

a bachelor’s degree and Transfer Out to area four-year colleges 

and universities. Students also can Transfer In from another 

college or university and earn an associate degree or certificate. 

Transfer Advising 

Students transferring from Owens Community College: 

As a comprehensive community college, Owens Community 

College works with baccalaureate-granting colleges and 

universities to assist students with a smooth transfer. Preparation 

for transfer begins the first semester at Owens Community 

College. The Enrollment Services Office is available to assist 

students with the transfer process. The following list of 

recommendations should assist those students: 

• Students should meet with an Enrollment Services Advisor 

• The Enrollment Services Office has transfer information 

available including catalogs, applications, scholarship 

information and transfer guides. Transfer information also is 

available on the Course Applicability System (CAS), located 

at www.transfer.org, where students can access transfer courseequivalents, 

telephone numbers of advisors, articulation 

agreements and campus visit information. Enrollment Services 

also provides information on campus visits, articulation 

agreements and contact information for advisors at the fouryear 

institutions. 

• Early in the academic experience at Owens Community 

College, students should meet with a representative at the 

institution to which they are planning to transfer. The Owens 

Community College Office of Enrollment Services has 

information on area institutions. 

• There is a difference between transferability and applicability 

of coursework between institutions 

• The institution receiving the transfer credit determines if 

their school has an equivalent course. If it does, the credit is 

transferable. 

• It is a separate issue whether this transfer credit applies to the 

student’s major at the receiving institution. 

• Be aware that remedial and developmental courses will not be 

applicable to any degree program. 

Students transferring to Owens Community College: 

Owens Community College strives to provide a smooth 

transition for students transferring in from other higher 

education institutions. The following list of recommendations 

may help those students: 

1. Students need to request an official copy of academic 

transcripts from all institutions attended, and the transcripts 

must be mailed directly to the Records Office. Academic credit 

is not posted to a student’s record until all official transcripts are 

received and evaluated by the Records Office. 

2. Students should bring a copy of academic transcripts from all 

institutions attended to their Enrollment Services appointments 

to assist in assessing academic readiness and transfer credit. 

3. Students seeking financial aid must request financial aid 

transcripts from all institutions attended, with transcripts 

mailed directly to the Financial Aid Office.

Institutional Transfer 

The Ohio Board of Regents, following the directive of the Ohio 

General Assembly, developed a statewide policy to facilitate 

transferring credits from one Ohio public college or university 

to another. Since independent colleges and universities in Ohio 

may or may not be participating in the transfer policy, students 

interested in transferring to an independent institution are 

encouraged to check with the college or university of their choice 

regarding transfer agreements. 

Transfer Module 

The Ohio Board of Regents’ Transfer and Articulation Policy 

established the Transfer Module, which is a specific subset 

of the entire set of a college or university’s general education 

requirements. The Transfer Module contains 36-40 semester 

hours (or 54-60 quarter hours) of specified course credits in 

English, mathematics, arts and humanities, social and behavioral 

sciences, natural and physical sciences and interdisciplinary 

study. 

A Transfer Module completed at one college or university will 

automatically meet the requirements of the Transfer Module at 

the receiving institution, once the student is admitted. Students 

may be required, however, to meet additional general education 

requirements that are not included in the Transfer Module. 

A Transfer Module at Owens Community College consists of 

a minimum of 36 semester hours of credit taken from each 

of the areas listed. Students will be expected to take at least 

the minimum number of course hours from each area. Hours 

beyond the required minimum may be taken from any of the 

other courses listed.

Conditions for Transfer Admission 

Students meeting the requirements of the Transfer Module are 

subject to the following conditions: 

1. The policy encourages receiving institutions to give 

preferential consideration for admission to students who 

complete the Transfer Module and either the Associate of Arts 

or the Associate of Science degree. These students will be able to 

transfer all courses in which they received a passing grade of D 

or better. Students must have an overall grade point average of 

2.0 to be given credit for the Transfer Module. 

2. The policy also encourages receiving institutions to give 

preferential consideration for admission to students who 

complete the Transfer Module with a grade C or better in each 

course and 90 quarter hours or 60 semester hours. Students 

must have an overall grade point average of 2.0 to be given 

credit for the Transfer Module and only courses in which a C or 

better has been earned will transfer. 

3. The policy encourages receiving institutions to admit on a 

non-preferential consideration basis students who complete the 

Transfer Module with a grade of C or better in each course and 

less than 90 quarter hours or 60 semester hours. These students 

will be able to transfer all courses in which they received a 

grade of C or better. Admission to a given institution, however, 

does not guarantee that a transfer student will be automatically 

admitted to all majors, minors or fields of concentration at that 

institution. Once admitted, transfer students shall be subject 

to the same regulations governing applicability of Catalog 

requirements as all other students. Transfer students will be 

given the same class standing and other privileges as native 

students on the basis of the number of credits earned. All 

residency requirements must be successfully completed at the 

receiving institution prior to granting a degree. 

Responsibilities of Student 

In order to facilitate transfer with maximum applicability of 

transfer credit, prospective transfer students should plan a course 

of study that will meet the requirements of a degree program at 

the receiving institution. Specifically, students should identify 

early in their collegiate studies an institution and major to which 

they desire to transfer. Furthermore, students should determine 

if there are language requirements or any special course 

requirements that can be met during the freshman or sophomore 

year. This will enable students to plan and pursue a course of 

study that will articulate with the receiving institution’s major. 

Students are encouraged to seek further information regarding 

transfer from both their advisor and the college or university to 

which they plan to transfer. 

Appeal Process 

A multi-level, broad-based appeal process is required to be 

in place at each institution. A student disagreeing with the 

application of transfer credit by the receiving institution shall 

be informed of the right to appeal the decision and the process 

for filing the appeal. Each institution shall make available to 

students the appeal process for that specific college or university. 

If a transfer student’s appeal is denied by the institution after 

all appeal levels within the institution have been exhausted, the 

institution shall advise the student in writing of the availability 

and process of appeal to the state-level Articulation and Transfer 

Appeal Review Committee. The Appeal Review Committee 

shall review and recommend to institutions the resolution of 

individual cases of appeal from transfer students who have 

exhausted all local appeal mechanisms concerning applicability of 

transfer credits at receiving institutions. 

Students wishing to appeal an institutional decision involving 

the application of the Ohio Board of Regents Transfer and 

Articulation Policy should refer to the Owens Community 

College Student Appeals Policy. (See page 71 for more 

information.)

will be assessed to the student account. 

Estimate of Annual Academic Expenses

Payment of Fees 

A non-refundable registration fee is assessed each semester. 

For advance registered students, full payment of tuition and 

other fees must be made by established due dates. Each semester, 

due dates are available at the Bursar’s Office. 

Students receiving financial aid are advised to carefully review the 

financial aid information provided by the Financial Aid Office. 

Compliance with the deadlines will help ensure prompt receipt 

of financial aid, less any amount due to the College. 

Owens Community College accepts payment in the form of 

cash, checks, MasterCard, VISA and DISCOVER credit cards. 

The College also accepts the above credit cards for web credit 

card payments via the Internet. A $30 collection fee plus bank 

charges are assessed for any check returned unpaid by any bank. 

The College also enters into contracts to directly bill employers 

of Owens Community College students, or other third parties, 

for tuition and fees. For more information, contact the Bursar’s 

Office. 

Deferred Payment Plan 

The Deferred Payment Plan offers eligible students the 

opportunity to defer payment of tuition and fees over a fourmonth 

period for fall and spring semesters and a one-and-a-half 

month period for summer semester. 

Tuition and fees covered by the Plan include … 

• Instructional 

• General 

• Laboratory 

• Parking fees 

Criteria of Owens Community College students eligible for the 

Plan … 

• Credible and regular source of income 

• Good credit history with Owens Community College 

• Good financial standing with Owens Community 

College (no financial hold or delinquency) 

• Good academic standing with Owens Community 

College (no academic dismissal or probation) 

A co-signer may participate in the Plan with a student who 

does not meet the eligibility requirements. Students who receive 

financial aid may also be eligible for the Deferred Payment Plan. 

A non-refundable Payment Option Fee is assessed to each 

participant each semester based on the total of tuition and fees 

deferred. 

Tuition/Fees 

Payment Option Fee 

$0 - $449.99 $15 

$450 or more $25

To apply, complete, sign and return an Application/Promissory 

Note to the Bursar’s Office with the first payment. Applications 

are available in the Financial Aid and Bursar’s offices. A $20 late 

payment charge will be assessed for each installment not paid in 

full on or before the due date. 

Refund of Fees 

Refunds of tuition and other refundable fees, less any amount 

owed, will be made on the following basis for the first four weeks 

of 16-week classes for Fall and Spring Semesters: 1 

1. Credit hours dropped prior to the beginning, or during the 

first five class days 2 , of either semester - 100% of tuition and 

fees will be refunded. 

2. Credit hours dropped during the second week (6th - 10th 

class days) of either semester - 70% of tuition and fees will be 

refunded. 

3. Credit hours dropped during the third week (11th - 15th 

class days) of either semester - 60% of tuition and fees will be 

refunded. 

4. Credit hours dropped during the fourth week 

(16th - 20th class days) of either semester - 40% of tuition and 

fees will be refunded. 

There will be no refunds of tuition and fees for students who 

drop credit hours after the fourth week of classes. 

Students should be aware that schedule changes, either adding 

or dropping credit hours, might affect fees. Students may wish 

to determine the impact on tuition, fees and financial aid before 

changing schedules. 

All students officially registered are subject to the College’s 

refund policies. To be eligible for a refund the student must 

follow the official withdrawal procedure as stated in the Policies 

and Procedures section of this Catalog. The date of withdrawal 

as processed through the Records Office will be the date used to 

determine the tuition and fees refund. Lack of attendance does 

not constitute eligibility to receive refunds. 

As part of the Higher Education Amendments of 1998, Congress 

passed new regulations governing what must happen to a 

student’s federal financial aid if the student completely withdraws 

from school in any semester. Federal law requires the College to 

calculate the amount of federal financial aid a student has earned 

if that student withdraws or stops attending before completing 

the semester. Questions regarding these regulations should be 

addressed to the Financial Aid Office. 

Interest and Fees Disclaimer 

The student will be responsible for the payment of all fees, 

interest, and expenses incurred by the school and assessed as 

permitted by state and federal regulations for any balance not 

paid as mandated by school policy and procedure. Failure to 

pay the balance, fees, interest and expenses will result in the 

student’s account being certified to the Ohio State Attorney 

General for continuing collection actions as required by the 

Ohio Revised Code. 

