A Successful Past ... A Promising Future Since opening its doors as a technical institute under the jurisdiction of the Ohio Department of Education in 1965, Owens Community College has grown by leaps and bounds. In 1967, the Ohio Board of Regents chartered the College as a technical college. In 1983, Owens opened its Findlay-area Campus at Cory and Davis streets in Findlay, Ohio. And in 1994, the College was chartered as a comprehensive state community college with a district encompassing Lucas, Wood and Hancock counties and parts of Ottawa and Sandusky counties. With less than 200 students in the first classes offered in Toledo to the more than 45,000 students served annually on the Findlay and Toledo campuses today, Owens Community College is one of the fastest-growing higher educational institutions in Ohio. In addition to growing enrollment, expanding program choices and new, modern facilities combine to make Owens Community College a national leader in higher education. The Toledo-area Campus added six buildings in the span of a decade, concluding with the opening of the Center for Fine and Performing Arts in 2003. The Center for Emergency Preparedness, which opened in 2006, provides full-size training props for first responders to practice rescue and recovery maneuvers in a controlled environment. Training buildings and props include an emergency operations center with classrooms and laboratories, a maintenance/storage facility, a mock city using prefabricated buildings with facades to simulate business and residential buildings, an aircraft fire prop and a shipboard fire prop. In August 2005, the new Findlay-area Campus opened just east of Interstate 75, Exit 161 at the convergence of Township Road 212 and Bright Road. And construction of the second building phase on the new Findlay-area Campus was completed in 2007. This phase includes the Community Education and Wellness Center, which features a multipurpose room that seats up to 500 as well as a fitness center, volleyball court, basketball court, wireless classroom, computer labs and open bay shop areas with attached classrooms. And there’s more on the horizon.The ways in which we make your success our mission won’t stop as Owens Community College’s future promises to be just as exciting as its successful past.

Assessment of Student Learning At Owens Community College, assessment is a high priority in helping the College maintain a high-quality learning environment for all students. Purpose
The purpose of assessing student learning is to help the College determine the extent to which it is fulfilling its mission of educating students. Assessment allows the College to make improvements in program structure, course content and pedagogy.
Assessing Student Learning at the Program Level
Assessment at the program level provides a clear sense of what the program is designed to accomplish and what students who complete the program should know, understand, and be able to do when they graduate. Ultimately, the assessment process yields data that informs faculty and other decision-makers about relevant issues impacting the program, classroom instruction and student learning. These data are used as a relevant foundation to support recommendations for program improvement.
Assessing Student Learning at the Institutional Level
Assessment monitors the competence of students, not just in terms of expertise in their program of study, but also with respect to the attainment of a general education. All degree-seeking students at Owens must complete a core of courses to provide a foundation that aids in the achievement of general education competencies in writing, oral communication, mathematics and computer skills. In addition to the core competency categories mentioned above, the College has identified a number of other important components of its General Education Program. Owens Community College encourages and supports initiatives at the personal, departmental and college-wide levels that help students develop and augment those values and skills necessary for living in an increasingly complex and ever-changing global environment. These components of the College’s General Education Core include critical thinking, ethics and diversity. Students will find additional information on the College’s General Education Core in this catalog.
Student’s Role
Students are assessed at all levels of institutional operations, including program and general education levels, at different points during their academic career at Owens. Typically, assessment is embedded within the teaching function of Owens and occurs during each student’s regular academic effort. The student’s role is very important in the assessment process. Indeed, student participation is an essential component of a successful program. Through participation and the demonstration of competence in course material as well as general education core competencies, the College is able to get a series of snapshots of a student’s performance. This information is listed on the Owens Community College Web site, www.owens.edu.

What is eOwens?
eOwens is the name for the distance learning program and courses at Owens Community College. The primary advantage of eOwens is that it allows you to pursue College courses and degrees without coming to the campus on a regular basis. This method of learning is more convenient for those whose work and family obligations make it difficult for them to attend classes offered on campus during traditionally scheduled hours. It does, however, offer some unique challenges that can make it more challenging than taking on-campus courses.
Why eOwens?
• The ability to obtain complete degrees via eOwens courses • Convenience in taking classes in the comfort of your home or office • Flexible scheduling … work on your course anytime instead of specific times and days as with a campus-based class • Students often find that they communicate more with faculty and classmates in online eOwens environments • Cut back on commute time by eliminating the need to drive to campus on a weekly basis, find a parking space, and walk to class
Degrees Offered via eOwens
The Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools has approved Owens Community College to offer any and all its degrees via eOwens delivery. You can choose to take all eOwens courses within any of the following programs: • Associate of Applied Business, e-Business • Associate of Applied Business, Information Systems Technology • Associate of Applied Business, Business Management • Associate of Applied Science, Registered Nursing (Hybrid program with on-campus requirements) • Associate of Arts • Associate of Science You can also take eOwens courses in conjunction with any of the College’s on-campus programs and curriculum.
eOwens Web (Online) Courses

Finding Available eOwens Courses
To search for Web or telecourses that will be offered in an upcoming semester and to see if any spots are available, go to our online Class Schedule located at http://www.owens.edu/cgi-bin/class.pl.
Myths of e-Learning
• Instructor is available 24/7, whenever you need assistance – Instructors are not always available, but they will inform you of their time frame in responding to your e-mail and online postings. • e-Learning classes are easier – e-Learning is very different than on-campus courses. The eOwens student has to be more motivated, organized and flexible, possess good written communication skills, and be technically proficient. This method of learning is often more difficult for many students. • You do not have to follow a schedule – eOwens courses follow the same semester schedule as on-campus courses. In most cases, assignments are due on a weekly basis and must be submitted online or according to instructor specifications. There are generally no set times that you will have to be logged on, but a minimum of 2 times per week is recommended to check for course updates and changes. • e-Learning classes are independent study courses – You will find that e-Learning often requires you to communicate and collaborate with other students in your course. e-Learning can become a more collaborative learning experience than on-campus courses. • You never have to come to the campus – In some courses you may not have to come to the campus, but many eOwens instructors require on-site testing. If you are outside of the geographic area of one of the College’s Testing Centers, a proctoring arrangement is possible. This means that you would take your exams at an institution near your home. Proctoring information is available on the e-Learning Web site.

What if I Am Outside of the College Geographical Area?
Getting Started
If you are outside of the College geographic area and sign up for an Owens Community College eOwens course, you may have to arrange for test proctoring if your instructor requires on-campus testing. The College’s Testing Center will provide assistance with this service. When you enroll in the course, you should notify your instructor that you are seeking a proctoring arrangement. To find the name of a specific course instructor, search the Class Schedule listed below. See https://www.owens.edu/testing/dist_test.html.
For specific requirements visit https://www.owens.edu/distance_ed/technical.html.
If you do feel that eOwens is right for you, how you get started will depend upon your needs. We recommended that you contact the College’s Enrollment Services Office to discuss your first steps. Phone numbers are throughout the Catalog.

