ASSESSMENT OBJECTIVES - INSTITUTIONAL GOALS

Faculty at the University of Northwestern Ohio have identified six institutional goals for students to develop

during their coursework. Graduates should possess the following abilities:

• Oral, Written, and Visual Communication

• Mathematical Data Analysis

• Arts and Humanities

• Social and Behavioral Sciences

• Natural and Physical Sciences

• Competency in Major

Each course syllabus will cite the specific skills that are being developed in that course and program. Measurement

and assessment of the institutional goals will occur in the Portfolio Capstone Course that students will complete

before graduating. The University is involved in a four-year study with The Higher Learning Commission Assessment

Academy to redefine these goals and general education.

MAJOR/DEPARTMENT GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

Academic Outcomes

Each department, both academic and non-academic, has identified Major/Department Goals. The academic goals

and objectives are developed during the required courses for that major and are measured in embedded course

projects and in activities that are administered during the Portfolio Capstone course which all students complete

before graduation. Results from the measurement tools are tabulated and disseminated to department members

in order to make adjustments to the coursework, lesson plans, textbooks, assignments, etc. to increase the students’

level of understanding for the major goals and objectives. These changes are documented and maintained by all

departments.

Institutional Effectiveness Goals

Non-academic departments have also identified departmental goals and objectives. These goals and objectives

outline how the department will fulfill its mission statement. Measurement tools have been identified for non-

academic departments, and the results from the measurement tools are shared among department members and

across departments. These results help the non-academic departments consistently improve the services they

provide to all potential and current students as well as alumni and members of the communities the University

serves.

GENERAL EDUCATION PHILOSOPHY

Mission Statement:

Social and Behavioral Sciences

• Students should understand human behavior on the individual and group level and methods of inquiry

used within these fields.

• Course areas will include communication, economics, politics, psychology, and sociology.

Natural and Physical Sciences

• Students should develop knowledge of science and its applications to make observations, drawconclusions, and evaluate scientific information.

• Course areas will include a science course and a laboratory course.

University Studies

Mathematics Lab

The UNOH Mathematics Lab is open to all undergraduate students and is free of charge. For specific dates and times

that the lab is available, please contact James Nastally, Mathematics Lab Coordinator/Academic Skills Assistant, at

[email protected] or 419-998-3157.

The UNOH Mathematics Lab:

• Strongly emphasizes students’ desires to learn and understand any and all math material that they are

given so they can master the material once leaving the lab.

• Is designed to place students more at ease with any anxiety concerning math.

• Takes great pride into making any math course more fun, enjoyable, and more self-fulfilling for every

student who has a goal in mind of becoming a great business/technical professional.

• Understands that students learn at their own pace, hence the staff is supportive and patient in the learning

process.

What to Expect in the UNOH Mathematics Lab:

• All students who use the Mathematics Lab is to sign in on the Mathematics Lab Sign-In Sheet to keep track

of traffic flow in the lab to evaluate for future endeavors for the lab.

• Come prepared with pencils, paper, books, calculators, etc. Computers will be provided in both the Skills

Lab and Room 5207 for courses that require the use of software and online programs.

• Have at least tried to work through some of the homework to give the Mathematics Lab staff a better

understanding of where students’ struggles are with certain material.

What the UNOH Mathematics Lab is NOT:

• A replacement for the classroom. For students to fully understand their courses, they must first under-

stand the expectations and directions of their instructor to complete assigned material successfully.

Instructors have the option to deviate from their syllabus at will, and it is the students’ responsibility to

be aware of the changes to the course that an instructor or professor makes.

• A substitute for missed classes. The Mathematics Lab cannot compare with instructors’ direction and

expectations, as stated from the previous bullet point. Students are advised to keep in contact with

instructors or professors when missing a class period.

• A last-minute resort before an exam, midterm, or final examination. The Mathematics Lab cannot replace

weeks of material into a few hours of tutoring. It is advised that students are seen in the Mathematics Lab

frequently throughout the week to grasp a better understanding of the various material covered in their

courses.

Tips for Using the UNOH Mathematics Lab:

• Stop into the Mathematics Lab the first day of class just to introduce yourself and know whom to meet once

problems start to arise throughout the course.

• Become acquainted with peers in your math course and form study groups. Having familiar faces to work

with while in the Mathematics Lab will help to create better success once leaving the lab.

• Do similar problems to your assigned course work with the answers in the back of the book to grasp a

better understanding of the material.

• Be patient with the Mathematics Lab staff, and they will be patient with you. Students learn on a different

platform than the rest of their peers. The learning process is slow when tackling new material; but with

time and patience, anything is possible with the right attitude and approach.

Students with Disabilities

Students who used an IEP (Individualized Education Plan) or 504 plan in high school should bring a copy of their

most current plans and accommodations to the Academic Skills Coordinator to be put on file. The University

upholds reasonable accommodations for the students who have a plan that is preferably no more than three years

old. A student’s IEP or 504 may be brought, mailed, or faxed to the attention of Danielle McClure.

PROCEDURES

Admission. The Admissions Department will accept applications from high school seniors in an accredited high

school after the completion of their junior year. High school juniors can make an application to UNOH at the

university’s open houses held each spring. The Admissions’ and Registrar’s offices verify that the high school is a

state-recognized and accredited institution.

Future students may apply online at www.unoh.edu or be interviewed by an Admissions Representative. During this

interview, the Representative will explain the majors in detail, answer questions regarding the University and

discuss career opportunities.

Applications for enrollment will be completed by the applicants and forwarded to the administrative staff for review.

After applicants go through the selection process, they will be notified of acceptance or refusal within four weeks. If

accepted, this notification indicates a conditional acceptance contingent upon final transcripts and other appropriate

materials after graduation from high school. At the time of application, a $20 application fee must be paid. ACT/SAT

scores are recommended but not required. Students who take the ACT/SAT exams may use those scores for placement

tests.

The University of Northwestern Ohio may deny admission to any applicant for any reason not prohibited by law,

including conviction of a crime or the fact that the applicant has been subject to discipline at another academic

institution.

Students will be asked periodically to complete a disclosure form indicating whether or not they have been arrested

for or convicted of a crime. The purpose of the disclosure form is to identify potential threats to the UNOH community.

Every disclosure of an arrest or conviction will be evaluated on an individual basis. However, students may be

subject to discipline for arrests and convictions up to and including expulsion from UNOH. In addition, failure to

disclose an arrest or conviction constitute grounds for discipline up to and including expulsion from UNOH. Questions

regarding this policy should be directed to the Director of Safety Services.

Acceptance. Students will be accepted at the University on one of two levels. The first is Full Acceptance (upon receipt

of the final transcript), which means that no restrictions are placed upon the students. The second is Probational,

which means that students are being accepted for one academic quarter/session on the condition that normal

scholastic progress is achieved.

If a student does not start within a year of completing his/her enrollment application, the new tuition rate and

program iteration will apply.

TIME OF ADMISSION

Students are admitted at the beginning of each term, according to the dates in the catalog. Students may not begin

after the term starts. Only students who are graduates of an accredited high school or its equivalent are eligible to

be awarded a diploma or degree by the University. Students should submit proof of graduation before they may begin

classes unless they are in an early admissions or post-secondary options program. Students who have been home-

schooled must also present proof of graduation and other appropriate documentation.

ACCREDITED HIGH SCHOOL TRANSCRIPTS

These transcripts from accredited high schools must be sent directly from your school to the University of Northwestern

Ohio. We do not accept hand-delivered or faxed transcripts as official documents.

In order for the transcript to be considered official, the following information must be included:

• Date of Graduation • Imprint/Raised Seal

• Signature of School Official • G.P.A. - Cumulative

• Rank of Student

28

A D M I S S I O N S

If your school does not have a raised seal or does not rank students, it must be noted on the transcript by the school

official.

STUDENTS WITH A GED

Students who have completed a GED from the State of Ohio must request an official copy of test scores be sent

directly to the Office of the Registrar. Students with a GED from a state other than Ohio can submit a copy of their

test scores for verification.

HOME SCHOOLING

Students who have been home-schooled must provide the following documentation as the final transcript:

• Transcript outlining all courses taken

• Course descriptions of courses taken

• Grades received in those courses

• Date of completion of all requirements for graduation

• Documentation outlining a curriculum approved by the state where the student was home-schooled

The transcript must be signed by the person certifying it and be notarized to be considered official.

EVIDENCE OF GRADUATION

Students must have evidence that they have been granted a diploma from a state-recognized and accredited high

school to be accepted at the University of Northwestern Ohio. Any questions about special circumstances or

certificates or a GED should be directed to the Registrar’s Office.

College of Business, College of Health Professions, and College of Occupational Professions students have one quarter

and College of Applied Technologies students have two sessions to provide proof of high school graduation. Students

without proof of graduation after the deadline may be put on hold and denied further enrollment until proof of

graduation is provided. Evidence that students have not graduated will prevent scheduling for any future term.

ORIENTATION

Students are encouraged to attend an orientation session prior to starting classes. Orientation is an informative

session during which the students and parents will receive information about housing, financial aid, fees, career

services and scheduling. The housing move-in activities and procedures will also be explained. The purpose of

orientation is to make the transition from high school to the University of Northwestern Ohio an easy one. If students

cannot attend orientation, they will be mailed the information and receive a follow-up call from the New Student

Coordinator.

The Colleges of Business, Health Professions, and Occupational Professions hold orientations before each quarter

where placement testing and scheduling are completed. Students who do not complete placement testing before

their starting term may be required to take the developmental courses required in their program, EN070 Basic

English, MH065 Review Math, and KY080 Keyboarding for Beginners.

DEGREE-SEEKING STUDENTS / UNDECLARED MAJORS

Degree-seeking students enroll for the purpose of completing diploma or degree programs. Students may declare a

major at the time of enrollment or enter as an undeclared major. Undeclared majors may declare majors at any time.

However, because of the sequence of major courses, it will take longer to graduate.

29

A D M I S S I O N S

NON-DEGREE-SEEKING STUDENTS

Non-degree-seeking students do not intend to complete diploma or degree programs. These students may take a

maximum of 12 credit hours and must then declare a major and complete the regular application process.

Non-degree seeking students must meet all course prerequisites and will be placed on academic hold which will

require the Registrar’s Office to schedule classes. The hold will be removed if a major is declared.

TRANSIENT STUDENTS

Students from other colleges who wish to enroll at the University of Northwestern Ohio for a limited time or a specific

course can be admitted as transient students. They should contact the Registrar of their current college to determine

transferability of UNOH courses. These students may take a maximum of 12 credit hours; after completion, to

continue, they must declare a major and complete the regular application process.