1 The refund policy for Summer Semester, Weekend College, 

modular and other courses that vary from the standard schedule 

of full semester courses applies the same refund percentages. 

However, the periods of time provided for refunds are adjusted 

proportionately to match that of the Fall and Spring Semesters. 

2 The term “class day” refers to any day (Monday through Sunday) 

during which Owens Community College is open for business 

and/or classes are conducted.

College Financial Aid Office is sent to the student explaining 

how to view the award information via Campus Pipeline. 

There are a variety of financial aid programs available at Owens 

Community College, including several grant programs that 

do not require repayment and low interest loan programs 

with deferred repayment schedules. Many scholarships and 

on-campus employment opportunities also are available. 

With the exception of scholarships, the financial aid programs 

are administered by the Financial Aid Office under policies 

established by federal and state governmental guidelines.

To apply for financial aid, students must: 

• Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid 

(FAFSA) as soon after January 1 as possible. You can apply 

electronically using “FAFSA on the Web” at www.fafsa.ed.gov. 

• If a loan is desired, complete the Stafford loan request form 

(available in the Financial Aid Office and at www.owens.edu). 

• Apply for admission and submit a copy of a high school 

transcript or GED to the Records Office. The certificate 

of completion does not meet the high school diploma 

requirement. 

• Students who do not have a high school diploma or GED 

should complete the College’s COMPASS test and submit a 

copy of these test scores. Minimum required scores are: 32 

– writing, 62 – reading and 25 – pre-algebra. 

It is important to respond quickly to all requests for additional 

information. 

Enrollment 

Owens Community College uses a “freeze” date each semester 

to determine a student’s enrollment status for awarding financial 

aid. The number of credit hours a student is enrolled in on the 

freeze date is used to calculate the amount of federal financial 

aid they will receive. This means that if a student adds or drops 

classes before the freeze date, the amount of financial aid they are 

eligible for will be affected. If classes are added or dropped after 

the freeze date, the financial aid will not change. The exception 

to this policy is students who withdraw and/or stop attending 

all of their classes. These students will have their financial 

aid recalculated based on their withdrawal date or last day of 

attendance. 

If a student totally withdraws or stops attending classes during 

the semester, the student could owe a refund to a grant program 

and/or impact financial aid eligibility for future aid. Additional 

information about the recalculation policy is available in the 

Financial Aid Office. 

Attendance Verification 

To be eligible for federal financial aid, attendance in class must 

be verified. Instructors will provide attendance information 

directly to the Financial Aid Office. Once attendance has been 

verified, any refund checks to which a student is entitled will be 

mailed to the student. 

Financial Aid Eligibility 

Eligibility for most financial aid programs is based on 

demonstrated financial need of the student and/or the student’s 

family and on registered credit hours. 

For federal and state financial aid programs a student must: 

• Be a citizen, national or permanent resident of the United 

States. Certain persons in process of becoming citizens or 

permanent residents also may be eligible. 

To be eligible for federal financial aid programs (Pell, FSEOG, 

Federal Work Study, Federal Perkins Loan, Federal Stafford 

Loan, Federal PLUS Loan), a student also must: 

• Be accepted by the college for admission and demonstrate the 

ability to benefit from the selected program of study. 

• Be enrolled in a degree or certain certificate programs. 

• Meet the enrollment and attendance requirements for each 

program.

Grants 

(No repayment required) – Students who have a bachelor’s 

degree are not eligible for any of the grant programs listed. 

Federal Pell Grant (PELL) – A federal program for 

undergraduate students. Eligibility is based on financial need as 

determined by the federal government. Grant amounts range 

from $400 to $4,050. A minimum of 12 credit hours is required 

to receive full eligibility with pro-rated awards given to students 

with less than 12 hours. 

Ohio Instructional Grant (OIG) – A grant to help with tuition 

costs for Ohio residents attending Ohio institutions on a fulltime 

basis (12 credit hours). The grant is based on family income 

and the number of dependent children in the household. Grant 

amounts range from $78 to $2,190. 

Part-time Ohio Instructional Grant – This grant helps with 

tuition costs for Ohio residents attending Ohio institutions on a 

part-time basis (1-11 credit hours). The grant is based on family 

income. The amount awarded is determined by the number of 

credit hours a student is enrolled for and if the student is eligible 

for the Ohio Instructional Grant program (OIG). 

Federal Supplemental Education Opportunity Grant (FSEOG) 

– A federal government supported grant for students with 

exceptional financial need. The average grant amount at Owens 

ranges from $300 to $600. The Financial Aid Office determines 

eligibility using federal government guidelines. Funds are 

awarded on a first-come, first-served basis.

37 




Loans 

(Must be repaid) 

Federal Perkins Loan – A long-term, low interest federal 

government loan based on financial need. Up to $8,000 can be 

borrowed for an associate degree. Actual amounts received are 

determined by need. Repayment of the loan, with five percent 

simple interest accruing from start of repayment, begins nine 

months after the student leaves college or becomes enrolled for 

less than six credit hours, and must be completed in 10 years. 

The Financial Aid Office determines eligibility using federal 

guidelines. Funds are awarded on a first come, first served basis. 

New borrowers must complete entrance counseling online. 

Federal Family Education Loan Programs – 

All borrowers of any Federal Family Education Loan Program 

must meet minimum Ability to Benefit criteria. New borrowers 

must complete entrance counseling online. 

Federal Stafford Loan – Many banks and credit unions provide 

educational loans under this federal loan program. Students must 

be enrolled in a minimum of six credit hours to be eligible. 

Stafford loans have a variable interest rate, adjusted each July 1, 

which uses the 90-day Treasury Bill rate as its base, and is capped 

at 8.25%. Rates as of July 1, 2003 are 2.82% during in-school, 

grace and deferment periods, and 3.42% for loans in repayment. 

Repayment begins six months after graduation or when a student 

becomes enrolled for less than six credit hours. Payments are 

based on the amount borrowed. 

Dependent students can borrow up to $2,625 for the first year 

and $3,500 the second year, up to a cumulative maximum of 

$23,000. Independent students can borrow up to $6,625 the 

first year (up to $2,625 can be subsidized) and $7,500 the second 

year (up to $3,500 can be subsidized). Independent students can 

borrow up to $46,000, of which no more than $23,000 may be 

subsidized. Students attending only one semester of the academic 

year prior to graduation will receive a prorated loan amount. 

Students enrolled in certificate programs are restricted to first 

year borrowing limits. 

There are two Stafford Loan types: 

• The Federal Subsidized Stafford Loan is a need-based loan 

for which the interest is paid by the government while the 

student is in school at least half-time. The Financial Aid Office 

determines eligibility using federal government guidelines. 

Applications are available online at www.owens.edu. 

• The Federal Unsubsidized Stafford Loan is a loan that does 

not require financial need. However, total financial aid, which 

includes the unsubsidized loan, cannot exceed the cost of 

education. Unlike the subsidized Stafford loan, interest accrues 

while the student is attending school. The Financial Aid Office 

determines eligibility using federal government guidelines. 


Federal Parent Loan (PLUS) – Parents can borrow funds to 

cover educational costs for their dependent students. Students 

must be enrolled in a minimum of 6 credit hours and meet 

the eligibility criteria outlined on the PLUS loan request form. 

Interest is adjusted annually based on the 90-day Treasury bill 

rate plus 3.1% (capped at 9%; the rate as of July 1, 2003 is 

4.22%). Repayment begins when the loan is fully disbursed, 

with the first payment generally due within 60 days. There is 

no financial need required to be eligible. However, the total 

financial aid cannot exceed the cost of education. The applicant’s 

credit history will be evaluated in determining loan eligibility.

Nurse Education Assistance Loan Program (NEALP) – NEALP 

is a state program for nursing students who, upon completion 

of their education, plan to practice nursing in the state of Ohio. 

The loan is based on financial need. A student may receive a 

maximum of $3,000 per year, which may be renewed for a 

maximum of four years or total loan balance of $12,000. 

After graduation, the student may be eligible for loan forgiveness 

at the rate of 20 percent per year and a maximum loan 

cancellation of 100 percent. Applications are available in the 

Financial Aid Office after January 1 and the deadline is June 1 

(for Fall Semester) or November 1 (for Spring Semester). Call the 

Ohio Board of Regents Grants and Scholarships Office at 1-888-

Employment 

Federal Work Study (FWS) – FWS is a federally-funded 

program of part-time employment for students with financial 

need. Work study employment of up to 20 hours a week is 

available to eligible students. However, the number of hours 

worked is determined by need. The Financial Aid Office 

determines eligibility using federal government guidelines. The 

rate of pay is generally $6 per hour and awards range from $100 

to $5,000. Various employment opportunities are available, 

including secretarial and clerical office work, lab assistance, 

library aid, childcare assistance and maintenance. Receipt of 

FWS is dependent upon securing a student worker position 

on or off campus. Eligible students must also complete an 

employment application through the J.O.B.S. Office. Funds are 

awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. 

Student Employment – Some part-time (non-work study) 

positions are available on campus. The rate of pay is $6 per hour. 

Interested students should apply for employment in the J.O.B.S. 

Office. 

Other Employment – Many other positions also are available 

off-campus. Information about these positions may be obtained 

from the J.O.B.S. Office. 

America Reads/America Counts Program – This program 

is funded by Federal Work Study funds and was designed to 

promote literacy and math competency in our nation’s young 

students. Program participants work as tutors at various offcampus 

sites such as Head Start, the YMCA and area elementary 

schools. Participants are paid and must show eligibility for 

financial aid. For more information, contact the J.O.B.S. Office.

E-LEARNING COURSES: 

Web courses and Telecourses are not self 

paced. Students must follow the course 

schedule set by the instructor.

e-Learning 

Owens Community College’s Office of e-Learning offers Web 

Courses, Telecourses and OwensLINK Videoconferencing to 

interested students. 

Web Courses 

In a web course, students access their course content and 

instructor entirely over the Internet. It is a rigorous form of 

instruction for motivated students who cannot fit traditional 

classes into their daily schedule. Web courses often require more 

time and effort than on-campus sections. Students must have 

access to a computer on which they may have to download 

and install software and be able to access the Internet at least 

three times per week. Correspondence is conducted via online 

discussion forums, chat rooms and email. Instructors may require 

students to come to one of the Owens Community College 

Testing Centers to take exams. 

Web Course Delivery Platforms 

Blackboard is the primary platform used to deliver web courses at 

Owens Community College. [URL for Blackboard is 

http://owens.cc.blackboard.com] Other platforms and Internet 

sites are also used. 