Residency and Reciprocity Students
If a student is not an Ohio resident, the student will be charged out-of-state instructional and general fees. However, there are occasions when students who are not Ohio residents are eligible for in-state instructional and general fee rates. To find out if a student is eligible for in-state rates, refer to Residency and/or Reciprocity in the Policies and Procedures section of this Catalog. To be considered for in-state rates, an application must be filed. All Monroe County residents must apply for reciprocity in order to determine eligibility. Applications for in-state rates are available in the Office of the Registrar or online at www.owens.edu (see page 76 for more information).
Selective Service Registration
The Ohio Legislature has enacted a law requiring all eligible students to register for Selective Service in order to be eligible for various benefits. Owens Community College and all other public-assisted institutions are required to certify eligible students’ registration to the Ohio Board of Regents. Male students between the ages of 18 and 26 must register for Selective Service. Failure to register will result in the College being required to charge out-of-state tuition and fees. Also, students not registered for Selective Service may not be eligible for federal and state financial aid. To register for Selective Service, visit any area post office, register at www.sss.gov or call (847) 688-6888.

Selective Admissions Programs
A number of programs and majors require additional test scores or materials to be sent to the College. When all required materials have been received by the College, students are considered for acceptance into these areas. Programs with additional requirements include all School of Health Sciences programs, Early Childhood Education, Early Admit and Post-Secondary Enrollment Option for high school students. Students applying for admission to any of these areas should refer to the specific program or major in the Program Areas section of this Catalog.
Selective Health Admissions – Acceptance to Owens Community College does not ensure acceptance to a particular program or major. If you are majoring in any School of Health Sciences program, there are additional responsibilities that you must meet before you are evaluated and formally accepted into the program. Be certain you understand the answers to the following three questions: 1. What must I do to be evaluated for admission into a program/major in which I am interested?
2. What is the deadline date for evaluation for the program/ major in which I am interested? 3. What must I do to be accepted into that program/major?
To clarify these questions or for more information, contact the Office of Enrollment Services.
Early Admission Policies
College Hall Room 130, Toledo-area Campus • (567) 661-7777 Room 150, Findlay-area Campus • (567) 429-3509 High school students may obtain early admission to Owens Community College under two different programs: Early Admission and Post-Secondary Enrollment Options Program. There are several important differences between these programs, including funding sources.
Early Admission
Early admission recognizes the desire for some high school students to experience college-level coursework, supplement their high school curriculum, enjoy courses of special interest and/or accumulate college credit. Coursework may be applied toward a program at Owens Community College or be transferred to another college or university according to that institution’s transfer policy.

Students currently enrolled in high school must submit the written consent of their high school guidance counselor or principal, college application and high school transcript. To be successful, early admission requires pre-admission advising. Students are required to meet with the Owens Community College Enrollment Services staff prior to registration. Applicants under 19 years of age, who have not graduated from high school or are not currently enrolled in high school, must meet with an Owens Community College Enrollment Services Representative prior to registration. A college representative will contact the high school the applicant last attended. All early admission students must achieve certain scores on the Owens Community College placement test, needed for placement into college-level coursework. Early admission students must achieve college-level scores on the reading, writing and math assessments. Applicants may waive COMPASS if their ACT scores are Math 20, Reading 22 and English 21 or SAT scores are Math 425 and Verbal 425. Students with exceptional circumstances or special needs who do not meet admissions standards may apply for special consideration with a letter of support from a high school principal or guidance counselor. These students and their parents are required to meet with an Enrollment Services Advisor.
Post-Secondary Enrollment Options
Under the Post-Secondary Enrollment Options Program (PSO), high school students may enroll for high school and/or college credit at Owens Community College. Students may enroll in classes on the Toledo-area Campus and Findlay-area Campus, or take selected Post-Secondary Enrollment classes at their home high schools. The same standards for entry into the Post-Secondary Enrollment Options Program apply for on-campus or off-campus classes. The Post-Secondary Enrollment Options Program has two options:
Option A
Students may enroll for college credit only and the student is responsible for tuition, fees and books.
Option B
Students may enroll for high school and college credit. The state of Ohio and the student’s home school pay the tuition, fees and book expenses. Students are responsible for all course expenses beyond their text and workbooks. This includes software, art and photography supplies, calculators, health and fitness expenses and general school supplies.

Preparation for transfer begins the first semester at Owens Community College. The Enrollment Services Office is available to assist students with the transfer process. The following list of recommendations should assist those students: • Students should meet with an Enrollment Services Advisor • The Enrollment Services Office has transfer information available including catalogs, applications, scholarship information and transfer guides. Transfer information also is available on the Course Applicability System (CAS), located at www.transfer.org. Students can access transfer course-equivalents, telephone numbers of advisors, articulation agreements and campus visit information. Enrollment Services also provides information on campus visits, articulation agreements and contact information for advisors at the four-year institutions. • Early in the academic experience at Owens Community College, students should meet with a representative at the institution to which they are planning to transfer. The Owens Community College Office of Enrollment Services has information on area institutions.
• It is a separate issue whether this transfer credit applies to the student’s major at the receiving institution. • Be aware that developmental courses will not be applicable to any degree program. Students transferring to Owens Community College: Owens Community College strives to provide a smooth transition for students transferring in from other higher education institutions. The following list of recommendations may help those students: • Students need to request an official copy of academic transcripts from all institutions attended, and the transcripts must be mailed directly to the Office of the Registrar. Academic credit is not posted to a student’s record until all official transcripts are received and evaluated by the Office of the Registrar. • Students should bring a copy of academic transcripts from all institutions attended to their Enrollment Services appointments to assist in assessing academic readiness and transfer credit.

Institutional Transfer
The Ohio Board of Regents, following the directive of the Ohio General Assembly, developed a statewide policy to facilitate transferring credits from one Ohio public college or university to another. Since independent colleges and universities in Ohio may or may not be participating in the transfer policy, students interested in transferring to an independent institution are encouraged to check with the college or university of their choice regarding transfer agreements.
Transfer Module
The Ohio Board of Regents’ Transfer and Articulation Policy established the Transfer Module, which is a specific subset of the entire set of a college or university’s general education requirements. The Transfer Module contains 36-40 semester hours (or 54-60 quarter hours) of specified course credits in English, mathematics, arts and humanities, social and behavioral sciences, natural and physical sciences and interdisciplinary study. A Transfer Module completed at one college or university will automatically meet the requirements of the Transfer Module at the receiving institution, once the student is admitted. Students may be required, however, to meet additional general education requirements that are not included in the Transfer Module. A Transfer Module at Owens Community College consists of a minimum of 36 semester hours of credit. Students will be expected to take at least the minimum number of course hours from each area as listed. Students must select 12 additional credit hours from any of the academic categories labeled with an *.