Transient students must meet all course prerequisites and will be placed on academic hold which will require the

Registrar’s Office to schedule classes. The hold will be removed if a major is declared.

TRANSFER STUDENTS

Students who transfer from another accredited college must have an official transcript of their college courses sent

directly from their original college to the Office of the Registrar at the University of Northwestern Ohio for evaluation

of credit. Credit may be granted for comparable course descriptions and credit hours in which students have

received a grade of C or better. A maximum of 135 quarter hours for baccalaureate degree programs, 81 quarter hours

for associate degree programs and 54 quarter hours for diploma programs may be transferred from other institutions.

A maximum of 20 credit hours will be transferred into the general education component of the associate of applied

science degree. Diploma students are required to complete their general education course requirements through the

University of Northwestern Ohio. Computer and other technical courses will need to be retaken if not taken within

a recent time period, usually three years.

Students may receive credit for courses in several ways: by completing the courses satisfactorily, by passing proficiency

exams, by demonstrating experiential learning through portfolio development or by transferring credits. Students

who present evidence of ASE certification (College of Applied Technologies - degree program only) may take a

“hands-on” test to gain credit. Proficiency exams may be taken by all students--traditional and Virtual College.

Students who have attended an institution that is nationally but not regionally accredited may have their credits

transferred conditionally. Upon the successful completion (2.00) of one quarter of full-time work (College of Business,

College of Health Professions, and College of Occupational Professions) or two sessions (College of Applied

Technologies), the transfer credits will be recorded on their permanent transcripts; otherwise, the credits will be

recorded when a 2.00 is achieved.

Students who have earned an appropriate associate degree from an accredited institution can transfer 90 hours into

the 2+2 baccalaureate courses with junior status. Students who have not earned an associate degree will have their

transcripts evaluated on a course-by-course basis.

MBA students may transfer in a maximum of 8 credit hours from a graduate program at another regionally accredited

institution. Students in the MBA Program must complete 40 quarter credit hours with the University of Northwestern

Ohio. In order to receive credit for transfer courses, the student must have earned an average grade of B or better in

graduate courses.

Students who wish to transfer to other institutions should contact the Registrar at that college or university for

information about transferability of credit.

INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS

Students from other countries are offered the opportunity to study at the University of Northwestern Ohio. To be

admitted to the University, international students must meet the following admissions requirements:

• Students must submit the University’s Application for Enrollment and an official copy of a secondary level

or high school academic record indicating successful completion of the program. (International students

completing their last year of secondary level education in the U.S. as exchange students must submit an

academic record from the U.S. high school they currently attend as well as the school they last attended in

their home country. A letter should also be submitted from a high school official [i.e. guidance counselor]

who is familiar with the students’ academic progress, recommending the students for the majors they have

selected.)

• If students have previously attended colleges or universities, official copies of these records must also be

submitted. All records should be submitted in English.

• Students who are from countries where English is not the dominant or common language must also submit

one of the following results:

IELTS (International English Language Testing System): 5.5 minimum required score

TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language): 61 - internet-based test

• The University defines the requirement of the dominant or common language.

• The application fee of $50 must be in U.S. currency and accompany the application for enrollment.

• Financial aid for international students is not offered by the University of Northwestern Ohio. Therefore,

students are required to submit documentation of sufficient financial resources to meet university expenses.

If students are sponsored by an individual or other source, an official letter of verification from that

sponsor must also be submitted.

• All records need to be translated in English by an acceptable source.

After students submit the above-mentioned items, the University will review the materials and will issue Form I-20,

Certificate of Eligibility, if all required items are in order.

RESIDENCY REQUIREMENT

Generally, the University of Northwestern Ohio requires students to take a minimum of 45 credit hours from the

University for a baccalaureate degree, 27 credit hours for an associate degree and 18 hours for diploma programs.

This requirement is modified for Military personnel.

TESTING

Placement testing serves two purposes. First, it helps the University determine abilities in English, mathematics, and

keyboarding. Second, it places students in the correct course level, either college-level courses or courses that

prepare students for college-level courses.

To help students succeed, the University provides developmental assistance. For those students who demonstrate a

need for help, MH065 Review Math, EN070 Basic English, and KY080 Keyboarding for Beginners are required. These

credits are not counted in the accumulative total of credits required for graduation.

Students from all colleges are permitted to submit valid ACT or SAT scores for placement into college-level courses.

Any student scoring 18 or higher on the ACT English or math test or SAT scores of 450 in writing or math is not

required to take tests for placement in college-level courses.

College of Business, College of Health Professions, and College of Occupational Professions

Business students are evaluated in English and math. Students scoring below 70% on the tests are required to take

EN070 Basic English and/or MH065 Review Math. Students in select majors may have to take the test in keyboarding.

Those students scoring below 25 net words per minute and/or scoring more than five errors on the keyboarding

timing test are required to take KY080 Keyboarding for Beginners.

31

Retesting Policy: The University of Northwestern Ohio follows the COMPASS Retest Policy provided by ACT. There-

fore, retesting is only appropriate when there is reason to believe that the examinee’s score does not accurately

reflect his or her knowledge or skill. Retesting is appropriate under two circumstances: (1) when performance is

influenced by factors other than ability and (2) when there is a significant change in the examinee’s ability. Retesting

is considered on an individual basis, and all requests should be submitted in a letter to the Associate Vice President

for Academic Affairs. There is a $25 retesting fee.

College of Applied Technologies

Students will be evaluated in writing and math through a placement test given in UN100 First Year Experience. For

students who demonstrate a need for help (scoring below a 70% on the English and/or math placement tests), MH065

Review Math and/or EN070 Basic English are required.

If students have taken ACT or SAT tests before matriculating, those scores may be used. Any student scoring 18 or

higher on the ACT English or math test or SAT scores of 450 in writing or math is not required to take tests for

placement in college-level courses.

ADVANCED PLACEMENT

Advanced Placement credit will be granted to students taking college-level courses in high school on the following

basis:

CREDIT FOR EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING

The University of Northwestern Ohio believes that life experiences provide people with measurable opportunities for

learning. Students who feel their lifelong learning could be evaluated should set up an interview with the Dean of the

Colleges of Business, Health Professions, and Occupational Professions. At that time, the feasibility of the request

will be determined; and, in cases where it appears to be a viable option, students should enroll in a one-hour course

in Prior Learning Assessment.

The assessment of previous learning will be based on the detailed portfolio which will include verification and

documentation of experience as well as evidence of college-level learning. A maximum of 40 hours may be earned.

A charge is made for evaluation of the portfolio.

Credit may be given for PONSI, CLEP, DANTES, and ACE recommendations.

HIGH SCHOOL ARTICULATION AGREEMENTS

The University of Northwestern Ohio has a partnership with many area high schools/career centers/vocational

schools to grant enrolled students articulation credit if certain course requirements are met through their high

school/vocational center. The University of Northwestern Ohio offers articulation credit in the College of Business,

College of Health Professions, College of Occupational Professions, and the College of Applied Technologies.

Information about schools that currently have articulation agreements with the University of Northwestern Ohio

can be gained by contacting the Registrar’s Office. If an agreement has been established with the school, then

students should visit their secondary school counselor to have their articulation application completed. All completed

applications should be returned to the Registrar’s Office.

TECH-PREP PROGRAMS

Through the Tech Prep Consortium, the University of Northwestern Ohio has entered into an arrangement with area

career centers/vocational schools to offer articulation credit in automotive technology. Students should contact the

counselors at their career centers/vocational schools to have them complete the application form.

EARLY ADMISSIONS PROGRAM

With the approval of their high school principals, high school seniors may enroll for business or technological

classes at the University of Northwestern Ohio. Interested students should check with their high school principals or

guidance counselors.

POST-SECONDARY OPTION

The Post-Secondary Option program allows appropriately qualified high school students the opportunity to

participate in college-level courses while still attending high school. High school juniors and seniors should have

a 3.00 g.p.a. to participate; freshmen and sophomores must have a 3.5 g.p.a. to participate. High school students

must meet the University requirements for prerequisite courses and maintain satisfactory progress to continue in

the program. Students will be required to take English and math placement tests before enrolling into an English or

math course prior to the quarter’s beginning. The Post-Secondary Option program is available fall, winter and

spring quarters. Proficiency tests for other courses are available at a cost of $50 each. Grades are available on-line

for both traditional and Virtual College students and are sent to the high school counselor each quarter.

The Post-Secondary Option is offered through the following delivery methods:

Virtual College. Students complete all of the work via the Internet. Each student must have Internet access with a

computer and the required software for classes. Weekly contact is made with the instructor. All Virtual College

students are required to take UN100 First Year Experience the first quarter. This course prepares the students for the

Virtual College experience.

A D M I S S I O N S

33

Traditional Classes. The student will attend regularly scheduled classes and follow the guidelines given by the

instructors.

DUAL ENROLLMENT

In an effort to strengthen our partnerships with area high schools, the University has instituted a dual enrollment

program. This program is designed to enhance the academic rigor of high school curricula and give high school

students the opportunity to earn college credit without leaving their home high school. Students must have a 3.00

high school accumulative average or be recommended by their high school guidance counselor.

Partnering high schools will teach a duplication of a UNOH course within a regularly scheduled high school class. High

school teachers must meet college qualifications standards and are mentored by University administrative staff. The

standard application fee will be waived for dual enrollment students. Students must earn a passing grade to receive

college credit.

MBA ADMISSIONS REQUIREMENTS

Students will be required to submit an application and application fee to the Admissions Department. Application

deadlines will be posted with the Admissions Department and online. An MBA student selection date will be also be

posted. All applicants will be notified of admittance or waiting list status. Admission into the MBA Program will be

granted after review of the application materials by the Admissions Department, the MBA Director, and the Vice

President for Academic Affairs/Provost. If applicant numbers are within the allotted number of students being

accepted for that quarter, students with a 3.0 or better will be admitted unconditionally; students between a 2.5 –

2.99 will be accepted with conditional acceptance. If enrollment exceeds the sections being offered, potential

students will be ranked based on undergraduate g.p.a. Deficiency and prerequisite areas will also be considered.

Baccalaureate degrees transferred from an institution with national accreditation will be entered after two quarters

of attendance at the University. At that time, the student must be in Good Standing (3.00 g.p.a.).

Four areas of prerequisite have been outlined. These areas are:

Accounting Marketing

Finance Economics

Students not meeting these prerequisites at the baccalaureate or graduate level will be required to complete their

deficiencies either in a module format for pass/fail credit or be taken as a traditional course for credit.

