paid placements that permit students to earn while learning 

and also to defray the total cost of their education. The College 

has been recognized nationally for its extensive cooperative 

education program. Over 600 area employers provide placements 

for Cincinnati State students who devote at least one 

term of their program of study to applying the knowledge they 

have acquired in the lab and in the classroom. 

Student-Centered 

Quality Education 

Cincinnati State is also known for its dedication to teaching 

and its student-centered philosophy and practices. Small class 

sizes, an extensive developmental education program, a free 

tutoring program, counseling, and library services provide the 

kinds of academic support needed for success for both the 

returning adult student and the recent high school student. 

Both theory and practice are stressed through appropriate 

classroom, laboratory, and cooperative/clinical education 

experiences. Each student at Cincinnati State is an individual, 

not a number. 

Cincinnati State teachers take pride in the personal attention 

afforded to each student, and every Cincinnati State graduate 

is a reflection of the College’s commitment to developing 

human potential, one student at a time. 

Collaborative Relationships 

Cincinnati State serves the community by hosting numerous 

community events throughout the year and by its many partnerships 

with area high schools and universities. In addition to 

the College’s extensive cooperative education program 

described above, the College is a member of the Greater 

Cincinnati Consortium of Colleges and Universities which 

allows students, under certain conditions, to take courses not 

offered at their home institution at any of the thirteen member 

institutions. Students who wish more information about this 

13

program should contact Cincinnati State’s registrar. 

Cincinnati State also has a cross-registration agreement with 

the Army and Air Force ROTC at the University of Cincinnati. 

Army and Air Force personnel teach the General Military 

Training (GMT) course classes. Enrollment in these classes 

entails no service obligation. Books for these courses and uniforms 

are provided free to students. The student attends ROTC 

classes and drill periods on the University of Cincinnati campus 

while attending academic classes at Cincinnati State. 

Details may be obtained from the Veterans Affairs Office, 

Room 157 at Cincinnati State.

Admission Information 

Cincinnati State Technical and Community College is an 

open-access, public institution that is dedicated to the principles 

of providing each student the maximum opportunity to 

develop and learn. 

Students who are high school graduates or have a high 

school equivalence (GED) are eligible for admission to 

Cincinnati State Technical and Community College. 

Upon completion of the admission process, students will be 

admitted to a degree program. Some admitted students may be 

recommended to participate in prerequisite or developmental 

education courses. All placements are based on a review of 

placement test scores and high school (or GED) and college 

transcripts. All admission placements may lead to an associate 

degree or certificate. 

Prerequisite or developmental education courses enable the 

student to develop or strengthen important academic skills by 

taking prescribed classes. A class schedule is designed by an 

academic advisor to enhance the student’s academic success 

and is based on the student’s goal, a review of placement test 

scores, high school and/or college transcripts, and the academic 

advising session. Students must complete all prerequisite 

or developmental education courses in five terms or one 

calendar year. 

Students admitted to degree programs are regular students 

enrolled in eligible programs for the purpose of receiving a 

degree or certificate. 

Graduation Rate Information: Graduation rate information is 

available in the Office of Admission and Counseling, room 168. 

Apply Early! Students are advised to begin the process of 

admission six to eight weeks in advance of the term in which 

they plan to attend Cincinnati State, in order to facilitate transcript 

requests from other schools, financial aid processing, 

and advising. Some programs reach their capacity early 

requiring possible placement on a wait list.

permanent resident, or refugee by the Bureau of 

Citizenship and Immigration Services may be admitted on the 

same basis as US citizens.

approximately two (2) terms of tuition. The student must 

provide for all other expenses, room, board, books, transportation 

and incidental expenses. 

6. I-20 Form is issued to student only after the above-mentioned

Financial Information 

Student Expenses 

The Ohio Board of Regents provides a student subsidy to 

Cincinnati State Technical and Community College for each Ohio 

resident enrolled. The amount received from the Regents is less 

than one-half of the College’s operating costs. The balance must 

come from tuition payments and other sources. Out-of-state residents 

pay the highest tuition since the College receives no 

Regents’ subsidy for their instruction. (See the end of this section 

for complete explanation of residency determination.)

Books and Supplies 

The cost of books and supplies can vary greatly from term to 

term. Also, different programs have different requirements. 

Students in the engineering technologies, for example, generally 

will spend more on supplies and equipment than the business 

oriented programs. 

The first school term usually is the most expensive one as students 

purchase books and supplies at that time that they also 

use in later terms. The average expense for books and supplies 

is $250 per term. 

Senior Citizens 

Senior citizens may register tuition free to audit courses as 

space is available after the pre-enrollment bill period. Senior 

citizens must pay the application, registration, lab and out-ofstate 

fees, if applicable. Regular tuition will be charged to those 

senior citizens who wish to receive credit for the courses. They 

must pay tuition as well as fees for all non-credit courses. (An 

eligible senior citizen is one who is sixty years of age or older.) 

Refund of Tuition Charges 

Students are responsible for paying all charges incurred as a 

result of registering for classes. The College will not drop a student's 

classes nor reduce tuition charges/fees due to a student's 

non-payment of those charges. Students may receive a fee 

reduction for classes by formally withdrawing (dropping) from 

those classes for any reason. The amount of the fee reduction 

is based upon the date of withdrawal (drop) and calculated 

according to the College's published refund schedule. Refunds 

are disbursed to the student or/and a third party payor. Refund 

checks are mailed to students during the third week of the term. 

1. Requests for refunds will be considered only if the student 

completes and signs the official College drop/add class 

form. The student shall deliver the completed form to the 

Registrar Office. The official date of withdrawal (drop) is 

the date of entry of the form by the Registrar Office. 

2. The Admissions fee is not refundable. 

3. The following fees are not refundable unless the College 

cancels all classes the student registers for: 

Registration fee 

Technology/Activity Fee 

Extended Payment fee 

Late registration/payment fees 

4. The College's refund schedule is as follows: 

Refunds for dropped classes processed in the 

Registrar Office before the first day of the term are calculated 

at a rate of 100% refund of the in or out-of-state 

tuition fee and course/lab fee for the dropped class. 

Refunds for dropped classes processed in the 

Registrar Office from the first day of the term through the

seventh calendar day of the term will be calculated at a rate of 

100% refund of the in or out-of-state tuition fee and course/lab 

fee only for the dropped class. 

Refunds for dropped classes processed in the Registrar Office 

from the eighth to fourteenth calendar day of the term are calculated 

at a rate of 50% refund of the in or out-of-state tuition 

fee and course/lab fee for the dropped class. There is no reduction 

of charges for courses dropped after the fourteenth calendar 

day of the term. 

5. Flexibly scheduled courses: Courses which have a beginning 

or/and ending date different than the first and last 

weeks of the normal term schedule are considered flexibly 

scheduled and will have a prorated refund period 

applied to them. A 100 percent refund is applicable to a 

flexibly scheduled course dropped in the first 11 percent 

period of that course’s term. A 50 percent refund is applicable 

to a flexibly scheduled course dropped in the 12 to 

22 percent period of that course’s term. No refund is 

applicable after the 22 percent period of the term. 

6. Course cancellation: A refund of 100% will be made to a 

student who has registered for courses that have been 

cancelled by the College (if the student does not change 

to another course). 

7. Refunds for students whose registration bill was paid by 

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

toward reimbursing the third-party before any disbursement 

to the student. 

8. If a student owes a financial obligation to the College, the 

refund will be applied toward payment of the balance due 

before any disbursement to the student. 

9. Students who do not follow the established dropped-class 

procedures of the College will not be eligible for a refund. 

10. Students who have questions concerning refunds may 

direct those questions to the College Cashier Office. 

11. Appeals to this refund policy may be filed through the 

College Cashier Office. 

Non-Attendance of Classes 

1. Instructors are required to document student attendance 

in each course meeting throughout the term. 

2. From the first day of the term until the First Day to 

Withdraw for the term, students who drop or withdraw 

from a course must identify whether or not they attended 

the course section. 

3. A student who enrolls in a course but does not attend the 

course within the first two weeks will be designated a No 

Show (NS) by the instructor. 

4. If there is a discrepancy between a student’s self-reported 

attendance status and the attendance status reported by 

an instructor, the attendance status reported by the 

instructor will be the status of record. 

5. Students are not permitted to begin attending a course section 

after a No Show (NS) has been issued by the instructor 

or self-reported by the student for that course section. 

6. The designation of No Show (NS) will not appear on the 

student’s transcript. 

7. A student who receives a No Show (NS) designation for a 

course is still financially responsible for payment for the 

course. Federal Financial Aid is not applicable to a 

course for which a student has received a No Show (NS) 

designation. 

A student is not permitted to withdraw from a course he or she 

did not attend or to which a No Show (NS) has been assigned.

Kentucky resident tuition rates. Graduates must satisfy all NKU 

regular transfer admission requirements, including any requirements 

of the specific baccalaureate program. 

Financial Aid 

At Cincinnati State, the purpose of financial aid is to provide 

financial assistance to students who, without such assistance, 

would be unable to attend the college. Cincinnati State awards 

over twenty million dollars annually to some 10,000 students 

from federal and state financial aid programs, private donors 

and the College’s own funds. Complete information about all 

of the financial aid programs administered at Cincinnati State is 

available from the Financial Aid Office and at the Cincinnati 

State financial aid web site: http://cincinnatistate.edu/finaid.htm 

Financial aid is money in the form of scholarships, grants, 

loans and employment (work-study). Most scholarships do not 

have to be repaid. Some scholarships, however, are awarded 

to students who promise to teach or perform some other serv- 

21

ice when they finish school. Grants are typically awarded on 

the basis of financial need and do not have to be repaid. Loans 

are borrowed money that has to be PAID BACK over a period 

of time, usually after the student leaves school. Work-study is 

money that students earn by working at a part-time job. 

One of the principles behind awarding need-based financial 

aid is that students and their families should pay for educational 

expenses to the extent they are able. A family’s ability to 

pay for educational costs must be evaluated in an equitable 

and consistent manner. To be fair to everyone a standard, federal 

formula is used to calculate a student’s Expected Family 

Contribution (EFC). The information is derived from the student’s 

completed Free Application for Federal Student Aid 

(FAFSA). Financial need is the difference between a student’s 

total annual educational expenses and the amount the student 

and his or her family is expected to contribute toward those 

expenses. A student’s need for financial assistance will differ 

from school to school because the cost of attendance will differ. 

Students and their families who have special circumstances 

that might affect the amount they are expected to contribute, 

such as the recent unemployment of a parent or 

spouse, unusual medical or dental expenses not paid by insurance, 

may request a Special Condition Application from the 

Financial Aid Office. 

Office Hours 

The office of Financial Aid is open 

8:00 am – 5:00 pm Monday thru Wednesday; 

and Friday 

8:00 am – 7:00 pm Thursday 

8:00 am – 7:00 pm Monday thru Thursday 

(week prior to start of each term 

and first week of classes) 

How To Apply 

Each year, students need to complete the Free Application for 

Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA includes all the information 

necessary to determine the student’s Expected Family 

Contribution. The FAFSA must be completed for consideration 

of most federal student aid programs. Many states, including 

Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky, use the FAFSA to award state aid. 

Students automatically receive a RENEWAL FAFSA in subsequent 

years that contains a summary of the information reported 

on the prior year FAFSA. 

The FAFSA is available in two formats, paper and electronic. 

The paper FAFSA is mailed directly to the application processor 

listed on the FAFSA. For those who apply by mail, the processing 

time frame is approximately four (4) weeks. For 

FAFSAs submitted electronically, the processing time frame is 

about two (2) weeks. Electronic filers can submit their FAFSA 

application through the Internet by using the Cincinnati State 

financial aid web address at http://cincinncinnatistate.edu/ 

finaid.htm or at the Department of Education’s web address at 

www.fafsa.ed.gov Students must provide the federal school 

code number for each school where they want their FAFSA 

results sent. The federal school code number for Cincinnati 

State is 010345. To receive maximum consideration for certain 

programs, including the Federal Supplemental Educational 

Opportunity Grant (SEOG), Federal Work-Study (FWS) and 

Federal Perkins Loan programs, students should submit their 

22 

FAFSA forms by February 15 of each calendar year. Once a 

paper or electronic FAFSA is submitted, students receive a document 

called a Student Aid Report (SAR). Students should 

keep all parts of their SAR in a safe place. The College will 

receive the results of each student’s FAFSA electronically. Any 

changes to a SAR should go directly to FAFSA. Students will 

receive an award letter from the Financial Aid Office that tells 

them the types and amounts of aid that have been awarded for 

their attendance at Cincinnati State once they are verified and 

meeting all eligibility requirements for financial aid. 

Cincinnati State Scholarship Program 

The purpose of the scholarship program at Cincinnati State is 

to acknowledge and reward high academic achievement by 

helping deserving students finance their college educational 

cost. The Cincinnati State scholarship application deadline 

date is March 1 of each calendar year. RECIPIENTS OF A 

SCHOLARSHIP FROM CINCINNATI STATE MUST REAPPLY 

EACH YEAR. Eligibility requirements include: 

• U. S. citizenship

number and type of scholarships vary from year to year 

depending on donations received for the scholarship program. 

Private ("Outside") Scholarship Opportunities 

The public library is an excellent source of information on 

private sources of financial aid. The Office of Financial Aid 

also has books for students to research scholarship opportunities. 

Many companies have programs to help students pay for 

post-secondary educational cost for employees and their family 

members. In addition, financial assistance is available from 

many foundations, religious organizations, fraternities, sororities, 

town and city clubs, local school boards, and civic 

groups. This information is FREE. There are FREE on-line 

scholarship search programs accessible via the Internet. 

Students are invited to visit the Cincinnati State Financial Aid 

Office web site at http://cincinnatistate.edu/finaid.htm for 

access to one of the largest FREE on-line scholarship search 

programs called FASTWeb! Students are also encouraged to 

review the Scholarship Bulletin Board located outside the 

Financial Aid Office for up-to-date scholarship opportunities. 

Federal Student Aid Programs 

To receive financial aid from the federal student aid 

programs, students must: 

• have financial need 

• have a high school diploma or General Education 

Development Certificate (GED) 

• be enrolled or accepted for enrollment as a regular student 

working toward a degree or certificate in an eligible program 

• be a U.S. citizen or eligible non-citizen

Academic Progress Policy is available later in this course catalog 

and by contacting the Financial Aid Office. 

Other general financial aid information you should know: 

• financial aid awards are adjusted appropriately for changes 

in a student’s enrollment status between terms; 

• to be eligible for federal student aid, students must enroll 

and attend classes in which they are registered. The 

Financial Aid Office is required to recalculate a student’s 

financial aid award(s) to reflect only those classes for 

which the student actually begins attendance. 

Detailed information on these and other financial aid eligibility 

criteria may be obtained from the Financial Aid Office. 

Federal Pell Grant 

Pell Grants are awarded to undergraduate students who have 

not earned a bachelor’s or professional degree and demonstrate 

financial need. The annual maximum Pell Grant is determined, 

each year, by the federal government. Pell Grants may 

be awarded to both full and part-time students. 

Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant – SEOG 

SEOG is for undergraduate students with exceptional financial 

need who are eligible to receive a Pell Grant. To be considered 

for a SEOG at Cincinnati State, students must file the 

annual FAFSA by February 15 of each year. Funding is limited 

and is awarded based on the availability of funds. 

Federal Work-Study 

Federal Work-Study provides jobs for students with financial 

need allowing them to earn money to help pay education 

expenses. The amount a student can earn cannot exceed the 

Work-Study award. When assigning work hours, supervisors 

will consider a student’s class schedule, Work-Study award 

amount, and employer needs. Work-Study awards are offered 

first to students with exceptional financial need and who have 

filed the annual FAFSA by the February 15 priority deadline. 

Federal Stafford Loan Program 

Federal Stafford loans (subsidized and unsubsidized), are 

low-interest loans made to students attending school on at least 

a half-time basis. At Cincinnati State, half-time means enrolled 

for at least six (6) credit hours per term. Loans under the 

Federal Stafford Loan program are made by banks, credit 

unions, savings and loan associations and private agencies. 

Students are not required to make payments while in school of 

a subsidized loan; students are required to make payments on 

the interest that accrues, while in school, on an unsubsidized 

loan. An option to have the interest capitalized on an unsubsidized 

loan is available. 

At Cincinnati State, ALL STUDENTS, are required to complete 

an on-line loan entrance counseling session in order to 

receive the first disbursement of their loan proceeds for the 

academic year. Students access the loan counseling session at 

http://cincinnatistate.edu/finaid.htm For first-time borrowers, 

loan proceeds are delayed for the first 30 days of the loan period. 

Students must maintain their eligibility during this period. 

The purpose of these mandatory loan counseling sessions is to 

ensure that all student borrowers: 

• review and understand their loan repayment obligation 

• anticipate their average monthly repayment amount 

• remember to update their lender/guaranty agency with any 

address or other pertinent change 

• review the deferment, forbearance and cancellation 

conditions of their loan, and 

• review the consequences of delinquency and default of a 

student loan. 

Federal Plus Loans – Loans for Parents 

PLUS loans enable parents of dependent students with good 

credit histories to borrow to help pay their educational cost. 