Conditions for Transfer Admission
Students meeting the requirements of the Transfer Module are subject to the following conditions: 1. The policy encourages receiving institutions to give preferential consideration for admission to students who complete the Transfer Module and either the Associate of Arts or the Associate of Science degree. These students will be able to transfer all courses in which they received a passing grade of D or better. Students must have an overall grade point average of 2.0 to be given credit for the Transfer Module. 2. As of Fall 2005, Ohio public institutions of higher education are to accept and apply all transfer coursework with a letter of “D” as the institution would for a native student under the business rules and academic policies of the receiving institution. These business rules and policies may include, but are not limited to, such areas as effective course dates, age of coursework, requirements of a particular major or program and eligibility. This policy does not override institutional admission standards and/or requirements of entrance into a specific academic program. 3. Admission to Owens Community College does not guarantee that a transfer student will be automatically admitted to all majors, minors or fields of concentration at that institution. Once admitted, transfer students shall be subject to the same regulations governing applicability of Catalog requirements as all other students. Transfer students will be given the same class standing and other privileges as native students on the basis of the number of credits earned. All residency requirements must be successfully completed at the receiving institution prior to granting a degree.
Responsibilities of Student
In order to facilitate transfer with maximum applicability of transfer credit, prospective transfer students should plan a course of study that will meet the requirements of a degree program at the receiving institution. Specifically, students should identify early in their collegiate studies an institution and major to which they desire to transfer. Furthermore, students should determine if there are language requirements or any special course requirements that can be met during the freshman or sophomore year. This will enable students to plan and pursue a course of study that will articulate with the receiving institution’s major. Students are encouraged to seek further information regarding transfer from both their advisor and the college or university to which they plan to transfer.
Appeal Process
The Ohio Board of Regents requires that a multi-level, broadbased appeal process be in place at each institution of higher education within the State of Ohio. A student who disagrees with the application of transfer credit at Owens Community College shall be informed of their right to appeal the decision made by the Office of the Registrar. Students who wish to appeal a transfer credit decision shall file a formal appeal through the Office of the Provost and Executive Vice President.

• Students should be aware that schedule changes, either adding or dropping credit hours, might affect fees. Students may wish to determine the impact on tuition, fees and financial aid before changing schedules. All officially registered students are subject to the College’s refund policies, as detailed in the College Catalog. To be eligible for a refund, students must follow the official withdrawal procedures. The date of withdrawal processed through the Office of the Registrar is the date used to determine the amount of tuition and fees that are refunded. Lack of attendance does not constitute eligibility to receive refunds, or guarantee the waiver of college fees. Information on refund deadlines for specific courses is available online and at the Bursar’s Office. Contact the Toledo-area Campus at (567) 661-7220 or 1-800-GO-OWENS, Ext. 7220 and Findlay-area Campus at (567) 429-3550 or 1-800-GO-OWENS, Ext. 3550. For students receiving Title IV federal financial aid assistance, the Higher Education Amendments of 1998 contains new regulations governing what must happen to your federal financial aid if you completely withdraw from or stop attending classes during the semester. Questions on these policies should be directed to the Financial Aid Office, Toledo-area Campus, at (567) 661-7343 or 1-800- GO-OWENS, Ext. 7343 or (567) 429-3540 or 1-800-GO-OWENS, Ext. 3540 on the Findlay-area Campus. As part of the Higher Education Amendments of 1998, Congress passed new regulations governing what must happen to a student’s federal financial aid if the student completely withdraws from school in any semester. Federal law requires the College to calculate the amount of federal financial aid a student has earned if that student withdraws or stops attending before completing the semester. Questions regarding these regulations should be addressed to the Financial Aid Office.

To apply for financial aid, students must: • Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as soon after January 1 as possible. You can apply electronically using “FAFSA on the Web” at www.fafsa.ed.gov. • If a loan is desired, when completing the FAFSA answer “yes” to the question asking if you are interested in a student loan and your expected enrollment status should be answered as at least half time. • Apply for admission and provide an official transcript to the Office of the Registrar verifying that you have earned a high school diploma or GED. The certificate of completion does not meet the high school diploma requirement. • Students who do not have a high school diploma or GED should complete the College’s COMPASS test and submit a copy of these test scores. Minimum required scores are: 32 – writing, 62 – reading and 25 – pre-algebra. It is important to respond quickly to all requests for additional information.
Enrollment
Owens Community College uses a “freeze” date each semester to determine a student’s enrollment status for awarding financial aid. The courses for which a student is enrolled in on the freeze date are used to calculate the amount of federal financial aid the student will receive. This means that if a student adds or drops classes before the freeze date, the amount of financial aid for which the student is eligible will be affected. If classes are added or dropped after the freeze date, the financial aid will not change. Exceptions to this policy are students receiving Stafford loans who must be enrolled for a minimum of six credit hours at the time of loan disbursement, and students who withdraw and/or stop attending all of their classes. These students will have their financial aid recalculated based on their withdrawal date or last day of attendance.
If a student totally withdraws or stops attending classes during the semester, the student could owe a refund to a grant program, to the College, and/or impact financial aid eligibility for future aid. Additional information about the recalculation policy is available in the Office of Financial Aid.
Attendance Verification
To be eligible for federal financial aid, attendance in class must be verified. Instructors will provide attendance information directly to the Office of Financial Aid. Once attendance has been verified, any refund checks to which a student is entitled will be mailed to the student. Direct deposits of financial aid refunds into your checking or savings account is also available. Contact the Bursar’s Office for more information.
Financial Aid Eligibility
Eligibility for most financial aid programs is based on demonstrated financial need of the student and/or the student’s family and on registered credit hours. For federal and state financial aid programs a student must: • Be a citizen, national or permanent resident of the United States. Certain persons in process of becoming citizens or permanent residents also may be eligible. To be eligible for federal financial aid programs (Pell, FSEOG, Federal Work Study, Federal Stafford Loan, Federal PLUS Loan), a student also must: • Be accepted by the college for admission and demonstrate the ability to benefit from the selected program of study.

Dependent students can borrow up to $3,500 for the first year and $4,500 the second year, up to a cumulative maximum of $23,000.

Two Stafford Loan types: • The Federal Subsidized Stafford Loan is a need-based loan for
Disability Services (567) 661-7007 - Both Campuses
which the interest is paid by the government while the student is in school at least half-time. The Office of Financial Aid determines eligibility using federal government guidelines.
• The Federal Unsubsidized Stafford Loan is a loan that does
not require financial need. However, total financial aid, which includes the unsubsidized loan, cannot exceed the cost of education. Unlike the subsidized Stafford loan, interest accrues while the student is attending school and can be paid monthly or capitalized (added to the principal) until the student leaves school. The Office of Financial Aid determines eligibility using federal government guidelines.
Federal Parent Loan (PLUS) – Parents can borrow funds to cover educational costs for their dependent students. Students must be enrolled in a minimum of 6 credit hours and meet minimum Ability to Benefit criteria. Interest is fixed at 8.5% for loans disbursed after July 1, 2006. Repayment begins when the loan is fully disbursed, with the first payment generally due within 60 days. There is no financial need required to be eligible. However, the total financial aid cannot exceed the cost of education. The applicant’s credit history will be evaluated in determining loan eligibility. Apply online for the Plus loan at the Loans section of the Owens Financial Aid Web page at www.owens.edu/financial_aid.