Web Course Orientation 

The e-Learning Office offers on-campus web course orientations 

each semester. Students who have never taken a web course and 

would like a general overview and introduction to the course 

interfaces should attend a session. Online orientation resources 

are also available on the e-Learning website. [URL for e- 

Learning is http://www.owens.edu/distance_ed/index.html] 

Telecourses 

Telecourses are a way for self-motivated students to take classes 

without having to come to campus on a regular basis. They 

are a complete instructional package that generally include a 

textbook(s), audio or videotapes, and a student study guide/ 

e-Learning 

syllabus. After registering for a telecourse, the instructor will 

mail the syllabus to the student’s home sometime during the 

first week of the semester. Students must follow the syllabus and 

submit all assignments on a set schedule. Students must mail or 

email the assignments to the instructor. Students also may have 

to come to one of the College’s Testing Centers or arrange for a 

proctor to take exams and quizzes. Individual instructors vary the 

requirements and approaches to their respective telecourses. 

Telecourse Orientations 

The e-Learning Office offers on-campus telecourse orientations 

each semester. Students who have never taken a telecourse and 

would like a general overview and introduction should attend a 

session. 

OwensLINK Videoconferencing 

Owens Community College has extensively utilized 

videoconferencing technology to deliver education for the past 

several years, allowing participants at different locations to 

see and hear each other. Instructors can utilize media such as 

PowerPoint presentations, videotapes and the Internet to deliver 

instruction to remote locations.

e-Learning 

Are e-Learning Courses Right for Me? 

How well would an e-Learning course fit your circumstances and learning style? 

Honestly answer the following questions, and score as directed. 

(Adapted from “Are Telecourses for Me?” as printed in The Agenda, PBS-Adult 

Learning Service, Spring, 1994. The Northern Virginia Community College 

Extended Learning Institute developed this questionnaire.) 

My need to take this course now is: 

a. High - I need to take it immediately for a specific goal. 

b. Moderate - I could take it on campus later or substitute another course. 

c. Low - It could be postponed. 

Feeling that I am part of a class is: 

a. Not particularly necessary to me. 

b. Somewhat important to me. 

c. Very important to me. 

I would classify myself as someone who: 

a. Often gets things done ahead of time. 

b. Needs reminding to get things done on time. 

c. Puts things off until the last minute or doesn’t complete them. 

Classroom discussion is: 

a. Rarely helpful to me. 

b. Sometimes helpful to me. 

c. Almost always helpful to me. 

When an instructor hands out directions for an assignment, I prefer: 

a. Figuring out the instructions myself. 

b. Trying to follow the direction on my own, then asking for help as needed. 

c. Having the instructions explained to me. 

I need faculty comments on my assignments: 

a. Within a few weeks, so I can review what I did. 

b. Within a few days, or I forget what I did. 

c. Right a way, or I get very frustrated. 

Considering my professional and personal schedule, the amount of time I have to 

work on a Distance Learning Course is: 

a. More than enough for an on campus course. 

b. The same as for a class on campus. 

c. Less than for a class on campus. 

Coming to campus on a regular schedule is: 

a. Extremely difficult for me - I have commitments (work, 

family, or personal) during times when classes are offered. 

b. A little difficult, but I can rearrange my priorities to allow 

for regular attendance on campus. 

c. Easy for me. 

Scoring Key: a. = 3 points; b. = 2 points; c. = 1 point 

20 points or more - An e-Learning course is a real possibility for you. 

11 to 20 points - e-Learning courses may work for you, but you may need to make 

a few adjustments in your schedule and study habits to succeed. 

10 or fewer points - e-Learning may not currently be the best alternative for you. 

You may want to consider taking an on-campus section of the course. 

Before registering for any class, it is always best to speak with an Enrollment 

Services Representative.

Academic Policies and Procedures 


Academic Dismissal 

A student is subject to academic dismissal if he or she has been 

on academic probation for one semester and does not achieve 

the required cumulative grade point average for the hours 

attempted during the next semester in which enrolled (see 

Academic Probation Policy on page 56). Academic dismissal 

prohibits the student from enrolling in the College for one 

semester. (Summer semester is not considered as a semester of 

prohibited enrollment unless the summer semester is required 

in the specific program of study). Students may be granted 

readmission by completing an academic plan with a counselor 

from the Office of Academic Enhancement and Counseling 

prior to the first class meeting for the semester in which they 

plan to enroll. (Students in Health Technologies Programs 

are required to have their plan submitted and approved by 

the appropriate Department Chair and the Dean of Health 

Technologies). The most appropriate time for students to 

complete this plan and select classes is two months prior to 

the beginning of the semester in which they hope to enroll. 

International Students may be granted readmission by 

completing an academic plan with the International Student 

Enrollment Administrator prior to the first class meeting 

for the semester in which they plan to enroll. (Students in 

Health Technologies Programs are required to have their plan 

submitted and approved by the appropriate Department Chair 

and the Dean of Health Technologies). 

Program Readmission/Continuation 

A student who fails required courses within a major, or fails to 

achieve the stipulated 2.0 GPA in courses within a technical 

major must meet specific program policies for readmission 

or continuation in the program. Before a student may 

continue or be readmitted into the program, an academic 

plan must be approved and on file. An academic plan is 

completed through the Office of Academic Enhancement and 

Counseling. Students should see their Department Chair or 

Dean concerning the policy for their program of study. (Also, 

see Readmission Policies and Procedures on page 64). Findlayarea 

Campus students should see the appropriate academic 

administrative personnel in the instructional office. 

Academic Forgiveness Policy 

The Academic Forgiveness Policy is a means by where, under 

certain circumstances, a student’s grade point average can be 

adjusted. Specifically, if a student changes from one technology 

program to another or has not been enrolled at Owens for a 

number of years, the student may be eligible for application 

of this policy. Academic forgiveness can be applied once. 

However, once the policy is applied, it is irrevocable and cannot 

be appealed (The student may not apply both policies that 

follow). The student should initiate the petition for academic 

forgiveness. (A form is available in the College’s Records Office 

and Academic Division Offices.) The program’s Department 

Chair will assist the student in preparing the petition. Approval 

of the Division Dean will be required as part of the petitioning 

process. A final decision on the petition will be given in writing 

to the student within 30 days of the filing of the petition, 

with a copy of the decision placed in the student’s permanent 

record in the Records Office. Students planning to transfer to 

other colleges and universities should be aware that receiving 

institution policies may dictate that all grades earned will be 

used in computing GPA for admission and other purposes. The 

forgiveness policy must be applied for and completed prior to 

graduation. 

Grade Point Adjustment with Program Change 

Students who change from one program of study to another 

may be eligible to petition to have certain grades, earned in 

their earlier program, dropped from their grade point average 

computation. (“General Studies” is not a program and cannot 

be used to make a change.) Moreover, students who change 

from one program of study to another, while on probation, will

55 




not be subject to academic dismissal provided they achieve a 

2.0 GPA each semester in their new program of study. The 2.0 

GPA required excludes developmental education coursework. 

A change from one Arts and Science concentration to another 

does not constitute a program of study change. Students who 

have changed programs may, upon completion of 75 percent of 

the coursework in the new associate degree program, petition 

to have all grades and honor points in courses, which are not 

applicable to their new program, removed from the calculation 

of the new cumulative grade point average. The student’s 

permanent record will indicate performance in all previously 

attempted coursework. Courses in developmental education 

are not eligible for this consideration. Excess Arts and Science 

coursework hours not required for meeting program general 

education requirements may be deleted at the student’s option. 

Once hours are deleted from inclusion in the student’s grade 

point computation, they may not be reinstated at any time in 

the future. This policy does not apply to students who graduate 

in one associate degree program and then enter a new program 

and does not include the completion of certificates. 

Grade Point Adjustment Following Readmission to 

College 

Many students returning to Owens Community College after 

years of absence wish to make a “fresh start” upon 

readmission to the College, however, poor prior academic 

performance or certain types of program changes burden 

them. This component of the Academic Forgiveness Policy 

recognizes that people’s lives change and conditions that 

resulted in unsatisfactory grades may no longer exist. The 

policy, therefore, is designed as a once-only opportunity to have 

low grades previously earned dropped from grade point average 

computation. 

Students who have not enrolled at Owens Community College 

for three or more calendar years, and who complete the required 

readmission process, may petition to have grades deleted from 

grade point computation for the following – and only the 

following – courses: 

1. All courses where grades of D, F or FNC were earned. 

2. Courses that are no longer in a program, regardless of grade 

achieved. 

3. Courses previously taken which are out-of-date. Students 

may petition to have grades forgiven after completing a 

minimum of 12 semester hours of credit, at a grade point 

average of 2.0 or better, following readmission to the 

College. The policy applies only to courses taken prior 

to readmission and may not be applied once an Ohio 

Board of Regents approved degree is given. Credit earned 

previously at Owens Community College (or Owens 

Technical College) for which the policy does not apply will 

be carried over at time of re-entry to the College. 

All courses and grades will remain on a student’s academic 

transcript. However, courses dropped from grade point 

computation will have the notation, “Academic Forgiveness 

Applied”. Once the policy is applied, it is irrevocable and 

cannot be appealed. Course credits previously earned at the 

D level will be forfeited and can no longer be used to meet 

degree requirements. Furthermore, students are not eligible 

to complete a proficiency examination to meet the degree 

requirement for forfeited courses. 

The policy is applicable only to the first academic degree and, 

as noted above, may not be applied following the awarding of 

a degree. However, it may be applied following the awarding 

of certificates, but can never include courses used to meet 

certificate requirements.

Students enrolled in selective health programs must abide by 

their respective program policies regarding readmission. 

Academic Honors 

The Academic Honors List is compiled at the end of each 

semester and includes students who have earned a grade 

point average of 3.5 or higher while attempting three or more 

semester hours of credit. The student will receive a letter of 

congratulations from the Provost. Honors also are noted on a 

student’s transcript. To graduate with Honors, a final grade point 

average of 3.5 must be attained. The following classifications are 

posted on honor graduate diplomas: 3.5-3.79 Honors, 3.8-3.9 

High Honors and 3.91-4.0 Highest Honors. 

Academic Probation 

Academic probation status serves as official notification that a 

student is not making acceptable progress toward graduation. 

Continuation of academic probation for a second semester 

may result in academic dismissal. A student will be placed on 

academic probation status if the student’s cumulative grade point 

average falls below the established minimum as stipulated below. 