The student, for whom a PLUS loan is borrowed, must be 

attending school on at least a half-time basis. PLUS loans are 

made by banks, credit unions, savings and loan associations 

and private agencies.

Academics, 

Policies 

and Procedures

Equal Opportunity 

Cincinnati State Technical and Community College is committed 

to a policy of equal educational opportunities for all 

persons regardless of race, age, handicap, sexual orientation, 

national origin or gender. This policy is adopted as a matter of 

law and as a matter of educational policy consistent with the 

goals and purposes of the College. 

The College also adheres to a policy of equal employment 

opportunity and affirmative action to end any illegal pattern of 

discrimination and to overcome the effects of past discrimination. 

Assessment of Student 

Academic Achievement 

In 1994, the North Central Association of Colleges and 

Schools began requiring a plan for the assessment of student 

academic achievement from each of its member institutions. 

The purposes for assessment at Cincinnati State are to: 

1) demonstrate that the institution is fulfilling its academic 

mission and 

2) provide information to academic decision-makers for the 

continuous improvement of the teaching-learning process. 

All students participate in assessment throughout their academic 

life at Cincinnati State. Beginning with placement testing, 

advisors and faculty work with students to assure that 

learning objectives are met and that knowledge gained in the 

classroom, labs, and through their cooperative work experience 

is applied and integrated into their working and personal 

lives. At the same time, Cincinnati State’s assessment model 

collects information from employers, advisory committees, 

graduates, and other external constituencies that guides the 

development and implementation of its academic and technical 

programs. General education, cooperative education, and 

technical education each have an assessment component. 

Because one of the primary purposes of assessment is to provide 

assurance that the College is meeting its academic mission, 

the foundation of Cincinnati State’s assessment plan is 

built directly upon the mission of the College. The following 

section is the full text of Cincinnati State’s mission, approved 

by the Ohio Board of Regents and the College’s Board of 

Trustees. 

Mission 

We believe that Cincinnati State Technical and Community 

College makes an important contribution to the technical and 

educational status, economic growth, and social well-being of 

the Tri-State Area. We believe that to continue to serve the 

community the College must be willing to modify, adapt, and 

create technical and transfer programs that meet the everchanging 

needs of students, business, industry and the professional 

community. We believe that it is the College’s role to 

help students to learn to think independently, to value logical 

and tested conclusions, to develop problem solving abilities, to 

communicate well, and to function effectively with other people. 

We believe in the dignity and worth of the individual and 

therefore provide educational opportunities for students 

regardless of age, economic or social background, or enrollment 

status. We believe that for continued growth we must 

display the ability to be creative, to look to the future as well 

27 

as the past, to strive for excellence, and to exhibit leadership in 

the expansion of knowledge and skills through the achievements 

of the faculty and the students. We hope to develop in 

our students the desire to continue their education throughout 

their lives. 

The College’s principal concern is its students. This concern 

is reflected primarily through offering programs of substantial 

quality with the expectation that students will achieve a high 

level of competence and understanding in an atmosphere of 

positive engagement and mutual respect. In order to maintain 

this atmosphere, the College offers opportunities for students to 

achieve understanding and appreciation of their own culture 

and those of others in an environment that recognizes and values 

the cultural diversity of the College population and the 

community. 

The College has a vital and distinctive mission to perform in 

addressing the educational and economic needs of the Tri-State 

Area. The College seeks to implement its philosophy by 

providing: 

A. Education featuring a combination of theory and practice 

primarily through appropriate classroom, laboratory, and 

cooperative/clinical education experiences. 

B. Technical, Arts, and Science Associate degree programs 

that lead to entry or advanced level employment and/or 

transfer to a Bachelor’s degree program. 

C. Certificate programs, specialized training, and adult continuing 

education opportunities of less than one-year 

duration. 

D. Services and educational experiences to assist students in 

determining and reaching their educational objectives. 

E. Opportunities for students to develop the skills needed to 

enter and succeed in the College’s education programs. 

F. Technical, science, arts, and general education courses 

that can be applied toward four-year degree programs. 

The College endeavors to provide leadership and services in 

the promotion of technical, arts, science, and cooperative education. 


Program Policies 

The cooperative education program is an integral part of 

Cincinnati State’s past growth, current strength, and continued 

success. The College’s commitment to cooperative education 

is reflected in the curricula of most of the associate degree 

programs. 

Cooperative Education Requirements 

Cincinnati State Technical and Community College values 

the cooperative education experience, but each division establishes 

its own policies regarding how the student may fulfill coop 

requirements. 

Students should refer to the academic division sections of this 

catalog for specific information on how the divisions expect 

students to meet cooperative education requirements. 

Meeting Academic Eligibility Requirements 

To be eligible for placement in cooperative education 

employment (or clinical experience/directed practice), a stu-

dent must maintain the required grade point average as stated 

in the College catalog (see “Academic Probation and 

Dismissal" in this section of the Catalog). The student must 

also demonstrate satisfactory proficiency in core or other 

required courses. 

A student who does not maintain the required GPA will not 

be eligible for cooperative education or clinical 

experience/directed practice without the permission of the program 

coordinator. 

Refer to the division sections of the catalog for additional 

requirements. 

Obtaining Cooperative Education Assignments 

The College has been quite successful in placing most students 

in cooperative education jobs; however, there is no 

absolute guarantee of initial or continuing employment. The 

employer is solely responsible for decisions about hiring, retention, 

dismissal, promotion or demotion of a cooperative education 

student. Initial and continuing employment depends on 

the skills, aptitudes, and behaviors the individual student offers 

to each potential employer. 

Co-op Registration Policy 

1. No student may report to his or her co-op job until he or 

she has registered and paid for co-op. 

2. A student failing to register for co-op will not be eligible 

to receive co-op credit for that term. 

3. Employers of co-op students who fail to register for co-op 

will be notified by the coordinator that the student no 

longer has co-op status. The employer has the option to 

allow the student to continue to work full-time without 

co-op status or terminate employment. This decision will 

be made by the employer. 

Withdrawal From Co-op/Clinical Experience 

If a student is removed from a cooperative education or clinical 

experience course due to unsatisfactory performance, and 

the student subsequently withdraws from that course, the faculty 

member responsible for the course, with the approval of 

the division dean, may remove the “W” and assign a grade of 

“U” or “F.”

Grade Reports 

Grades are provided to students at the end of each term. 

Grades are also accessible through the College Web registration 

system and the touch-tone telephone registration system. 

It is the student’s responsibility to check his or her grades for 

accuracy. Any errors, discrepancies, or omissions should be 

reported to the instructor and/or division dean responsible for 

the course. Student concerns about grades should be made 

known within 30 days of the end of the term for which the 

grade was issued. (See “Academic Appeals Procedures” elsewhere 

in this section.) 

Grade Changes 

Changes to grades must be approved by the instructor who 

issued the grade, and must be submitted to the Office of the 

Registrar no later than two terms after the term in which the 

grade was originally issued. 

Calculation of Grade Point Average (GPA) 

The College utilizes three grade point averages (GPA) for 

each student. 

The cumulative GPA is calculated as the total quality points 

earned (Grade Point Value Per Credit Hour, listed above) divided 

by the total credit hours for courses bearing quality points 

attempted at the College. 

The Term GPA is calculated as the total quality points earned 

(Grade Point Value Per Credit Hour, listed above) divided by 

the total credit hours for courses bearing quality points 

attempted for that term. 

The Program GPA is calculated as the total quality points 

earned (Grade Point Value Per Credit Hour, listed above) divided 

by the total credit hours for all courses bearing quality 

points listed in the student’s current audit curriculum. 

The audit curriculum is the list of requirements the student 

must complete in order to earn a degree or certificate. 

Developmental Education courses beginning with “00” are not 

calculated in the GPA. 

Incomplete (I) 

A grade of “I” (Incomplete) is awarded at the discretion of the 

instructor. When unusual circumstances prevent a student 

from completing course requirements during the term in which 

the student is enrolled, the instructor may agree to record a 

28

grade of “I” until the final grade is established. Timetables and 

requirements for the completion of the course are the instructor’s 

prerogatives. If a final grade has not been submitted to the 

Office of the Registrar by the last instructional day of the following 

term, a grade of “F” will be automatically recorded. 

Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory Grades (S/U) 

“S” represents satisfactory performance, or “passing,” in 

those courses graded satisfactory/unsatisfactory. Only the 

grades of A, B or C are considered passing on the satisfactory/unsatisfactory 

system. 

No Grade Reported (N) 

An “N” grade is administratively assigned by the Office of the 

Registrar if no grades are reported for an entire section of a 

course. A grade of “N” is not issued to individual students by 

the instructor. 

Official Course Withdrawal (W) 

A student who withdraws from a regularly-scheduled course 

after the Last Day to Drop a Course for the term through the 

35th instructional day of the term will receive a grade of “W” 

for the course. Students who withdraw from a flexibly-scheduled 

course after the day designated as the Last Day to Drop a 

Course for that course section through the day designated as 

the Last Day to Withdraw from that course section will receive 

a grade of “W” for the course. The student must complete a 

withdrawal form in the Office of the Registrar. The date of 

withdrawal will be the time/date stamped in the Office of the 

Registrar. A “W” grade is not computed in the student’s grade 

point average. 

Audit (X) 

Students who are interested in taking a course solely for the 

value of the instruction may register to audit the course. No 

college credit may be earned or later claimed for an audited 

course. Regular tuition is charged for courses being audited. 

Requirements for attendance, completion of assignments, and 

examinations are the prerogatives of the instructor of the 

course. 

A student may not request a transfer from “credit” to “audit” 

or vice versa after the Last Day to Drop a Course for the term. 

Advanced Standing Credit 

(AC, CL, EC, EL, ET, EX, VO, TP) 

Advanced standing credit means that a student receives credit 

for completing a Cincinnati State course or cooperative education 

requirement by using one of the methods listed below 

to demonstrate successful completion of appropriate prior academic 

and/or work experience. Advanced standing credit is 

available to students who have been accepted into a degree or 

certificate program. 

Students seeking advanced standing credit must follow the 

college and divisional procedures described in the Cincinnati 

State Student Guide to Advanced Standing Credit. This publication 

is available in the Office of the Registrar and in each 

academic division's main office. 

The types of advanced standing credit are: 

External Proficiency Examination. The amount of credit 

given for an external proficiency examination is determined by 

the appropriate academic department. 

• Credit may be awarded for Advanced Placement (AP) scores 

of 3 or higher. Credit is shown on the student’s record as “AC.” 

• Credit is awarded for College Level Examination Program 

(CLEP) scores of 480 or higher. Credit is shown on the student’s 

record as “CL.” 

• Credit may be awarded for International Baccalaureate program 

scores of 5 or higher. Credit is shown on the student’s 

record as “IB.” 

Internal Cincinnati State Proficiency Exam. Credit is shown 

on the student's record as "EC." 

Credit for Applicable Work Experience. Credit is shown on 

the student’s record as “EX.” 

Credit for an External Certificate/Licensing Exam. Credit is 

shown on the student’s record as “EL.” 

Credit for an External Formal Training Program. Credit is 

shown on the student’s record as “ET.” 

Credit through Senior Vocational Teacher Referral. Credit is 

shown on the student’s record as “VO.” 

Credit for Tech Prep Coursework. Credit is shown on the 

student's record as "TP." 

Some types of advanced standing credit are not available in 

some degree or certificate programs. 

Students should be aware that advanced standing credit 

awarded by Cincinnati State may not be applicable to degrees 

at other colleges or universities. A student who intends to transfer 

to another college or university should consult with a transfer 

advisor at that institution concerning the transferability of 

Cincinnati State advanced standing credits. 

Students should make arrangements to apply for advanced 

standing credit as soon as possible after admission to a program. 

The steps for obtaining advanced standing credit are: 

1. The student obtains a Petition for Advanced Standing 

Credit from the Office of the Registrar. 

2. The student meets with his/her program chair or academic 

advisor to determine eligibility for advanced standing credit, 

and to determine which faculty member should receive the 

completed Petition and supporting documentation. 

3. If necessary, the student pays the advanced standing credit 

fee at the College Cashier’s Office, and the Petition is marked 

“paid.” This step applies to students seeking advanced standing 

credit either through internal proficiency exams or through 

documented valid academic or work experience. There is a 

separate fee charged for each attempt to earn credit through an 

internal proficiency exam. 

4. The student submits the completed Petition and supporting 

documentation to the appropriate faculty member, as determined 

in Step 2. 

5. After the Petition and related materials have been 

reviewed by appropriate division personnel, and the request 

for advanced standing credit has been approved or disapproved, 

the Petition is forwarded to the Office of the Registrar 

and the student is notified of the results. 

Students cannot earn credit through an exam for a course 

already completed at Cincinnati State. A course is defined as 

“completed” if a grade of A, B, C, D, F, S, U, or W has been 

issued. Students cannot earn credit through an exam during a 

term in which a No Show designation has been assigned for 

the course (see page 33). 

Additional information is contained in the Cincinnati State 

Student Guide to Advanced Standing Credit, available in the 

Registrar’s Office. 

29

Transfer of Credit 

Once a student is accepted in a degree or certificate program, 

official transcripts from previously attended colleges and universities 

submitted for admission will be forwarded to the 

Office of the Registrar for transfer of credit evaluation. Only 

coursework earned at a regionally-accredited institution with a 

grade of "C" or better will be acceptable in transfer. Once the 

evaluation of transfer work is completed, the student will 

receive, by mail, a Transfer Evaluation Report, which lists all 

credits awarded in transfer and what equivalent courses have 

been assigned at Cincinnati State. In the event that no equivalent 

course at Cincinnati State can be assigned, the transfer 

course will be accepted as elective credit. Whether or not 

courses accepted as elective credit are applicable to the student's 

degree or certificate program is at the discretion of the 

program chair or academic advisor. 

In situations where coursework is five years old or older, or 

where requisite skills may have been lost, courses previously 

taken at other institutions will be subject to review by the faculty 

and dean of the division that offers the equivalent 

course(s). Those courses reviewed which do not meet current 

program requirements and standards will not count towards 

degree or certificate requirements. 

Transfer credit accepted at Cincinnati State will appear on a 

student’s transcript as a cumulative number of hours accepted. 

Dean’s List 

Students who earn in one term 12 or more credit hours for 

academic courses for which quality points are awarded will 

qualify for Dean’s List status if their GPA for the current term is 

3.5 or greater and no grades of I, F, or U have been earned in 

the current term. Developmental Education courses beginning 

with "00" are not included in GPA calculations for the Dean’s 

List. 

Students who earn in one term between 6 and 11 credit hours 

of academic courses for which quality points are awarded will 

qualify for Academic Merit status if their GPA for the current 

term is 3.5 or greater and no grades of I, F, or U have been 

earned in the current term. Developmental Education courses 

beginning with "00" are not included in GPA calculations for 

Academic Merit. 

Students who receive a grade of "N" will not initially be eligible 

for Dean’s List or Academic Merit. To be eligible for 

Dean’s List or Academic Merit, the grade change for the "N" 

grade must be submitted to the Office of the Registrar by the 

end of the 10th instructional day of the following term. Grade 

changes for "N" grades submitted after the 10th instructional 

day of the following term will not be recalculated for Dean’s 

List or Academic Merit status. Recalculation for Dean’s List and 

Academic Merit status will be done only for "N" grades issued 

for the immediately preceding term and only if the grade 

change is submitted by the deadline. 

For all students, the GPA for the term will be calculated by 

taking the total quality points (grade point value per credit 

hour) awarded during the term, divided by the total credit 

hours for courses bearing quality points that are attempted during 

the term. 

Academic Probation, 

Suspension and Dismissal 

Cincinnati State students enrolled in a degree or certificate 

program must demonstrate satisfactory performance in order to 

remain in good standing at the College. Students who do not 

demonstrate satisfactory performance will be placed on 

Academic Probation. If the work of students on Probation does 

not improve, they may be subject to Academic Suspension and 

then Academic Dismissal from the College. 

A student cannot graduate from a degree or certificate program 

while on Academic Probation or Academic Suspension. 

Academic Probation 

• A student who has earned at least 12 credits and has a 

Cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA) below 2.0 is immediately 

placed on Academic Probation. 

• A student on Academic Probation must have his or her 

advisor’s permission before registering for any classes. The 

number of credits for which the student may register will be 

determined based on consultation with the advisor. 

Removal from Probation 

A student who is placed on Academic Probation will be 

reevaluated at the end of each enrolled term. 

To be removed from Probation status, both the student’s Term 

GPA and Cumulative GPA must be 2.0 or higher. A student will 

continue to be on Probation as long as the student’s 

Cumulative GPA is below 2.0. 

Academic Suspension 

If a student who is on Probation earns a Term GPA below 2.0 

in the next enrolled term, the student will be placed on 

Academic Suspension. 

A student placed on Academic Suspension may not register 

for any degree or certificate courses at Cincinnati State for two 

terms following the term after he or she was placed on 

Suspension. 

A student may appeal the Academic Suspension through a 

written request to the Academic Vice President. The written 

request must include a rationale for the appeal and supporting 

documentation. The decision of the Academic Vice President 

is final. 