Academic Policies and Procedures
Academic Policies and Procedures Academic Dismissal Policy
A student is subject to academic dismissal if he or she has been on academic probation for one semester and does not achieve the required cumulative grade point average for the hours attempted during the next semester in which enrolled (see Academic Probation Policy on page 62). Academic dismissal prohibits the student from enrolling in the College for one semester. (Summer semester is not considered as a semester of prohibited enrollment unless the summer semester is required in the specific program of study). Students may be granted readmission by completing an academic plan prior to the first class meeting for the semester in which they plan to enroll. (Students in the School of Health Sciences are required to have their plan submitted and approved by the appropriate Department Chair and the Dean of the School of Health Sciences). The most appropriate time for students to complete this plan and select classes is two months prior to the beginning of the semester in which they hope to enroll. International Students may be granted readmission by completing an academic plan with the International Student Enrollment Administrator prior to the first class meeting for the semester in which they plan to enroll. (Students in the School of Health Sciences are required to have their plan submitted and approved by the appropriate Department Chair and the Dean of the School of Heath Sciences). Students who change from one program of study to another while on academic probation will not be subject to academic dismissal provided they achieve a 2.0 GPA each semester in their new program of study. The 2.0 GPA required excludes developmental education coursework.
Program Readmission/Continuation
A student who fails required courses within a major, or fails to achieve the stipulated 2.0 GPA in courses within a technical major must meet specific program policies for readmission or continuation in the program. Before a student may continue
or be readmitted into the program, an academic plan must be approved and on file. An academic plan is completed through the Center for Teaching and Learning. Students should see their Department Chair or Dean concerning the policy for their program of study. (Also, see Readmission Policies and Procedures on page 71). Findlay-area Campus students should see the appropriate academic administrative personnel in the instructional office.
Academic Forgiveness Policy
The Academic Forgiveness Policy is a means by which, under certain circumstances, a student’s grade point average can be adjusted. Specifically, if a student changes from one technology program to another or has not been enrolled at Owens for a number of years, the student may be eligible for application of this policy. Academic forgiveness can be applied once. However, once the policy is applied, it is irrevocable and cannot be appealed (The student may not apply for both categories under this policy). The student should initiate the petition for academic forgiveness. (A form is available in the College’s Office of the Registrar and Academic School Offices.) The program’s Department Chair will assist the student in preparing the petition. Approval of the School Dean will be required as part of the petitioning process. A final decision on the petition will be given in writing to the student within 30 days of the filing of the petition, with a copy of the decision placed in the student’s permanent record in the Office of the Registrar. Students planning to transfer to other colleges and universities should be aware that receiving institution policies may dictate that all grades earned will be used in computing GPA for admission and other purposes. The forgiveness policy must be applied for and completed prior to graduation.

Grade Point Adjustment with Program Change
Students who change from one area of study to another may be eligible to petition to have certain grades, earned in their earlier area of study, dropped from their grade point average computation. (“Undecided” is not a program and cannot be used to make a change.) A change from one major to another in the same program does not constitute an area of study change. A change from one Arts and Science concentration to another does not constitute a program of study change. Students who have changed their area of study may, upon completion of 75 percent of the coursework in the new associate degree program, petition to have all grades and honor points in courses, which are not applicable to their new program, removed from the calculation of the new cumulative grade point average. The student’s permanent record will indicate performance in all previously attempted coursework. Courses in developmental education are not eligible for this consideration. Excess Arts and Science coursework hours not required for meeting program general education requirements may be deleted at the student’s option. Once hours are deleted from inclusion in the student’s grade point computation, they may not be reinstated at any time in the future. This policy does not apply to students who graduate in one associate degree program and then enter a new program and does not include the completion of certificates.
Grade Point Adjustment Following Readmission to College
Many students returning to Owens Community College after years of absence wish to make a “fresh start” upon readmission to the College; however, poor prior academic performance or certain types of program changes burden them. This component of the Academic Forgiveness Policy recognizes that people’s lives change and conditions that resulted in unsatisfactory grades may no longer exist. The policy, therefore, is designed as a once-only opportunity to have low grades previously earned dropped from grade point average computation.
Students who have not enrolled at Owens for three or more calendar years and who complete the required readmission process, may petition to have grades deleted from grade point computation for the following – and only the following – courses:
BURSAR (567) 661-7220 - Toledo-area Campus (567) 429-3550 - Findlay-area Campus
1. All courses where grades of D, F or FNC were earned. 2. Courses that are no longer in a program, regardless of grade achieved. 3. Courses previously taken which are out-of-date. Students may petition to have grades forgiven after completing a minimum of 12 semester hours of credit, at a grade point average of 2.0 or better, following readmission to the College. The policy applies only to courses taken prior to readmission and may not be applied once an Ohio Board of Regents approved degree is given. Credit earned previously at Owens Community College (or Owens Technical College) for which the policy does not apply will be carried over at time of re-entry to the College.
Enrollment Services (567) 661-7777 - Toledo-area Campus (567) 429-3509 - Findlay-area Campus
All courses and grades will remain on a student’s academic transcript. However, courses dropped from grade point computation will have the notation, “Academic Forgiveness Applied”. Once the policy is applied, it is irrevocable and cannot be appealed. Course credits previously earned at the D level will be forfeited and can no longer be used to meet degree requirements. Furthermore, students are not eligible to complete a proficiency examination to meet the degree requirement for forfeited courses. The policy is applicable only to the first academic degree and, as noted above, may not be applied following the awarding of a degree. However, it may be applied following the awarding of certificates, but can never include courses used to meet certificate requirements. Students enrolled in selective health programs must abide by their respective program policies regarding readmission.

Academic Honors Policy
Students are eligible for semester honors at the end of a given semester if they complete six or more credit hours in that semester and earn a grade point average of 3.5 or above for all credit hours completed that semester. Students are eligible for graduation honors if they earn a cumulative grade point average of 3.5 or above for all coursework completed up to the point at which graduation honors are calculated. Honors are designated according to the following classifications: 4.0 - 3.91 summa cum laude, 3.9 - 3.8 magna cum laude, 3.79 - 3.5 cum laude.
Academic Probation Policy
Academic probation status serves as official notification that a student is not making acceptable progress toward graduation. Continuation of academic probation for a second semester may result in academic dismissal. A student will be placed on academic probation status if the student’s cumulative grade point average falls below the established minimum as stipulated below.
GPA Hours*
10-19 20-29 30-39 40-49 50-59 60 or above

(Notification of academic probation is provided through an official letter of notification from the College.) Academic probation may require a student to reduce course load, as determined by the Chair of the major area of study or an academic advisor. Students placed on academic probation are strongly encouraged to schedule an appointment with an academic advisor to develop a plan for resolving academic problems.

Adding a Second Major Policy
Students may enroll in more than one program of study at the same time, but must meet all requirements for both programs and majors. If there are technical electives in either of the majors, the electives must be different. That is, the courses from one major cannot meet technical elective requirements in both majors. Students pursuing more than one major must officially declare their intent by completing a Student Information Change form located in the Office of the Registrar or online through their Ozone account at www.owens.edu. This must be done prior to beginning coursework on the second major. Owens Findlay-area Campus students may obtain and return the form to the Office of the Registrar.
Adding Courses Policy
Students may add courses to their schedule after the first day of classes. (1) A student can register for any 16-week class through the 5th weekday of the term (excluding Saturday, Sunday and holidays). This also excludes Weekend College classes. Thereafter, a s student can only add a class with the instructor’s signature. (2) For courses which are less than a full semester (less than 16 weeks in length), a student may register until the first class meeting; thereafter, a student can add the course only with the instructor’s signature. (3) For technical courses that are part of a selective admissions program, no changes can be made without the approval of the instructor and department chair. After the 15th calendar day, a student may change sections of a course, if a situation occurs that is determined to be beyond the student’s control, permission of the new instructor is achieved, and approval of the appropriate department chair is achieved.