GPA Hours Cumulative Grade 

Attempted Point Average 

10-19 1.50 

20-29 1.60 

30-39 1.70 

40-49 1.85 

50-59 1.95 

60 or above 2.00 

[Notification of academic probation is provided on grade report 

forms and also through a letter of notification.] 

Academic probation may require a student to reduce course 

load, as determined by the Chair of the major area of study or a 

counselor. Students placed on academic probation are strongly 

encouraged to schedule an appointment with a counselor to 

develop a plan for resolving academic problems. 

Adding a Second Major 

Students may enroll in more than one program of study at the 

same time, but must meet all requirements for both programs 

and majors. If there are technical electives in either of the 

majors, the electives must be different. That is, the courses 

from one major cannot meet technical elective requirements 

in both majors. Students pursuing more than one major must 

officially declare their intent by completing the appropriate form 

in the Records Office. This must be done prior to beginning 

coursework on the second major. Owens Findlay-area Campus 

students may obtain and return the form to the Records Office. 

Adding Courses 

A course may be added through 10-calendar days into a semester 

with the approval of the advisor. Additions or late registrations 

made on the 11th -15th calendar day must have the written 

permission of the instructor. After the fifteenth calendar day, no 

registrations or additions may be made. For courses which are 

less than a full semester and/or start after the beginning of the 

term, the add date will be adjusted accordingly. 

After the 15th calendar day, a student may change sections of a 

course, if a situation occurs that is determined to be beyond the 

student’s control, permission of the new instructor is achieved. 

Age of Coursework Policy 

In situations where coursework is six-years old or older or where 

required skills may have been lost, transfer credit will not be 

accepted (see specific programs as age of coursework accepted 

may vary, especially health programs). Courses submitted for 

acceptance regarding program requirements will be subject to

57 




review and approval by the Department Chair. Those courses 

reviewed which do not substantially meet current requirements 

and standards will not be approved for credit. Courses will be 

aged from the date of course completion. (Also see Graduation 

Requirements) 

Articulation Agreements with Schools 

Owens Community College has established articulation 

agreements with many area secondary schools. Advanced 

placement credit may be given for vocational graduates who have 

acquired a sufficient level of knowledge and demonstrated skills 

required in a technology program. Students who are interested in 

a waiver of credit through articulation should obtain information 

on opportunities and requirements, as well as an application 

through their high school guidance office, the College’s 

Enrollment Services Office or the Records Office. 

Assessment Policy 

Assessment determines the level of academic, personal and social 

readiness needed for a student to be successful in college. This 

policy supports the process of evaluating students’ academic 

skills for proper course placement. The information obtained 

during the assessment process is crucial to the proper advisement 

of students in course selection, which provides educational 

experiences that strengthen and enhance current levels of 

competence. 

Owens Community College recognizes that some students may 

enter the College with academic experiences, test results and 

educational goals that exclude them from assessment testing. 

The following waiver policy details the only cases for a student 

assessment test waiver: 

COMPASS Waiver Policy

- College Composition score of 47; English Composition score 

of 650 (4/80-4/86) or a score of 540 (5/86 to present); College 

Algebra-Trigonometry score of 45. Advanced Placement test 

scores from high schools may waive COMPASS. 

College Transfer Applicant 

COMPASS - COMPASS from Owens/other college over two 

years old is not accepted for waiver. 

CLEP - College Composition score of 47; English Composition 

score of 650 (4/80-4/86), 540 (5/86-present); 

College Algebra -Trigonometry score of 45.

Mandatory Placement and Completion 

All new students, full- or part-time, who plan to receive a degree 

or certificate or college federal financial aid, must attend an 

Assessment Information Program or meet the COMPASS waiver 

policy. The COMPASS testing program is part of the enrollment 

services process. It assesses reading, language usage and math. 

The COMPASS assessment scores are used to advise and register 

students in classes suited to their academic achievement and 

skill level in an effort to help ensure their academic success. 

Should the COMPASS results indicate that a student needs 

developmental courses in reading, writing or mathematics, 

satisfactory completion of developmental coursework is required 

before a student will be allowed to register for a college-level 

composition or mathematics course. 

Auditing Courses 

Students sometimes wish to audit a course. To audit means to 

enroll for a course for some reason other than to receive a course 

grade and credit. An audited course will be noted as “AU” on a 

student’s transcript. For further information, contact Office of 

Enrollment Services. An audit status must be indicated on the 

registration form and filed in the Records Office at the time of 

registration. Auditing a course does not create a waiver for any 

fee assessed. An audit must be declared by the first week of class. 

Cancelled Classes 

See Withdrawal of Course from Schedule. 

Catalog of Record 

A student’s program requirements are those found in the 

program of instruction section of the College Catalog that was 

current at the time of initial enrollment at Owens Community 

College. If a student withdraws from the program and later reenters, 

the program requirements in the Catalog current at the 

time of re-entry are in effect. If a student changes programs, 

the requirements in the Catalog current at the time of the 

change are in effect. All current academic and general policies 

and procedures are published in the Catalog. Since students are 

expected to know and follow all current policies and procedures, 

every student is encouraged to obtain a current Catalog each 

year. Students taking classes while awaiting commencement into 

selective health programs must abide by their program policies 

regarding catalog of record. 

Change of Program/Major 

If a student wishes to change his/her program, he/she should 

meet with the appropriate Chair and/or with a representative 

from the Office of Academic Enhancement and Counseling to 

discuss the new program selection. A Change of Major Form 

must be completed and can be obtained in the Records Office on 

either campus. 

Cheating and Plagiarism 

Dishonest scholarly practices include, but are not limited to 

taking, using or copying another’s work and submitting it 

as one’s own, intentionally falsifying information or taking 

another’s ideas with the intention of passing these ideas as one’s 

own. A judgment regarding the dishonest scholarly practice 

should, in most cases, be made by the individual instructor. 

The basic criterion that will be used to judge the dishonest 

scholarly practice is the intention of the student to enhance his/ 

her own position within the class by employing a dishonest or 

unacceptable scholarly practice. A few examples include, but are 

not limited to: 

1. Work copied verbatim from an original author without 

proper credit; 

2. Work copied with only a few words altered from the 

original without proper credit being given;

59 




3. Answers copied from another’s test paper; 

4. Evidence of a deliberate and calculated plan to engage 

in a dishonest academic practice, such as gaining access to 

examinations prior to the exam time or the extraction of 

information regarding an examination from other students; 

and 

5. Falsification of clinical records. 

Consequences for proven cases of dishonest scholarly practices 

are as follows: 

1. The first offense will result in an equivalent grade of “F” 

being given for the particular test, project or paper on which the 

cheating has occurred. The instructor may require the student 

to demonstrate mastery of the objectives for the particular test, 

project or paper or the grade will remain an “F”. 

2. The second offense (two total offenses, not necessarily in one 

course) will result in the student being assigned a failing grade 

for the course in which the second offense occurred. 

3. Any student involved in three total offenses (not necessarily 

in one course) will immediately be dismissed from the 

College for one full academic semester. Upon readmission, a 

student that had been dismissed for dishonest practices will 

be immediately dismissed upon any subsequent single offense 

involving a dishonest academic practice. 

It is recognized by the College that the prime responsibility 

for academic honesty is the individual student. However, the 

instructor must create a learning environment that discourages 

cheating and encourages honest scholarship. If a student feels 

that he/she has been wrongly accused, appeal procedures exist. 

The penalty for a proven case of dishonest scholarly practice 

will stand through appeal. If the appeal ruling is in favor of the 

student, the following will apply: 

1. For the first offense, the test, project or paper will be graded 

on the criteria for that assignment. 

2. For the second offense, the student’s grade will be evaluated 

based on the criteria for the course. 

3. For the third offense, the student will be reinstated to the 

College without penalty. 

The instructor shall report all incidents of dishonest academic 

practice to the appropriate Dean and Department Chair. All 

reports of incidents of dishonest academic practice shall be 

maintained in the student’s permanent file in the Records Office 

until the student graduates. The student will be notified in 

writing by the Dean of the consequences and has the right to 

appeal. The Dean shall see that appropriate action is taken and 

notify the instructor and Chair of the action taken. 

Course Substitution 

Under special circumstances, students may request the 

substitution of a different course for a required course within an 

academic program. Substitutions are usually initiated through 

the advising process with the student’s academic advisor and/or 

Department Chair. Courses considered for substitution are 

of similar classification to the required course. For example, 

one technical course may be substituted for another technical 

course or one general education requirement for another. All 

general education requirements in communications, social 

and behavioral sciences, and humanities must still be met 

(see “General Education Requirements” on page 11). A form 

requesting approval of the substitution is required and is initiated 

with the Chair of the student’s major academic program. In 

situations where students are requesting the substitution of 

a different course for a course that was previously attempted 

and failed, the grade received by the student in the substituted

substitution should not be considered “approved” until the 

student receives a copy of the substitution form with all required 

signatures. 

Credit By Proficiency Exam 

A proficiency is an examination designed to measure the 

student’s level of knowledge and/or skill in the content covered 

by a given course or courses. Passing a proficiency examination 

replaces the need for a student to actually register for and 

complete a course or courses in a program. As long as a student 

has met the College’s graduation residency requirement, there is 

no limit placed upon the number of credit hours a student may 

obtain via proficiency examinations. The following experiences 

are representative of those that may prepare a student to 

successfully complete a proficiency examination: 

1. The student has had extensive high school work above the 

normal curriculum, which would make certain basic courses 

repetitious. 

2. The student has, through actual work experience, attained 

the knowledge and competency of skills required in certain 

courses. 

3. The student has taken coursework at another institution of 

post-secondary education which is not transferable, but has 

given him/her sufficient background to make certain courses 

repetitious. 

4. The student has completed coursework in an apprenticeship 

or vocational program. 

5. The student has completed studies in a civil or military 

training program. 

Course Proficiency Examinations 

The College’s academic faculty has prepared proficiency 

examinations for many courses offered within their respective 

departments and programs. These examinations may be oral 

or written and may, in certain circumstances, require the 

demonstration of laboratory skills. A proficiency examination 

may be attempted only one time per course. Students enrolled in 

courses beyond the designated drop date(s) cannot petition for 

proficiency exams in those courses. If a student has completed a 

course by regular enrollment and received a grade (A, B, C, D, 

F, I, P/NC, or F/NC), they are not eligible to take a proficiency 

examination for that course. Moreover, a student’s failure of the 

first course in a sequence forfeits their right to take proficiency 

examinations for subsequent courses in the sequence. Students 

also should note that locally developed and administered 

proficiency tests, such as the College’s proficiency examinations, 

provide credit at the local institution, but may not be transferable 

to other colleges. 