Readmission after Suspension 

A student who is readmitted to the College after Suspension 

is subject to the following conditions: 

1. The student must meet with his or her program chair/advisor 

to determine a plan for academic success. 

2. The student must have his or her advisor’s permission 

before registering for any classes. 

3. The student must maintain a Term GPA of 2.0 or greater for 

every enrolled term. The student will continue to be considered 

on Probation as long as the student’s Cumulative GPA is 

less than 2.0. 

Academic Dismissal 

Cincinnati State expects students to be able to demonstrate 

continued academic success. A student who has been readmitted 

after Suspension and is still on Probation (because of a 

Cumulative GPA below 2.0) is expected to raise the 

Cumulative GPA to 2.0 or above within three terms. Failure to 

attain a Cumulative GPA of 2.0 or above within three terms will 

result in Academic Dismissal. 

A student who has been Academically Dismissed may not 

register for any courses for a period of one year. 

A student may appeal the Academic Dismissal through a writ- 

30

ten request to the Academic Vice President. The written request 

must include the rationale for the appeal and supporting documentation. 

The decision of the Academic Vice President is 

final. 

Registration 

Students have the option of registering in person in the Office 

of the Registrar, through a touch-tone telephone, or over the 

Web. Please refer to the Term Bulletin for details for using a 

touch-tone telephone or the Web. 

Registration for a term usually begins four weeks before the 

term begins. 

For specific dates of registration and information regarding 

touch-tone and Web registration, please refer to the Term 

Bulletin or contact the Office of the Registrar at (513) 569-1522. 

Enrollment Verification 

Students may submit enrollment verification request(s) to the 

Office of the Registrar. Depending on the information requested, 

Enrollment Verifications may take up to five (5) days to 

process. 

Enrollment status is determined by the official number of 

credit hours for which a student is registered each term. 

Enrollment status often is used to help determine eligibility for 

financial aid, veterans benefits, company and agency funding, 

and health benefits. 

Students are responsible for knowing their enrollment status 

and understanding the impact of changing credit hours by the 

add/drop process. 

Generally, Cincinnati State will define a student's enrollment 

as follows: 

Full-Time 

Enrollment 

12 or more credit hours or full-time 

cooperative education placement 

3/4 Time 9 - 10 - 11 credit hours 

Enrollment 

1/2 Time 6 - 7 - 8 credit hours 

Enrollment 

Less than 5 or fewer credit hours 

Half-Time Enrollment 

Students placed on a part-time cooperative education placement 

are not considered half-time students for the purpose of 

enrollment verification. 

Completing More Than One Degree 

("Double Major") 

When a student is admitted to the College he or she is considered 

to be seeking only one academic degree or certificate. 

In some cases, students may seek to "double major" by pursuing 

more than one associate degree in an area that is closely 

related to their initial degree program. 

To be considered for a "double major," a student must first be 

admitted to an associate degree program. (Students who are 

seeking a certificate rather than a degree are not eligible to 

apply for "double major" status.) 

To be considered for a "double major," a student must apply 

for admission to the second program by completing a form 

available from the Office of Admission. The academic division 

in which the student seeks the second major will determine 

whether the student is eligible to pursue the second major. 

Students who are granted "double major" status are expected 

to consult regularly with their program advisor (or advisors) to 

ensure that they are making appropriate progress in their 

degree programs. 

Students with questions or concerns about their academic 

status or goals should consult with their program advisor, or 

with the Admission and Counseling Office. 

Changing Degree Programs 

Students who wish to transfer from one degree or certificate 

program to another must complete a Change of Degree 

Program form and submit it to the College Admission Office. 

Calculation of Program GPA for a Student Who Transfers to a 

New Degree Program - When a student transfers from one 

degree or certificate program to another, all courses attempted 

that apply to the new audit curriculum, with the exception of 

cooperative education courses, will automatically transfer to the 

new program. The new program's audit curriculum will serve as 

the basis for calculating the program grade point average. 

Additional transfer of courses to the new program, including 

cooperative education courses, will be evaluated by the divisional 

faculty and dean on an individual basis. 

Repeated Course 

If a course is repeated, only the highest grade is computed in 

the calculation of the GPA. If a student earns the same grade 

upon repeating a course, only one grade will be computed in 

the calculation of the GPA. The original course grade will continue 

to be shown on the transcript even though it is not calculated 

in the GPA. 

A student who has received a grade of "F," "W," or an equivalent 

grade twice for the same course cannot register for the 

course a third time without written permission of the student’s 

program chair/advisor. The program chair/advisor may require 

the student to meet with a Cincinnati State professional counselor 

to discuss potential for success in the student’s current 

degree or certificate program. 

Academic Reassessment 

Policies 

Fresh Start and Forgiveness 

Cincinnati State recognizes that in some circumstances students 

may seek an opportunity to have their grade point averages 

(cumulative and program) adjusted to reflect their academic success 

in their current program. Two methods are available for 

seeking reassessment: 

• Fresh Start applies to a student who is returning to 

Cincinnati State after an absence of three years or more. 

• Academic Forgiveness applies to a student who has been 

attending Cincinnati State continuously, or who is returning to 

Cincinnati State after an absence of less than three years. 

Both of these methods of academic reassessment are onetime, 

non-reversible options. These options do not apply to 

courses previously applied to an Ohio Board of Regentsauthorized 

degree or certificate earned at Cincinnati State. 

31

Fresh Start 

The Fresh Start policy allows a student who is returning to 

Cincinnati State after an absence of three or more years a onetime, 

non-reversible option to have his or her cumulative grade 

point average and program grade point average recalculated 

by removing courses in which the student received a grade of 

“D,” “F” or “V” which are no longer applicable to the student’s 

current degree or certificate program. 

To be eligible for a Fresh Start, a student must first have completed 

all re-admission procedures and requirements, be 

admitted to an OBR-authorized degree or certificate program, 

have completed all developmental education and any other 

prerequisite courses that apply to the program, and be enrolled 

beyond the fifteenth calendar day of the term for which the 

Fresh Start is requested. 

The steps for obtaining a Fresh Start are: 

1. The student meets with his or her program chair or academic 

advisor and completes a Petition for Fresh Start, available 

in each division office. The Petition includes a list of the 

courses in which the student received a grade of “D,” “F” or 

“V” that will no longer be calculated in the student’s cumulative 

and program grade point averages, for one or more of 

these reasons: 

• The course taken previously is not part of the audit curriculum 

for the student’s current program. 

• The course taken previously pertains to technical 

skill/knowledge that is not up-to-date. 

2. The student submits the completed Petition to the Office 

of the Registrar. A student wishing to apply for Fresh Start must 

submit the petition within two terms of re-enrolling at 

Cincinnati State after an absence of three or more years. 

• A Petition will not be approved if submitted by a student 

who has 12 credits or fewer to complete in a degree 

program. 

3. When the Petition is approved, this statement will be 

added to the student’s transcript: “The Fresh Start policy has 

been applied to academic work at Cincinnati State prior to 

(term/year of Petition approval).” The student’s cumulative 

grade point average and program grade point average will be 

recalculated based on the new set of applicable courses. 

The Fresh Start policy can be applied only once, and it cannot 

be reversed. 

Students planning to transfer to another college or university 

are cautioned that the receiving institution may use all grades 

earned in computing grade point averages for admission or 

other purposes. 

Academic Forgiveness 

The Academic Forgiveness policy allows any Cincinnati State 

student a one-time, non-reversible option to have his or her 

cumulative grade point average and program grade point average 

recalculated by forgiving up to 18 credit hours of coursework 

in which a grade of “D,” “F” or “V” was earned. 

To be eligible for Academic Forgiveness, a student must be 

currently admitted to an OBR-authorized degree or certificate 

program and must have completed all prerequisite courses that 

apply to the student’s current degree or certificate program. 

The steps for obtaining Academic Forgiveness are: 

1. The student meets with his/her program chair or academic 

advisor and completes a Petition for Academic Forgiveness, 

available in each division office. The Petition includes a list of 

the courses that will be forgiven. 

2. The student submits the completed Petition to the Office 

of the Registrar. The Petition must be submitted to the Office 

of the Registrar by the Last Day to Drop a Course for the term 

in which the initial evaluation is to be done. 

3. Petitions are evaluated at the end of the term. For the 

Petition to be approved, the student must complete a minimum 

of 12 additional credits, while maintaining a term GPA of 2.0 

or better. Only courses earning quality points (grade point 

value per credit hour) are applicable for the 12 additional credits. 

Developmental Education courses beginning in “00” and 

co-op courses are not applicable. 

• A Petition will not be approved if submitted by a student 

who has 12 credits or fewer to complete in a degree 

program. 

• If a student has not completed 12 credits at the end of the 

term in which the Petition is submitted, the Petition will be 

held in the Office of the Registrar, and will be reviewed 

again at the end of each term until the student completes 

the required 12 credits. 

• If a student submits a Petition after the Last Day to Drop a 

Course for the term, the courses being taken during that 

term will not be applied to the required 12 credits, and the 

Petition will not be evaluated until the end of the following 

term. 

4. When the Petition is approved, this statement will be 

added to the student’s transcript: “Academic Forgiveness has 

been applied to academic work at Cincinnati State prior to 

(term/year of Petition approval).” The student’s cumulative 

grade point average and program grade point average will be 

recalculated based on the new set of applicable courses. 

The Academic Forgiveness policy can be applied only once, 

and it cannot be reversed. 

Students planning to transfer to another college or university 

are cautioned that the receiving institution may use all grades 

earned in computing grade point averages for admission or 

other purposes. 

Academic Procedures 

Academic Appeals Procedure 

Cincinnati State Technical and Community College has 

adopted the following procedures to ensure that students with 

legitimate concerns about academic processes (hereafter 

called "academic appeals") can resolve these concerns equitably. 

A student is expected to first attempt to resolve concerns 

directly with the instructor, within two terms of when the grade 

was issued. 

1. A student is expected to bring his or her academic appeal 

first to his or her faculty advisor (program chair or cooperative 

education coordinator). 

2. If the concern cannot be settled at this level, the student is 

expected to bring his or her academic appeal to the division 

dean or the dean’s designee. 

3. It is expected that most academic appeals will be resolved 

at the division level. However, if the concern cannot be 

resolved by the division dean, the student may continue 

the academic appeals process by meeting with an academic 

appeals panel. To initiate this process, the student 

must submit a written request to appeal the decision of the 

division dean, including a statement of the concern that is 

to be addressed, and pertinent documentation, to the 

Academic Vice President. The Academic Vice President 

32

will review all pertinent information in order to determine if 

the appeal merits the formation of a panel. If the Academic 

Vice President determines that an appeals panel should appropriately 

be formed, the process continues with step four. If the 

Academic Vice President does not feel the student’s appeal 

merits the formation of a panel, he will meet with the student 

involved and relay his findings and recommendations. 

4. If an academic appeals panel is convened, it will be composed 

of one dean (excluding the dean of the division 

involved in the appeal), appointed by the Academic Vice 

President; and two faculty members, appointed by the 

Faculty Senate. The designated dean will chair the panel, 

solicit appointment of the faculty representatives, convene 

meetings of the panel, and provide copies of necessary 

documentation to the other panel members. 

Documentation will include: 

a. The student's written statement and other material 

the student wishes to submit. 

b. A written summary of the disposition of the case 

at the division level, prepared by the division's dean. 

c. The student's transcript, or any other related materials 

the panel may wish to examine. 

5. The chair will convene a meeting that includes the student, 

the members of the panel, and other participants the 

panel may choose to invite to the meeting. The student 

will have an opportunity to present his or her concern, 

and the panel members will have the opportunity to ask 

questions and seek clarification. If the panel determines 

there are issues involved which are not academic concerns, 

the panel will inform the student of appropriate 

measures to be taken. 

6. The panel may, at its own discretion, refer the matter to 

the Academic Policies & Curriculum Committee (APCC) 

for advice and recommendations. 

7. If the APCC is to be convened to review the appeal, the 

panel chair must ensure that all related documentation is 

submitted to the APCC chair one week prior to the APCC 

meeting. Any recommendations made by the APCC will be 

submitted to the academic appeals panel for consideration. 

8. The chair of the academic appeals panel will forward a 

recommendation along with all related documentation to 

the Academic Vice President (chief academic officer) of 

the College. The chief academic officer will make the 

final determination regarding the appeal and will notify 

the dean of the division involved in the appeal. That dean 

will communicate this determination to the student who 

initiated the appeal. 

Attendance 

Each student is expected to attend all classes and cooperative 

education/clinical placements as scheduled. Each College faculty 

member is expected to take attendance at every class section, 

in accordance with a resolution of the College Board of 

Trustees. Attendance in cooperative education and clinical 

placements is reported by the Cooperative Education/Clinical 

Coordinator based on reports from the student’s site coordinator. 

Individual faculty members may establish course policies that 

consider attendance as a factor in determining course grades. 

Each student should check with his or her instructors to determine 

how attendance will be taken and in what ways, if any, 

attendance is a factor in grading. 

A student who enrolls in a course but does not attend any 

classes during the first two weeks will be designated by the 

instructor as a No Show (NS). 

Additional policies related to attendance appear in the next 

section under point 6, “Non Attendance.” 

Adding, Dropping or Withdrawing 

from a Course 

The College Term Bulletin lists the dates when students may 

add, drop or withdraw from a course after completing their initial 

registration. Add, drop or withdrawal transactions are not 

official unless processed on the touch-tone or web registration 

system or the appropriate form has been processed by the 

Office of the Registrar. The appropriate forms for registration 

activity can be obtained in the Office of the Registrar. The following 

regulations apply to all courses offered during the term: 

1. Adding a course: 

a. Prior to the first course meeting of the term, no 

approval is required to enter an opened course with 

no instructor consent requirement; 

b. Once a course has met, the approval of the instructor 

of the course must be obtained. 

c. From the seventh through the fourteenth calendar day 

of the term, the approval of the instructor and dean 

are required to register for a course. In an instance 

when the seventh calendar day falls on a weekend or 

holiday, the last day to enter a course will be the preceding 

day. 

d. The fourteenth calendar day of the term is the last day 

to enter a course. 

2. Dropping a course: 

a. Courses dropped from the time of registration 

through the fourteenth calendar day of the term do 

not need additional approval to be processed. 

b. The fourteenth calendar day of the term is the last 

day to drop a course. In an instance when the fourteenth 

day falls on a weekend or holiday, the last day 

to drop a course will be the preceding day. 

3. Withdrawing from a course: 

a. The Withdrawal period for regularly scheduled 

courses begins each term the day after the Last Day 

to Drop a Course and ends on the 35th instructional 

day. The Withdrawal period for flexibly scheduled 

courses begins after the day designated as the Last 

Day to Drop a Course for that course section through 

the day designated as the Last Day to Withdraw from 

that course section. No additional approval is 

required to withdraw from a course during this period. 

b. Only in circumstances beyond the student’s control 

will a Withdrawal be permitted after the 35th instructional 

day. All official withdrawals must be approved 

by the instructor of the course and the division dean. 

In cases not approved, the student will receive the 

grade assigned by the instructor. 

4. Course Drop/Withdrawal Grading Policy 

a. Through the fourteenth calendar day of each term, 

courses officially dropped in the Office of the 

Registrar will not appear on students’ transcripts. 

b. During the Withdrawal Period, official withdrawals 

will be assigned a grade of “W.” The “W” will 

appear on the student’s transcript, however will not 

be calculated into the grade point average. 

33

c. The instructor may not issue a “W” as the final grade. 

A “W” is assigned only if the student has completed 

the withdrawal process in the Office of the Registrar. 

5. Flexibly Scheduled Courses-the following policies and procedures 

pertain to Flexibly Scheduled Course Sections only: 

a. Course sections with a beginning and/or ending date 

different than the first and last days of the normal 

term schedule are considered flexibly scheduled. 

Flexibly Scheduled Course Sections are identified in 

the course 

schedule with an alphabetical section designation. 

b. Students may register for a flexibly scheduled course 

section with no additional approvals up to the first 

course meeting. 

c. A student may enter a flexibly scheduled course section 

by the date established as the Last Day to Enter 

a Course for that course section. Registrations 

beyond the date established as the Last Day to Enter 

a Course for that flexibly scheduled course section 

should not be permitted. 

d. A student may drop a flexibly scheduled course section 

without a grade appearing on their record by the 

date established as the Last Day to Drop a Course for 

that course section. 

e. A student may withdraw from a flexibly scheduled 

course section from the date established as the Last 

Day to Drop a Course for that section through the 

date established as the Last Day to Withdraw from a 

Course for that section. 

6. Non-Attendance. The following policies apply to all courses. 

a. Instructors are required to document student attendance 

in each course meeting throughout the term. 

b. From the first day of the term until the First Day to 

Withdraw for the term, students who drop or withdraw 

from a course must identify whether or not they 

attended the course section. 

c. A student who enrolls in a course but does not attend 

the course within the first two weeks will be designated 

a No Show (NS) by the instructor. 

d. If there is a discrepancy between a student’s self-reported 

attendance and the attendance status reported by 

an instructor, the attendance status reported by the 

instructor will be the status of record. 

e. Students are not permitted to begin attending a 

course section after a No Show (NS) has been issued 

by the instructor or self-reported by the student for 

that course section. 

f. The designation of No Show (NS) will not appear on 

the student’s transcript. 

g. A student who receives a No Show (NS) designation 

for a course is still financially responsible for payment 

for the course. Federal Financial Aid is not 

applicable to a course for which a student has 

received a No Show (NS) designation. 