The MBA program is 18 months in length (six quarters) and begins each spring and fall. On-campus MBA students

typically schedule two web-enhanced courses per quarter. A web-enhanced course features a combination of

traditional and virtual settings. In a typical four-credit hour course students will average two hours on campus and

two hours online each week (rather than four hours on campus). Attendance on campus is mandatory, but students

are given some flexibility with virtual requirements. Class times consist of lecture, group work, assessments, etc.

Virtual requirements include exploration of course material via message board discussion with peers and instruc-

tors, article review and summary, assessments, etc. Additionally, lecture information, assignments, course informa-

tion, and supplemental materials are made available to students on the course website.

The MBA on-line degree has no mandatory on-campus time.

Academic Requirements. The following procedure was established to monitor student progress.

• If a student fails a course the first time, the Registrar’s Office will notify the student in writing that he or

she has only one more chance for a retake. Students will be allowed to retake an MBA course only one time;

any additional requests will require a written appeal to the MBA committee.

• A cumulative g.p.a. of 3.00 must be maintained to be in Good Standing in the MBA program.

A D M I S S I O N S

34

• Academic standing will be as follows:

Acceptance Conditional (2.5 – 2.99) Full (above 3.0) Action

Quarter 1 Probation Warning Registrar letter issuedQuarter 2 Dismissed ProbationQuarter 3 Dismissed

• Conditionally accepted students will go on probation the first quarter they are under 3.00 because their

conditional acceptance serves as a warning.

• These academic requirements do not have to be sequential quarters.

• The MBA program will follow the same academic guidelines as other programs.

The MBA program must be completed within five years. Students are encouraged to maintain continuous enrollment

in the program, but a student may apply for a temporary leave with the appropriate documentation. Only two leave

periods may be taken during enrollment in the program. If a student withdraws for a leave period, he or she will be

subject to any iteration changes that may have been made to the program and may, therefore, have additional

coursework required in order to complete the program. The tuition at the time of re-admittance will be in effect.

Transfer information can be found on Page 29. For information on grading, please see Page 69.

ARMY ROTC

Overview

Army ROTC is an elective that students take along with their required college classes that teaches them the skills

needed for a successful career. Students combine classroom time with hands-on experiences and learn leadership

and management skills. It prepares them with the tools, training, and experiences that will help them succeed in

any competitive environment. Because it’s an elective, students can try it out for their freshman and sophomore

years without incurring any obligation to serve in the military. If they decide they are up to the challenge of leading

in the world’s best armed forces, they continue on to the advanced courses of Army ROTC while completing their

degree. Students will have a normal college student experience like everyone else on campus, but at graduation

they are commissioned as a Second Lieutenant to serve on active duty or with the Army Reserves or National Guard.

Take Army ROTC for a semester, 1 year, 2 years, or all 4 years

Traditionally, Army ROTC is a four-year program. The first two years are taken in the freshman and sophomore

years (Basic Course). Keep in mind, students can take the Basic Course on a trial basis for up to two years (unless,

of course, students are on an Army ROTC scholarship or contracted). The ROTC courses must be taken on the

Bowling Green State University campus in Bowling Green, Ohio, once a week.

The second two years are taken in the junior and senior years (Advanced Course). And, during the summer between

the junior and senior years, students will attend Leader Development and Assessment Course (LDAC), which will

give them hands-on training and the confidence they can’t learn in a classroom. It is a four-week summer course

to evaluate and train all Army ROTC Cadets.

What will you learn?

During the Basic Course, studies will include: Basic Leadership Development, Basic Military Skills, Adventure

Training, and Life Skills. During the Advanced Course, studies will include: Advanced Leadership and Management

Skills, Advanced Tactics, and Army Ethics. Whether students take Army ROTC for a semester, two years, or all four

years, they will have the skills, confidence, and experience needed to succeed after they graduate in whatever

career they decide to pursue.

TUITION REIMBURSEMENT

Any student who receives tuition reimbursement may defer payment until the end of each term. Deferment isdependent upon receipt by the University (on or before the first day of class), a signed reimbursement plan formwith a satisfactory commitment from the employer to reimburse the University for tuition, fees and other charges.Amount of tuition deferment is based upon the employer’s reimbursement policy. Charges in excess of reimbursementmust be paid on or before the first day of class.

A new reimbursement plan must be submitted by the first day of each term. Forms are available at the Cashier’sOffice or on-line at www.unoh.edu.

REFUND POLICY

Students should familiarize themselves with the University’s refund policy. The refund policy determines if any creditis due to students if they withdraw from school or reduce enrollment. The “refund period” is when the University ofNorthwestern Ohio may not charge 100% of the tuition if the student withdraws. Please refer to the official withdrawalpolicy as stated on Page 76 to determine date of withdrawal.

If students decide not to attend the University, the $20 application fee will be refunded if requested within 30calendar days after signing the enrollment agreement and making an initial payment or if students are not acceptedby the University. All housing deposits are non-refundable.

COMPLETE WITHDRAWAL POLICY

Tuition and fees are charged on a quarterly basis in the College of Business, College of Health Professions, Collegeof Occupational Professions, and Graduate College and per six-week session in the College of Applied Technologies.Students who are enrolled in classes and then completely withdraw will be subject to the following policy.

• Students who withdraw on or before the second day of the term are credited 100% tuition. Dorm fees areprorated to the day the key is returned to housing/security and an exit sheet is completed.

39

T U I T I O N

• Students who completely withdraw on or before the eighth (8th) calendar day of the term are entitled to 75%credit of tuition billed for that term.

• Students who completely withdraw on or before the fifteenth (15th) calendar day of the term are entitled to 50%credit of tuition billed for that term.

• Students who completely withdraw on or before the twenty-second (22nd) calendar day of the term are entitledto 25% credit of tuition billed for that term.

• Students who withdraw after the twenty-second (22nd) calendar day of the term will not receive credit of tuitionbilled for that term.

• Withdrawal policy does not apply to dual enrollment students. Dual enrollment students are not eligible for atuition credit or refund.

The University of Northwestern Ohio adheres to the federal policy for the return of Title IV funding. The HigherEducation Amendments of 1998 (HEA98) represent the requirements in the Return of Title IV Federal Financial Aidwhen a student withdraws from the University. This policy governs all federal grant and loan programs (as listedbelow), but does not include the Federal Work-Study Program.

Federal law requires that a student earn his/her federal financial aid awards in proportion to the number of days inthe term prior to the student’s complete withdrawal. The portion of the federal grants and loans to which the studentis entitled to receive or has earned is calculated on a percentage basis by comparing the total number of days in theterm to the number of days that the student completed before he/she withdrew. For example, if a student completes40% of the term, he/she earns 40% of the approved federal aid that he/she was originally scheduled to receive for theterm. This means that 60% of the student’s scheduled or disbursed federal aid remains unearned and must bereturned to the federal program(s). Once the student completes 60% of the term, he/she has earned 100% of his/herfinancial aid. Thus, no financial aid will be returned.

The refund percentage is determined by dividing the number of days the student attended in the quarter/session bythe number of days in the quarter/session.

This calculation may result in the student’s overpayment in one or more of the Title IV programs. Students in anoverpayment situation will be responsible to the school to make restitution for the overpayment. In accordance withthe federal policy, unearned aid will be returned in the following order.

1. Unsubsidized Federal Family Educational Loan2. Subsidized Federal Family Educational Loan3. Parent Loan for Undergraduate Student4. PELL Grant5. ACG Grant6. FSEOG7. Other Title IV Programs (except for Federal Work-Study)

This policy does not affect the student’s charges. The University’s withdrawal policy will be used to determine thereduction, if any, in the student’s tuition and/or room and board charges. The student is responsible for paying anyoutstanding charges to the University.

The University will document the official withdrawal date as the date the University Services or Counseling Departmentreceives either verbal or written notification from the student.

For students who do not contact these offices to withdraw, an unofficial withdrawal date will be the date theRegistrar or Counseling Department is notified by the instructor that the student is no longer attending classes.

Unofficial withdrawals may have a greater adverse effect on financial aid and/or tuition costs than the officialwithdrawal.

40

Students who withdraw from classes during the refund period are subject to repaying a percentage of their grantsand student loans in accordance with Federal Law and the University of Northwestern Ohio’s refund procedures.

COURSE DROP POLICY

When a course is dropped, but the student has not completely withdrawn, the following institutional policy is usedin determining the adjustment to tuition.

• Students who drop one or more courses on or before the second (2nd) calendar day of the term will be credited100% tuition for that course/courses.

• Students who drop one or more courses on or before the eighth (8th) calendar day of the term will be credited75% tuition for that course/courses.

• Students who drop one or more courses on or before the fifteenth (15th) calendar day of the term will becredited 50% tuition for that course/courses.

• Students who drop one or more courses on or before the twenty-second (22nd) calendar day of the term will becredited 25% tuition for that course/courses.

• Students who drop one or more courses after the twenty-second (22nd) calendar day of the term will notreceive tuition credit for that course/courses.

Students’ financial aid may be adjusted whenever they add or drop classes or completely withdraw. Refunds, bothto financial aid and/or the student, will be made within 30 days after the student’s date of withdrawal (the date thestudent notifies the Registrar’s Office) as determined by the records of the University.

MEDICAL WITHDRAWAL POLICY

Students who withdraw due to their own medical condition must present to the Counseling Office medicaldocumentation indicating that they were unable to attend classes during the period of time they were absent and/or state they cannot continue with classes. This documentation must be received within ten business days afterthe withdrawal is processed.

Students who withdraw with approved medical documentation will be withdrawn from their courses on the datethey notify the University of their withdrawal; however, a grade of WP/WS (Withdrawn Passing/Satisfactory) willbe entered as the grade for the courses. Students without medical documentation will be assigned a grade of WP/WS (Withdrawn Passing/Satisfactory) or WF/WU (Withdrawn Failing/Unsatisfactory) according to the establisheddates for making that determination. Tuition charges in all instances will be based on the date of notification forthe withdrawal.

Students withdrawing for approved medical reasons with documentation submitted at the time of withdrawalmay have their catalog year for program requirements maintained for a period of up to one year from the date ofwithdrawal. Students in the College of Applied Technologies may also have their tuition rate maintained for thesame period of time. In order to be eligible for this action, documentation must be provided in a timely mannerat the time of withdrawal or immediately thereafter. In the absence of documentation, the withdrawal will beprocessed according to standard procedure.

GENERAL INFORMATION

The following information is about the financial aid programs and processes at the University of Northwestern Ohio.

Financial aid programs are used to support the remaining costs when the student and/or family have demonstrated

the need for these resources to enable the student to attend and graduate from the institution. Actual costs of

attendance include tuition and general fees, housing, meals, and an estimate for books and miscellaneous living

expenses, such as laundry and transportation to and from home.