To be eligible for proficiency examinations, a prospective 

student must have completed all Enrollment Services application 

steps and be eligible for registration. A picture identification is 

required of all students at the time a proficiency examination is 

administered. All proficiency examinations are administered by a 

full-time employee of the College and must be completed within 

two weeks of proficiency application date. 

For more information regarding application procedures and 

courses available for proficiency, please contact the Office of 

Enrollment Services. 

College Level Examination Program (CLEP) 

Owens Community College participates in the National CLEP 

testing program for credit by proficiency, accepting CLEP results. 

CLEP test results are accepted for course credit by several colleges 

and universities throughout the nation. Credit may be awarded

61 




for one or more courses through CLEP scores, but at least 50 

percent of a degree program must be taken through actual 

coursework at Owens Community College. A listing of CLEP 

tests and minimum cut-off scores accepted by Owens is available 

through the Records Office on the Toledo-area Campus. 

Advanced Placement Examination (AP) 

AP examinations are given to high school students who have 

excelled in advanced level high school courses. The AP test 

determines whether a student has sufficiently mastered course 

content to warrant receiving college credit for work completed 

in high school. Owens Community College does not administer 

the test. Students interested in taking the AP test should speak 

with their high school guidance counselor. Owens Community 

College will award advanced placement credit based on 

individual test results. Students wishing to have results evaluated 

should inquire at the Records Office on either campus. 

Credit By Transfer 

Transfer credit constitutes academic credit given for courses 

taken at another accredited institution of higher education. To 

receive credit for a course or courses taken at another institution, 

a student must submit an official copy of his/her transcript 

from the institution to the Records Office. Credits accepted are 

determined by the Owens Community College Coordinator 

of Transfer Evaluations with the assistance of the Department 

Chair. Only those courses with a grade of “C” or higher will be 

considered for transfer. The credit hours of the course or courses 

earned by transfer will be recorded on the student’s transcript 

in the total credit hours earned. However, transfer credit hours 

will not be included in the calculation of the student’s total 

cumulative GPA. 

Students who have completed an Ohio Board of Regents 

approved transfer module at another Ohio college or university 

will be able to transfer that module in total according to the 

guidelines on page 28 of this Catalog. Student who transfer to 

Owens Community College must meet residency requirements 

for graduation and must meet all other degree requirements. 

Students may appeal for reconsideration of decisions determined 

by the above policies. 

Work Experience Waiver – Work Experience Waiver is 

relinquishing the requirements of a particular course on the basis 

of previous work experience. Within each academic division it 

will be determined which course may be waived. The procedure 

for waiving courses will follow established College procedures. 

(See Department Chair or Dean for specific procedures.) The 

maximum number of credit hours that may be waived, by virtue 

of work experience, is nine credit hours except in pre-approved 

programs such as LPN/ADN, Associate of Technical Studies 

(Type B) and Law Enforcement. When courses are waived, no 

additional coursework will be required in lieu of those courses 

waived. Coursework, which has been waived, will be noted in the 

student’s permanent record by course number and the notation 

“waived”. A fee is assessed for each course waived. 

Dropping a Course 

A course may be dropped for academic reasons no later than 

the end of the ninth week of the academic semester. A course 

may be dropped for non-academic reasons after the end of the 

ninth week only for a problem of serious nature over which the 

student has no control. In this event, written documentation 

of the problem will be required. Approval of the request is 

made by the appropriate Dean. For courses, which are less than 

a full semester, the drop date will be adjusted accordingly. In 

order to officially withdraw from a course or courses, a student 

must follow the College’s procedures for dropping a course. If 

a student does not follow these procedures, the student will be 

held financially and academically responsible. Add/Drop forms 

are available in the Records Office on the Toledo-area Campus 

and in the Records Office on the Findlay-area Campus, as well

as in Enrollment Services on both campuses. The form should 

be completed and signed by the student advisor or Chair, Dean 

or by a representative in the Office of Academic Enhancement & 

Counseling and returned to the Records Office. 

Dual Degrees 

Students are eligible to receive only one degree within a 

technology or program. A student’s major or majors are listed 

on the student’s transcripts. If a graduate returns at a later date 

and completes a second major within the same technology area 

in which the student previously had received a degree, that 

student will then, at the time of graduation, receive a letter of 

commendation for the accomplishment, rather than receiving a 

second diploma. A student completing a degree simultaneously 

in another program area must meet requirements for both 

degrees. (See Adding a Second Major) 

Enrollment Status 

Enrollment status is determined by the official number of credit 

hours in which a student is enrolled each semester. Enrollment 

status often is used to help determine eligibility for financial 

aid, veterans’ benefits, company and agency funding or other 

purposes. Students are responsible for knowing their enrollment 

status and understanding the impact of changing credit hours by 

the add/drop process. 

Full-Time Enrollment: 12 or more credit hours 

Three-Quarter Time Enrollment: 9-10-11 credit hours 

Half-Time Enrollment: 6-7-8 credit hours 

Less Than Half-Time Enrollment: 5 or less credit hours 

Grade Disputes and Appeals 

Grade cards are mailed at the end of each semester. Students 

have one semester in which to dispute/appeal an academic grade 

received (see Student Appeals Process on page 71). 

Grade Point Average Calculation 

The cumulative grade point average is computed by dividing the 

total number of quality points earned by the number of semester 

hours attempted. For example: 

Attempted Grade/Credit Hrs. Quality Points 

4 x A/4 points = 16 

3 x B/3 points = 9 

4 x C/2 points = 8 

4 x D/1 point = 4 

3 x F/0 points = 0 

GPA = Quality points/Hours attempted 2.06 GPA = 37/18 

Grading System 

The following system will be used by the faculty in evaluating 

student achievement: 

Quality of Grade Point 

Grade Achievement Values 

A Superior 4.0 

B Good 3.0 

C Passing 2.0 

D Poor but passing 1.0 

F Failure 0.0 

I Incomplete 0.0 

WD Withdrawal 0.0 

AU Audit of course 0.0 

P/NP Passing Grade 0.0 

(no effect on cumulative average) 

F/NC 0.0 

Failing Grade (no effect on cumulative average) 

PR 1 Progress 0.0 

Grade reports will be mailed to the student’s home address at the 

close of each semester.

Graduation Requirements 

Students are eligible to become candidates for the associate 

degree when they have completed the following requirements: 

• All required and elective courses in the program of study 

have been completed. 

• A minimum overall cumulative grade point average of 2.0 

has been maintained. 

• In technical programs of study leading to the Associate of 

Applied Science and Associate of Applied Business degrees, a 

minimum grade point average of 2.0 in technical coursework 

must have been completed. 

• Degree requirements must have been completed within a sixyear 

period. (Coursework over six-years old will be subject to 

review and acceptance by the Department Chair and Division 

Dean. Guidelines established by specific programs will 

supersede the six-year time limit.) 

• 20 semester hours of study within the program must have 

been completed through graded course credit earned at Owens 

Community College. Additionally, in technical programs of 

study, 50 percent of required technical courses must have been 

taken at Owens Community College through graded course 

credit. 

• Complete the application for graduation as described below. 

Application for Graduation 

1. Prior to the designated advising dates during the semester 

before graduating, a graduation application should be obtained 

from the Records Office on either the Toledo-area or Findlayarea 

Campus. 

2. An application fee of $10 should be paid to the Bursar’s 

Office or $20 if application is made during the semester of 

graduation. 

Students are strongly advised to obtain a degree audit from the 

Records Office prior to the beginning of the semester preceding 

commencement. (Students should refer to their degree program 

for additional graduation requirements). 

Certificate Requirements 

A certificate is awarded upon successful completion of the 

required courses in a certificate program. The student must 

have maintained a grade point average of 2.0 in the certificate 

program. A grade point average of 2.0 is required in the technical 

courses of all technical certificate programs. At least half the 

requirements for the completion of a certificate program must be 

met through graded coursework at Owens Community College. 

To become a candidate for a certificate, a student must file an 

application one semester prior to completion of the program and 

submit a $5 fee. 

1 To be used only for MTH 100, ENG 100, ENG 101, ENG 104 

and ENG 105 (No effect on cumulative average. Indicates regular 

attendance and performance above “F” level but insufficient 

progress for P/NP or Incomplete. Course needs to be repeated.)

Incompletes 

The grade of “incomplete” is granted by a course instructor to 

a student who has extenuating circumstances for not taking the 

final examination or meeting some other definite requirement 

in the course. After a student completes the course to the 

satisfaction of the instructor, the “I” grade is removed and a 

grade is substituted. Unless an extension of time is granted by the 

appropriate instructor, an “I” grade must be made up before the 

end of the next semester or the “I” may be subject to change to a 

grade of “F”. 

Prerequisites and Corequisites 

Courses specified in this Catalog as “corequisites” are courses 

that should be taken either with or prior to the course requiring 

the co-requisite. “Prerequisites” are course requirements that 

must be met prior to the beginning of the course requiring the 

prerequisite. Students are not encouraged to attempt to enroll 

in a course whose co/prerequisites have not been met. However, 

in specific and limited situations, a student may seek permission 

to enroll in a course without having taken its co/prerequisite. 

Permission must be granted by both the course instructor and 

the Department Chair in which the course is offered. Students 

must submit a request form, which is available in Academic 

Division offices. Due to accreditation standards, this procedure 

may not apply to any technical courses offered by the Health 

Technologies Division. Students completing a degree program 

will have to complete all course requirements including co/ 

prerequisites. If applicable, students may take proficiency tests 

for co/prerequisite courses when available. 

Readmission 

All students desiring readmission to the College may go to the 

Records Office on the Toledo-area or Findlay-area campuses and 

request that their file be reactivated. Those students desiring 

readmission after dismissal for academic reasons, must contact 

the Office of Academic Enhancement & Counseling to assist 

in the development of a required written academic plan (Form 

number ID-A#1,2/84) to resolve the academic problem. This 

plan must have the approval of the appropriate Program Chair 

and Dean. 

Students returning via readmission will re-enter the program 

under the current Catalog. Information on readmission to 

selective admission programs is found with the description of 

each program in the Programs of Instruction section of the 

College Catalog. 

Registration 

Currently enrolled students are given an opportunity to register 

early for best class selection during advance registration each 

semester. Students are notified of this procedure by mail. Owens 

Community College provides continuous registration following 

advance registration through the beginning of classes. 