A student is not permitted to withdraw from a course he or she 

did not attend or to which a No Show (NS) has been assigned. 

Procedures for Students Called to Active Duty 

A student enlisted in the military reserves or National Guard 

who is called to active duty and who cannot complete his or 

her coursework for a given term may drop or withdraw from all 

courses by doing any of the following:

Scheduling of Classes 

Weekday classes are scheduled to begin any time from 7:00 

a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Some courses are regularly offered on 

Saturday and on Sunday. 

In the event of adverse conditions, it may be necessary to cancel 

some classes. The College will rarely close completely. 

Local radio and television stations may begin announcing 

Cincinnati State’s operating status as early as 6:15 a.m. on the 

day involved. 

The status of the evening classes will be handled by a separate 

announcement in the afternoon. 

Make-Up 

The privilege of making up missed assignments, quizzes, 

tests, exams, and other course activities is not automatic. An 

instructor does not have to permit or grant make-up privileges. 

It is the responsibility of the student to be aware of instructors’ 

make-up policies, and to seek this information from the 

instructor if necessary. 

Faculty Office Hours 

All full-time College faculty maintain office hours to conduct 

in-person meetings with students. Some faculty members also 

maintain online office hours for communication with students 

by e-mail. Students should check with each instructor, or the 

receptionist in the instructor’s division office area, to schedule 

appointments. 

Children on Campus 

Cincinnati State Technical and Community College strives to 

maintain an environment conducive to teaching and learning. 

Therefore, whenever children are brought to the campus they 

must remain with their parents, guardians, or caretakers in all 

areas of the College. Whether or not a child can be brought 

into a classroom will be at the discretion of each instructor. 

If the College's campus security officers find any child left 

unattended, they will locate the parent/caretaker so that the 

child can be cared for properly. Above all else, the College 

wishes to insure the safety and well being of each child.

State of Ohio Policy for 

Institutional Transfer 

Note: The following information is a policy of the Ohio 

Board of Regents. 

The Ohio Board of Regents, following the directive of the 

Ohio General Assembly, developed a statewide policy to facilitate 

students’ ability to transfer credits from one Ohio public 

college or university to another in order to avoid duplication of 

course requirements. Since independent colleges and universities 

in Ohio may or may not be participating in the transfer 

policy, students interested in transferring to independent institutions 

are encouraged to check with the college or university 

of their choice regarding transfer agreements. 

The Ohio Board of Regents’ Transfer and Articulation Policy 

established the Transfer Module, which is a subset or entire set 

of a college or university’s general education program. 

Transfer Module contains 54 to 60 quarter hours (or 36-40 

semester hours) of course credits in the following areas: 

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 

another college or university once the student is admitted. 

Students may be required, however, to meet additional general 

education requirements at the institution to which they 

transfer. For example, a student who completes the Transfer 

Module at Institution S (sending institution) and then transfers 

to Institution R (receiving institution) is said to have completed 

the Transfer Module portion of Institution R’s general education 

program. Institution R, however, may require additional general 

education courses beyond the Transfer Module. 

Since many degree programs require specific courses that 

may be taken as a part of the general education or Transfer 

Module program at an institution, students are encouraged to 

meet with an academic advisor at the institution to which they 

plan to transfer early in their academic career. For example, 

students who will be majoring in any of the majors in the 

College of Business and Administration at the receiving institution 

should take Economics 201, 202, and 203 (or equivalent 

course at another institution) rather than the Economics 200 

course listed as a part of the Transfer Module. Because of specific 

major requirements such as these, early identification of a 

student’s intended major is encouraged. Advisors at the institution 

to which a student wishes to transfer should be consulted 

regarding Transfer Module and general education courses 

and any specific program requirements that can be completed 

before transfer. 

Conditions for Transfer Admission 

1. The policy encourages receiving institutions to give preferential 

consideration for admission to students who complete 

the Associate of Arts or Associate of Science degree 

with a cumulative grade point of 2.0 or better for all previous 

college level courses. 

2. The policy also encourages receiving institutions to give 

preferential treatment to students who have not earned an 

Associate of Arts or Associate of Science degree but have 

earned 60 semester hours or 90 quarter hours with a 

cumulative grade point of 2.0 or better for all previous 

college level courses. 

3. The policy further encourages that students who have not 

earned an Associate of Arts or Associate of Science degree 

or who have not earned 60 semester hours or 90 quarter 

hours with a cumulative grade point of 2.0 or better for all 

previous college level courses are eligible for admission 

as transfer students on a competitive basis. 

Acceptance of Transfer Credit 

1. Students who have completed the Associate of Arts or 

Associate of Science degree with a cumulative grade 

point of 2.0 or better will receive transfer credit for all college 

level courses in which a grade of “D” or better has 

been earned. 

2. Students who have not earned an Associate of Arts or 

Associate of Science degree will receive transfer credit for 

all college level courses in which a grade of “C” or better 

has been earned. 

Admission to a given institution, however, does not guarantee 

that a transfer student will be automatically admitted to all 

majors, minors, or fields of concentration at the institution. 

Once admitted, transfer students shall be subject to the same 

regulations governing applicability of catalog requirements as 

all other students. Furthermore, transfer students shall be 

36

accorded the same class standing and other privileges as all 

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

residency requirements must be successfully completed at the 

receiving institution prior to the granting of a degree. 

Responsibilities of Students 

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. 

State of Ohio Appeals Process 

A student disagreeing with the application of transfer credit 

by the receiving institution shall be informed of the right to 

appeal the decision and of the process for filing the appeal. 

Each institution shall make available to students the appeal 

process for that specific college or university. 

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

all appeal levels within the institution have been exhausted, 

the institution shall advise the student in writing of the availability 

and process of appeal to the state-level Articulation and 

Transfer Appeals Review Committee. 

The Appeals Review Committee shall review and recommend 

to institutions the resolution of individual cases of appeal 

from transfer students who have exhausted all local appeal 

mechanisms concerning applicability of transfer credits at 

receiving institutions. 

Cincinnati State Transfer Module 

Appeal Process 

Should a student transferring into Cincinnati State be dissatisfied 

with the credit awarded as part of the transfer module program 

of the State of Ohio, an internal appeal process and an 

external appeal process are both available. 

The internal appeal process must be utilized first. At 

Cincinnati State, the internal appeal process for a student dissatisfied 

with credit awarded as part of the transfer module program 

is the College Academic Appeals Procedure, described 

previously in this section of the Catalog. 

The external appeal process may be utilized only after the 

internal appeal process has been completed and the student 

remains dissatisfied with the institution’s judgement. The 

external appeal will be conducted by the Statewide Appeals 

Review Committee. More information on this process is available 

from the Ohio Board of Regents in Columbus, Ohio. 

Graduation 

Requirements 

To qualify for the associate degree, a student must be admitted 

to a degree program, complete the program requirements 

as identified in the audit curriculum, attain at least a 2.0 cumulative 

and program GPA, and petition to graduate. 

Completion is defined as earning the grade A, B, C, D, or S 

for any course. An earned D may not count toward graduation, 

depending on program and/or division policies. 

As part of the graduation requirements for the Associate of 

Applied Business (AAB), Associate of Applied Science (AAS), 

Associate of Individualized Study (AIS), and Associate of 

Technical Study (ATS) degrees, a student must complete at least 

21 credit hours in general education areas, distributed as follows: 

• Communication Skills – 12 credits 

9 credits written communication (department code ENG) 

3 credits oral communication (department code SPE) 

• Social Sciences and Humanities – 

9 credits, selected from these areas: 

Social/Behavioral Sciences, including: 

economics (department code ECO) 

geography (department code GEO) 

history 

(department code HST) 

labor relations (department code LBR) 

political science (department code POL) 

psychology (department code PSY) 

sociology (department code SOC 

Arts/Humanities, including: 

art 

(department code ART) 

culture studies (department code CULT) 

foreign languages (department codes FRN, GRM, 

SPN, SPB) 

literature (department code LIT) 

music 

(department code MUS) 

philosophy (department code PHI) 

theatre 

(department code THE) 

Students seeking an AAB, AAS, AIS, or ATS degree should 

consult the curriculum for their program, published elsewhere 

in this Catalog, to determine how the general education 

requirements should be met. Individual degree programs may 

require students to complete program-specified general education 

courses, or may permit students to choose some general 

education elective courses. Transfer credit for Social Sciences 

or Humanities courses completed at another institution, in disciplines 

not listed above, may be applied toward Cincinnati 

State graduation requirements, with the program chair’s permission. 

Students seeking the Associate of Arts or Associate of Science 

degree must meet the general education requirements 

described on pages 62-64. 

College Orientation Requirement 

All Cincinnati State students who are enrolled in a degree 

program are required to complete the college orientation 

course CAR 9002, College Success Strategies. This requirement 

applies to all degree-seeking students who enrolled in the 

College during or after Early Fall 2001. 

Some certificate programs also require students to complete 

CAR 9002. Each certificate program that requires completion 

37

of CAR 9002 is indicated in the Academic Divisions section of 

this Catalog. This requirement applies to certificate-seeking students 

who enrolled in the College during or after Early Fall 2001. 

Students must complete the orientation course requirement 

within the first 18 credit hours taken at Cincinnati State. 

A degree-seeking or certificate-seeking student who has 

already successfully completed 18 or more credits of collegelevel 

courses and has received Cincinnati State transfer credit 

for these courses is not required to complete CAR 9002. 

The course CAR 9002 introduces students to the college 

experience and to Cincinnati State’s expectations and 

resources for new students. This course earns college credit, 

but it does not fulfill general studies or core course requirements 

for degree or certificate programs. 

Residency Requirement 

Students seeking a degree at Cincinnati State Technical and 

Community College, except those seeking the Associate of 

Technical Studies degree or other special training programs, 

must complete at least 45 credit hours of college-level, non-coop/non-clinical 

credit hours at Cincinnati State. Credit hours 

earned in courses which combine class and lab hours will be 

considered “non-clinical” credit hours for the purpose of the 

residency requirement. 

Students seeking an Associate of Applied Business or 

Associate of Applied Science degree must earn a minimum of 

fifty-percent of college-level, non-co-op-/non-clinical technical 

coursework (as identified in the Associate Degree Program 

Summary) required for their program at Cincinnati State. The 

resident credit hours required for the degree program are applicable 

to the College Residency Requirement. 

Students seeking a certificate at Cincinnati State Technical 

and Community College must complete a minimum of fiftypercent 

of their certificate program requirements at Cincinnati 

State. 

Advanced Standing Credit is not applicable to the College 

Residency Requirement. Credit earned at Cincinnati State 

through the Greater Cincinnati Consortium of Colleges and 

Universities is applicable to the College Residency 

Requirement. 

In Associate of Technical Study and Associate of 

Individualized Study programs, the residency requirement 

shall be no less than 30 credits at Cincinnati State. 

Students who transfer to Cincinnati State from another 

accredited Ohio college or university with a completed 

Transfer Module are subject to the guidelines in the "State of 

Ohio Policy for Institutional Transfer” statement found elsewhere 

in this section of the Catalog. 

Certificate Programs 

To qualify for a certificate, a student must be admitted to a certificate 

program, fulfill the certificate program requirements as 

identified in the audit curriculum, attain at least a 2.0 cumulative 

and program GPA, and petition to graduate. The residency 

requirement for certificate-seeking students is the same as the 

requirement for degree-seeking students, as stated above. 

Graduation Petition 

A student must file a graduation petition in order to graduate. 

Any matriculated student may file a graduation petition when 

he or she has earned and/or transferred in a combined total of 

seventy (70) credit hours towards an associate degree and a 

38 

combined total of forty (40) credit hours towards a one-year 

certificate. A less than one year certificate should be turned in 

according to the schedule below and corresponding with when 

the student will complete the certificate. The petition must be 

filed in the Office of the Registrar twenty (20) weeks prior to the 

date of completed coursework.

Academic Integrity 

Policy of Cincinnati 

State Technical and 


Ethical conduct is the obligation of every member of the 

Cincinnati State Technical and Community College community. 

Violations of academic integrity constitute serious breaches 

of ethical behavior. Academic integrity requires that all academic 

work be wholly the product of an identified individual. 

Violations of Academic Integrity 

The following acts of misconduct are subject to disciplinary 

actions as described in Article III, section (2)(a) of the 

Cincinnati State Technical and Community College Student 

Code of Conduct. 

A. Cheating: Cheating includes, but is not limited to: 

1. Use of any unauthorized assistance in taking quizzes, 

tests, or examinations, or completing assignments. 

2. Dependence upon the aid of sources beyond those 

authorized by the instructor in writing papers, preparing 

reports, solving problems, or completing assignments. 

3. The acquisition, without permission, of tests or other 

academic materials belonging to a member of the College 

faculty or staff. 

4. Copying computer files, text, or images of other students 

or downloading information from the Internet and 

representing this work as one’s own. 

B. Fabrication: The falsification or invention of any information 

or citation in an academic exercise. “Invented” information 

may not be used in any laboratory experiment or other 

academic exercise without authorization from the instructor. 

For example, it is improper to analyze one sample in an experiment 

and covertly “invent” data based on that single experiment 

for several more required analyses. 

C. Facilitating Academic Dishonesty: Knowingly or negligently 

allowing one’s own work to be used by other students 

or otherwise aiding in academic dishonesty. 

D. Plagiarism: The representation of the words or ideas of 

another as one’s own in any academic exercise. To avoid plagiarism, 

every direct quotation must be identified by quotation 

marks or by appropriate indentation and must be properly 

cited in the text or in a footnote. Acknowledgement is required 

when material from another source is paraphrased or summarized 

in whole or in part in one’s own work. The correct form 

for documenting direct quotations and for acknowledging paraphrased 

material may be found in numerous writing manuals 

or handbooks. The faculty in English at Cincinnati State 

Technical and Community College endorse the MLA style. 

However, some instructors may require other types of documentation. 

Students should refer to the instructor’s syllabus for 

guidance on the proper style. 

E. Denying Others Access to Information or Material: Denying 

others access to scholarly resources or deliberately impeding 

the progress of another student. Examples of offenses of this 

type include giving other students false or misleading information, 

making library material unavailable to others by stealing 

or defacing books or journals, or by deliberately misplacing or 

39 

destroying reserved materials, stealing another’s paper or project, 

or altering computer files that belong to another. 

Academic Integrity Violations Procedure 

A. If an instructor has reason to believe a violation of academic 

integrity has occurred, the procedure will start in the 

classroom as outlined by the instructor’s syllabus. Penalties 

imposed by the instructor are limited to those actions whose 

ramifications fall within the confines of the class, i.e., failure of 

the assignment or failure of the course. Only the Academic 

Vice President can impose suspension or dismissal from the 

College. The instructor has the option of filing a report of the 

incident with the Academic Vice President for documentation 

purposes. 

B. The instructor may proceed with a formal charge of 

Academic Dishonesty and recommended sanctions to the 

Academic Vice President (AVP). The AVP may administer the 

disciplinary action recommended by the faculty member or a 

penalty deemed more appropriate. If the student accepts the 

charge, the AVP will assign sanctions, and the case will be 

closed. If the student challenges the finding of the AVP and 

maintains his/her innocence, the case will move forward to an 

Academic Integrity Panel. The student must submit the challenge 

to the AVP within 5 working days of the AVP’s notification 

of sanctions. 

C. The Academic Integrity Panel consists of: 

• 2 students appointed by the Student Senate 

• 2 faculty members appointed by the Faculty Senate 

• 1 Dean appointed by the Academic Vice President 

The case will be heard within 10 working days of receipt of 

the student’s written challenge. 

D. The student accused of Academic Dishonesty may be 

accompanied at the Academic Integrity hearing by a person or 

persons of his/her choice, not to exceed 3 individuals. The role 

of the persons accompanying the student is limited to providing 

support to the student. Individuals accompanying the student 

may not present information or answer questions in place 

of the student. 

1. Both the Academic Integrity Panel and the student may 

call witnesses for the hearing. 

2. All hearings will be closed. 

E. The decision of the Academic Integrity Panel regarding the 

guilt of the student is reached by majority vote in a session of 

Panel members only. The decision of the Panel is communicated 

in writing to the Academic Vice President, along with 

recommended sanctions, within 10 working days of the final 

day of panel hearings. The findings of the Academic Integrity 

Panel and penalty administered by the Academic Vice 

President are final. 

Penalties 

Possible sanctions are described in Article IV, section (D)(2) 

of the Cincinnati State Technical and Community College 

Student Code of Conduct. They include: 

A. Warning 

B. Probation 

C. Loss of Privileges 

D. Fines 

E. Restitution 

F. Discretionary Sanctions 

G. College Suspension 

H. College Expulsion

In each case of Academic Dishonesty that is brought forward 

to the office of Academic Affairs, the Academic Vice President 

or the Academic Integrity Panel determines the disciplinary 

action to be taken. The Academic Vice President administers 

the disciplinary action.