The University requires the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to determine eligibility for financial

assistance programs administered by the Financial Aid Office. These funds are made available to students in the

quarters or sessions they are enrolled in.

The calendar year that students can receive financial aid when applying for assistance starts in the Summer Quarter

(College of Business, College of Health Professions, College of Occupational Professions, and Graduate College) or

June Session (College of Applied Technologies) and continues through the Spring Quarter or May Session respec-

tively. To receive assistance for future academic years, students must have reapplied for their financial aid by

completing the “Renewal FAFSA” as soon as possible after January 1, but not later than April 1, to meet the quarter or

session billing statement due date.

Undergraduate students must be registered for a minimum of half-time (6 hours in the College of Business, College

of Health Professions, and College of Occupational Professions and 3 hours in the College of Applied Technologies)

to be eligible to receive financial assistance including Federal and private student or parent loans. Students who are

registered for less than full-time (full-time is 12 hours in the College of Business, College of Health Professions, and

College of Occupational Professions and 6 hours in the College of Applied Technologies) will have proportional

eligibility for Federal and State grants.

All graduate students in the Master’s of Business Administration program must be registered for a minimum of half-

time or 4 hours in the Graduate College to be eligible to receive financial aid assistance from the Federal Direct

Student Loan programs. Full-time is 8 hours. The only funds that MBA students are eligible for are generally the

Federal Direct Student Subsidized and Unsubsidized Loans (see loans).

GRANTS

Grants are financial aid awards that do not require repayment. They are available to eligible students usually based

upon financial need.

Federal Pell Grant

The Federal Pell Grant can provide financial support to students who have the highest financial need. Students can

apply for the Federal Pell Grant by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid Form (FAFSA). A student

must be an undergraduate to receive a Federal Pell Grant. The regulations define an undergraduate as one who is

enrolled in an undergraduate course of study and who has not earned a baccalaureate degree. Federal Pell Grants

are prorated based on a student’s enrollment status and expected federal contribution. These funds are available

for up to 18 quarters of attendance.

Students may be eligible for more than nine months (three quarters in the College of Business, College of Health

Professions, and College of Occupational Professions or six sessions in the College of Applied Technologies) of

Federal Pell Grant funds within the same academic year if they meet the requirements set by the Department of

Education. In order to receive more than nine months of Pell eligibility, students must be enrolled at least half-time,

they must have received 100% of their first scheduled award, and they must have completed an academic year, or

36 credit hours, or they must be attempting their 36th credit hour within the second scheduled award period.

Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (FSEOG)

The Federal SEOG is another aid source of grant assistance for students with high need and who are eligible for the

Federal Pell Grant. Students can apply for the FSEOG grant by completing the FAFSA. The funds are provided to the

University and are then awarded by the Financial Aid Office. There is no separate application for the program.

43


Ohio College Opportunity Grant

The Ohio College Opportunity Grant is a state-funded grant available to eligible Ohio residents who demonstrate

financial need with an EFC of 2190 or less. The grant is to be applied to tuition and general fees only. Students must

be enrolled in an associate or baccalaureate degree program to receive the Ohio College Opportunity Grant. Stu-

dents can apply by completing the FAFSA form. The application deadline is the last Friday in September of the award

year. These funds are available for up to 15 quarters of attendance.

LOANS

Loans are available to eligible students and/or their parents through a variety of need-based and non-need-based

programs. Typically, student loans are offered at low interest rates and need not be repaid while the student is

enrolled at least halftime. Interest rates and repayment varies according to the terms of the individual programs.

Most loans require the student to complete the FAFSA form.

All student loan borrowers are required to complete entrance counseling to learn about rights and responsibilities

as a borrower before the first Federal Direct Student Loan funds can be disbursed. Exit loan counseling is required

if the student graduates, drops to less than half-time, or withdraws.

Federal Direct Education Loans

The Federal Direct Education Loan Program is a set of Federal student loan programs that includes the Federal Direct

Student Loan (subsidized and unsubsidized) and the Federal Direct Parent PLUS loan programs.

Federal Subsidized Direct Student Loan (Undergraduate - Dependent and Independent)

Under this program students are not charged any interest as long as they meet enrollment requirements (Enrolled on

at least a half-time basis). The interest rate is fixed at 3.4% for subsidized loans disbursed beginning July 1, 2011.

(The annual grade level amounts are noted below.)

Federal Unsubsidized Direct Student Loan (Undergraduate - Dependent and Independent)

This program is available to students who were either limited or determined to be ineligible for the Federal Subsi-

dized Direct Student Loan. The amounts per grade level are the same as for the Federal Subsidized Direct Student

Loan; however, the student is responsible for the interest charges while in school. In addition, all students are

eligible for an additional Unsubsidized Federal Direct Student loan of $2000 per year. The interest rate is fixed at

6.8% for Unsubsidized Federal Direct Student borrowers with loans disbursed beginning July 1, 2011. (The annual

grade level amounts are noted below.)

Annual Amounts for dependent undergraduate students per grade level are:

$5,500 Freshman (0-35 credit hours) $3,500 Subsidized/Unsubsidized + $2,000 Unsubsidized

$6,500 Sophomore (36-89 credit hours) $4,500 Subsidized/Unsubsidized + $2,000 Unsubsidized

$7,500 Junior, Senior (Baccalaureate Program) $5,500 Subsidized/Unsubsidized + $2,000 Unsubsidized

(90 or more credit hours)

Annual Amounts for independent undergraduate students per grade level are:

$9,500 Freshman (0-35 credit hours) $3,500 Subsidized/Unsubsidized + $6,000 Unsubsidized

$10,500 Sophomore (36-89 credit hours) $4,500 Subsidized/Unsubsidized + $6,000 Unsubsidized

$12,500 Junior, Senior (Baccalaureate Program) $5,500 Subsidized/Unsubsidized + $7,000 Unsubsidized

(90 or more credit hours)

Annual Amounts for independent graduate (MBA) students are:

$20,500 (Master of Business Administration) $8,500 Subsidized/Unsubsidized + 12,000 Unsubsidized

NOTE: Current total borrowing lifetime loan limit for the Federal Direct Student subsidized and unsubsidized loan is

$31,000 as an undergraduate dependent student and $57,500 as an undergraduate independent student. The

graduate or professional lifetime loan limit is $138,500.

44


Federal Direct Parent PLUS Loans

This program is available to parents of dependent students to meet any remaining costs that other financial aid does

not cover. Repayment on the PLUS loan usually begins within 30 days after the loan is fully disbursed by the lender;

however, delayed repayment and deferment provisions are available. Family income is not a criterion in obtaining

parental loans, but a good credit history is required. The interest rate is fixed at 7.9% for loans disbursed after July

1, 2011.

Private Loan Programs

There are alternative loans available for students needing additional aid. An alternative loan is a loan in which the

student may borrow additional money to cover any remaining education expenses. These loans are based on

creditworthiness of the borrower, and in many cases a co-borrower, and are, therefore, not guaranteed. In-school

deferments of repayment, flexible repayment options, and co-borrower release options are available. For borrowers

and co-borrowers with excellent credit, the rate will in most cases be lower. For more information, students should

contact the University of Northwestern Ohio’s Office of Financial Aid or visit www.unoh.edu/fastchoice.

Charles E. Schell Foundation - Fifth Third Bank, Trustee

The Charles E. Schell Foundation Grant Program is an interest-free loan made available through the generosity of the

Charles E. Schell Foundation. The individual recipients are asked to repay their interest-free loan to create a

revolving loan fund at the University for future students.

To be eligible students must:

EMPLOYMENT

Students may be able to participate in Federal College Work-Study. This program allows students to work and earn

money toward meeting expenses. Eligibility for College Work-Study is determined by filing the FAFSA form. College

Work-Study is subject to the availability of job positions for which students can meet employment requirements.

Students employed under the College Work-Study Program will be paid directly on a bi-weekly basis.

AWARD NOTICES

Electronic Award Notices should be electronically reviewed through MyUNOH on the University website. This ac-

knowledgment allows us to reserve these funds for the student when he/she enrolls. Reductions or cancellations of

awarded funds should be submitted by email to [email protected] within a (5) five-day time period to ensure

proper application of the funds to a student’s account.

VETERANS’ EDUCATIONAL BENEFITS

The University of Northwestern Ohio is approved for veterans’ training in associate and baccalaureate degree

programs. Numerous diploma programs in the College of Applied Technologies are also approved for benefits. This

program provides eligible veterans enrolled in courses with monthly benefits through the Veterans Administration.

A full-time veterans’ services officer is available to assist veterans with enrollment and counseling.

45


Military personnel and veterans who are in the College of Applied Technologies and the degrees for adults (including

the MBA degree) are entitled to a 10% discount on unpaid tuition only while attending the University of Northwestern

Ohio. This discount is contingent upon receipt of a copy of the students’ military ID or DD214. (Other military

personnel and veterans who are in the College of Business, College of Health Professions, and College of Occupa-

tional Professions can receive a reduced tuition rate due to their military status but are not eligible for the 10%

discount.)

Dependents of military veterans are also entitled to a 10% discount on unpaid tuition with the following conditions:

– Dependents are classified as born children, step-children, or adopted children, and spouses.

– Dependents are claimed by veterans on the most recent IRS income tax returns (exception granted for

dependent children of deceased veterans).

– Veterans are enrolled in DEERS or are military ID cardholders.

– Military veteran dependent children must have matriculated at the University by the age of 21.

– Awards will be made available in the current and future terms of enrollment once the documentation has

been received.

– Dependent and spouse scholarship recipients must also follow the scholarship requirements listed on

. This includes the requirement that these awards are renewable provided students maintain a

minimum accumulative g.p.a. of 2.5. One session or quarter of probation will be granted if students fall

below an accumulative 2.5 g.p.a.

MAINTAINING FINANCIAL AID (Satisfactory Academic Progress)

The University of Northwestern Ohio must publish the standards for satisfactory academic progress that students

must meet to be eligible to receive Title IV financial assistance. These programs include the Federal Pell Grant, the

Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant, the Federal Direct Student Loans, Federal Parent PLUS Loans,

and Federal College Work-Study Funds.

The following policy for satisfactory academic progress is being provided to students in accordance with federal

law. Students are expected to assume the major responsibility for their own progress and to carefully review these

guidelines to maintain these standards required for their own individual eligibility and aid continuation.

Students who receive Title IV financial aid must maintain satisfactory academic progress while attending the

University of Northwestern Ohio in order to continue their financial aid assistance. A student must maintain a

cumulative grade point average (g.p.a.) at or above the minimum standard described in the scale below. In addition,

students must complete a cumulative minimum of 67% of their attempted coursework for the quarter or session.