Age of Coursework Policy
In situations where coursework is six years old or older or where required skills may have been lost, transfer credit will not be accepted (see specific programs as age of coursework accepted may vary, especially health programs). Courses submitted for acceptance for program requirements will be subject to review and approval by the Department Chair. Courses reviewed that do not substantially meet current requirements and standards will not be approved for credit. Courses will be aged from the date of course completion. (Also see Graduation Requirements)
Articulation Agreements with Schools
Owens Community College has established articulation agreements with many area secondary schools. Advanced placement credit may be given for vocational graduates who have acquired a sufficient level of knowledge and demonstrated skills required in a technology program. Students who are interested in a waiver of credit through articulation should obtain information on opportunities and requirements, as well as an application through their high school guidance office, the College’s Enrollment Services Office or the Office of the Registrar.
Assessment Policy
Assessment determines the level of academic, personal and social readiness needed for a student to be successful in college. This policy supports the process of evaluating students’ academic skills for proper course placement. The information obtained during the assessment process is crucial to the proper advisement of students in course selection, in order to provide educational experiences that strengthen and enhance current levels of competence. Owens Community College recognizes that some students may enter the College with academic experiences, test results and educational goals that exclude them from assessment testing. The following waiver policy details the only cases for a student assessment test waiver:
COMPASS Waiver Policy
High School/GED Recipient - ACT cut-off scores less than two years old: Math 20, Reading 22 and English 21; SAT cut-off scores less than two years old: Math 425 and Verbal 425; CLEP - College Composition score of 47; English Composition score of 650 (4/80-4/86) or a score of 540 (5/86 to present); College Algebra-Trigonometry score of 45. Advanced Placement test scores from high schools may waive COMPASS.
College Transfer Applicant
COMPASS - COMPASS from Owens/other college over two years old is not accepted for waiver. CLEP - College Composition score of 47; English Composition score of 650 (4/80-4/86), 540 (5/86-present).

services process. It assesses reading, language usage and math. The COMPASS assessment scores are used to advise and register students in classes suited to their academic achievement and skill level in an effort to help ensure their academic success. Should the COMPASS results indicate that a student needs developmental courses in reading, writing or mathematics, satisfactory completion of developmental coursework is required before a student will be allowed to register for a college-level composition or mathematics course.
Auditing Courses Policy
Students sometimes wish to audit a course. To audit means to enroll for a course for some reason other than to receive a course grade and credit. An audited course will be noted as “AU” on a student’s transcript. For further information, contact the Office of Enrollment Services. An audit status must be indicated on the registration form and filed in the Office of the Registrar at the time of registration. Auditing a course does not create a waiver for any fee assessed. An audit must be declared by the first week of class.
Cancelled Classes
See Withdrawal of Course from Schedule on page 72.
Catalog of Record Policy
A student’s program requirements are those found in the program of instruction section of the College Catalog that was current at the time of initial enrollment at Owens Community College. If a student withdraws from the program and later reenters, the program requirements in the Catalog current at the time of re-entry are in effect. If a student changes programs, the requirements in the Catalog current at the time of the change are in effect. Since students are expected to know and follow all current policies and procedures, every student is encouraged to obtain a current Catalog each year. Students taking classes while awaiting commencement into selective health programs must
abide by their program policies regarding catalog of record.
Change of Program/Major
If a student wishes to change his/her program, he/she should meet with the appropriate Chair and/or with a representative from the Office of Academic Enhancement to discuss the new program selection. A Student Information Change Form must be completed and can be obtained in the Office of the Registrar on either campus or online through the student’s Ozone account at www.owens.edu.
Cheating and Plagiarism
Dishonest scholarly practices include, but are not limited to taking, using or copying another’s work and submitting it as one’s own, intentionally falsifying information or taking another’s ideas with the intention of passing these ideas as one’s own. A judgment regarding the dishonest scholarly practice should, in most cases, be made by the individual instructor. The basic criterion that will be used to judge the dishonest scholarly practice is the intention of the student to enhance his/her own position within the class by employing a dishonest or unacceptable scholarly practice. A few examples include, but are not limited to: 1. Work copied verbatim from an original author without proper credit; 2. Work copied with only a few words altered from the original without proper credit being given; 3. Answers copied from another’s test paper; 4. Evidence of a deliberate and calculated plan to engage in a dishonest academic practice, such as gaining access to examinations prior to the exam time or the extraction of information regarding an examination from other students; and 5. Falsification of clinical records.

Consequences for proven cases of dishonest scholarly practices are as follows: 1. The first offense will result in an equivalent grade of “F” being given for the particular test, project or paper on which the cheating has occurred. The instructor may require the student to demonstrate mastery of the objectives for the particular test, project, paper, the grade will remain an “F”. 2. The second offense (two total offenses, not necessarily in one course) will result in the student being assigned a failing grade for the course in which the second offense occurred. 3. Any student involved in three total offenses (not necessarily in one course) will immediately be dismissed from the College for one full academic semester. Upon readmission, a student who has been dismissed from the College for dishonest practices will be immediately dismissed upon any subsequent single offense involving a dishonest academic practice. It is recognized by the College that the prime responsibility for academic honesty is the individual student. However, the instructor will endeavor to create a learning environment that discourages cheating and encourages honest scholarship. If a student feels that he/she has been wrongly accused, appeal procedures exist. The penalty for a proven case of dishonest scholarly practice will stand through appeal. If the appeal ruling is in favor of the student, the following will apply: 1. For the first offense, the test, project or paper will be graded on the criteria for that assignment. 2. For the second offense, the student’s grade will be evaluated based on the criteria for the course. 3. For the third offense, the student will be reinstated to the College without penalty.
The instructor shall report all incidents of dishonest academic practice to the appropriate Dean and Department Chair. All reports of incidents of dishonest academic practice shall be maintained in the student’s permanent file in the Office of the Registrar until the student graduates. The student will be notified in writing by the Dean of the consequences and has the right to appeal. The Dean shall see that appropriate action is taken and notify the instructor and Chair of the action taken.
Course Substitution Policy
Under special circumstances, students may request the substitution of a different course for a required course within an academic program. Substitutions are usually initiated through the advising process with the student’s Department Chair. Courses considered for substitution are of similar classification to the required course. For example, one technical course may be substituted for another technical course or one general education requirement for another. All general education requirements in communications, social and behavioral sciences, and humanities must still be met (see “General Education Competencies” on page 11). A form requesting approval of the substitution is required and is initiated with the Chair of the student’s major academic program. In situations where students are requesting the substitution of a different course for a course that was previously attempted and failed, the grade received by the student in the substituted course will not replace the grade in the original course. A course substitution should not be considered “approved” until the student receives a copy of the substitution form with all required signatures.