New students should contact the Enrollment Services Office 

on the Toledo-area Campus or Findlay-area Campus for an 

appointment. Returning students and currently enrolled students 

who do not register during advance registration should contact 

an Enrollment Services Representative to complete the advising 

process prior to registration. Students are advised to complete 

their registration as early as possible due to greater availability of 

open class sections. 

Open registration is held prior to the beginning of each semester. 

Since late entrance is a hindrance to academic success, each 

student is encouraged to register for classes during the regular 

registration period. Students may register for classes eight class 

days into the semester with approval of an advisor. This is 

adjusted for less than 16-week courses. Late registration is not 

encouraged.

65 




Repeating Courses 

A student may repeat any course three times regardless of the 

previous grade received. However, students enrolled in selective 

health programs must abide by their respective program policies 

regarding the repeating of technical courses. Before a student 

will be allowed to repeat a course for the third time, he/she must 

meet with a Student Services Representative to complete an 

academic plan for remediation. This plan must be reviewed and 

approved by the appropriate Chair. In addition, both the staff 

representative and Chair will monitor the student’s progress if 

allowed to take the course a fourth time. In addition, one full 

academic term must elapse between registrations for the third 

and fourth repetition of a course. 

Only hours attempted and the grade earned in the repeated 

course will be used in calculating the grade point average, even if 

the grade earned in the repeated course is lower than the original 

grade. The original course(s) and grade(s) and all repeated 

course(s) and grade(s) will remain on the official transcript 

of the student. A student must repeat all courses required for 

graduation in which a failing grade has been received. Courses 

designated as electives, but used to fulfill the graduation 

requirements, also must be repeated if failed. Alternate courses 

may fulfill the elective requirement; however, the original course 

grade will continue to be computed in the grade point average 

unless it specifically is repeated. 

Any student planning to transfer to another institution should 

be aware of that institution’s policies concerning repetition of 

courses. The limit, on the total number of times a student is 

permitted to take a course, is four. A withdrawal is not counted 

as a repeat. Repeating courses may affect a student’s eligibility 

for financial aid. Students on financial aid should contact the 

Financial Aid Office for definitive information on requirements 

and restrictions. 

Transcript Request 

Transcript requests must be made at the Records Office on 

the Toledo-area or Findlay-area campuses. A student will be 

required to sign a release of academic records before a copy of 

a transcript is released. (A request in writing will suffice as the 

release.) An official transcript of a student’s record is issued only 

for transferring credits to other colleges and universities and 

for the information of certifying agencies and employers. An 

official transcript is not issued directly to the student. However, 

a student may obtain a copy of the transcript stamped “Issued 

to Student”. This type of transcript is not accepted as official by 

other institutions. There is no charge for a transcript. Processing 

usually takes two business days for official transcripts. Student 

copies can be obtained immediately during regular business 

hours. 

Guest Student 

A student who is enrolled at another institution of higher 

learning may wish to take a particular course or courses at Owens 

Community College for transfer back to their home (degree 

granting) institution. Prior approval of the transfer should be 

obtained from the home institution before enrolling at Owens 

Community College. When the approved credits have been 

earned, the Records Office will send the student’s transcript to 

another institution only at the student’s request. For further 

information, contact the Records Office on the Toledo-area 

Campus.

Withdrawal from the College 

A student who desires to withdraw from the College during the 

semester must complete and submit a withdrawal form, obtained 

from the Records Office on the Toledo-area or Findlay-area 

Campus. Failure to withdraw will result in a grade of “F” for 

each course and no fees will be refunded. Withdrawal from the 

College for academic reasons may be requested no later than 

the end of the ninth week of the semester. Withdrawal from the 

College for non-academic reasons only may occur after the ninth 

week for a problem causing the withdrawal of serious nature 

over which the student has no control. In this event written 

documentation of the problem causing the withdrawal will be 

required. Medical withdrawal forms are available in academic 

division offices. Documentation should be submitted to the 

appropriate Dean of the student’s technology for review and 

approval. Students failing to follow these procedures will be 

held financially responsible. (See Refund Schedule on page 33) 

If a student withdraws from a program and later re-enters that 

program, the student will re-enter the program under the current 

Catalog.

The College makes every reasonable effort to offer courses as 

announced, but it reserves the right to withdraw a course from 

the schedule if it regards the enrollment to be insufficient or if 

there are other significant factors present preventing the course 

offering. The College will notify the student of the cancelled 

class, but it is the student’s responsibility to replace the class on 

their schedule. College advisors are available to assist students in 

this process.

Affirmative Action/Non Discrimination 

The continued success of our institution depends heavily on full 

and effective utilization and education of qualified individuals, 

regardless of sex, race, color, national origin or disability. It is 

the policy of the Board of Trustees that equal employment and 

equal admission opportunity shall be afforded all such qualified 

persons. Further, it is our policy to support and abide by all legal 

requirements assuring non-discrimination in employment and 

admission for all qualified persons without regard to sex, race, 

color, national origin or disability. 

This policy is applicable to all matters related to recruitment 

and admission of students and employment matters such 

as recruitment, hiring, upgrading and promotion, staff 

development, transferring, layoffs and recall, demotion and 

termination of employment. It also applies to employee 

compensation and benefits, participation in college-sponsored 

education or training, tuition assistance or College recreational 

programs and to all student services and activities. Further, 

all curriculum and course offerings and matters pertaining 

to student environment and governance will continue to be 

evaluated for compliance with relevant regulations. In July 1975, 

the Affirmative Action Office was created and, since that time, 

official policies and procedures have been developed to ensure 

compliance with relevant regulations. Inquiries concerning Title 

VII, Title IX, Section 504 and other matters pertaining to any 

type of perceived discrimination may be referred there. The office 

is associated with the Office of the President and is located in the 

Human Resources Office.

Harassment 

Owens Community College does not and will not tolerate 

harassment of our employees, applicants for employment or our 

students on the basis of race, color, sex, religion, national origin, 

age or disability. The College recognizes the adverse impact of 

harassment and recognizes that those who may be harassed may 

personally suffer adverse effects. All employees, applicants for 

employment and students are entitled to an environment free 

from all forms of unlawful discrimination and harassment. This 

policy demonstrates the College’s commitment to addressing 

these concerns. 

Sexual harassment is a form of illegal sex discrimination. Sexual 

harassment is defined as unwelcome sexual advances, requests 

for sexual favors and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual 

nature when: 

1. Submission to such conduct is made either explicitly or 

implicitly a term or condition of a decision or action; or 

2. Submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individual is 

used as the basis for decisions affecting such individual; or 

3. Such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably 

interfering with an individual’s performance or creating an 

intimidating, hostile or offensive teaching/learning and work 

environment. 

Specific examples of behavior, which may constitute sexual 

harassment, include: 

1. Deliberate, unsolicited sexually oriented comments or 

gestures; 

2. Display of offensive sexually oriented graphic materials; 

3. Physical contact such as patting, pinching or frequent 

brushing against another’s body; and

69 



4. Demands for sexual favors with implied promises of 

preferential treatment or threats. 

Harassment based on race, color, religion, national origin, age or 

disability also are forms of illegal discrimination. Any student 

who believes he/she is being harassed: 

1. Should not assume the College is aware of the problem. 

2. Should confront the person and request the conduct cease 

and immediately report the problem to the Department Chair. 

3. If the problem is still not resolved, take the complaint 

through the Student Appeals Process. 

4. If any of these actions are not desirable, appropriate or 

possible, file a complaint with the Affirmative Action Office in 

the Office of Human Resources. 

A student who files a complaint or participates in investigations 

shall be protected from any form of retaliation arising out of 

the filing of the complaint or participation in the investigation. 

Anyone who impedes an investigation, covers up the truth or 

retaliates against a complainant shall be subject to disciplinary 

action up to and including dismissal. 

All complaints will be investigated in a timely and responsible 

manner. Confidentiality of all information obtained during the 

investigation will be protected as much as possible, to the extent 

the investigation is not compromised. All witnesses and those 

interviewed during the investigation are expected to treat the 

matter as confidential. Harassment by any person will result in 

disciplinary action up to and including dismissal. If evidence 

supports a finding that a charge of harassment is false, the person 

responsible for bringing the false charge shall be subject to 

disciplinary action up to and including dismissal. 

Lost Items 

Students are encouraged to label their property for identification 

(especially textbooks) and follow common sense practices 

regarding that property. 


Lost or stolen property should be reported in person to Campus 

Safety and Security or the Administrative Office. 

Toledo-area Campus 

Lost or stolen property should be reported in person to College 

Safety and Security. Lost and found articles also are kept for 30 

days. A photo ID is required to claim lost items. 

Reciprocity-Monroe County Residents 

The reciprocity agreement between Owens Community College 

and Monroe County Community College enables Monroe 

County residents to attend Owens Community College at the 

in-state fee rate instead of being charged the higher out-of-state 

tuition surcharge. The same applies to Ohio residents at Monroe 

County Community College. All Monroe County residents 

attending Owens Community College must apply for reciprocity 

in order to be eligible to participate. Not all programs are eligible 

for reciprocity. An explanatory brochure and an application for 

reciprocity are available from the Enrollment Services and the 

Records offices. The latest list of eligible programs is maintained 

on the back of the application for reciprocity. Students from 

Monroe County who wish to enroll at Owens Community 

College in programs that are not offered at Monroe County 

Community College, will pay Ohio resident fees. The same 

stipulation applies to Ohio residents enrolling at Monroe 

County Community College. Applications are available in the 

Records Office. Questions on reciprocity can be directed to 

the Enrollment Services Office at Owens Community College, 

or Monroe County residents may contact Monroe County 

Community College at (734) 242-7300.

Residency Determination 

The residency status of each student is determined during the 

admissions process, based upon the information available to 

make that particular decision. Tuition surcharges to the student 

and the College’s subsidy payments are based upon that decision. 

This decision is revocable, but the student must appeal through 

the residency review process. Petitions and information are 

available in the Records Office on the Toledo-area or Findlayarea 

campuses. This petition must be submitted prior to the 

beginning of classes for the semester being petitioned. The 

definitions and rules used by all Ohio educational institutions 

are contained within the document entitled Ohio Board of 

Regents 3333-1-10, generically known as Rule 10. The following 

is part of Section C of Rule 10: The following persons shall be 

classified as residents of the State of Ohio for subsidy and tuition 

surcharge purposes:

2. A person who has been a resident of Ohio for the purpose 

of this rule for at least 12 consecutive months immediately 

preceding his/her enrollment in an institution of higher 

education and who is not receiving, and has not directly or 

indirectly received in the preceding 12 consecutive months, 

financial support from persons or entities who are not residents 

of Ohio for all other legal purposes. 