Total Hours Attempted Minimum Cumulative GPA

1-15 1.5

16-30 1.6

31-45 1.7

46-60 1.8

61-75 1.9

76 or more 2.0

After each quarter and session, the financial aid staff will also review the students’ progress for those receiving Title

IV aid. Depending on the students’ progress, the students’ standing will be determined as follows:

Satisfactory Progress—applies to students who successfully complete the required standards for the quarter or

session and financial aid is continued.

Financial Aid Warning—applies to students who fail to successfully complete the required attempted number of

credit hours to meet the 67% completion rate percentage or who do not meet the required accumulative g.p.a.

The Financial Aid Office will notify students of this status relative to financial assistance. Students in this

category may continue to receive financial aid for the following quarter or session but must satisfactorily

complete the required number of attempted credit hours and achieve an overall grade point average equal to

the stated standards.

46


Financial Aid Probation—applies to students who have failed to successfully complete the required attempted

credit hours to meet the 67% completion rate percentage or have failed to achieve a grade point average equal

to the stated standard. However, these students have successfully appealed to the Financial Aid Appeals

Committee and have been granted approval to receive financial aid for one more session or quarter.

Financial Aid Suspension—applies to students who have failed to successfully complete the required attempted

credit hours to meet the 67% completion rate percentage or have failed to achieve a grade point average equal

to the stated standard. The Financial Aid Office will notify students of immediate termination of their financial

aid.

Students who receive grades of “incomplete” for one or more courses must make arrangements with their instructors

to have this grade finalized. Students must contact their instructors within two weeks of returning to the University

for the next quarter in the College of Business, College of Health Professions, and College of Occupational Profes-

sions and within the first week of the College of Applied Technologies (as required). Failure to make arrangements

with the instructors or failure to correct the “incomplete” grade will change the grade to an F; the course must then

be retaken. Students may repeat a previously passed course only once with the use of financial aid.

Students who withdraw from classes during the refund period are subject to repaying a percentage of their grants in

accordance with the Federal Law and the University of Northwestern Ohio’s refund procedures.

Maximum Time Frame

Federal regulations require each institution to establish a percent maximum time frame in which students must

complete their programs. The maximum time frame must not exceed 150% of the published length of the program

measured in credit hours attempted.

Appeal of Financial Aid Suspension

Students who are suspended from further financial aid for failure to meet satisfactory academic progress have the

right to an appeal. Students who wish to file for an appeal must notify the Director of Financial Aid or Assistant

Director in writing within two weeks from the date the student’s financial aid was suspended. Students who file for

an appeal must describe in writing first, the circumstances as to why satisfactory academic progress was not made

and second, the actions that have been or will be taken to make satisfactory progress in the future. Documentation

supporting the explanation of the appeal must be attached. Appeals submitted without documentation may not be

considered.

The Financial Aid Appeals Committee will review the appeal and determine whether the Financial Aid Suspension

is justified. The student will be advised, in writing, of the decision.

If appeals are approved, students will be placed on financial aid probation and will receive a quarter or session of

financial aid during which they must receive at least a 2.0 accumulative g.p.a. (C average) or meet the minimum

standard of the academic scale as well as complete the minimum standard of 67% of their attempted coursework

to be removed from financial aid suspension.

SCHOLARSHIPS

Scholarship awards are gift awards and may be based on merit or criteria other than financial need as determined

from filing the FAFSA. Similar to grants, scholarships also do not have to be repaid. Numerous scholarships are

available to students attending the University of Northwestern Ohio through gifts to the University in the names of

generous donors who wish to assist students. Students who receive University of Northwestern Ohio-sponsored

scholarships in both the College of Business, College of Health Professions, and College of Occupational Professions

and College of Applied Technologies must meet and maintain the requirements and understand their responsibilities

as noted on the following page:

course as quickly as possible without hitting any cones. This event is very similar to the slalom-type competition

used by skiers. Cars are divided into classes based on the number of modifications that have been made to it, and

the timing of the event is done electronically by a state-of-the-art timing system. This competition gives the

members of the Auto-X Club an opportunity to use the knowledge they gain in their fields of study to improve their

cars’ performance, and it teaches them how to drive a car quickly and safely. Learning these skills makes them

more competitive on the track and makes them better drivers on the street. The Auto-X Club meetings are held every

succeed and assesses real-world business skills and problem-solving abilities in finance, management, IT, and

computer applications. The University of Northwestern Ohio’s BPA chapter is highly successful in this annual BPA

showcase program at both the state and national levels; students’ trophies, medals, and plaques are proudly and

permanently displayed in the 100 Building.

Crossroads Bible Group

The Crossroads Bible Group is a non-denominational group that was begun at the University of Northwestern Ohio

to provide support and encouragement for those who practice the Christian faith and to give opportunity for non-

Christians to come with questions and discussion in a non-threatening environment. The group enjoys Bible study

and prayer at each meeting. The group also enjoys other activities like Christian concerts, movies, bowling, and

outreach activities. Crossroads meets every Sunday the University is in session from 8:00 to 9:15 p.m. in the 400

Diesel Club

The Diesel Club provides students with a diesel performance outlet. The students are currently building a pulling

truck and assisting with the performance modifications in order to participate in local events. The club members

have attended and worked several truck and tractor pulls by assisting the event promoters with track duties,

competition line-up, and safety inspections of pulling vehicles. The Diesel Club is open to all University students

and meets every Monday at 12:30 p.m. and 6:00 p.m.

Digital Imaging Graphics in Technology (D.i.G.i.T.)

The D.i.G.i.T. group is designed to allow students the opportunity to learn and utilize skills learned in the Digital

Multi-Media associates degree but students do not need to be in this program. This group also teaches other

students basic skills in digital design, such as Adobe Photoshop. The purpose of the organization is to promote

digital technology as an art form on campus.

In the DiGiT group, time is spent on learning, designing, and receiving hands-on experience in the media industry.

Students who enjoy spending extra time working on cool projects will find that DiGiT is the student organization for

them. The group does anything from websites, 3D animation, and Flash animation to posters and video productions.

Various projects have been completed for use within the University and for local businesses in the surrounding

communities. There are plenty of opportunities for real-world experience outside of the classroom.

Drag Club

The Drag Club gives students who are interested in drag racing a place to meet and network with other students

who share the same interest. Upcoming events, future project vehicles, and fund raising activities are just a

sample of the information that is put out at these meetings. Faculty advisors are there to help students with their

own drag racing vehicles, as well as to recruit students to help maintain and crew the University’s three drag cars

at selected events in the tri-state area. The Drag Club also sponsors “grudge” races for students and faculty at

Marion County International Raceway in LaRue, Ohio. In addition, involvement in the Drag Club provides an

inside track in finding work on professional and semi-professional teams while still in school, where students

gain invaluable experience if a career in professional drag racing is their aspiration. Several former members are

currently working on professional teams that compete in the NHRA and other sanctioning bodies. Drag Club

meetings are held every Wednesday in Room 602 in the 600 Building.

Kappa Beta Delta Honor Society

Motorsports Team

The UNOH Motorsports Team is a one-of-a-kind opportunity for students who have a passion for dirt track racing.

It has been developed to give students the ability to participate as team members, at a professional level, in an

actual racing environment.

Students design and build the vehicles and engines used on the Motorsports team. Students can be selected as

drivers based on a driving skills test that will be conducted prior to the racing season. Students work/practice

during the week from 1 to 5 p.m., maintaining and preparing the cars for races. Students who are new to the team

will become members on the stock car teams. Students, who are multiple year members or have distinguished

themselves as exceptional team members, will work on the modified teams. Team members should have a minimum

g.p.a. of 2.5 on a 4.0 scale; drivers should have a minimum g.p.a. of 3.2 on a 4.0 scale.

The Motorsports Team competes on Friday nights at the University-owned Limaland Motorsports Park and during

the season will travel to other venues to compete, such as Eldora Speedway, I-55 Speedway, Waynesfield Motorsports

Park, and Speedweek at Volusia Motorsports Park in Florida.

National FFA Organization

The National FFA Organization makes a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for

leadership, personal growth, and career success through agricultural education.

Through relationships developed by the National FFA Foundation, college students can be directly connected with

the best agriculturally related industries and organizations in the country. The UNOH Collegiate FFA chapter is a

great opportunity for students to meet new people and practice social skills through community service, fund-

raising, and professional growth opportunities.

Meetings are held during the first, third, and fifth weeks of the session at 12:35 p.m. and 6:05 p.m. in the 400 museum

area. The UNOH FFA chapter is a chartered local unit of the Ohio Association of FFA, which is chartered by the

National Organization of FFA.

National Truck Equipment Association (NTEA) Intern Program

UNOH has partnered with the NTEA to give students the opportunity to show their skills and knowledge by being

interns. This program is offered to Alternative Fuels and Diesel students. Students must be recommended by a

faculty member. Attendance and g.p.a. is also a determining factor in the selection process. Students are interviewed,

and six students are selected to become interns for this conference/trade show. All expenses are paid for students

to attend, and the students work in conjunction with the NTEA staff. Their primary responsibility is to manage the

Hybrid Medium and Heavy Duty Truck Ride and Drive. The purpose is for students to learn of the opportunities

available to them upon graduation and to find out the newest technology in the industry. This is also valuable

information to have on their resume.

Off-Road Club

The Off-Road Club exposes students to the growing field of off-road motorsports. Club members participate in two

types of activities. First, students may choose to attend and even compete in events such as tough truck racing, mud

drags, and rock crawling. At the events, students work with each other as well as attending teams to repair and/or

correctly modify vehicles for competition.

In addition to competitions, students regularly attend trail rides, often camping out for the weekend. The Club

teaches and enforces the “tread lightly” motto, teaching members to respect nature while enjoying their motorsport

of choice.

Politics Club

The Politics Club provides politically active students the opportunity to socialize, discuss political topics, and

promotes political awareness to those who are interested in learning more about bureaucratic matters. The club

meets on campus twice quarterly and meetings normally involve discussion and debate relevant to a particular

political theme. The club has coordinated a variety of activities including watching election results, brown bag

lunches, and round-table discussions.

65

President’s Student Advisory Council

The President’s Student Advisory Council is the voice and perspective of selective UNOH students who are

recommended by their professors and who have attended UNOH for one year. These students will also serve as a

focused group on specified issues. The Council meets monthly with senior University officials thinking critically

about issues and challenges facing UNOH students.

Race Club

The Race Club at UNOH was started more than a decade ago to help students in the High Performance Motorsports

program get more involved within the industry. Students can participate in a variety of organizations with the Race

Club, such as ARCA, Grand Am, and Over-the-Wall.