All students interested in taking a proficiency examination should speak with an academic advisor prior to doing so. The College’s academic faculty has prepared proficiency examinations for many courses offered within their respective departments and programs. These examinations may be oral or written and may, in certain circumstances, require the demonstration of laboratory skills, as well. A proficiency examination may be attempted only one time per course. Students enrolled in courses beyond the designated drop date(s) to add cannot petition for proficiency exams in those courses. If a student has completed a course by regular enrollment and received a grade (A, B, C, D, F, I, P/NC, or F/NC), he/she is not eligible to take a proficiency examination for that course. Moreover, a student’s
failure of the first course in a sequence forfeits their right to take proficiency examinations for subsequent courses in the sequence. Students also should note that locally developed and administered proficiency tests, such as the College’s proficiency examinations, provide credit at the local institution, but the credit may not be transferable to other colleges. To be eligible for proficiency examinations, a prospective student must have completed all Enrollment Services application steps and be eligible for registration. A picture identification is required of all students at the time a proficiency examination is administered. All proficiency examinations are administered by a full-time employee of the College and must be completed within two weeks of proficiency application date. For more information regarding application procedures and courses available for proficiency, please contact the Office of Enrollment Services.
College Level Examination Program (CLEP)
Owens Community College participates in the National CLEP testing program for credit by examination, accepting CLEP results. CLEP test results are accepted for course credit by Owens Community College. Credit may be awarded for one or more courses through CLEP scores, but at least 50 percent of a degree program must be taken through actual coursework at Owens Community College. A listing of CLEP tests and minimum cut-off scores accepted by Owens is available through the Office of the Registrar on the Toledo-area Campus.
Advanced Placement Examination (AP)
AP examinations are given to high school students who have excelled in advanced level high school courses. The AP test determines whether a student has sufficiently mastered course content to warrant receiving college credit for work completed in high school. Owens Community College does not administer the test. Students interested in taking AP tests should speak

with their high school guidance counselor. Owens Community College will award advanced placement credit based on individual test results. Students wishing to have results evaluated should inquire at the Office of the Registrar on either campus.
Credit By Transfer
Transfer credit constitutes academic credit given for courses taken at another accredited institution of higher education. To receive credit for a course or courses taken at another institution, a student must submit an official copy of his/her transcript from the institution to the Office of the Registrar. Official transcripts issued to the student from other institutions must have a print date within 30 days of receipt at Owens Community College and must be in an official sealed envelope from the issuing institutions. Credits accepted are determined by the Owens Community College Office of the Registrar with the assistance of the Department Chair. As of Fall 2005, Ohio public institutions of higher education are to accept and apply all transfer coursework with a letter of “D” as the institution would for a native student under the business rules and academic policies of the receiving institution. These business rules and policies may include, but are not limited to, such areas as effective course dates, age of coursework, requirements of a particular major or program and eligibility. This policy does not override institutional admission standards and/or requirements of entrance into a specific academic program. The credit hours of the course or courses earned by transfer will be recorded on the student’s transcript in the total credit hours earned. However, transfer credit hours will not be included in the calculation of the student’s total cumulative GPA. Students who have completed an Ohio Board of Regents approved transfer module at another Ohio college or university will be able to transfer that module in total according to the guidelines on page 32 of this Catalog. Student who transfer to Owens Community College must meet residency requirements for graduation and must meet all other degree requirements.
Students may appeal for reconsideration of decisions determined by the above policies.

Credit by Waiver Policy
Disability Services (567) 661-7007 - Both Campuses
Credit by waiver relinquishes the requirement of a particular course on the basis of a student’s previous experience, however, 50% of required technical courses must have been taken at Owens Community College through graded course credit. The only exception to the 50% requirement occurs in the Associate of Technical Studies degree, Type B. Educational Experience Waiver – Educational Experience Waiver is relinquishing the requirement of a particular course on the basis of previous educational experience. A course offered by a department may be waived according to the polices which have been established by the individual department and approved by the Chair and appropriate Dean. Coursework, that has been waived, will be noted on the student’s permanent record by course number and the notation “waived.” Students desiring credit by waiver should contact the Chair of that particular program. Work Experience Waiver – Work Experience Waiver is relinquishing the requirements of a particular course on the basis of previous work experience. Within each academic division it will be determined which course may be waived. The procedure for waiving courses will follow established College procedures. (See Department Chair or Dean for specific procedures.) The maximum number of credit hours that may be waived, by virtue of work experience, is nine credit hours except in pre-approved programs such as LPN/ADN, Associate of Technical Studies (Type B) and Law Enforcement. When courses are waived, no additional coursework will be required in lieu of those courses waived. Coursework, which has been waived, will be noted in the student’s permanent record by course number and the notation “waived”. A fee is assessed for each course waived.

Dropping a Course Policy
A course may be dropped for academic reasons no later than the end of the ninth week of the academic semester. A course may be dropped for non-academic reasons after the end of the ninth week only for a problem of serious nature over which the student has no control. In this event, a Withdrawal Request form and written documentation of the circumstance(s) must be submitted to the Office of the Registrar for the review process. Approval of the request is made by the appropriate Dean of the student’s school. Failure to follow procedures to officially drop a course(s) will result in the assignment of a grade of “F” for each course and the student will be held financially responsible for all fees. For courses which are less than a full semester (16 weeks), the drop date will be adjusted accordingly. Please refer to the Records and Registration page at www.owens.edu for the last day to drop for each part of term. Add/Drop and Withdrawal Request forms are available in the Office of the Registrar or Enrollment Services on the Toledo-area and Findlay-area campuses, as well as online at www.owens.edu.
Dual Degrees and/or Majors Policy
Students are eligible to receive only one degree within a technology or program. A student’s major or majors are listed on the student’s transcript. If a graduate returns at a later date and completes a second major within the same technology area in which the student previously had received a degree, that student will then, at the time of graduation, receive a letter of commendation for the accomplishment, rather than receiving a second diploma. A student completing a degree simultaneously in another program area must meet requirements for both degrees. (See Adding a Second Major)
Enrollment Status Policy
Enrollment status is determined by the official number of credit hours in which a student is enrolled each semester. Enrollment
status is often used to help determine eligibility for financial aid, veterans’ benefits, company and agency funding or other purposes. Students are responsible for knowing their enrollment status and understanding the impact of changing credit hours by the add/drop process. Full-Time Enrollment: 12 or more credit hours Three-Quarter Time Enrollment: 9-10-11 credit hours Half-Time Enrollment: 6-7-8 credit hours Less Than Half-Time Enrollment: 5 or less credit hours
Grade Disputes and Appeals
Final grades are viewable on Ozone within 5 days after the last day of each semester. Students have one semester in which to dispute/appeal an academic grade earned (see Student Appeals Process on page 77).
Grade Point Average Calculation
The cumulative grade point average is computed by dividing the total number of quality points earned by the number of semester hours attempted. For example: Attempted Grade/ Total Credit Hours Quality Points Quality Points
4 3 4 4 3 18
x x x x x
A/4 points = B/3 points = C/2 points = D/1 point = F/0 points =
16 9 8 4 0 37
GPA = Total Quality Points divided by total credit hours attempted. Using the example above, GPA is calculated as follows: 37 total quality points/18 attempted credit hours = 2.06 GPA