3. A dependent child of a parent or legal guardian, or the spouse 

of a person, who, as of the first day of enrollment, has accepted 

full-time, self-sustaining employment and established domicile 

in the State of Ohio for reasons other than gaining the benefit 

of favorable tuition rates. 

4. A person who is living and is gainfully employed on a fulltime 

or part-time and self-sustaining basis in Ohio and who is 

pursuing a part-time program of instruction at an institution 

of higher education shall be considered a resident of Ohio for 

these purposes. 

5. A person who enters and currently remains upon active duty 

status in the United States military service while a resident of 

Ohio for all other legal purposes and his/her dependents shall 

be considered residents of Ohio for these purposes as long as 

Ohio remains the state of such person’s domicile. 

6. A person on active duty status in the United States military 

service, who is stationed and resides in Ohio, and his/her 

dependents shall be considered residents of Ohio for these 

purposes. 

7. A person, who is transferred by his employer beyond the 

territorial limits of the 50 states of the United States and the 

District of Columbia while a resident of Ohio for all other legal 

purposes, and his/her dependents shall be considered residents 

of Ohio for these purposes as long as Ohio remains the state 

of such person’s domicile. The person also must have fulfilled 

his/her tax liability to the State of Ohio for at least the tax year 

preceding enrollment. 

8. A person who has been employed as a migrant worker in 

the State of Ohio and his/her dependents shall be considered 

a resident for these purposes provided such person has worked 

in Ohio at least four months during each of the three years 

preceding the proposed enrollment.

areas. Please comply with the signage as posted. 

Eating and drinking of any beverage is not permitted in any

Student Appeals Policy and Procedures 

Owens Community College encourages informal feedback 

from students at any time during their enrollment as part of the 

continued attempt to provide services to meet student needs. In 

spite of these efforts to serve students, there may be an occasion 

when a student: 

1. Disagrees with a decision or action of an Owens Community 

College administrator, faculty or staff member or the 

Disciplinary Hearing Committee; 

2. Disagrees with a policy of the College; 

3. Disagrees with implementation of a policy; or 

4. Feels they have been discriminated against. (Discrimination 

on the basis of sex, race, color, religion, national origin, ancestry, 

age, nonperformance related handicaps or parental marital status 

are not lawful.) 

The Student Appeals Procedure is intended to provide students, 

who disagree with a decision/policy or who feel they have been 

discriminated against, for any of the above reasons, a process of 

appeal through a grievance procedure. (All problems involving 

academic grades are excluded from the scope of responsibility for 

the Appeals Committee structure. Problems involving grades are 

appealed through the Council of Deans.) 

A copy of the student Appeals Procedure and Grade Appeal 

Procedure is available, by appointment, from the Office of the 

Vice President of Student Services. 

A student grade appeal must be filed no later than one semester 

after the grade was issued. A grade appeal for a Spring Semester 

course must be filed before the end of the ensuing Summer 

Semester. 

Student Responsible Computing Policy 

Students are responsible for all actions and/or functions 

performed on College computers with regards to log-on 

identifications, passwords and e-mail accounts. It is a violation 

of College policy to share such information with others. 

Unauthorized use, alteration, destruction or disclosure of Owens 

Community College information or computing resources is 

a computer-related crime and will be subject to disciplinary 

action and/or criminal prosecution. Downloading and/or storing 

information and/or materials of a pornographic, illegal or 

offensive nature will not be tolerated and may result in cessation 

of computer access, and/or disciplinary action and/or criminal 

prosecution.

any of these decisions. 

1. Warning – verbal or written that if the violation is 

continued, or repeated, the student may be subject to additional 

disciplinary action. 

2. Disciplinary Probation – a written reprimand outlining 

the violation a student has committed. The probation is for a 

specified period during which the student is considered not to 

be on good academic standing. 

3. Fines – Monetary charges for violation of the student codes 

such as parking violations, smoking in prohibited areas, etc. 

4. Restitution – compensation for loss, damage or injury. 

5. Loss of Privileges – loss or denial of privileges certain 

amenities, services, etc. for a specified period of time. 

6. Discretionary Sanctions: work assignments in service to the 

College or other miscellaneous assignments. 

7. Referral to an outside agency for assistance – A student 

may be required to an outside agency to seek assistance from 

a psychologist, substance abuse counselor, etc. if the Vice 

President of Student Services reasonably believes the student 

may need such services. 

8. Suspension – Will result in the student’s separation from the 

College for a specified period of time. 

9. Expulsion – removal of a student permanently from the 

College. 

E. Appeals 

A student may appeal the decision rendered by the Disciplinary 

Administrator and request a hearing before a Disciplinary 

Hearing Committee. The only grounds for such an appeal are 

prejudicial procedural error, prejudicial error as to findings of 

fact, discovery of substantial new facts unavailable at the time 

of the hearing, or excessive severity of the sanction. A Student 

Appeals Packet that outlines the Appeal Procedures will be 

provided by the Vice President of Student Services’ office. 

The Disciplinary Appeals Committee consists of six (6) 

members, including two faculty appointed by the Provost, one

75 



administrator and one staff member, both appointed by the Vice 

President of Human Resources, and two students appointed by 

the President or Vice President of Student Government. The 

administrator will serve as chairman of the committee. Four 

committee members shall constitute a quorum. 

The student may submit a written statement, may invite 

witnesses to testify on his/her behalf, and question a witness who 

appears against him/her. If the student elects not to attend the 

hearing, the charges will be reviewed as scheduled on the basis of 

the information available and a decision made. 

During the Disciplinary Hearing, an advisor they choose at their 

expense may assist a student. The student is responsible for 

presenting his or her own case and, therefore, advisors are not 

permitted to speak or participate directly in any hearing before 

the Disciplinary Appeals Committee. 

After hearing testimony and reviewing the documents submitted, 

the committee will retire to consider the evidence and render 

a decision. The committee will determine if the student did 

violate the Student Code of Conduct and, if so, what penalty to 

impose. The decision must be the results of a majority vote of 

the committee members present and voting. 

Upon reaching its decision, the committee will forward its 

recommendations to the Vice President for Student Services. 

Upon review and acceptance of the recommendations, the Vice 

President will notify the student formally, by registered mail, of 

the decision, with copies to the Registrar. 

Student ID Cards 

Every new student must obtain a new photo Express Card 

Student ID. This card is required to use the Bookstore, Common 

Computer Labs, Library, Student Health & Activities Center, 

check cashing on campus, transportation, on-campus vending 

and other campus services. 

Student Records and Privacy Act 

The Family Education Rights and Privacy Act became effective 

November 19, 1974. This act provides access for students to 

information about themselves, permits students to challenge 

such information about themselves and limits the release of 

such information about students without the student’s explicit 

consent. Owens Community College has established the 

following policies in response to the Family Education Rights 

and Privacy Act. 

Access to Student Records 

A person who has obtained matriculation status at Owens 

Community College is for the purpose of this section considered 

to be a student with access to his/her record(s) under the 

stipulations provided below. All information entered in a 

student’s file is available for inspection by that student upon 

presentation of appropriate College identification except in the 

following specific cases: 

A. Counseling Services 

1. All information gathered in direct counseling services 

(including documentation of counseling sessions, summary 

of testing information and results, summary of screening

representative in the Office of Academic Enhancement & 

Counseling. Such discussion and interpretation must be within 

the guidelines dictated by the Ohio Revised Code, the State 

of Ohio Counselor and Social Worker Board and the ethical 

standards of the American Counseling Association. 

2. Special situations concerning release of information to 

students not covered in the above will be handled as they arise 

within limits set by the Ohio Revised Code, the State of Ohio 

Counselor and Social Worker Board and the ethical standards of 

the American Counseling Association. 

B. Financial Aid Office

Vehicle Regulations 

Toledo-area and Findlay-area Campuses 

Registration of Vehicle(s) 

Owens Community College requires identification of each motor 

vehicle as being the responsibility of each student who operates 

and/or parks it on property owned or controlled by College. 

Parking permits are issued during the registration process, and 

any time thereafter, by the Bursar’s Office. 

Cost of Parking Permit 

Students registered for one to five credit hours will be assessed $5 

per semester (excluding summer semester) for a parking permit. 

Students registered for six or more credit hours will be assessed 

$10 per semester (excluding summer semester) for a parking 

permit. There is an additional charge of $2 for the issuance of 

more than one parking permit to the same student. Valid permits 

are required for each semester. For Summer Semester, permits are 

valid from Spring Semester or Fall Semester of the current year. 

Display of Parking Permit 

Parking permits must be displayed at all times while vehicle is 

on campus. Failure to properly display a parking permit is a 

violation subject to penalty. 

Replacement of Parking Permits 

Should a parking permit holder sell or otherwise dispose of 

their vehicle, the parking permit must be removed. The parking 

permit may be transferred to a new vehicle or an additional

79 



parking permit can be purchased for $2 from the Bursar’s 

Office. If the parking permit is left on the sold vehicle and the 

vehicle should subsequently reappear on any property owned 

or controlled by Owens Community College, and is found 

in violation of any of the Motor Vehicle Regulations, all such 

infractions may be charged to the individual to whom the permit 

was originally issued. If a permit is lost or stolen, the owner of 

the parking permit must immediately report it to the Safety and 

Security Office. 

Handicapped Parking 

Owens Community College provides for handicapped parking 

in convenient spaces for all major buildings. Additional spaces 

can and will be added if needed. Further information about 

handicapped parking can be obtained at Campus Safety and 

Security, located in Alumni Hall, next to Disability Services. 

Handicapped parking violators will be assessed a $65 fine. 

Bicycles 

Parking bicycles inside campus buildings is not permitted. 

Motorcycles 

Motorcycles must be registered with the Security Office by 

license plate. Motorcycles constitute a motor vehicle as defined 

in the Ohio Revised Code and therefore, the same parking 

regulations apply as with any other motor vehicle. Operators of 

motorcycles are reminded that kickstands often push through 

and damage blacktop. This can cause the motorcycle to fall over. 

It is recommended that something be placed under the kickstand 

to prevent this from happening. 

General Parking Regulations for Students, 

Employees and Visitors

motorbikes, trucks, buses and vans, as well as automobiles or

parking space. Student parking is available in all parking areas 

of the campus. 

3. A motor vehicle illegally parked in a handicapped space, 

handicapped access or in a reserved space, or found in violation 

of any section of these motor vehicle regulations, may be 

“booted”, which means a restricted device will be placed on the

fines/penalties are made with Campus Security and the device is 

removed by Campus Security. 