ARCA (American Race Car Association) – A partnership was formed with Ron Drager, the President of the ARCA

Re/Max Series, where race club members are now traveling around the country to work with various ARCA race

teams. Students in the ARCA Club have a distinct understanding of how the racing industry works and what

rules and regulations need to be followed. Students will be able to intern on ARCA race teams and perform all

duties as assigned by the crew chief.

Grand Am – Another facet of the race team is the Grand Am Team members. Students involved in the Grand Am

section of the Race Club are uniquely interested in sports car racing that takes place on road courses over the

traditional oval track. Students understand the different sanctioning bodies of these types of races and are

able to crew the vehicle to the race team’s satisfaction.

Over-the-Wall Club – The Over-the-Wall Club helps students improve pit crew skills such as jacking, tire

changing, and tire carrying. The Club concentrates on agility, mental, and nutritional aspects of the sport.

Practice is on a weekly basis and includes students who are interested in participating with ARCA, NASCAR, or

Grand Am style racing.

SEMA Intern Program

This is a very prestigious event for students. To qualify, students must be in their sophomore year of studies in an

automotive/high performance or automotive/diesel area of concentration, must have applied for and been awarded

a scholarship from SEMA (Specialty Equipment Manufacturers’ Association), and must have at least a 3.0 g.p.a. with

minimal absences in their respective concentration. SEMA interns are interviewed by a committee for their

professional insight and desire for excellence in their respective field of expertise, not to mention a desire to go to

Las Vegas, Nevada, to the largest convention and trade exhibit in the automotive field. Experiencing and learning

alongside some of the best manufacturers this industry has to offer, students have a very rewarding learning

experience.

Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE)

SIFE teams are on more than 1,800 college and university campuses in more than 40 countries. Its mission is to

change the world through free enterprise. Students gain experience in applying their classroom education by

teaching the principles of free enterprise to their communities. This organization maintains a lifelong, free virtual

career fair site for alumni. SIFE membership is free to students and is sponsored by contributions from large

corporations. The University of Northwestern Ohio Students in Free Enterprise Team has been the recipient of the

“Regional Winner,” “First Runner Up,” “Rookie of the Year” awards, and project grants.

Technical Support Team (Limaland Motorsports Park)

The Technical Support Team was formed to educate students through hands-on experience. On Friday nights at

Limaland Motorsports Park, instructors/coordinators find race teams that need extra help. The students are put on

these teams to gain experience in racing. Some students stay with the same team all year and even go to other tracks

with their team. To join, come to the pit booth on Friday nights and talk to the Technical Support Team Coordinators

to be placed on a team.

GRADES

A, B, C, D, F, and WF (withdraw/failing) are computed in the accumulative average. WP (withdraw/passing), I

(incomplete), S (satisfactory), U (unsatisfactory), WS (withdrawn satisfactory), WU (withdrawn unsatisfactory), and

NR (not reported) are not computed in the accumulative average. An S is considered a C or better. A U is comparable

to a D or F. Transfer and proficiency credits are not computed in the accumulative average.

Incomplete Grade

Failure to correct an “Incomplete” grade in the specified amount of time will result in the grade being changed to an

“F.” The course must then be retaken in its entirety. Making up this deficiency is the student’s responsibility.

College of Business, College of Health Professions, and College of Occupational Professions: A grade of “Incomplete”

for one or more courses for a quarter is a deficiency which must be corrected within two weeks for the next quarter.

College of Applied Technologies: Students who receive an incomplete grade in a technical course must complete

course work before the following session ends. Students receiving an incomplete for a general education course

must complete course work by the second week of the following session.

Record Changes

Grades or attendance records will not be changed after six months have elapsed from the end of the term in which the

grade or absence was received.

Quality Points

To figure the grade point average (accumulative), multiply the number of credits by the quality points. Then divide the

total quality points by the number of credit hours.

A = 4.00 B+ = 3.33 C+ = 2.33 D+ = 1.33 F = .00

94-100 87-89 77-79 67-69 59 and below

A- = 3.67 B = 3.00 C = 2.00 D = 1.00

90-93 82-86 72-76 62-66

B- = 2.67 C- = 1.67 D- = .67

80-81 70-71 60-61

Grade Review

A student may petition for an academic review of a grade by the following procedure:

1. The student initially requests of the instructor a verbal explanation of a grade or evaluation.

2. If the student is not satisfied with the instructor’s explanation, he or she may appeal to the Dean of the

Colleges of Business, Health Professions, and Occupational Professions or the College of Applied Technologies,

who will confer with the Vice President for Academic Affairs/Provost, who makes the final decision.

MBA Grades

Students will be issued a letter grade based on criteria outlined in each course syllabus. All courses receiving below

a C must be retaken. Students must maintain a cumulative 3.0 g.p.a. for graduation. If a student’s g.p.a. falls below

a 3.0, an academic warning or probation letter will be issued and the student won’t be eligible for graduation.

FERPA ANNUAL NOTIFICATION

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords students certain rights with respect to their education

records. These rights are:

1. The right to inspect and review the student’s education records within 45 days of the day the University

receives a request for access. Students should submit to the Office of the Registrar written requests that

identify the record(s) they wish to inspect. The Registrar will make arrangements for access and notify the

student of the time and place where the records may be inspected. If the Office of the Registrar does not

maintain the records, the Registrar shall advise the student of the correct official to whom the request

shall be addressed.

2. The right to request the amendment of the student’s education records that the student believes is

inaccurate or misleading. Students may ask the University to amend a record that they believe is inaccurate

or misleading. They should write the University official responsible for the record, clearly identify the part

of the record they want changed, and specify why it is inaccurate or misleading. If the University decides

not to amend the record as requested by the student, the University will notify the student of the decision

and advise the student of his or her right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment. Additional

information regarding the hearing procedures will be provided to the student when notified of the right to

a hearing.

3. The right to consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information contained in the student’s education

records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent.* One exception, which

permits disclosure without consent, is disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests.

A school official is defined as a person employed by the University as an administrative, supervisory,

academic, or support staff position (including law enforcement unit); a person or company with whom the

University has contracted (such as an attorney, auditor, or agent); a person serving on the Board of

Trustees; or a person assisting another school official in performing his or her tasks, including student

workers. A school official has a legitimate education interest if the official needs to review an education

*The student can request a Waiver for Release of Information, granting specific individuals access to financial

information. This does not include educational information, i.e. grades.

FERPA designates certain information related to students as “Directory Information” and gives the University the

right to disclose such information to anyone inquiring without having to ask students for permission unless the

student specifically requests in writing that ALL such information not be made public without their written consent.

The University shall release “Directory Information” unless students specifically request in writing that it be

withheld.

Please consider very carefully the consequences of any decisions by you to withhold “Directory Information.”

Should you decide NOT to release “Directory Information,” any future requests for such information from non-

institutional persons or organizations will be refused. Some of the effects of your decision to withhold “Directory

Information” will be friends or relatives trying to reach you and prospective employers inquiring about you, etc.,

requests for information will be refused.


71


The University will honor your request to withhold “Directory Information,” but cannot assume responsibility to

contact you for permission to release requested information. Regardless of the effect upon you, the institution

assumes no liability for honoring your instructions that information be withheld. The request to withhold Directory

Information must be made while the student is actively enrolled. The restriction can be revoked in writing (signature

required) at any time by the student.

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY POLICY

Academic integrity or honesty is the foundation for all the coursework at the University of Northwestern Ohio.

Cheating and plagiarism are considered dishonest. Cheating includes, but is not limited to, copying another person’s

answers on homework, quizzes, or tests, whether in paper or electronic format. Plagiarism includes using another’s

work as one’s own, either paraphrasing or directly quoting without proper citation. An incident of cheating or

plagiarism will be considered an offense; subsequent offenses will be met with increasingly severe penalties.

Therefore, the following revised policy has been adopted:

1st Offense: The instructor has the discretion to fail the student for the assignment and/or require another

assignment or to fail the student for the course depending upon the weight of plagiarized assignment.

The instructor may recommend failure after consulting with the Dean. A notice of the offense will be

filed in the Dean’s office.

2nd Offense: If the student has a second offense in any class, the student will be immediately dismissed from the

current class and receive a failing grade or an F for that course depending upon the weight of

plagiarized assignment. The instructor may recommend failure after consulting with the Dean. If the

student is found to have two offenses in two courses during the same quarter, the student will receive

Fs for both courses. A notice of the offense will be filed in the Dean’s Office.

3rd Offense: If a student is found to have committed a third offense in any class, the student will be immediately

expelled from the University and receive failing grades or Fs for all courses for that quarter. If you are

dismissed from the University of Northwestern Ohio for cheating or plagiarism, you may not return to

the University. A notice of the offense will be filed in the Dean’s Office.

Any of the above steps may be skipped depending upon the severity of the offense.

Students who have been accused of cheating or plagiarism may appeal the decision in writing to the Dean of the

Colleges of Business, Health Professions, and Occupational Professions or the Dean of the College of Applied

Technologies. The Vice President for Academic Affairs/Provost will be consulted. The Dean’s and the Vice President

for Academic Affairs/Provost’s decision will be final.

REQUEST FOR GRADUATION

Students in the College of Business, College of Health Professions, and College of Occupational Professions must

file a Request to Graduate with the Advising Office. The forms are available online at the MyUNOH Portal in Campus

Offices>>Registration & Advising web page and in the quarterly scheduling packet. Digital versions can be com-

pleted and sent as an email attachment to [email protected]. Printed versions can be mailed to or dropped off at

the Student Services Building. An email message or other reminder notice will be sent to all students once each

quarter.

72

Term After Which Student Will Graduate Term Form Needs to Be Completed - Three Qtrs. Before Final Qtr.

Fall Quarter Week 2 of Winter Quarter After Scheduling for Spring Quarter

Winter Quarter Week 2 of Spring Quarter After Scheduling for Summer Quarter

Spring Quarter Week 2 of Summer Quarter After Scheduling for Fall Quarter

Summer Quarter Week 2 of Fall Quarter After Scheduling for Winter Quarter

The Request for Graduation gives the Advising Office an opportunity to review the student’s academic program

evaluation to update the anticipated graduation date and course numbers as needed and to confirm that all

program requirements will be fulfilled before the anticipated graduation date. It is an essential activity that

requires that the students notify the Registrar’s Office and the Advising Office of the courses they plan to take in

their last three quarters. A letter will be sent to each student confirming the accuracy of the plan or with details

about corrective action that is needed, including delaying graduation if all the requirements cannot be met by the

anticipated graduation date.