Degree Audit CAPP: Curriculum Advising and Program Planning
In order to graduate with a degree or certificate, a student must complete all coursework as outlined in the college catalog. A student may generate an unofficial degree evaluation on Ozone to establish which courses he or she has officially completed and which courses remain. Students may access the degree evaluation by logging into Ozone and clicking on “degree evaluation” under the student quick links. Students may contact the Office of Enrollment Services on either the Toledo-area or Findlay-area campuses for questions or assistance. An official degree audit will be completed in the Office of the Registrar at the end of the term in which the student petitioned for the awarding of a degree or certificate.
Petition for Degree Completion
In order to graduate, a student is required to submit an petition for degree completion. This petition must be submitted the semester before the student intends to graduate. A spring semester graduate should petition during the preceding fall semester; a fall semester graduate should petition during the preceding spring semester; and a summer graduate should petition during the preceding spring semester. A petition for degree completion may be obtained from the Office of the Registrar on either the Toledo-area or Findlay-area campuses or online at www.owens.edu. A fee of $10 for the petition for degree completion should be paid to the Bursar’s office or $20 if application is made during the semester of graduation.
Certificate Requirements
A certificate is awarded upon successful completion of the required courses in a certificate program. The student must have maintained a grade point average of 2.0 in the certificate program. A grade point average of 2.0 is required in the technical
courses of all technical certificate programs. At least half the requirements for the completion of a certificate program must be met through graded coursework at Owens Community College. To become a candidate for a certificate, a student must file a petition for certificate completion one semester prior to completion of the program and submit a $5 fee. The petition for certificate completion may be obtained from the Office of the Registrar on either the Toledo-area or Findlay-area campuses or online at www.owens.edu.
Incompletes
The grade of “incomplete” is granted by a course instructor to a student who has extenuating circumstances for not taking the final examination or meeting some other definite requirement in the course. After a student completes the course to the satisfaction of the instructor, the “I” grade is removed and a grade is substituted. Unless an extension of time is granted by the appropriate instructor, an “I” grade must be made up before the end of the next semester or the “I” may be subject to change to a grade of “F”.
Prerequisites and Corequisites Policy
Courses specified in this Catalog as “corequisites” are courses that should be taken either with or prior to the course requiring the corequisite. “Prerequisites” are course requirements that must be met prior to the beginning of the course requiring the prerequisite. Students are not encouraged to attempt to enroll in a course whose co/prerequisites have not been met. However, in specific and limited situations, a student may seek permission to enroll in a course without having taken its co/prerequisite. Permission must be granted by both the course instructor and the Department Chair in which the course is offered. Students must submit a request form, which is available in Academic School offices. Due to accreditation standards, this procedure may not apply to any technical courses offered by the School of Health Sciences. Students completing a degree program will have

to complete all course requirements including co/prerequisites. If applicable, students may take proficiency tests for co/prerequisite courses when available.
Readmission
All students desiring readmission to the College may go to the Office of the Registrar on the Toledo-area or Findlay-area campuses and submit an updated admission application to reactivate their file. Those students desiring readmission after dismissal for academic reasons, must contact the Office of Academic Enhancement to assist in the development of a required written academic plan (Form number ID-A#1,2/84) to resolve the academic problem. This plan must have the approval of the appropriate Program Chair and School Dean. Students returning via readmission will re-enter the program under the current Catalog. Information on readmission to selective admission programs is found with the description of each program on the Academic Programs listed on page 16 of this Catalog.
Registration
Currently enrolled students are given an opportunity to register early for best class selection during advance registration each semester. Students are notified of this procedure by mail and by e-mail to their Ozone account. Owens Community College provides continuous registration following advance registration through the beginning of classes. New students should contact the Enrollment Services Office on the Toledo-area Campus or Findlay-area Campus for an appointment. Returning students and currently enrolled students who do not register during advance registration should contact an Enrollment Services Representative or their program Chair to complete the advising process prior to registration. Students are advised to complete their registration as early as possible due to greater availability of open class sections.
Registration is held prior to the beginning of each semester. Since late entrance is a hindrance to academic success, each student is encouraged to register for classes during the regular registration period.

Repeating Courses Policy
Enrollment Services (567) 661-7777 - Toledo-area Campus (567) 429-3509 - Findlay-area Campus
The limit on the total number of times a student is permitted to take a course is four. A withdrawal (dropping a class) is not counted as a repeat. A student may repeat any course three times regardless of the previous grade received. However, students enrolled in selective health programs must abide by their respective program policies regarding the repeating of technical courses. Before a student will be allowed to repeat a course for the third time, he/she must meet with a Student Services Representative to complete an academic plan for remediation. This plan must be reviewed and approved by the appropriate Chair. In addition, both the staff representative and Chair will monitor the student’s progress if allowed to take the course for a fourth time. In addition, one full academic term must elapse between registrations for the third and fourth repetition of a course. Only hours attempted and the grade earned in the repeated course will be used in calculating the grade point average, even if the grade earned in the repeated course is lower than the original grade. The original course(s) and grade(s) and all repeated course(s) and grade(s) will remain on the official transcript of the student. A student must repeat all courses required for graduation in which a failing grade has been received. Courses designated as electives, but used to fulfill the graduation requirements, also must be repeated if failed. Alternate courses may fulfill the elective requirement; however, the original course grade will continue to be computed in the grade point average unless it specifically is repeated. Any student planning to transfer to another institution should be aware of that institution’s policies concerning repetition

of courses. Repeating courses may affect a student’s eligibility for financial aid. Students on financial aid should contact the Financial Aid Office for definitive information on requirements and restrictions.
Transcript Requests
Transcript requests may be requested online from the student’s Ozone account at www.owens.edu. By logging into Ozone, this authentication serves as the student e-signature to authorize the release of the academic transcript. Otherwise, transcript request forms may be downloaded from the Records and Registration page at www.owens.edu and mailed or faxed to the Office of the Registrar. A student will be required to sign the request form to authorize the release of academic transcript. An official transcript of a student’s record is issued only for transferring credits to other colleges and universities and for the information of certifying agencies and employers. An official transcript is not issued directly to the student. However, a student may obtain a copy of the transcript stamped “Issued to Student”. This type of transcript is not accepted as official by other institutions. There is no charge for a transcript. Processing usually takes two business days for official transcripts. Student copies can be obtained immediately during regular business hours.
Transient Students
A student who is enrolled at another institution of higher learning may wish to take a particular course or courses at Owens Community College for transfer back to their home (degree granting) institution. Prior approval of the transfer should be obtained from the home institution before enrolling at Owens Community College. When the approved credits have been earned, the Office of the Registrar will send the student’s transcript to another institution only at the student’s request. For further information, contact the Office of the Registrar on the Toledo-area Campus.
Withdrawal from the College Policy
A student who desires to withdraw from the College (all courses) during the semester must submit a written request to the Office of the Registrar. This action will result in the deactivation of the student’s permanent record. In the event that the student wishes to return to the college, the student must complete and submit an admissions application to the college. Upon admission to the college following withdrawal from the college, the catalog of record will be the catalog in effect on the date of reenrollment. The student will follow all curriculum requirements for academic programs, degrees and certificates as listed in the current catalog of record. Failure to follow procedures to officially withdraw from the college will result in the assignment of a grade “F” for each course and the student will be held financially responsible for all fees.
College Cancellation of Course from Schedule (Cancelled Classes)
The College makes every reasonable effort to offer courses as announced, but it reserves the right to withdraw a course from the schedule if it regards the enrollment to be insufficient or if there are other significant factors present that prevents the course from being offered. The College will notify the student of the cancelled class via the Ozone, but it is the student’s responsibility to replace the class on their schedule. College advisors are available to assist students in this process.
73 College Policies and Procedures
College Policies and Procedures Affirmative Action/Non Discrimination
The continued success of our institution depends heavily on full and effective utilization and education of qualified individuals, regardless of race, color, sex, national origin, religion, age or disability. It is the policy of the Board of Trustees that equal employment and equal admission opportunity shall be afforded all such qualified persons. Further, it is our policy to support and abide by all legal requirements assuring non-discrimination in employment and admission for all qualified persons without regard to race, color, sex, national origin, religion, age or disability. This policy is applicable to all matters related to recruitment and admission of students and employment matters such as recruitment, hiring, upgrading and promotion, staff development, transferring, layoffs and recall, demotion and termination of employment. It also applies to employee compensation and benefits, participation in college-sponsored education or training, tuition assistance or College recreational programs and to all student services and activities. Further, all curriculum and course offerings and matters pertaining to student environment and governance will continue to be evaluated for compliance with relevant regulations. In July 1975, the Affirmative Action Office was created and, since that time, official policies and procedures have been developed to ensure compliance with relevant regulations. Inquiries concerning Title VI, VII, Title IX, Section 504 and other matters pertaining to any type of perceived discrimination may be referred there. The office is associated with the Office of the President and is located in the Human Resources Office.