(3) VIOLATION OF LAW AND COLLEGE DISCIPLINE 

(a) If a student is charged only with an off-campus violation 

of federal, state, or local laws, but not with any other violation 

of this code, disciplinary action may be taken by the college 

and sanctions imposed for grave misconduct which demonstrates 

flagrant disregard for the college community. In such 

cases, no sanction may be imposed unless the student has been 

found guilty in a court of law or has declined to contest such 

charges, although not actually admitting guilt (e.g., “no contest” 

or “nolo contendere”). 

(b) Cincinnati State Technical and Community College disciplinary 

proceedings may be instituted against a student 

charged with violation of a law which is also a violation of this 

student code, for example, if both violations result from the 

same factual situation, without regard to the pendency of civil 

litigation in court or criminal arrest and prosecution. 

Proceedings under this student code may be carried out prior 

to, simultaneously with, or following civil or criminal proceedings 

off-campus. 

(c) When a student is charged by federal, state, or local 

authorities with a violation of law, the college will not request 

or agree to special consideration for that individual because of 

his or her status as a student. If the alleged offense is also the 

subject of a proceeding before a judicial body under the student 

code, however, the college may advise off-campus 

authorities of the existence of the student code and of how 

such matters will be handled internally within the college community. 

The college will cooperate fully with law enforcement 

and other agencies in the enforcement of criminal law on campus 

and in the conditions imposed by criminal courts for the 

rehabilitation of student violators. Individual students and faculty 

members, acting in their personal capacities, remain free 

to interact with government representatives as they deem 

appropriate. 

D. ARTICLE IV: JUDICIAL POLICIES 

(1) CHARGES AND HEARING 

a. Any member of the college community may file charges 

against any student for misconduct. Charges shall be prepared 

41

in writing and directed to the judicial advisor, or the administrative 

designee, responsible for the administration of the college 

judicial system. Any charge should be submitted as soon 

as possible after the event takes place, preferably within (twenty-four 

hours). 

In the event of an incident that is life threatening or that poses 

serious injury, campus safety/security will operate as the judicial 

advisor designee. The judicial advisor or the administrative 

designee will be notified, as soon as possible, not later 

than twenty-four hours after the incident. 

b. The judicial advisor, or the administrative designee, may 

conduct an investigation to determine if the charges have merit 

and/or if they can be disposed of administratively by mutual 

consent of the parties involved on a basis acceptable to the judicial 

advisor. Such disposition shall be final and there shall be 

no subsequent proceedings. If the charges cannot be disposed 

of by mutual consent, the judicial advisor may later serve in the 

same matter as the judicial body or a member thereof. 

c. All charges shall be presented to the accused student in 

written form. A time shall be set for a hearing, not less than five 

nor more than fifteen calendar days after the student has been 

notified. Maximum time limited for scheduling of hearings 

may be extended at the discretion of the judicial advisor. 

d. Hearings shall be conducted by a judicial body according 

to the following guidelines: 

(i) Hearings normally shall be conducted in private. 

At the request of the accused student, and subject to the discretion 

of the judicial advisor, a representative of the student 

press may be admitted, but shall not have the privilege of participating 

in the hearing. 

(ii) Admission of any person to the hearing shall be 

at the discretion of the judicial body and/or its judicial advisor. 

(iii) In hearings involving more than one accused 

student, the judicial advisor of the judicial body, in his/her discretion, 

may permit the hearings concerning each student to be 

conducted separately. 

(iv) The complainant and the accused have the right 

to be assisted by any advisor they choose, at their own 

expense. The advisor may be an attorney. The complainant 

and/or the accused is responsible for presenting his or her case 

and, therefore, advisors are not permitted to speak or to participate 

directly in any hearing before a judicial body. 

(v) The complainant, the accused and the judicial 

body shall have the privilege of presenting witnesses, subject 

to the right of cross examination by the judicial body. 

(vi) Pertinent records, exhibits and written statements 

may be accepted as evidence for consideration by a 

judicial body at the discretion of the judicial advisor. 

(vii) All procedural questions are subject to the final 

decision of the judicial advisor of the judicial body. 

(viii) After the hearing, the judicial body shall determine 

(by majority vote if the judicial body consists of more 

than one person) whether the student has violated each section 

of the student code which the student is charged with violating. 

(ix) The judicial body’s determination shall be made 

on the basis of whether it is more likely than not that the 

accused student violated the student code. 

e. There shall be a single verbatim record, such as a tape 

recording of all hearings before a judicial body. The record 

shall be the property of the college. 

f. Except in the case of a student charged with failing to obey 

the summons of a judicial body or college official, no student 

may be found to have violated the student code solely because 

the student failed to appear before a judicial body. In all cases, 

the evidence in support of the charges shall be presented and 

considered. 

(2) SANCTIONS 

a. The following sanctions may be imposed upon any student 

found to have violated the student code. 

(i) WARNING - a notice in writing to the student that 

the student is violating or has violated institutional regulations. 

(ii) PROBATION - a written reprimand for violation 

of specified regulations. Probation is for a designated period of 

time and includes the probability of more severe disciplinary 

sanctions if the student is found to be violating any institutional 

regulation(s) during the probationary period. 

(iii) LOSS OF PRIVILEGES - denial of specified privileges 

for a designated period of time. 

(iv) FINES - previously established and published 

fines may be imposed. 

(v) RESTITUTION - compensation for loss, damage 

or injury. This may take the form of appropriate service and/or 

monetary or material replacement. 

(vi) DISCRETIONARY SANCTIONS - work assignments, 

service to the college or other related discretionary 

assignments (such assignments must have the prior approval of 

the judicial advisor). 

(vii) COLLEGE SUSPENSION - separation of the student 

from the college for a definite period of time, after which 

the student is eligible to return. Conditions for re-admission 

may be specified. 

(viii) COLLEGE EXPULSION - permanent separation 

of the student from the college. 

b. More than one of the sanctions listed above may be 

imposed for any single violation. 

c. Other than college expulsion, disciplinary sanctions shall 

not be made part of the student’s permanent academic record, 

but shall become part of the student’s confidential record. 

Upon graduation, the student’s confidential record may be 

expunged of disciplinary actions other than, college suspension 

or college expulsion, upon application to the judicial 

advisor. Cases involving the imposition of sanctions other than 

college suspension or college expulsion shall be expunged 

from the student’s confidential record three years after final disposition 

of the case. 

d. The following sanctions may be imposed upon groups or 

organizations: 

a. those sanctions listed above in paragraphs 

(c)(2)(a)(i) to (c)(2)(a)(viii). 

b. deactivation-loss of all privileges, including college 

recognition, for a specified period of time. 

e. In each case in which a judicial body determines that a 

student has violated the student code, the sanction(s) shall be 

determined and imposed by the judicial advisor. In cases in 

which persons other than or in addition to the judicial advisor 

have been authorized to serve as the judicial body, the recommendation 

of all members of the judicial body shall be considered 

by the judicial advisor in determining and imposing 

sanctions. The judicial advisor is not limited to sanctions recommended 

by members of the judicial body. Following the 

hearing, the judicial body and the judicial advisor shall advise 

the accused in writing of its determination and of the sanction(s) 

imposed, if any. 

(3) INTERIM SUSPENSION 

In certain circumstances, the chief student services officer or 

designee, may impose a college suspension prior to the hear- 

42

ing before a judicial body: 

(i) Interim suspension may be imposed only: a) to 

ensure the safety and well being of members of the college 

property; b) to ensure the student’s own physical or emotional 

safety and well being; or c) if the student poses a definite threat 

of disruption of or interference with the normal operations of 

the college. 

(ii) A standing appellate board will be formed at the 

direction of the chief student services officer who will ensure 

that it is fairly composed of representatives of the student body, 

staff, faculty and administration of Cincinnati State Technical 

and Community College. 

(iii) During the interim suspension, students shall be 

denied access to the campus (including classes) and/or all 

other college activities or privileges for which the student 

might otherwise be eligible, as the chief student services officer 

or the judicial advisor may determine to be appropriate . 

(4) APPEALS 

a. A decision reached by the judicial body or a sanction 

imposed by the judicial advisor may be appealed by accused 

students or complainants to an appellate board within five 

school days of the decision. Such appeals shall be in writing 

and shall be delivered to the chief student services officer, judicial 

advisor or his/her designee. The appellate board shall be 

composed of seven members, four chosen by the chief student 

services officer, and three chosen by the accused student or 

complainant. All shall be members of the college community. 

b. Except as required to explain the basis of new evidence, 

an appeal shall be limited to review of the verbatim records of 

the initial hearing and supporting documents for one or more 

of the following purposes: 

(i) To determine whether the original hearing was 

conducted fairly in light of the charges and evidences presented, 

and in conformity with prescribed procedures, giving the 

complaining party a reasonable opportunity to prepare and 

present evidence that the student code was violated, and giving 

the accused student a reasonable opportunity to prepare 

and to present a rebuttal of those allegations. 

(ii) To determine whether the decision reached 

regarding the accused student was based on substantial evidence, 

that is, whether the facts in the case were sufficient to 

establish that a violation of the student code occurred. 

(iii) To determine whether the sanction(s) imposed 

were appropriate for the violation of the student code which 

the student was found to have committed. 

(iv) To consider new evidence, sufficient to alter a 

decision, or other relevant facts not brought out in the original 

hearing, because such evidence and/or facts were not known 

to the person appealing at the time of the original hearing. 

c. If an appeal is upheld by the appellate board, the matter 

shall be remanded to the original judicial body and judicial 

advisor for re-opening of the hearing to allow reconsideration 

of the original determination and/or sanction(s). 

d. In cases involving appeals by students accused of violating 

the student code, review of the sanction by the appellate 

board may not result in more severe sanction(s) for the accused 

student. Instead, following an appeal, the chief student services 

officer may, upon review of the case, reduce, but not 

increase, the sanctions, imposed by the judicial advisor. 

e. In cases involving appeals by persons other than students 

accused of violating the student code, the chief student services 

officer may, upon review of the case, reduce or increase the 

sanctions imposed by the judicial advisor or remand the case 

43 

to the original judicial body and judicial advisor. 

E. ARTICLE V: INTERPRETATION AND REVIEW 

(1) Any question of interpretation regarding the student code 

shall be referred to the chief student services officer for final 

determination. 

(2) The student code will be reviewed every three years 

under the direction of the chief student services officer and/or 

judicial advisor.

Appendix I 

Policy for Responsible Use of 

Information Technology and Resources 

at Cincinnati State Technical and 


Introduction 

In support of its mission of teaching and community service, 

Cincinnati State Technical and Community College provides 

access to information technology and resources for students, 

faculty and staff. This includes but is not limited to computers, 

computer terminals, peripheral computer hardware, software, 

networks, and the information that can be accessed using these 

tools. This policy contains the College’s philosophy and rules 

regulating the use of this technology and these resources. In 

addition, local, state, and federal laws relating to copyrights, 

security, and the electronic media govern the use of information 

technology and resources. It is the responsibility of students, 

faculty and staff to implement and comply with this policy 

and all other applicable regulations. This policy applies 

equally to College-owned or College-leased resources and 

technology. 

Policy 

All members of the College community who use the College’s 

information technology and communication resources must 

act responsibly. Users are responsible for the resources under 

their control. All users of College-owned or College-leased 

information technology must respect the rights of other users, 

respect the integrity of the physical facilities, and comply with 

all applicable laws, licenses, and contracts. It is the policy of 

Cincinnati State Technical and Community College that all 

members of its community act in accordance with this policy 

and maintain the highest standard of ethics when dealing with 

information technology and resources. 

Access to the College’s information technology and resources 

is a privilege granted to College students, faculty, and staff. The 

College reserves the right to extend, limit, restrict, or deny this 

privilege. The College may also permit individuals other than 

College faculty access, so long as such access does not violate 

any license or contractual agreement, College policy, or federal, 

state, county, or local law. 

College information technology and resources are to be used 

only for the activities or purposes for which they are assigned. 

They are not to be used for commercial purposes without written 

authorization from the College. In such cases, the College 

may require payment of appropriate fees. Users and system 

administrators must guard against abuses that disrupt or threaten 

the stability of information systems, including not only those 

at the College but also those on networks to which the

College’s systems are connected. Use of the College’s information 

technology and resources may be monitored by appropriate 

administrative personnel of the College. 

Information technology provides important means of communication, 

both public and private. Users and system administrators 

must respect the privacy of person-to-person communication 

in all forms, including voice (telephone), text (electronic 

mail and file transfer), and image (graphics and television). 

The principle of freedom of speech will apply to public 

communications in all these forms. 

Standards of Conduct 

The College demands a high standard of conduct for all students, 

faculty and staff in the use of, and access to the College’s 

information technology and resources. Anyone whose conduct 

misuses the College’s information technology and resources is 

subject to College disciplinary action. This conduct includes, 

but is not limited to the following: 

1. copying College-owned or licensed software or data personal 

or external use without prior written approval; 

2. attempting to modify College-owned or licensed software 

or data without prior approval; 

3. attempting to modify or destroy data belonging to someone 

else; 

4. attempting to damage or disrupt the operation of computing 

equipment, communications equipment, or communications 

lines;

other than those intended by the College, including but 

not limited to using them for personal financial gain, transmitting 

or downloading pornographic information, or allowing 

access to them by unauthorized persons, even if they are members 

of the College community; 

6. using any portion of College computing, network facilities 

and information resources to: 

a. copy privately-owned or licensed software or data without 

prior written approval; 

b. modify privately owned or licensed software or data 

without prior written approval; 

c. attempting to damage or to disrupt the operation of computing 

equipment, communications equipment, or communications 

lines, 

7. invading the privacy of an individual by using electronic 

means to ascertain confidential information. even if an individual 

or department inadvertently allows access to information; 

8. copying another user’s software or data without the permission 

of the owner. even if it is readily accessible by electronic 

means; 

9. knowingly accepting or using software or data which has 

been obtained by illegal means; 

10. abusing or harassing another user through electronic 

means; 

11. using the College’s technology and information resources 

in the commission of a crime; 

12. gaining access to non-public computing, network facilities 

and information resources without prior permission; 

13. allowing another individual to use one’s identity; 

14. using another individual’s identity, even if the individual 

has neglected or has chosen not to safeguard it. 

Enforcement 

Alleged violations of this policy shall be dealt with in accordance 

with the procedures in the Cincinnati State Technical 

and Community College personnel policies described in the 

Employee Handbook, Administrator’s Manual, College collective 

bargaining agreements, and the Student Code of Conduct. 

The College treats violations of this policy seriously and will 

pursue criminal and civil prosecution where appropriate. 

Effective March 1, 1996. 

Information Technology 

Services (ITS) Policy on 

Responsible Use of 

Computing Resources 

General Statement About Responsible Use of 


Cincinnati State Technical and Community College acquires, 

develops, and maintains computers, computer systems, and 

networks. These computing resources are intended for collegerelated 

use, including direct and indirect support of the 

College’s instruction, research, and service missions; of 

College administrative functions; of student and campus life 

activities; and of the free exchange of ideas. 

The rights of free expression and academic freedom apply to 

the use of College computing resources. So, too, however, do 

the responsibilities and limits associated with those rights. All 

who use the College’s computing resources must act responsibly, 

in accordance with the highest standard of ethical and 

legal behavior. Thus, legitimate use of computing resources 

does not extend to whatever is technically possible. Users must 

abide by all applicable restrictions, whether or not they are 

built into the operating system or network and whether or not 

they can be circumvented by technical means. 

This policy applies to all users of College computing 

resources, whether affiliated with the College or not, and to all 

users of those resources, whether on campus or from remote 

locations. Additional policies may apply to specific computers, 

computer systems or networks provided or operated by specific 

units of the College or to uses within specific units. 

Policy Regarding Responsible Use of 


All College computing resource users must: 

1. Comply with all federal, Ohio and other applicable law; 

all generally applicable College rules and policies; and all 

applicable contracts and licenses. Examples of such laws, 

rules, polices, contracts, and licenses include: the laws of libel, 

privacy, copyright, trademark, obscenity, and child pornography; 

the Electronic Communications Privacy Act and the 

Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, which prohibit "hacking", 

"cracking", and similar activities; the College’s code of student 

conduct; the Cincinnati State Technical and Community 

College Administrators’ Manual, Faculty Handbook, the 

College’s sexual harassment policy; and all applicable software 

licenses. In particular, users must: 

A. Respect the right of others to be free from harassment or 

intimidation to the same extent that this right is recognized in 

the use of other communication; and 

44

B. Respect copyrights, intellectual-property rights, ownership 

of files and passwords. Unauthorized copying of files or passwords 

belonging to others or to the College may constitute plagiarism 

or theft. Accessing or modifying files without authorization 

(including altering information, introducing viruses or 

Trojan horses, or damaging files) is unethical, may be illegal, 

and may lead to sanctions. 

Users who engage in electronic communications with persons 

in other states or countries or on other systems or networks 

should be aware that they may also be subject to the 

laws of those other states and countries and the rules and policies 

of those other systems and networks. Users are responsible 

for ascertaining, understanding, and complying with the 

laws, rules, policies, contracts, and licenses applicable to their 

particular uses. 