The Advising Office will send a reminder each quarter by UNOH email or other methods of communication through

the MyUNOH Portal to announce due dates to file Request for Graduation forms. Request forms are included in each

quarter’s scheduling packet and are also located in the Documents & Forms links in the MyUNOH Portal. Students

with multiple programs can file one request form if all the programs are graduating simultaneously. If the student

desires one program to graduate earlier than another, a request form must be completed at the appropriate time for

each program. The Request for Graduation form is required in the Portfolio Capstone course.

Students who fail to complete this process might cause their own delay in graduation or may not be processed by

the Registrar’s Office even though all requirements are completed.

DEGREE VERIFICATION

The Degree Verification process is designed to be the second step in the graduation process completed by the

Registrar’s Office.

Graduating students will complete the Verification of Degree Program form when they take the Portfolio Capstone

course for their program. This form confirms the degree level and program from which the student is graduating as

well as the intended term of graduation. The form also allows the student to provide a preferred name for the

commencement ceremony. Students who do not receive this form can access it online or contact the Registrar’s

Office. Completed forms may be returned to the Registrar’s Office.

GRADUATION

To qualify for graduation, students must meet the course and credit requirements specified for their curricula. They

must also have a 2.0 accumulative grade point average to graduate. Students should apply for graduation through

their appropriate college.

Students in the College of Business, College of Health Professions, and College of Occupational Professions should

update their anticipated graduation date by emailing the new date to [email protected]. Anticipated graduation

dates are affected by scheduling decisions, terms not attended, and other plans made by the student. Each student’s

current anticipated graduation date is located on the program evaluation and is posted as a link at the MyUNOH

Portal. Students with multiple programs need to check each program’s anticipated graduation date. Anticipated

graduation dates are not automatically updated. It is the student’s responsibility to monitor it and request it to be

updated. Inaccurate anticipated graduation dates can affect financial aid eligibility.

Students in the College of Business, College of Health Professions, and College of Occupational Professions are

advised to submit a Request for Graduation three quarters before a program is completed. In addition to request-

ing a program to be graduated by the Registrar’s Office, the Request for Graduation process requires the student to

submit a formal scheduling plan three quarters before graduation and provides a well-defined graduation date.

The scheduling plan allows the Advising Office to advise students to adjust their plan, if needed, to achieve

graduation. Failing to file the Request for Graduation form may delay graduation if requirements are not complete

or if the anticipated graduation date is not correct.

dependent upon circumstances and formal request.) A student will be academically dismissed after a course has

been failed a third time. When a class is repeated, only the higher grade will be calculated in the grade point

average. The course and grade earned previously will remain on students’ records. Students are expected to pay for

the course each time it is taken.

Students who are scheduled for First Year Experience/Portfolio Capstone are required to attend. Those failing to

attend will be charged for the course and will receive a failing grade. The failing grade will remain on the student’s

final transcript permanently.

74

If students have declared a change of major, students may petition through the Registrar’s Office to take other

classes to substitute for courses where an F was received. These courses may be used only as specialized electives

in the new major. General Education courses do not apply.

PRESIDENT’S LIST

A student in the College of Business, College of Health Professions, and College of Occupational Professions who

earns a 4.00 grade point average (6 credits or more) for the quarter will be named to the President’s List. Students

must be in Good Standing to qualify for the President’s or Dean’s Lists.

DEAN’S LIST

Students in both colleges who earn a 3.5 or better grade point average (6 credits or more) for the term will be named

to the Dean’s List. Students must be in Good Standing to qualify for the President’s or Dean’s Lists.

GRADE REPORTS

Final grades are posted on the University’s student access web-site at the end of each term. All students are assigned

a user name and password and need to utilize this information to view their grade reports on-line. If a student needs

a paper grade sheet, it may be requested from the Registrar’s Office. No grade reports are mailed.

AWARDS

Academic Achievement Awards

At graduation, degrees are conferred with the following distinctions:

summa cum laude 3.9 - 4.00

magna cum laude 3.75 - 3.89

cum laude 3.5 - 3.74

These designations are for undergraduate degree programs only.

PROFICIENCY EXAMS

Students wishing to take a proficiency exam should contact the Registrar’s Office so that eligibility can be determined.

Once the Registrar verifies eligibility to take the exam, students should contact the Cashier’s Office prior to taking

the exam to pay the $50 proficiency fee. Students must present their receipt from the Cashier to the Registrar’s

Office. Tests will then be sent to the Testing Center. Students should schedule a time to test with the Testing Center.

For technical classes in the College of Applied Technologies, after the Registrar is notified that students have passed

the written portion of an exam, the students must again see the Cashier to make payment for the comprehensive

portion prior to taking the exam. Again, students must present their receipt from the Cashier to the person

administering the exam.

EARLY / LATE EXAMS

All students should request an early or late exam time only when absolutely necessary. Students wishing to take an

early exam must first contact the instructor/professor of the course. Upon approval by the instructor/professor, a

signed, written permission form will be given to the student. The student must take the permission form to the

Cashier’s office for payment prior to taking the exam. A $25 fee will be charged per exam.

The Cashier will give the student a receipt and sign the permission form verifying payment. The student must then

return the form to the instructor/professor of the course.


75


PORTFOLIO CREDIT (CREDIT FOR EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING)

Students whose non-traditional learning may qualify for college-level credit should contact the Dean’s office for

eligibility. Once the Dean has determined the students are eligible, they should enroll for the UN154 Prior Learning

Assessment or UN354 Orientation and Experiential Learning for Accelerated Programs.

All students should submit a portfolio for review for each course they would like evaluated for potential credit. The

portfolio would need to be submitted to the Dean so that he may assign the appropriate faculty member to review

it.

After submitting a portfolio, students should contact the Cashier’s office to pay the fee. All fees need to be paid

before the portfolio will be reviewed.

The Registrar’s office will notify students of the results of the review.

DEFINITION OF A CREDIT HOUR

The College of Business, College of Health Professions, and College of Occupational Professions operates on a

quarterly system. Traditionally, one quarter hour of credit is one class period per week. For example, all five-hour

classes will meet five days per week for 45 minutes per day. The College of Applied Technologies operates on six-week

sessions. Technical classes meet for 20 hours Monday through Thursday. Distance Learning does not follow the

traditional Carnegie unit. The accelerated and the MBA on-campus classes meet from 6-10 p.m. one night weekly.

ADVANCED STANDING

Credit may be granted to students who have had comparable courses at a regionally accredited college or university.

Students who have earned credits at a nationally accredited institution may transfer credits conditionally. Only

those grades of C or better in similar courses will be transferred after receipt of an official transcript from the

institution. Students who have earned associate degrees at other regionally accredited colleges and universities

will have 90 hours transferred into baccalaureate programs.

CLASS ABSENCES


Traditional Students: Students could be withdrawn from a class during the first seven weeks of the quarter if the

following applies:

4 consecutive days absent from a daily class

3 consecutive days absent from an odd or even day class

2 consecutive days absent from an evening class

Distance Learning Students: Students will automatically be withdrawn from a class after the first week if the course

has not been accessed. If students do not maintain weekly contact or complete assignments, they may be withdrawn

from the class.

If a student decides to drop a class, the student needs to contact the Registrar to withdraw from the class. The

student will be taken out of the class as of the date the Registrar is notified.

The University reserves the right to withdraw students who fail to attend classes regularly or to prepare assignments.


Excused Absences: The University excuses the following absences:

• Three days for death in the immediate family

• Subpoena to court to testify

76

• Birth of Child (of whom you are the parent)

• Military Service

• Jury Duty

• School-supported function

• Inclement weather (documentation required)

• Emergency medical treatment/hospitalization (documentation required;excludes office visits)

This means these days are excused for grade point penalty, final and the absence. However, due to the nature of the

College of Applied Technologies courses, all missed assignments must be made up. If the student misses more than

one week of training, it is recommended that he/she should withdraw and retake the class over in its entirety. Verifiable

documentation is required (dates and contact information).

Technology students may be withdrawn from courses if they are absent for five days throughout the session.

Documentation must be provided to the instructor in a timely manner to verify an excused absence to remain in

courses for the session.

WITHDRAWAL OR HIATUS

To insure that a student’s withdrawal from the University of Northwestern Ohio is processed in a proper fashion, a

student contemplating withdrawal should meet with a Counselor in the Student Services Building prior to leaving

campus. Documentation is requested when withdrawal is associated with medical or military reasons. Students

residing in the dorms must also sign an exit sheet at the Housing Office, and students who have loans must also meet

with the Financial Aid Office.

To receive a refund of all or part of the instructional fees paid for a term, students must follow the above withdrawal

procedure. The date used in calculating the amount of fees to be charged will be the date on which the completed

official withdrawal request is approved. Withdrawals completed prior to the midpoint of the quarter/session will

result in grades of WPs (Withdrawal Passing) or WSs (Withdrawal Satisfactory). Withdrawals completed after the

midpoint of the quarter/session will result in WFs (Withdrawal Failing) or WUs (Withdrawal Unsatisfactory).

Students who do not maintain continuous enrollment at the University will be updated to the program requirements

found in the catalog in effect at the time of their return. This may delay graduation if new courses are required in the

current requirements.

For military withdrawal, please see page 36.

DROP/ADD

Students who wish to withdraw from a course after the quarter starts or change their academic program must

contact the Office of the Registrar. Current students in the College of Business, College of Health Professions, and

College of Occupational Professions can change their schedule in MyUNOH during the pre-registration and late

registration periods.

Students must withdraw within the first half of the quarter/session to avoid failing grades. Courses may be added

during the late change period during the first five days of the term by visiting the Registrar’s Office or by emailing

[email protected] and only if the student is already scheduled for the related term.

PROGRAM REQUIREMENT (CATALOG YEAR) UPDATES

The catalog year for program requirements will be updated to the current catalog in the following situations:

1. When changing an existing program to a new program

2. When changing degree levels between diploma, associate degree, or baccalaureate degree programs

(Adding the Alternate Fuels or CDL options in the College of Applied Technologies are exceptions.)


77

3. When adding a program in the College of Business, College of Health Professions, and College of

Occupational Professions to existing programs, the program being added will be updated to the current

catalog requirements.

4. When returning to classes after one or more term of non-attendance

ACADEMIC STANDINGS

Students’ academic records are reviewed by the Academic Qualifications Committee at the end of each term. At that

time, those students whose g.p.a. for the term or for the accumulative g.p.a. is below the required g.p.a. may be

placed on warning, probation, suspension, or dismissal.