Reciprocity-Monroe County Residents
The reciprocity agreement between Owens Community College and Monroe County Community College enables Monroe County residents to attend Owens Community College at the in-state fee rate instead of being charged the higher out-of-state tuition surcharge. The same applies to Ohio residents at Monroe County Community College. All Monroe County residents attending Owens Community College must apply for reciprocity in order to be eligible to participate. Not all programs are eligible for reciprocity. An application for reciprocity is available from the Enrollment Services Office and the Office of the Registrar or online through their Ozone account at www.owens.edu. The latest list of eligible programs is maintained on the back of the application for reciprocity. Students from Monroe County who wish to enroll at Owens Community College in programs that are not offered at Monroe County Community College, will pay Ohio resident fees. The same stipulation applies to Ohio residents enrolling at Monroe County Community College. Applications are available in the Office of the Registrar. Questions on reciprocity can be directed to the Enrollment Services Office at Owens Community College, or Monroe County residents may contact Monroe County Community College at (734) 242-7300.
Residency Determination
The residency status of each student is determined during the admissions process, based upon the information available to make that particular decision. Tuition surcharges to the student and the College’s subsidy payments are based upon that decision. This decision is revocable, but the student must appeal through the residency review process. Petitions and information are available in the Office of the Registrar on the Toledo-area or Findlay-area campuses. The process must be completed prior to the beginning of classes for the semester being petitioned. The definitions and rules used by all Ohio educational institutions are contained within the document entitled Ohio Board of Regents 3333-1-10, generically known as Rule 10. The following is part of Section C of Rule 10: The following persons shall be classified as residents of the State of Ohio for subsidy and tuition surcharge purposes: 1. A dependent student, at least one of whose parents or legal guardian has been a resident of the state of Ohio for all other legal purposes for 12 consecutive months or more immediately preceding the enrollment of such student in an institution of higher education. 2. A person who has been a resident of Ohio for the purpose of this rule for at least 12 consecutive months immediately preceding his/her enrollment in an institution of higher education and who is not receiving, and has not directly or indirectly received in the preceding 12 consecutive months, financial support from persons or entities who are not residents of Ohio for all other legal purposes. 3. A dependent child of a parent or legal guardian, or the spouse of a person, who, as of the first day of enrollment, has accepted full-time, self-sustaining employment and established domicile in the state of Ohio for reasons other than gaining the benefit of favorable tuition rates. 4.

In spite of these efforts to serve students, there may be an occasion when a student disagrees with a decision or action of an Owens Community College administrator, faculty or staff member. The Student Appeals Procedure is intended to provide students, who disagree with a decision for any of the above reasons, a process of appeal. Grade appeals are handled by the Office of the Provost and Executive Vice President and grade appeal forms and procedures are available in the Office of the Provost and Executive Vice President.
7. A person, who is transferred by his employer beyond the territorial limits of the 50 states of the United States and the District of Columbia while a resident of Ohio for all other legal purposes, and his/her dependents shall be considered residents of Ohio for these purposes as long as Ohio remains the state of such person’s domicile. The person also must have fulfilled his/her tax liability to the state of Ohio for at least the tax year preceding enrollment.

9. Expulsion – removal of a student permanently from the College. E. Appeals A student may appeal the decision rendered by the Disciplinary Administrator and request a hearing before a Disciplinary Hearing Committee. The only grounds for such an appeal are prejudicial procedural error, prejudicial error as to findings of fact, discovery of substantial new facts unavailable at the time of the hearing, or excessive severity of the sanction. A Student Appeals Packet that outlines the Appeal Procedures will be provided by the Vice President of Student Services’ office. The Disciplinary Appeals Committee consists of six (6) members, including two faculty appointed by the Provost and Executive Vice President, one administrator and one staff member, both appointed by the Vice President of Human Resources, and two students appointed by the President or Vice President of Student Government. The administrator will serve as chairman of the committee. Four committee members shall constitute a quorum. The student may submit a written statement, may invite witnesses to testify on his/her behalf, and question a witness who appears against him/her. If the student elects not to attend the hearing, the charges will be reviewed as scheduled on the basis of the information available and a decision made. During the Disciplinary Hearing, an advisor the student chooses at his or her expense may assist a student. The student is responsible for presenting his or her own case and, therefore, advisors are not permitted to speak or participate directly in any hearing before the Disciplinary Appeals Committee. After hearing testimony and reviewing the documents submitted, the committee will retire to consider the evidence and render a decision. The committee will determine if the student did
violate the Student Code of Conduct and, if so, what penalty to impose. The decision must be the result of a majority vote of the committee members present and voting. Upon reaching its decision, the committee will forward its recommendations to the Vice President for Student Services. Upon review and acceptance of the recommendations, the Vice President will notify the student formally, by registered mail, of the decision, with copies to the Registrar. In the same notification the student shall be informed of the appeal procedure. A student found by the panel to have violated the code has the right to appeal in writing, within thirty days of the committee’s decision, to the Provost and Executive Vice President. The only grounds for such an appeal are prejudicial procedural error, prejudicial error as to findings of fact, discovery of substantial new facts unavailable at the time of the hearing, or excessive severity of the sanction. If the Provost and Executive Vice President determines that the asserted grounds for appeal are valid, the Provost and Executive Vice President may either refer the charges to a rehearing by the committee or decide the issue based upon the committee’s findings. The decision of the Provost and Executive Vice President is final.

Parking Tips: • An Owens parking permit does not guarantee a parking space; it does allow you to park legally on campus, in accordance with parking regulations for students and staff. • Peak demand for parking spaces in campus lots is Monday through Thursday, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. • Arrive 30 minutes prior to the start of your class. • Become familiar with all of the available parking lots, as detailed on the campus maps. • On the Toledo-area campus, it is a 5-minute walk from the parking lots located on the east side of campus, surrounding the Galleria Complex, to the center of the west side of campus, near College Hall. • Also on the Toledo-area campus, use the free, on campus, Campus Area Transit System (CATS) service, Monday through Thursday, 7:30 a.m. to 5:10 p.m. The Park & Ride shuttle stops at 12 locations between the west and east sides of campus. It follows a continuous loop, taking about 10-15 minutes to complete, dependant on traffic. Look for the CATS signage on campus. This service is only available during the Fall and Spring semesters. More information on this service is online at www.owens.edu/schedules/cats.html. • Try to take care of your non-class school business needs during non-peak times. We encourage you to use our online services to register and pay tuition and fees.
• Over 90 parking meters have been installed throughout the Toledo-area Campus and 15 on the Findlay-area Campus for use in designated spaces in parking lots serving College Hall, Administration Hall, Bicentennial Hall, Health Technologies, Alumni Hall and the Transportation Technologies Building. Meters have a two hour maximum and cost is .25 cents per hour. Meters accept quarters, nickels and dimes as well as tokens. Some meters may be designated for use only by visitors and/or employees.