Cincinnati State extends these policies and guidelines to systems 

outside the College that are accessed via the College’s 

facilities (e.g., electronic mail or remote logins using the 

College's Internet connections). 

2. Use only those computing resources that they are authorized 

to use and use them only in the manner and to the extent 

authorized. Ability to access computing resources does not, by 

itself, imply authorization to do so. Users are responsible for 

ascertaining what authorizations are necessary and for obtaining 

them before proceeding. Accounts, passwords, and other 

authentication mechanisms, may not, under any circumstances, 

be shared with, or used by, persons other than those to 

whom they have been assigned by the College. 

3. Respect the finite capacity of those resources and limit use 

so as not to consume an unreasonable amount of those 

resources or to interfere unreasonably with the activity of other 

users. Although there is no set bandwidth, disk space, CPU time, 

or other limit applicable to all uses of College computing 

resources, the College may require users of those resources to 

limit or refrain from specific uses in accordance with this principle. 

The reasonableness of any particular use will be judged in 

the context of all of the relevant circumstances. 

4. Limit the personal use of College computing resources and 

refrain from using those resources for personal commercial 

purposes or for personal financial or other gain. Personal use of 

College computing resources is permitted on a limited basis 

when it does not interfere with the performance of the user's job 

or other College responsibilities, and is otherwise in compliance 

with this and other College policy. This usage does not include 

links to personal web pages. This usage is subject to monitoring 

by the ITS staff. Further limits may be imposed upon personal use 

in accordance with normal supervisory procedures. 

5. Refrain from stating or implying that they speak on behalf 

of the College and from using college trademarks and logos 

without authorization to do so. Affiliation with the College 

does not, by itself, imply authorization to speak on behalf of the 

College. Authorization to use College trademarks and logos 

may be granted only by Cincinnati State. The use of appropriate 

disclaimers is encouraged. Personal web pages linked to the 

College Web should disclaim association with Cincinnati State. 

Enforcement of the Policy 

Regarding Responsible Use 

Whenever it becomes necessary to enforce College rules or 

policies, an authorized administrator may: disallow network 

connections by certain computers (even departmental and personal 

ones); require adequate identification of computers and 

users on the network; undertake audits of software or information 

on shared systems where policy violations are possible; 

take steps to secure compromised computers that are connected 

to the network; or deny access to computers, the network, 

and institutional software and databases. 

Sanctions Regarding Misuse 

of Computing Resources 

Users who violate this policy may be denied access to 

College computing resources and may be subject to other 

penalties and disciplinary action, both within and outside of 

the College. Violations will normally be handled through the 

College disciplinary procedures applicable to the relevant user. 

Alleged violations by students will normally be investigated, 

and the Student Development Services Office will normally 

impose any penalties or other discipline. 

However, the College, through its information managers, may 

suspend or block access to an account prior to the initiation or 

completion of such procedures; when it reasonably appears 

necessary to do so, and in order to protect the integrity, security, 

or functionality of College or other computing resources; or 

to protect the College from liability. 

The College may also refer suspected violations of applicable 

law to appropriate law enforcement agencies. 

Privacy and Security Issues Regarding 

Responsible Use of Computing Resources 

The College employs various measures to protect the security 

of its computing resources and users accounts. However, 

users should be aware that the College does not and cannot 

guarantee such security. 

Users should also be aware that their uses of College computing 

resources are not private. While the College does not 

routinely monitor individual usage of its computing resources, 

the normal operation and maintenance of College computing 

resources requires the backup and caching of data and communications, 

the logging of activity, the monitoring of general 

usage patterns, and other such activities that are necessary for 

the rendition of service. Systems or technical managers, as part 

of their technical responsibility, may occasionally need to diagnose 

or solve problems by examining the contents of particular 

files. 

The College may also monitor the activity and accounts of 

individual users of College computing resources, including 

individual sessions and communications, without notice (a) 

when the user has voluntarily made them accessible to the 

public, as by posting to Usenet or a web site; (b) when it reasonably 

appears necessary to do so to protect the integrity, 

security, or functionality of College or other computing 

resources or to protect the College from liability; (c) when there 

is reasonable cause to believe that the user has violated, or is 

violating, this policy; (d) when an account or device appears to 

be engaged in unusual or unusually excessive activity, as indicated 

by the monitoring of general activity and usage patterns; 

or (e) when it is otherwise required or permitted by law. 

Any such individual monitoring, other than that specified in 

"(a)", or required by law, or necessary to respond to perceived 

emergency situations, must be authorized in advance by the 

Chief Information Officer (CIO) or a designee of same. 

The College, in its discretion, may disclose the results of any 

such general or individual monitoring, including the contents 

45

and records of individual communications, to appropriate 

College personnel or law enforcement agencies and may use 

those results in appropriate College disciplinary proceedings. 

Communications made by means of College computing 

resources are also generally subject to Ohio's Public Records 

Statute to the same extent as they would be if made on paper. 

The User's Responsibilities 

1. Be aware of the limits of computer security. Although the 

College employs various measures to protect the security of its 

computing resources and user accounts, users should be aware 

that the College cannot guarantee such security. Users should 

therefore engage in "safe computing" practices by establishing 

appropriate access restrictions for their accounts, guarding 

their passwords, and changing them regularly. 

2. Be responsible for backing up and protecting personal 

files. Although the College under certain circumstances may 

provide storage space and under certain circumstances that 

storage may be backed up, Cincinnati State assumes no 

responsibility for the loss or recovery of personal files. 

The College's Responsibilities 

The College owns various computers and all of the internal 

computer and wireless networks used on campus. The College 

also has various rights to the software and information residing 

on, developed on, or licensed for, these computers and networks. 

The College has the responsibility to administer, protect, 

and monitor this aggregation of computers, software, and 

networks. Specifically, purposes of the College's information 

technology management are to: 

1. Manage computing resources so that members of the 

College community benefit equitably from their use. 

2. Protect College computers, networks and information from 

destruction, tampering, and unauthorized inspection and use. 

3. Communicate College policies and the responsibilities of 

individuals systematically and regularly in a variety of formats 

to all parts of the College community. 

4. Establish and support reasonable standards of security for 

electronic information that community members produce, use, 

or distribute. Standards for security and access are elaborated 

in the document titled "Cincinnati State Technical and 

Community College Computing Security Policy," as well as in 

documents derived from it. 

5. Establish and support reasonable standards of security for 

electronic information that community members produce, use, 

or distribute. Standards for security and access are elaborated 

in the document titled "Cincinnati State Technical and 

Community College Computing Security Policy," as well as in 

documents derived from it. 

6. Monitor policies and propose changes in policy as events 

or technology warrant. 

Sexual Harassment Policy 

Cincinnati State Technical and Community College affirms its 

commitment to ensuring an environment for all employees and 

students which is fair, humane and respectful—an environment 

which supports and rewards employee and student performance 

on the basis of relevant considerations such as ability and 

effort. Behaviors which inappropriately assert sexuality as relevant 

to employee or student performance are damaging to this 

environment. 

Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1969 and Title IX of the 

Educational Amendments of 1972 as interpreted by Federal 

Regulation prohibit sexual harassment. 

Definition 

Sexual favors may not be required explicitly or implicitly as a 

term or condition of an individual’s employment or student status. 

The submission to or rejection of sexual favors may not be 

used as a basis for employment or educational decisions. 

Sexual conduct which has the purpose or effect of unnecessarily 

interfering with an individual’s work or student performance 

or creating an intimidating, hostile or offensive working or educational 

environment is prohibited. 

Such conduct may include: 

- verbal harassment or abuse 

- subtle pressure for sexual activity 

- sexist remarks about a woman’s or man’s clothing, body, or 

sexual activities 

- unnecessary touching, patting, or pinching 

- leering or ogling of a woman’s or man’s body 

- constant brushing against a woman’s or man’s body 

- demanding sexual favors accompanied by implied or overt 

threats concerning one’s job, grades, letters of recommendation, 

etc. 

- physical assault 

Substance Abuse Policy 

Cincinnati State Technical and Community College prohibits 

the unlawful manufacture, possession, use or distribution of 

drugs on its property or as a part of its activities. Cincinnati 

State also prohibits the use or possession of alcoholic beverages 

on campus property except as authorized by campus policy. 

Students and staff may be accountable to both civil 

authorities and to the College administration for drug and alcohol 

related actions which are a violation of federal, state or 

local laws, or the College policy as stated below. In 1989, the 

College Board of Trustees approved a Drug Free Workplace 

policy found below. 

Policy For Drug-Free Workplace: 89.49 

The unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensing, possession 

or use of a controlled substance is prohibited in the 

Cincinnati State workplace. Employees who violate this prohibition 

will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including 

immediate discharge. 

All employees are obligated to the terms of this policy and 

must notify their immediate supervisor of conviction for any 

criminal drug statute violation occurring in the workplace no 

later than five days after such conviction. 

Each employee of the College will receive a written copy of 

this POLICY STATEMENT regarding a Drug-Free Workplace 

and will be notified that, as a condition of employment, he or 

she must abide by this POLICY STATEMENT and notify the 

employer of any criminal drug statute conviction for a violation 

occurring in the workplace not later than five days after such 

conviction. 

Upon receiving notice that an employee who is engaged in 

the performance of a federal contract has had any criminal 

drug statute conviction for a violation occurring in the workplace, 

Cincinnati State will notify the federal contracting 

agency within ten days. The College will impose a sanction 

on, or require participation in a drug abuse assistance/rehabil- 

46

itation program by the convicted employee. 

Substance abuse is a serious problem in our society. In 

response to this problem, Cincinnati State offers the following 

educational activities and personal assistance to all members 

of the campus community. 

- An annual distribution of this statement to all students and 

employees of the College. 

- Health/Wellness Information is available in the hall outside 

the Admission Office. 

- The Department of Athletics and Student Activities has an 

alcohol/drug education assistance program for athletes. 

- Two College-wide workshops on issues dealing with substance 

abuse are held during each academic year. 

- Information and literature on substance abuse is available 

in the Counseling Center, room 168. 

- Students, as well as faculty and staff members who may 

have alcohol or other substance abuse problems, may 

receive confidential counseling and referral to appropriate 

community agencies from the counselors in the Counseling 

Center, room 168, or employees may contact the Office of 

Human Resources for assistance. 

Early recognition, intervention and treatment for substance 

abuse is necessary to avoid detrimental effects to physical and 

mental health. Health risks associated with substance abuse 

include, but are not limited to: 

- Physical dependence 

- Psychological dependence 

- Alterations in the body’s immune system 

- Digestive problems 

- Liver complications 

- Neuropsychological complications 

- Nutritional deficiencies 

- Certain cancers 

- Cardiovascular complications 

- Respiratory complications 

- An increased risk of contracting AIDS 

- Deterioration in learning ability, memory and judgment 

- Placental transfer resulting in low birth weight, mental 

retardation, congenital malformation and neonatal addiction 

- Moral deterioration 

- Deterioration of personal relationships 

Death may result from continued substance abuse. 

Alcohol and the Law 

You have a responsibility to follow the laws of your city, state 

and nation. If you fail to live up to that responsibility, you may 

face certain penalties. Some of the potential legal consequences 

of committing an alcohol related criminal offense are 

listed in this statement. 

Underage Consumption, Purchasing or Possession of Alcohol 

The legal drinking age in Ohio for consumption of an alcoholic 

beverage is 21 years old. Anyone purchasing, possessing 

or consuming alcohol prior to their 21st birthday is guilty of a 

first degree misdemeanor. The maximum penalties associated 

with this offense are 6 months imprisonment or a $1,000 fine 

or both. A 20-year-old student, therefore, risks being imprisoned 

and fined when he or she decides to drink alcohol. 

Providing Alcohol to an Underage Person 

A person who furnishes alcohol to an underage person is 

guilty of a first degree misdemeanor. The maximum penalties 

associated with this offense are 6 months imprisonment or 

$1,000 fine or both. A social host, therefore, risks being fined 

47 

and imprisoned when he or she furnishes alcohol to a person 

he or she knows or should know is not 21 years of age. 

Fake ID 

Possession or display of a fictitious operators license is a first 

degree misdemeanor. The offense includes mere possession of 

a fictitious license or display of someone else’s valid operators 

license. The maximum penalties for this offense are 6 months 

imprisonment or a $1000 fine or both. Moreover, if the fictitious 

operators license is utilized to purchase alcohol or enter 

an establishment that serves alcohol, the minimum fine must 

be at least $250 and the person displaying the fictitious operators 

license may have his or her valid operators license suspended 

for 3 years. 

Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol or Drugs (DUI) 

In Ohio, a person may not operate a motor vehicle if he or 

she is impaired by alcohol and/or drugs. The maximum penalties 

for operating a vehicle while under the influence are 6 

months imprisonment (mandatory 3 days in jail) or a $1,000 

fine or both. In addition, the operator must forfeit his or her 

driving privileges for 3 months. 

Open Container 

It is illegal to possess in public an open container of an alcoholic 

beverage. If convicted of this offense, the maximum 

penalty is a $100 fine. Consumption of alcohol in a motor 

vehicle is a fourth degree misdemeanor with maximum penalties 

of 30 days imprisonment or a $250 fine or both. 

Disorderly Conduct 

Disorderly conduct while intoxicated is a minor misdemeanor 

and carries a maximum penalty of a $100 fine. 

Disorderly conduct occurs when one recklessly causes inconvenience, 

annoyance or alarm to another due to offensive conduct. 

Federal and State Penalties 

for Sale and Possession 

The Federal Government decides if and how a drug should 

be controlled. Psychoactive (mind-altering) chemicals are categorized 

according to Schedule I-V. This schedule designates 

if the drug can be prescribed by a physician and under what 

conditions. Factors considered in this categorization include a 

drug’s known and potential medical value, its potential for 

physical or psychological dependence, and risk, if any, to public 

health. Penalties for the illegal sale or distribution of a drug 

are established using the designation of Schedule I-V. If you 

have knowledge of a felony you must report it to a law enforcement 

official. 

Schedule I drugs have a high potential for abuse with no 

medical use. Production of these drugs is controlled. 

Examples include heroin, methaqualone, all hallucinogens 

(except phencyclidine-PCP), marijuana and hashish. 

Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), depending on its form, can also 

be a schedule II drug. 

Schedule II drugs have a high potential for abuse, but have 

some medical uses. Production of these drugs is controlled. 

Examples include opium, morphine, codeine, some other narcotics, 

barbiturates, cocaine, amphetamines, and phencyclidine 

(PCP). 

Federal and State of Ohio penalties for selling Schedule I and 

II drugs vary with the quantity of the drug. Additionally, if 

death or serious injury is associated with the sale and/or if it is 

a second offense, penalties are more severe. When establishing 

penalties for sale, marijuana and hashish are separated

from this designation according to the schedule. The penalties, 

however, are similar to those set for Schedule I and II drugs. 

The Federal penalty for first offense sale of small amounts of 

Schedule I and II drugs is “not less that 4 years/not more than 

40 years; if death or serious injury, not less than 20 years/not 

more than life; fine of not more than $2 million individual/$5 

million other than individual.” 

In the State of Ohio the penalty for “delivery, possession with 

intent to deliver, and manufacture” of less than 25 grams is 

“mandatory 1 to 20 years; up to $25,000 or life probation.” 

The penalty for possession of less than 25 grams is “up to 4 

years, or fined up to $25,000 or both.” Both are a felony. Use 

is a misdemeanor which has a penalty of “up to 2 years, 

$2,000 fine or both.” 

Schedule III, IV and V drugs include those that most citizens 

would categorize as “prescription drugs.” Schedule III drugs 

have some potential for abuse, but less than I and II. The 

potential for abuse of Schedule IV drugs is less than Schedule 

III, and Schedule V is less than IV. All Schedule III-V drugs 

have medical uses and production is not controlled. Examples 

of these drugs include some narcotics, chloral hydrate (IV), barbiturates 

(III & IV), amphetamines (III), and other stimulants (III 

& IV). 

The Federal penalty for first offense sale of a Schedule III drug 

is “Not more than 5 years; fine of not more than $250,000 individual/$1 

million not individual.” The Federal penalty for first 

offense sale of schedule IV drugs is “not more than 3 years.” 

The fine is the same as for Schedule III drugs. The Federal 

penalty for first offense sale of Schedule V drugs is “not more 

than 1 year; fine of not more than $100,000 individual/$250,000 

not individual.” 

Sale of some Schedule III drugs is a felony and has a State of 

Ohio penalty of “up to 7 years; or a fine up to $5,000; or both.“ 

State of Ohio penalty for sale of Schedule IV drugs is a felony 

and has a penalty of “up to 4 years; or a fine up to $2,000; or 

both.” Sale of Schedule V drugs in the State of Ohio is also a 

felony and has a state penalty of “up to 2 years; or a fine up to 

$2,000; or both.” 

For further information on substance abuse and early intervention 

and treatment, contact the Counseling Center, room 

161, (513) 569-1544, or the Office of Human Resource 

Services in room 177, (513) 569-1565.

A. Any member of the College community may file charges 

against any student for misconduct. Charges shall be prepared 

in writing and directed to the judicial advisor responsible for 

the administration of the College judicial system. Any charge 

should be submitted as soon as possible after the event takes 

place, preferably within forty-eight hours. 