During the time students are at the University, they must meet the following grade standards or be subject to

academic action:

Minimum Completed Credit Hours

Class Level GPA Standard Diploma/Certificate Associate/Baccalaureate

Freshman 1.75 1-29 hours 1-44 hours

Freshman 2.00 30+ hours 45+ hours

Sophomore 2.00 30+ hours 45+ hours

Junior 2.00 30+ hours 45+ hours

Senior 2.00 30+ hours 45+ hours

Only credit hours completed at UNOH are computed into the grade point average. Other kinds of credit, such as

transfer, exams, prior learning experiences, etc. do not count in g.p.a.

Based on their term g.p.a. or accumulative g.p.a., students will receive the following academic notifications:

Good Standing

Students with the designated accumulative g.p.a.s or better are in good academic standing.

Academic Warning

Students earning less than the required g.p.a. for a term, but whose accumulative g.p.a. is above the minimum

required, will be placed on academic warning.

Academic Probation

Students whose accumulative g.p.a. falls below the minimum required will be placed on Academic Probation. They

will then have one term for the College of Business, College of Health Professions, and College of Occupational

Professions and two terms for the College of Applied Technologies to raise their accumulative average to the

minimum required or they may be considered for suspension.

Academic Suspension

Students who are on probation and do not raise their accumulative average to the designated g.p.a. may be

academically suspended for a minimum of one session or quarter. Any dorm student who is academically suspended

must sign an exit sheet at the Housing Office.

Suspended students must make a written appeal for re-admission. Students’ letters should explain the reason for

the low g.p.a. and the steps they plan to take to raise their g.p.a. to a level of “good standing.” The letters should be

submitted to the Director of Advising. Students must also meet with Danielle McClure in the Academic Skills Lab to

prepare an academic success plan. This appeal must be approved by the Academic Qualifications Committee and/

or the Vice President for Academic Affairs/Provost.

Academic Dismissal

After re-admission into the University, students who do not meet the requirements may be permanently dismissed.

Students who fail the same course three times may be permanently dismissed.


78

Students who fail to make academic progress toward graduation for three consecutive sessions or two quarters may

also be subject to dismissal. The Academic Qualifications Committee and/or the Vice President for Academic

Affairs/Provost may accelerate a student’s dismissal for lack of academic progress.

After a seven-year hiatus, students who were dismissed from the University may apply for re-admission under the

Second Chance provision. They must provide documentation that would support their claim that they could

successfully complete an academic program.

For graduation, students must have an accumulative grade point average of 2.00 or higher. In addition, they must

successfully complete all courses in their programs.

The University of Northwestern Ohio has instituted an Academic Outcomes Assessment program to measure students’

academic achievement.

Course syllabi indicate the goals and objectives which enable students to meet the desired University outcomes.

During their programs formative students’ achievements are evaluated. At the end of their programs, summative

assessments are conducted in a one-hour course Portfolio Capstone (UN292 for associate degree; UN490 for

baccalaureate degree).

The University is committed to helping students achieve their academic goals.

EVENING PROGRAM

In the College of Business, programs offered in the evening are designed to serve the needs of the students interested

in furthering their education in Accounting and Business Administration.

Traditional classes for the degree programs meet Monday through Thursday evening beginning at 5:45 p.m. As part

of the evening program, various continuing education courses are offered each quarter. These courses are designed

to meet the educational needs of adults within the Lima community.


79

ONE-NIGHT-A-WEEK DEGREES FOR ADULTS

On-campus one-night-a-week programs are available--the Associate of Applied Business Degree in Business

Administration, the Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Administration, and the Bachelor of Science Degree in

Specialized Studies. These programs meet one evening each week from 6-10 p.m.

offered through the Virtual College (VC) program. Working adults may apply for admission to this unique program,

which provides the opportunity for non-traditional students to study independently.

Those prospective students must be self-motivated since the program is rigorous and self-directed. Faculty are

available for personal consultation through a variety of media, including e-mail. All course work must be completed

within each quarter.

Faculty may be reached by chat, e-mail, fax and phone.

ARTICULATION AGREEMENTS WITH OTHER COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES

As a baccalaureate-degree-granting institution, the University of Northwestern Ohio accepts students who have

completed associate degrees from other regionally accredited colleges and universities toward four-year programs

in accounting, health care administration, and business administration (with additional concentrations in

agribusiness management, automotive management, and marketing). Formal articulation agreements have been

signed with James A. Rhodes State College, Owens College, Ivy Technical College, and Edison State Community

College. Graduates from their two-year programs in the specific discipline articulate into the University’s 2+2

programs as juniors. Credits from the associate degree at the University of Northwestern Ohio transfer into the

University’s baccalaureate programs.

The University of Northwestern Ohio associate degree graduates in other major programs have articulation

opportunities at many other colleges and universities. Students who wish to transfer to another college or university

for a baccalaureate degree should check with the Admissions Office at that particular institution for transferability

of credits.

INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCES

UNOH students have the opportunity to experience other countries and cultures and to act as Student Ambassadors

for Understanding. Two annual study trips are available. For the International Travel course, the students fly to

London or another major city in Europe and visit many diverse sights. The destination varies annually and includes

other European countries. Students may earn 3 hours of elective college credit. Students must be in good academic

and social standing at the University to participate. The International Travel course may be taken only twice for

credit.

In the spring, students in the Travel and Hotel Management major take a cruise to the Caribbean and/or Mexico to

learn that segment of the travel industry.

CLASS MEETING TIMES

Day and evening classes in the College of Business, College of Health Professions, and College of Occupational

Professions are held 12 months a year. Daytime classes begin at 8 a.m., Monday through Friday. Evening classes

begin at 5:45 p.m., Monday through Thursday. The accelerated classes are scheduled one night a week from 6-10 p.m.

In the College of Applied Technologies morning classes begin at 7:30 a.m., afternoon classes start at 1:00 p.m., and

evening classes start at 6:30 p.m. Morning, afternoon, and evening classes are held Monday through Thursday.

COLLEGE OF APPLIED TECHNOLOGIES’ SCHEDULING INFORMATION

Students’ schedules are designed for them by the Registrar each six-week session. Schedules are posted online

during the third week of each term. If a schedule change is necessary, see the Registrar’s Office immediately after the

schedule is posted. An attempt will be made to accommodate the request but it cannot be guaranteed.

It is the students’ responsibility to check their schedules on MyUNOH and request any necessary changes. It is also

the students’ responsibility to check that their time preference is correct. Contact the Registrar’s Office to update

your time preference.

All students are scheduled according to their seniority in the College of Applied Technologies. The order of priority

scheduling is categorized as follows: current, new, and then returning students. In each of these groups, scheduling

is based on courses needed, time preference, and graduation date.

If there is a schedule conflict or you have not been scheduled, please contact the Registrar for the College of Applied

Technologies.


81

CLASS LOAD

Students in the Graduate College carry a load of 8 credits to be full time and 4 credits to be part time.

Students carrying a minimum of 12 quarter hours in the College of Business, College of Health Professions, and

College of Occupational Professions are considered to be full-time students. The average class load is 16 to 18

quarter hours.

Students in the College of Applied Technologies carrying one class of 6 credit hours are considered full-time

students.

DUAL MAJORS

Students may add an additional major in the College of Business, College of Health Professions, and College of

Occupational Professions or College of Applied Technologies, which will necessitate additional credit hours. For

example, a student may elect a dual major in Business Administration and Marketing which will require a total of

128 credit hours for an associate degree. In the College of Applied Technologies, a student may elect a dual major in

Diesel Technology and High Performance/Motorsports Technology which will require a total of 184 credit hours.

Dual majors are also available in the baccalaureate degree programs. Dual majors must be declared with the

Registrar’s Office and will always require additional hours.

Associate degree programs require courses at the 100 and 200 level, while baccalaureate degree programs require

courses at the 300 and 400 level. Students must schedule courses at the appropriate level for each degree. Dual

majors with a combination of an associate degree and a baccalaureate degree cannot use one course to satisfy

required or elective credits in both the associate and baccalaureate degree.

INCLEMENT WEATHER

The University of Northwestern Ohio rarely cancels classes due to weather conditions. However, if closing the

University becomes necessary, an announcement will be made over the local and area TV and radio stations by 7

p.m. for early morning classes (College of Applied Technologies), by 6 a.m. for day classes and 4 p.m. for evening

classes. Students may also call the voice mailbox at 419-998-9689 after 7 p.m. and after 6 a.m. to check on

cancellations. When a delay is necessary, for example, the 8 a.m. class will begin at 10 a.m. Students can also sign

up for Racers Alerts to be delivered by text or email. Sign up at the MyUNOH Portal.

ACADEMIC ADJUSTMENTS GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE

The University of Northwestern Ohio has adopted an internal grievance procedure providing prompt and equitable

resolution of complaints alleging any action prohibited by the U.S. Department of Justice regulations implementing

Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Title II states, in part, that “no otherwise qualified disabled

individual shall, solely by reason of such disability, be excluded from the participation in, be denied the benefits of

or be subjected to discrimination in programs or activities sponsored by a public entity.”

Complaints should be addressed to 504 Officer, University of Northwestern Ohio, 419-998-3157, who has been

designated to coordinate ADA compliance efforts.

1. A complaint should be filed in writing or verbally, contain the name and address of the person filing it and

briefly describe the alleged violation of the regulations.

2. A complaint should be filed within 10 days after the complainant becomes aware of the alleged violation.

(Processing of allegations of discrimination, which occurred before this grievance procedure was in place, will

be considered on a case-by-case basis.)

3. An investigation, as may be appropriate, shall follow a filing of complaint. The investigation shall be conducted

by Cheryl Mueller, Ph.D., Vice President for Academic Affairs/Provost. These rules contemplate informal, but


82

thorough, investigations, affording all interested persons and their representatives, if any, an opportunity to

submit evidence relevant to a complaint.

4. A written determination as to the validity of the complaint and a description of the resolution, if any, shall be

issued by Cheryl Mueller, Ph.D., Vice President for Academic Affairs/Provost, and a copy forwarded to the

complainant no later than 30 days after its filing.

5. The ADA Coordinator shall maintain the files and records of the University of Northwestern Ohio relating to the

complaints filed.

6. Complainants can request a reconsideration of the case in instances where they are dissatisfied with the

resolution. The request for reconsideration should be made within 10 days to President Jeffrey Jarvis.

7. The right of a person to a prompt and equitable resolution of the complaint filed hereunder shall not be

impaired by the person’s pursuit of other remedies such as the filing of an ADA complaint with the responsible

federal department of agency. Use of this grievance procedure is not a prerequisite to the pursuit of other

remedies.

8. These rules shall be construed to protect the substantive rights of interested persons to meet appropriate due

process standards and to assure that the University of Northwestern Ohio complies with the ADA and implementing

regulations.
