third-party funding (financial aid, agency) are applied

course within the first two weeks will be designated a No
Show (NS) by the instructor.

attendance status and the attendance status reported by
an instructor, the attendance status reported by the
instructor will be the status of record.

after a No Show (NS) has been issued by the instructor
or self-reported by the student for that course section.
6. The designation of No Show (NS) will not appear on the

Tuition is charged on the basis of residence in the State of
Ohio and residence outside of the State of Ohio. A student
with a question of their right to claim legal residence in the
State of Ohio for educational purposes may request the College

process by submitting a completed Review of Residency Form
to the Office of the Registrar. The Review of Residency Form
should be submitted to the Office of the Registrar at least five
(5) working days prior to the beginning of the term in which the
student plans to enroll.
Proofs of residency will be required when requesting a
review of residency. An Ohio Driver’s license or Ohio State
Identification Card is required. A lease, deed, notarized letter
to validate living in the state is required. Proof of paying Ohio
income tax; bank statements; voter registration card; employment
letters all can be considered as support documents to validate
residency status. Other documents as needed may be
requested.