B. The judicial advisor may conduct an investigation to 

determine if the charges have merit and/or if they can be disposed 

of administratively by mutual consent of the parties 

involved on a basis acceptable to the judicial advisor. Such 

disposition shall be final and there shall be no subsequent proceedings. 

If the charges cannot be disposed of by mutual consent, 

the judicial advisor may later serve in the same matter as 

the judicial body or a member thereof. 

C. All charges shall be presented to the accused student in 

written form. A time shall be set for a hearing, not less than five 

nor more than fifteen calendar days after the student has been 

notified. Maximum time limit for scheduling of hearings may 

be extended at the discretion of the judicial advisor. 

D. Hearings shall be conducted by a judicial body according 

to the following guidelines: 

(i) Hearings normally shall be conducted in private. At the 

request of the accused student, and subject to the discretion of 

the judicial advisor, a representative of the student press may 

be admitted, but shall not have the privilege of participating in 

the hearing. 

(ii) Admission of any person to the hearing shall be at the 

discretion of the judicial body and/or its judicial advisor. 

(iii) In hearings involving more than one accused student, 

the judicial advisor of the judicial body, in his/her discretion, 

may permit the hearings concerning each student to be conducted 

separately. 

(iv) The complainant and the accused have the right to be 

assisted by any advisor they choose, at their own expense. The 

advisor may be an attorney. The complainant and/or the 

accused is responsible for presenting his or her case and, therefore, 

advisors are not permitted to speak or to participate 

directly in any hearing before a judicial body. 

(v) The complainant, the accused and the judicial body 

shall have the privilege of presenting witnesses, subject to the 

right of cross examination by the judicial body.

be accepted as evidence for consideration by a judicial body 

at the discretion of the judicial body. 

(vii) All procedural questions are subject to the final decision 

of the judicial advisor of the judicial body.

majority vote if the judicial body consists of more than one person) 

whether the student has violated each section of the student 

code which the student is charged with violating. 

(ix) The judicial body's determination shall be made on the 

basis of whether it is more likely than not that the accused student 

violated the student code. 

E. There shall be a single verbatim record, such as a tape 

recording of all hearings before a judicial body. The record 

shall be the property of the College. 

F. Except in the case of a student charged with failing to obey 

the summons of a judicial body or College official, no student 

may be found to have violated the student code solely because 

the student failed to appear before a judicial body. In all cases, 

the evidence in support of the charges shall be presented and 

considered. 

Student Complaint Procedures 


established procedures to address the violation of the rights of 

students. A complete copy of the procedures can be obtained 

from the Dean of Enrollment and Student Services. (Matters 

related to an appeal of academic decisions must first be handled 

through the Academic Appeals Procedure which is 

referred to elsewhere in this section of the Catalog.) 

If a student feels that his or her rights have been, or are being, 

violated by another student or Cincinnati State staff, the following 

procedure is available: 

48

Step 1 — The student should discuss the problem with his or 

her instructor or faculty advisor. 

Step 2 — If the problem is not resolved at Step 1, a student 

complaint/referral form should be submitted to the Dean of 

Enrollment and Student Services, room 168. A copy of the 

form shall be forwarded to the Dean or manager of the person 

against whom the complaint is made for resolution. 

Step 3 — If the complaint is not resolved at Step 2, the complainant 

may request a fact-finding hearing under the provisions 

of 3357:4-52 through the office of the Dean of 

Enrollment and Student Services. 

Release of Information 

Cincinnati State Technical and Community College, in accordance 

with the Family Educational Right to Privacy Act of 1974 

has designated the following information regarding its students 

as directory (public) information: 

1. Name 

2. Program 

3. Participation in officially recognized activities and sports 

4. Weight and height of members of intercollegiate 

athletic teams 

5. Dates of Attendance 

6. Degrees and awards received

This information may be released without the written consent 

of the student. All other information is confidential and will be 

released only with written consent from the student for legitimate 

College purposes or as otherwise required by law. 

Students have the right to withhold directory information from 

the public if they desire. Each student who wants all directory 

information withheld is required to inform the Office of the 

Registrar in writing. At least 5 days should be allowed for processing 

such a request through the student information system. 

Upon receipt of a written request to withhold directory information, 

the Office of the Registrar will place a Hold on the student’s 

record alerting staff in the Office of the Registrar the student 

has requested that no information be provided. No information 

will be released, regardless of any authorizations the 

student has completed either before or after notification has 

been submitted to the Office of the Registrar. 

Cincinnati State receives many inquiries for “directory information” 

from various sources, including prospective employers, 

insurance companies, loan agencies, other institutions of 

higher education, government agencies and news media. All 

students are advised to carefully consider the consequences of 

a decision to withhold directory information. If a student 

requests to have directory information withheld, the student 

will be required to provide written consent to the Office of the 

Registrar for any and all information to be released. Students 

requesting that all directory information be withheld will not 

be able to register through the touch-tone registration service. 

Photographs and/or films of students for promotional and 

recruitment purposes are taken throughout the school year. 

Students who do not wish to be included in these visuals must 

inform the Director of Public Information prior to photographing 

and/or filming. 

49 

Solomon Amendment 

In compliance with the Solomon Amendment which became 

effective on April 1, 1997, Cincinnati State Technical and 

Community College must supply the following information (if 

captured) to representatives of any branch of Federal Armed 

Forces for the purpose of federal recruiting: 

student name

Solomon Amendment and upon written request of an official 

representative of the Federal Armed Forces. Please review the 

above section for information pertaining to the release of directory 

information. 

Notification of Rights under 

the Family Educational Rights 

and Privacy Act 

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) 

affords students certain rights with respect to their educational 

records. They are: 

1. The right to inspect and review the student’s education 

records within 45 days of the day that Cincinnati State 

Technical and Community College receives a request for 

access. 

Students should submit to the registrar, dean, program 

chair or other appropriate official, a written request that 

identifies the record(s) they wish to inspect. The College 

official will make arrangements for access and notify the 

student of the time and place where the records may be 

inspected. If the records are not maintained by the 

College official to whom the request was submitted, that 

official shall advise the student of the correct official to 

whom the request should be addressed. 

2. The right to request the amendment of the student’s 

education records that the student believes are inaccurate 

or misleading. 

Students may ask the College to amend a record that 

they believe is inaccurate or misleading. They should 

write the College 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 College decides not to amend the record as 

requested by the student, the College 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 disclosure of personally identifiable 

information contained in the student’s education

ecords, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure 

without consent. 

One exception which permits disclosure without consent is 

disclosure to schools officials with legitimate educational 

interests. A school official is: 

• a person employed by the College in an administrative, 

supervisory, academic or research, or support staff position 

(including law enforcement unit personnel); 

• a person or company with whom the College has contracted 

(such as an attorney, auditor, or collection agent); 

• a person serving on the Board of Trustees; or a student 

serving on an official committee, such as disciplinary or 

grievance committee, or assisting another school official in 

performing his or her tasks. 

A College official has a legitimate educational interest if the 

official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill 

his or her professional responsibility. 

4. The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department 

of Education concerning alleged failures by Cincinnati 

State Technical and Community College to comply with 

the requirements of FERPA. The name and address of the 

office that administers FERPA are:

Student 

Services

Services for Students 

An important part of the mission of the College is the adherence 

to the principles of student rights and freedoms, as amplified 

by the "Joint Statement on Rights and Freedoms of 

Students," which was formulated by representatives of the 

American Association of University Professors, United States 

Student Association, Association of American Colleges, 

National Association of Student Personnel Administrators, 

National Association for Women Educators, as well as a number 

of other professional bodies. These principles speak to the 

standards and responsibilities of the academic community to 

ensure student access to education; free discussion in the classroom; 

maintenance of student records; the freedom to form 

organizations that promote the common interests of students, 

and the freedom of inquiry and expression; student participation 

in institutional government; as well as expectations of student 

conduct, and the exercise of rights of citizenship. 

Complete copies of the statement are available from the Dean 

of Enrollment and Student Services. 

Consequently, as a service to students and to the academic 

community, Cincinnati State Technical and Community 

College maintains a cadre of professional and support staff to 

help students in making meaningful decisions regarding admission 

to college, registering for classes, applying for financial 

aid, career and educational decision making, personal and 

social counseling as well as the participation in a variety of student 

activities and sports.

receive reasonable academic accommodations in courses of 

study. The major goal is to guarantee that all students with disabilities 

have an equal opportunity in the pursuit of their educational 

objectives. Services and programs are available for students 

according to their individual needs. Students who consistently 

use the resources and accommodation services earn 

higher grades and graduate at a higher rate than students who 

choose not to use them. For further information regarding these 

services, contact Disability Services in room 181, 569-1613. 

International Students 

This office provides admissions and immigration regulations 

assistance. The International Student Coordinator assists students

seeking internal (campus) and external referrals/resources. 

Student Support Services 

Staff members in the Student Support Services Office work 

with first-generation, low income and/or disabled students who 

demonstrate an academic need. The goal of the program is to 

assist students in completing an associate degree or transfer to 

a baccalaureate program. Tutoring, mentoring and other support 

services are provided. 

Veterans 

Cincinnati State Technical and Community College has a 

Veterans’ Affairs Coordinator to aid persons attending school 

on V.A. benefits. The Veterans’ Affairs coordinator will help 

students with official paperwork and information regarding 

benefits. All degree programs at Cincinnati State are approved 

by the State Approving Agency for Veterans Training. Upon 

being accepted by Cincinnati State, veterans should contact 

the Veterans Office for full information concerning application 

for Veterans’ Educational Benefits. 

Tutorial services can be arranged for veterans in need of academic 

assistance. The Department of Veteran's Affairs will 

reimburse the veteran for this cost. Fair and reasonable 

charges for this service will be determined by the Coordinator 

of Veterans’ Affairs prior to approval of tutorial assistance. 

Whenever possible, a student tutor will be utilized. 

However, when there is not a qualified student tutor available, 

the Veterans’ Affairs Coordinator will attempt to find a qualified 

faculty tutor. Please contact the Veterans Office for further 

information. 

The State Approving Agency for Veterans Training has 

approved Cincinnati State Technical and Community College 

53

for the education and training of veterans and all their dependents 

under all existing public laws. Inquiries concerning eligibility 

should be directed to the Coordinator of Veterans’ Affairs

Parking & Traffic 

Regulations 

The regulations set forth in this section were developed by 

the Public Safety Department, and approved by the College 

Administration in accordance with the Ohio Revised Code. 

Information on Parking Fees is provided on page 19. 

The goal is to utilize the available parking resources for the 

benefit of students, faculty, and visitors to insure that the parking 

areas are maintained and safe. 

Parking Facilities 

Students: 

The College offers student parking in Lot C (on the corner of 

Ludlow and Central Parkway), Lot G (on Central Parkway

across from the main entrance), as well as two parking garages.

permit may exit free-of-charge. 

Faculty/Staff: 

The College offers faculty and staff parking in Lot A (off of 

College Drive), Lot E (located at the end of “A” wing), and in

be provided at the front and rear of the main building. Access 

to the College’s various parking facilities will be as follows: 

Access to Lot A, Lot E, and spaces located in the front and 

rear of the school are accessible only from College Drive via 

Central Parkway. 

Obtaining A Parking Permit 

Students must complete a Vehicle Registration form (forms 

are available at the Cashier Window or in Room 7). A current 

license plate registration must be shown. Only one permit will 

be issued to each student. Deliver the completed form to 

the proper College office, as designated below, to receive the 

parking permit. 

Day Parking 

Permits are limited in number and sold on a first-come, firstserved 

basis. These permits are purchased in-person only at the 

College Cashier window. Mail-in requests will not be accepted. 

A new permit must be purchased for each academic term. 

Evening Parking (after 4:30 p.m.) 

After 4:30 p.m., all parking spaces are open except for spaces 

specifically designated "Handicapped," "Evening Faculty 

Parking Area" located in Lot D, “Day Care parking” located in 

the front of school, and any area with posted “No Parking” 

signs. These permits are sold by the Cashier’s Office. A new 

permit must be purchased for each academic term. 

Handicapped Parking 

Parking permits are available allowing use of the Handicap 

parking spaces. Both a state-issued license plate/plaque and a 

Cincinnati State parking permit are required. Contact the 

Public Safety Office (Room 7) for details. 

Parking Permit Regulations: 

1. Falsifying any information on the registration form will 

result in revocation of the permit. 

2. Issuance of a parking permit does not guarantee an available 

parking space. 

3. If a parking permit is lost, stolen or destroyed, replacement 

permits are available at a $5 charge. 

4. Permits must be displayed per instructions on the permit. 

5. Permits are not transferable. 

6. Permits cannot be shared. 

Visitor Parking 

Visitor parking is available in Lot A and in front of the school. 

These lots can be used by students registering or visiting campus. 

Parking is available in Lot C; however, a fee is charged for 

use of this lot. The fee is posted at the entrance to the lot. 

Emergencies 

If you see a crime being committed on campus or need assistance 

from Public Safety, call 861-8888, or for Police or Fire 

Department, call 911. 

Emergency phones are located near the parking areas and in 

the garage. These phones are monitored by the Public Safety 

Office 24 hours a day. 

If you accidentally lock your keys in your car or need a jump 

start, come to the Public Safety Office in room 7 and a safety 

officer will assist you. 

Violations 

Citation Procedure 

College parking regulations are enforced by the Department 

of Public Safety. Any violations can result in a citation being 

issued. Citations must be paid or appealed within 10 business 

days from the date of issue. After that time, the ability to 

appeal will be lost. 

Any citation not paid or appealed within 10 business days of 

issue will double in cost, and the vehicle is subject to 

impoundment. After 30 days from issue, any unpaid citations 

will be automatically added to the student’s account. 

Repeated or serious violations could result in loss of campus 

parking privileges, towing of vehicle and/or impoundment at 

the owner’s expense. Ignorance of College parking policy is 

not an excuse for operating or parking in violation. Citations 

are payable at the Cashier's Office or mail to: 


ATTN: Cashier's Office 


Cincinnati, OH 45223 

The purchase and display of a parking permit does not guarantee 

the availability of a parking space and does not justify 

parking against College policy. 

Parking Violations 

A list of violations is available in room 7. 

Citation Appeal Procedure 

Any ticket issued by the Public Safety Department can be 

appealed by filling out the appeal form available in the 

Campus Safety Office (Room 7). The form must be completed 

and submitted within ten business days after the ticket was 

issued. The findings of the Appeal Committee are final. 

Liability 

Cincinnati State Technical and Community College assumes 

no responsibility for theft or damage to vehicles parked on 

College property. 

The Public Safety Department is here to help you. If you 

have any questions, please stop by our office or call us at

Academic 

Divisions, 

Degree & 

Certificate 

Programs

Academic Divisions 

& Programs of Study 


six academic divisions which offer credit courses: 

Business Technologies, Engineering Technologies, Health 

Technologies, Information Technologies, Humanities, and 

Sciences. 

The College offers a variety of educational programs that 

lead to associate degrees. Full-time students can complete 

these programs in two years or less; however, many students 

take longer to complete their degree requirements. 

• Technical associate degree programs are intended to 

prepare students for employment immediately after graduation, 

although the credits earned in these programs also 

are transferable to four-year colleges and universities. 

The technical associate degrees awarded are Associate of 

Applied Business (AAB), Associate of Applied Science 

(AAS), Associate of Technical Study (ATS), and Associate of 

Individualized Study (AIS). In this catalog, the AAB and 

AAS degree programs are listed according to the academic 

division that offers the program. The ATS and AIS programs 

are listed on page 138. 

• University-parallel associate degree programs are 

intended to prepare students for immediate transfer to a 

four-year college or university, by providing the courses 

required for the first two years of a bachelor’s degree. 

Students who complete these degrees are given preferential 

consideration for admission to a public university in 

Ohio. 

The university-parallel degrees awarded are Associate of 

Arts (AA) and Associate of Science (AS). These associate 

degree programs are listed beginning on page 64. 

In addition to associate degree programs, the College 

offers several certificate programs that prepare students for 

specific occupational situations. These certificate programs 

usually can be completed in less time than is required to 

complete an associate degree. 

The College also offers courses and services to assist students 

who may need additional preparation or support in 

order to be successful in achieving their academic goals. 

College-Wide 

Graduation Requirements

Students seeking an AAB, AAS, AIS, or ATS degree 

should consult the curriculum for their program, published 

elsewhere in this Catalog, to determine how the general 

education requirements should be met. Individual degree 

programs may require students to complete program-specified 

general education courses, or may permit students to 

choose some general education elective courses. Transfer 

credit for Social Sciences or Humanities courses completed 

at another institution, in disciplines not listed above, 

may be applied toward Cincinnati State graduation 

requirements, with the program chair’s permission. 

Students seeking the Associate of Arts or Associate of 

Science degree must meet the general education requirements 


College Orientation 

Requirement 

All Cincinnati State students who are enrolled in degree 

or certificate programs are required to complete the college 

orientation course CAR 9002, College Success 

Strategies. This requirement does not apply to degree-seeking 

or certificate-seeking students who have already successfully 

completed 18 or more credits of college-level 

courses at Cincinnati State (not including Developmental 

Education courses), or have received transfer credit for 

equivalent courses. 

