STUDENT SERVICES AND PROGRAMS 21 INTERNSHIPS Students who have completed their sophomore year, have an overall GPA of 2.0, and are in good standing with CCAD are eligible to participate in an internship. Each internship provides 1.5 elective credits and involves at least 120 hours of work. Students are limited to no more than 3.0 internship credits (or two separate internships) throughout their college career. Some majors require internships, while others strongly encourage them. Students should check with their advisor or department chair if they are unsure about whether an internship is required for their major. Students do not add internships to their own schedules; packets containing policies and necessary forms are available in the Career Services office. The internship class includes goal setting, journaling and reflection activities, and concludes with a presentation seminar in which all the interns in a specific semester convene to share their experiences. Credit for the internship is added to the semester in which the seminar and other evaluative functions occur. Students who do not complete all internship requirements on time, including written assignments, will not receive credit for their internship, which may prevent a senior from graduating on time. The Internship Fair is held each fall to allow students to meet with potential internship providers on campus. Additional opportunities are advertised at www.ccadcareers.com throughout the year. Internship notices are sent to students through email; some are also included in the weekly email update or may be shared by faculty members. For assistance seeking an internship opportunity, students should visit the Career Services office. EMPLOYMENT ASSISTANCE AFTER GRADUATION Career Services is open to alumni who want to update resumes and skills or discuss the evolving employment scene. Staff members also want to maintain friendships developed with past students and are always excited to hear success stories. Alumni are urged to use www.ccadcareers. com as a job search and job posting tool as well as to offer mentorship to students and new graduates. Alumni are also encouraged to participate in CCAD’s Alumni Facebook page, facebook.com/ccadalumni. More information is available on the Alumni Relations area of the college’s website.

The college will use email as the primary means of communication with all students, and students are encouraged to check their CCAD email account frequently to remain informed of important information. Students will be responsible for any information sent to their CCAD email accounts. The format for a student email address is jstudent.1@go.ccad. edu. That is, the first initial and last name in lowercase characters with no spaces, followed by a period and the number 1 (or 2 or 3 if several students have the same name). Students can access their email on or off campus by visiting www.ccad.edu and choosing the CCAD GoMail menu option. To retrieve email, student will enter their username (jstudent.1) and password. Passwords are defined as the last six digits of the student’s Social Security number. Students have four megabytes of storage space dedicated to their mailbox. Sending messages with attachments larger than the space available in the mailbox will generate an error message. Students may choose to forward email sent to their CCAD email account to a different preferred email account, and information is available through the help links provided with their CCAD GoMail account. For related information about use of college computers and email systems, please see “Computers for Student Use” on p. 26. EMERGENCY MESSAGE ASSISTANCE For assistance in reaching an individual student in an emergency, contact Safety & Security (614.222.6165) or One-Stop Student Services (614.222.3295), who will deliver emergency telephone messages to students in class. HEALTH STUDENT HEALTH INSURANCE The Student Health and Accident Insurance Plan is mandatory for all full-time students, and full-time students are automatically enrolled into the program each semester unless they waive the coverage by the designated deadline by providing proof that they are enrolled in another health insurance policy outside of CCAD. Part-time students are not automatically enrolled each semester but may participate in the plan if they desire with permission from the dean of students. Students are advised that the coverage is limited and they may want to secure more extensive major medical coverage through parents’ insurance or other independent insurance sources. Students who remain enrolled in the insurance plan are asked to read the brochure pertaining to the plan. Forms, cards, and additional information may be acquired through the One-Stop Student Services office in the Crane Center or online under college services. Additional coverage is available (up to a $25,000 limit) if desired and may be obtained by submitting the form provided with the regular insurance brochure. To waive coverage: In order to waive coverage, students must provide proof that they are enrolled in another health insurance plan outside of CCAD. To verify this alternative coverage and to waive out of CCAD’s plan, students must go to www.studentplanscenter.com, select “Columbus College of A & D” from the list of institutions, and then click on the “Waive Online” link. Once the online waiver is completed, they will receive a confirmation number. Waivers will not be accepted after the deadline to waive has passed. Students who miss the deadline or submit false information about their enrollment in an external plan will be enrolled in the plan for that semester without exception. Students uninterested in the insurance plan must waive coverage before Fall Semester each year they are enrolled at CCAD. Waiving coverage is effective for one academic year, not one year. If the plan is waived before Fall Semester, it will need to be waived before the next Fall Semester. If the plan is waived in Spring Semester, it will need to be waived again before Fall Semester. International students have a different insurance plan, and all international students are required to participate in this plan. Students unsure about the benefits of the international student plan should contact the One-Stop Student Services office. Note: Treatment at hospital emergency rooms can be quite costly and should be utilized in situations of emergency only. However, where illness or accidents are concerned, students should never take chances by delaying appropriate treatment but should use their own best judgment to determine if emergency treatment is warranted.