4. A motor vehicle improperly parked, determined to be a 

traffic or safety hazard, abandoned or found in violation of any 

section of these motor vehicle regulations, may be towed (at the 

owner’s expense) by order of Campus Security. The owner or 

driver also is subject to fine and penalty. 

5. Parking in restricted areas (such as fire lanes, at yellow curbs, 

in “no parking” areas, in drives, etc.) or parking in any area not 

specifically designated for parking, constitutes a violation and is 

subject to penalty. 

6. No one may park in a driveway or entrance to a parking area

or driveway. If a vehicle is parked or blocking entrances or 

driveways, it will be subject to fines. All such driveways and 

entrances are fire lanes. 

7. Unauthorized vehicles cannot be parked in any parking space 

or area specifically designated by a RESERVED sign at any 

time. 

8. Parking in designated handicapped spaces is restricted to 

individuals with temporary Owens handicapped permits or

subsequent vehicle to campus, a new permit will be issued by 

the Bursar’s Office at a cost of $2 per additional parking permit.

parking permits are available and may be obtained from the 

Safety and Security Office. These permits must be displayed 

at all times. For individuals having a temporary disability, 

short-term handicapped passes may be obtained from Campus 

Safety and Security, located in Alumni Hall, next to Disability 

Services. 

14. The responsibility of finding a legal parking space rests with 

the vehicle operator. Lack of space is not considered a valid 

excuse for violation of these regulations. Overnight parking in 

any College lots must be reported to Campus Security. 

Additional Motor Vehicle Regulations 

1. In the absence of a specific College traffic regulation, all 

provisions of the Ohio Revised Code (relative to any traffic 

matter) shall be in full force and effect on all College-owned or 

controlled property and shall be enforced at all times. 

2. On the Toledo campus, the speed limit in parking lots is 10 

miles per hour. All individuals shall operate motor vehicles on 

the streets of the campus within posted speed limits and with 

due regard for the traffic, surface and width of the street, and 

for any other conditions then existing. No person shall drive 

any motor vehicle at a greater speed than will permit him/her to 

bring it to a stop within the assured clear distance ahead. 

3. It shall be the duty of the operator of any vehicle to yield 

the right-of-way to a pedestrian walking on any street of the 

College’s campus.

limited to this particular type of traffic at all times and no other 

vehicles shall be permitted to use these streets and driveways.

emergency will be permitted to use those streets and driveways 

only for the express purpose of loading and unloading.

of Findlay Campus (except as restrictions noted above) are 

available for Owens Community College student use, subject to 

pertinent University of Findlay regulations (white lined only). 

The responsibility of finding a legal parking space rests with the

PARKING TIPS: 

• An Owens parking permit does not guarantee a parking space; 

it does allow you to park legally on campus, in accordance with 

parking regulations for students and staff. 

• Peak demand for parking spaces in campus lots is Monday 

through Thursday, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. 

• Arrive 30 minutes prior to the start of your class. 

• Become familiar with all of the available parking lots, as detailed 

on the campus maps. 

On the Toledo campus, it is a 5-minute walk from the parking 

lots located on the east side of campus, surrounding the Galleria 

Complex, to the center of the west side of campus, near College 

Hall. 

Also on the Toledo campus, use the free, on-campus, Park & Ride 

shuttle service, Monday through Thursday, 7:30 a.m. to 5:10 p.m. 

The Park & Ride shuttle stops at 12 locations between the west and 

east sides of campus. It follows a continuous loop, taking about 10- 

15 minutes to complete. Look for the “Park & Ride” signage. This 

service is only available during the Fall and Spring semesters. More 

information on this service is online at www.owens.edu/schedules/ 

campus_shuttle.html. 

• Try to take care of your non-class school business needs during 

non-peak times. We encourage you to use our online services to 

register and pay tuition and fees. 

• The College will be installing parking meters for visitors to 

use in designated spaces in parking lots serving College Hall, 

Administration Hall and the Transportation Technologies Building. 

Parking permits do not allow for parking at meters. This will be for 

visitor-use only.

to the graduation requirements for all students, Dental Hygiene students must maintain a 

2.0 average or better in Dental Hygiene subjects. Students failing to maintain this average 

or who fail a Dental Hygiene course may be readmitted one time only on a space available 

basis. 

Non-Academic Readmission Policy 

Students who leave the Dental Hygiene program for other than academic reasons may 

request readmission and be readmitted providing there is an opening in the program. 

Academic Readmission 

Readmission will be determined on a space available basis with non-academic readmission 

having priority over academic readmission. A student requesting readmission after dismissal 

for academic reasons must complete the following: 

1. Retake all courses in which the student received a “D” or “F” grade and the 

student must receive a “C” or better upon repeating each course. 

2. A lab proficiency examination to demonstrate previously acquired skills may 

be required.

Dental Hygienist Work Environment 

The dental hygiene health care worker provides services in an environment that includes 

blood and saliva. Diseases may be encountered in this type of environment. However, 

research shows that risks are negligible when appropriate infection control procedure/barrier 

techniques are used. Upon entering the program, there is in-depth training to meet the 

protocol for a hazard-free, safe learning environment. 

Recruitment of Clients 

Dental Hygiene Students learn and practice skills in the on-campus dental hygiene clinic. 

On going recruitment of clients for the clinic is necessary for each student to meet their 

program requirements. Students will be expected to recruit clients in addition to the client 

that seeks routine care in the clinic.

CREDITS REQUIRED: See individual major 

INSTRUCTION: 

All majors in Medical Imaging 

Technologies combine didactic instruction 

with practical application of knowledge 

and skills at affiliating institutions. 







PREREQUISITES 







The Diagnostic Medical Sonography, Nuclear Medicine and Radiography 

programs - outlined in the following three pages - are designed to prepare 

students for work as technologists in their individual areas of study. 

Students in Diagnostic Medical Sonography are instructed in the use 

of high frequency sound waves to produce images of internal structures 

for use by a physician to evaluate patient condition. Students in Nuclear 

Medicine are prepared to assist a physician by using radioactive materials 

in diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Radiography students are 

taught to produce images on film or video monitor that physicians 

utilize when making a diagnosis. Students receive a combination of 

didactic instruction with practical application of knowledge and skills in 

affiliating health care centers. 


Program admission is selective and requires high school graduation or 

its equivalent, and submission of an ACT score. Students who have 

not taken the ACT should contact their high school counselor or the 

Owens Community College Office of Enrollment Services to obtain test 

registration materials and additional prerequisite information. Interested 

students must have completed high school or college algebra, chemistry 

and one additional science course with a “C” grade or better. Other 

recommended high school subjects include physics, algebra II, geometry, 

biology and physiology. Students who have completed 12 or more 

college credit hours, with four hours in math or science, that pertain to 

their medical imaging major of choice will be evaluated on their college 

coursework. 

• The program accepts students at the beginning of the Summer or Spring 

Semester, depending on the major. However, completed applications are 

evaluated bimonthly. Students accepted will be placed in the earliest class 

available. Enrollment is limited by clinical availability. 

• Applicants who do not meet admission requirements or who have applied

Early Childhood Education Special Admission Requirements 

Application packets 

Students may pick up a packet in College Hall Room 120 on the Toledo-area 

Campus and on the Findlay-area Campus Child Care Center. The Office of 

Enrollment Services on either campus also has application packets. 

NAEYC Code of Ethical Conduct 

This code offers guidelines for responsible behavior and sets forth a common basis 

for resolving the principle ethical dilemmas encountered in early childhood care 

and education. Students are expected to follow these guidelines when working 

with young children, families and coworkers, and demonstrate sound physical, 

emotional and mental health. Students receive this Code of Ethical Conduct with 

their application packet. 

Background Checks 

According to the Ohio Senate Bill 38, as enacted October 29, 1993, all individuals 

engaged in child care activity must complete a background check by the Ohio 

Bureau of Criminal Investigation and Identification. Individuals who have been 

Ohio residents for less than five years also must complete a Federal Bureau of 

Investigation check. These background checks must reveal no convictions for any of 

the criminal offenses listed in the Ohio Senate Bill 38 in order for the student to be 

accepted to the program. The student assumes background checks costs. 

Additional Admission Requirements 

1. Each student must provide the Early Childhood Education Department with 

three (3) copies of the following: 

a. High school diploma or G.E.D. 

b. Completed Student Application 

c. Employee Medical Statement (O.D.H.S. form 1296) completed and signed by 

a licensed physician within six months prior to application 

d. Completed Child Day Care Conviction Statement (O.D.H.S. form 1301) 

e. Completed Student Reference forms. 

2. Each student must complete Owens Community College’s assessment tests for 

reading, writing and numerical skills prior to enrolling in the first semester. 

Students will be accepted into the Early Childhood Education program and allowed 

to register for Early Childhood Education classes with child contact when the above 

requirements are completed. 

Grades 

All students enrolled in this program must achieve a grade of “C” or better in each 

Early Childhood Education course and maintain an average of “C” in all other 

courses. Students who fail to achieve a grade of “C” in Early Childhood Education 

courses may repeat those courses one time. The Department Chair must approve 

additional course repetition. 

Recommendation for Licensure 

The faculty has the responsibility to both the public and the teaching profession to 

award a degree or license only when the candidate has demonstrated a satisfactory level 

of professional knowledge, skills and dispositions. Students in ECE are specializing

OPEN ENTRY/OPEN EXIT PROGRAMS 

(OE/OE) 

These programs are an innovative way of 

delivering traditional education through 

direct application and experience. 

Traditional courses are broken into 

modules that reflect the skills necessary 

for a specific occupation or position 

in this fast-paced, technology-driven 

market. 

FLEXIBLE CLASS TIMES: 

Specific classroom meeting times and 

lectures are eliminated. Students meet 

with instructors in a lab environment 

when it is convenient for them to 

complete assignments and tasks for a 

specific module. 

TRAINING: 

Students complete written assignments, 

simulations and/or lab exercises to 

demonstrate their skills and new 

abilities in each module. Students may 

spend extra time with instructors and 

mentors in areas in which they have 

difficulties. Additionally, students may 

accelerate through their program based 

on their availability and ambition. 

The Skilled Trades Technologies program is offered in response to 

expressed training needs from local industries. Owens Community College 

has developed an application-oriented program directly targeted to the 

requirements of a modern manufacturing environment. An advisory 

committee, representing a cross-section of area business and industry, 

has provided valuable input in the development of this program. Owens 

Community College offers training in a modern facility with laboratories 

that provide hands-on training supported by knowledgeable instructors.