The course CAR 9002 introduces students to the college 

experience and to Cincinnati State’s expectations and 

resources for new students. This course earns college credit, 

but it does not fulfill general studies or core course 

requirements for degree or certificate programs. Students 

must complete the orientation course requirement within 

the first 18 credit hours taken at Cincinnati State. 

The Honors Experience 

The Cincinnati State Honors Experience supports the 

institutional goal of serving all aspects of the community 

by offering enhanced learning opportunities to academically 

talented, highly motivated students. The Honors 

Experience curriculum complements the existing degree 

programs. Students can take Honors sections of many of

the required courses. The Honors Experience strives to 

establish an intellectual community among students and 

faculty; to provide challenging coursework, academic 

enrichment activities, academic honors advising, and 

opportunities for student involvement. It is open to full 

and part time admitted degree-seeking students in all divisions 

of the College who meet the entry criteria listed 

below. Students are first admitted to a degree program 

and then to Honors. All Honors students must take HRN 

1695 Orientation to Honors as a co/pre-requisite to taking 

other Honors classes. 

Students accepted into the Honors Experience who enter 

Cincinnati State directly from an area high school are eligible 

to apply for an Honors Experience scholarship. 

For more information, contact Marcha L. Hunley, Honors 

Chair, 569-1732 or visit the Honors web page at 

http://cincinnatistate.edu/Academics-Honors.htm 

There are several entry criteria possibilities. 

A. New student - meet at least one of the following: 

• High school GPA of 3.25 or higher 

• High school rank - top 20% 

• ACT 26 (after April 1996) 

• SAT scores 1140 (after April 1996) 

• And Compass scores of at least - 

Reading 81 and Writing 70 and Math 58 

B. Current student - college GPA of 3.25 after 

18 academic credits 

C. Transfer student - college GPA of 3.25 after 

18 academic credits 

And for all students - 2 recommendations from persons 

familiar with the student’s academic potential and performance 

in a teaching/learning environment. 


Developmental courses are available for students whose 

placement test scores indicate a need for additional preparation 

in the areas of reading, writing, and math skills prior 

to entering their program of study. Typically, students take 

these courses prior to admission to a degree program. 

However, in some cases, developmental courses can be 

taken in conjunction with program-level coursework. 

Students who need developmental courses are assigned a 

pre-technical or pre-major advisor. The advisor assists students 

in selecting appropriate coursework and monitors 

the progress of each student toward meeting program 

admission requirements. 

Courses in study skills and math anxiety are also available. 

These courses provide students with important college 

success skills such as test-taking, time management, 

using the library, and taking notes. In addition, a developmental 

computer learning laboratory and tutoring services 

are provided free of charge when extra help is needed. 

Courses with a DE or ESL department code are counted 

in the total number of attempted hours on student transcripts, 

but they are not used to calculate a student’s 

Grade Point Average (GPA). Even though these grades do 

not affect the GPA, they can affect financial aid eligibility. 

Grades earned in courses with a CAR department code do 

count toward the student’s GPA. Neither DE nor CAR 

courses can be counted toward graduation. 

The following courses are offered every term: 

Credits 

DE 0003 Basic Writing 1 4 

DE 0004 Basic Writing 2 4 

DE 0005 Basic Writing 3 4 

DE 0010 College Reading 1 4 

DE 0011 College Reading 2 4 

DE 0018 Integrated College Prep Skills 8-12 

DE 0020 Basic Mathematics 1 4 

DE 0024 Basic Algebra 1 4 

DE 0025 Basic Algebra 2 4 

CAR 9014 College Study Skills 4 

CAR 9015 Math Anxiety Study Skills 1 

ESL 0060 Reading and Writing 1 4 

ESL 0061 Reading and Writing 2 4 

ESL 0063 Conversation 2 

ESL 0064 Advanced Writing 4 

Students may be advised to take other developmental 

courses not listed above that are offered on varying schedules 

to meet specific program preparation needs. Course 

descriptions for these courses are available from advisors. 

ESL Courses 

International students who successfully complete courses 

in English as a Second Language (ESL) are considered to 

have completed developmental writing and reading courses. 

Additional developmental writing and reading courses 

are not required. 

Developmental Learning Lab 

A developmental learning lab is located in Rooms 254 

and 258 of the main building. This IBM-based computer 

laboratory provides students the opportunity to use supplemental 

instructional materials to sharpen their basic skills 

while reinforcing their ability to learn independently. 

Tutoring 

Individual or group tutoring is available to Cincinnati 

State students in a variety of subject areas and is free of 

charge. Instruction is provided by qualified faculty or by 

student tutors who are recommended by faculty. All tutors 

receive training regarding methods, policies, and practices 

aimed at promoting independent learning. Students may 

request a tutor through the Tutoring Center in Room 261. 

Weekly appointments are scheduled when an appropriate 

tutor has been located. Drop-in tutoring without an 

appointment is available for students who need assistance 

in math and physics. 

Distance Education 

Because of work schedules, parenting duties, and other 

responsibilities, some students are unable to attend traditional 

classes scheduled on campus. To provide a variety 

of options for these students, Cincinnati State offers a 

number of courses in a “distance education” format. 

Course lectures and instructional materials are made 

available to students through Web-based instruction; 

broadcast via public television; CD, video, or audio 

media; and/or print-based methods. Instructors of distance 

education courses may require on-campus class meetings 

at announced times (such as course orientation, midterm 

60

exam, and final exam). All distance education course 

instructors are available to answer student questions 

throughout the term. 

Distance education courses provide the same quality and 

content as traditional classroom-based instruction. 

Students who are interested in the scheduling flexibility 

provided by these courses should contact the Office of the 

Dean of the division which offers the course(s). 

Extension Sites 

Cincinnati State provides college credit and non-credit 

courses through community learning centers located at 

Oak Hills High School, Colerain High School, Lower Price 

Hill School, the Cincinnati State West campus in Harrison, 

Ohio, and the Workforce Development Center in 

Evendale. 

Whether students earn college credit or seek personal 

enrichment, courses offered at the extension sites bring 

Cincinnati State programs to local neighborhoods. 

Courses offered at the extension sites are listed in the Term 

Schedule and are identified with a site abbreviation code 

under the Building (BLDG) column. 

Weekend College 

The Cincinnati State Weekend College allows students to 

complete selected associate degree and certificate programs 

with all classes scheduled on the weekends. The 

classes take place on Friday evenings, Saturday mornings, 

Saturday afternoons and Sunday afternoons. The advantages 

include small class sizes, low tuition and convenient 

scheduling to assist those who work full-time. Students 

complete the standard Cincinnati State application, enrollment, 

and financial aid procedures. Students enrolled in 

Weekend College programs are identified in College 

records with “WC” attached to their major code (for example, 

“ACCT.WC” identifies a Weekend College student 

enrolled in the Accounting degree program). 

In 2003-04 the following associate degree programs will 

be offered: Accounting, Business Management, Computer 

Programming, Early Childhood Care and Education, and 

Marketing Management. Some certificate programs may 

be offered also. 

Programs that are available with a combination of weekend 

and distance education course work are the degrees 

Health Information Management, Associate of Arts and 

Associate of Science, and the Coding Specialist Certificate. 

For more information concerning the Weekend College 

contact the Office of Admissions or the academic division 

for the programs and certificates.

four-year college. The courses listed below constitute 

the Transfer Module. 

Categories contained in the Transfer Module are: 


Mathematics 

Arts/Humanities 

Social/Behavioral Sciences 

Biological/Physical Sciences 

Students earning the Transfer Module select courses from 

these categories. The Transfer Module requirements are 

included in the degree requirements for students earning 

the Associate of Arts (AA) or Associate of Science (AS); 

however, students earning the AA or AS degree also are 

required to complete additional courses selected from the 

Transfer Module categories. The AA/AS requirements are

Degrees 

Program Chair - Joyce Rimlinger 

Advisor – Nancy King, Julie McLaughlin 

Co-op Coordinator - Linda Romero 

Cincinnati State offers the Associate of Arts and Associate 

of Science degrees, which are often called “university parallel 

degrees” or “transfer degrees,” because these degrees 

provide the first two years of a Bachelor’s degree program. 

The primary purpose of the Associate of Arts and Associate 

of Science degrees is to prepare students for transfer to a 

four-year college or university. Students who earn these 

degrees and have an overall grade point average of 2.0 or 

better are given preferential consideration for admission to 

Ohio public universities. 

To earn an Associate of Arts or Associate of Science 

degree at Cincinnati State students must complete at least 

102 credit hours of courses from these areas: 


Mathematics 

Biological/Physical Sciences 

Social/Behavioral Sciences 

Arts/Humanities 

Computer Literacy 

Cooperative Education/Career Exploration 

The Associate of Arts degree is for students who desire 

to pursue a Bachelor’s degree by completing the first two 

years at Cincinnati State in program areas such as: 

Architecture 

Communications 

Criminal Justice 

Education 

English 

Fine Arts 

History 

International Affairs 

Philosophy 


Pre-Law 

Psychology 

Social Work 

Sociology 

Spanish 

Theatre 

Urban Planning 

Urban Studies 

The Associate of Science degree is for students who 

desire to pursue a Bachelor’s degree by completing the first 

two years at Cincinnati State in program areas such as: 

Biology 

Chemistry 

Mathematics 

Meteorology 

Physics 

Pre-Dentistry 

Pre-Medicine 

Pre-Mortuary Science 

Pre-Optometry 

Pre-Pharmacy 

Pre-Veterinary Medicine 

Zoology 

Students who seek the Associate of Arts or Associate of 

Science degree need to be familiar with the requirements 

for the Bachelor’s degree at the institution where they 

intend to complete their studies. Students work with a 

Cincinnati State faculty advisor to develop a planned curriculum 

of required and elective courses. This plan should 

allow a full-time student to transfer to the desired four-year 

institution at junior status after two years or less. Students 

who need additional preparation or attend part-time may 

take longer than two years to complete their degree 

requirements.

COOPERATIVE EDUCATION 

7 Credits 

The Associate of Arts and Associate of Science programs 

share the College’s commitment to cooperative education 

as an integral part of the curriculum. Cooperative education 

allows students to apply the concepts learned in the 

classroom with practical, hands-on experience in real 

work environments. 

In order to complete the AA or AS degree at Cincinnati 

State, students must earn no fewer than seven credits in 

work exploration/experience, selected from the courses 

described below. 

All students seeking the AA or AS degree must successfully 

complete HUM 9801 - Career Exploration Seminar. 

Students should enroll in this course in their second or 

third term. 

All students seeking the AA or AS degree must successfully 

complete two additional work experience classes, 

selected from courses HUM 9802, HUM 9803, HUM 

9804, HUM 9805, or HUM 9806. Other classes may not 

be substituted for the work experience courses without 

prior approval of the program chair and the cooperative 

education coordinator. However, students with prior work 

experience that is related to their post-baccalaureate 

career goals may be eligible to receive credit through the 

standard College procedures for granting Advanced 

Standing Credit.

Business Technologies 

Division 

Main Phone Number: (513) 569-1620 

Cincinnati State meets the need for specialized business 

training with 20 Associate of Applied Business degree programs, 

14 certificate programs, an Associate of Arts in Pre- 

Business Administration, and two Associate of Applied 

Science degree programs. Organized job experience 

through cooperative education work assignments with 

leading business firms is a key phase of the learning program. 

Business courses, combined with job-related activities 

during ten-week co-op terms, provide students with 

both business skills and business experience. Upon completion 

of the two-year degree program in business, students 

earn an Associate’s degree. 

Credits earned in the degree programs are transferable. 

Cincinnati State has established articulation agreements 

with the College of Mount St. Joseph, Thomas More 

College, Xavier University, Northern Kentucky University, 

the University of Cincinnati, Miami University, Rochester 

Institute of Technology, the Union Institute, and 

Wilmington College. 

Entrance Competencies 

In order to ensure a high degree of success in academic 

studies in business technologies, entering students must 

meet established academic levels in mathematics, communication 

skills, and reading comprehension. To aid in 

determining these levels, entering students are required to 

take COMPASS, the college admissions/placement test. If 

testing and previous academic background indicate that a 

student has not reached the necessary preparatory level, a 

divisional advisor will assist in preparing a program of 

classes to help the student reach those levels. Preparatory 

classes are available on a year-round basis. 

Cooperative Education - Working for Success Experience 

Cooperative education allows students to apply the concepts 

learned in the classroom to the business world and 

to gain practical experience that enhances employment 

after graduation. Therefore, in the Business Technologies 

Division all students must earn 8 to 10 credit hours in 

cooperative education. 

The Business Technologies Division’s Working for 

Success Experience, a series of practice-oriented courses, 

ensures students’ success in preparing for and achieving 

their career goals. The foundation for the program is set 

with course CAR 9002 – College Success Strategies, the 

first course in the series. This course prepares students for 

their college experiences and provides a map for a successful 

transition to college life. College Success Strategies 

sets the stage for the classroom, lab, and cooperative education 

experiences students have at Cincinnati State. 

The Working for Success Experience continues with BT 

9200 – Professional Practices. This course prepares students 

for their cooperative education experience. Through 

Professional Practices, students learn fundamental skills 

required to gain employment such as goal setting, career 

research, resume writing, interviewing, and negotiating.

Additionally, students gain job success competencies ranging 

from business etiquette to business ethics. Upon completion 

of this course, students are ready for the practical 

experience provided by cooperative education. 

The primary element in the practice-oriented education 

provided by the Working for Success Experience is cooperative 

education. Cincinnati State’s cooperative education 

program reinforces the concept that learning occurs best 

with the integration of classroom studies and related work 

experience. Through mandatory co-op experiences, students 

complete several terms of meaningful employment 

that is structured, managed, and evaluated in a systematic 

way to help students realize their career goals. By completing 

learning modules, students acquire additional skill 

sets necessary to sustain employment. In exceptional situations 

students, in consultation with their program coordinators, 

may fulfill the co-op requirement through registration 

in Co-op Seminar course(s) BUS 9230, BUS 9231, 

and BUS 9232. Additional guidelines for meeting the coop 

requirement are outlined below. 

Once students complete co-op requirements, they enroll 

in the third course of the Working for Success Experience, 

BUS 9233 – Business Competencies. This capstone course 

ties the practice-oriented sequence together with the experiences 

of the preceding courses. Students gain practical 

experience as they complete educational units that build 

the competencies needed to advance in their chosen field 

of work. The Business Competencies course includes an 

element of mandatory community service. Part of the 

enrichment education provides is the realization that with 

education and career come a responsibility to the community. 

The capstone course helps students gain that perspective 

and form the foundation for good citizenship. 

The Cooperative Education Requirement 

1. Students can meet the Business Technologies Division 

cooperative education requirement in these three ways: 

• Complete the traditional cooperative education work 

experiences. 

• Fulfill the requirements by applying for advanced 

standing. 

• Complete the Co-op Seminar classes satisfactorily; 

this requires the coordinator’s prior approval. 

2. To be eligible to participate in the cooperative education 

program, students must meet the following 

requirements: 

• Matriculate as a student. 

• Maintain a G.P.A. of 2.0 or higher, and complete any 

required program technical courses. (See co-op coordinator 

for list.) 

• Attend a co-op orientation session, complete an 

application to co-op packet, and return it to the program 

co-op coordinator before consideration for 

placement. 

• Agree to follow the curriculum and meet all program 

requirements as specified. 

• Agree not to seek full-time employment with a co-op 

employer until graduation. 

• Understand that co-op students are not eligible for 

unemployment benefits for co-op positions, and as 

such, agree not to apply for them. 

• Gain prior coordinator approval if it is necessary to 

drop out of co-op employment and complete the 

remainder of the co-op requirements by taking Coop 

Seminar courses. If students leave co-op employment, 

they are eligible to re-enter only with approval 

of the co-op coordinator. 

3. Students may complete the required co-op experience 

on either an alternating or parallel track depending on 

the availability of positions. Students must meet with 

their co-op coordinator as soon as possible after admission 

to their academic program to complete their co-op 

plan. 

4. The Business Technologies Division assists students in 

completing their cooperative education work experiences. 

Although the Division’s co-op coordinators are 

generally successful in finding interview opportunities 

for co-op students, there is no employment guarantee. 

If employment is unavailable, the co-op coordinator 

works with students on alternatives to fulfill the cooperative 

education requirement. 


The Ohio Board of Regents developed the transfer module 

to facilitate transfer of credits from one Ohio public 

college or university to another. The transfer module contains 

54 to 60 quarter hours of course credits in the areas 

of English, mathematics, arts and humanities, social and 

behavioral sciences, natural and physical sciences, and 

interdisciplinary studies. A transfer module completed at 

one college or university automatically meets the requirements 

for the transfer module at another college or university 

once the student is admitted. For additional information, 

see the “State of Ohio Policy for Institutional 

Transfer” and the “Transfer Module” sections of the 

College catalog. 

Associate’s degree programs in the Business Technologies 

Division contain in their curriculums most of the required 

courses for the Cincinnati State Transfer Module. Students 

who wish to complete the transfer module should schedule 

the additional courses at their convenience. Students 

who transfer to an Ohio public university for baccalaureate 

degrees will find that the Cincinnati State Associate of 

Applied Business degree combined with a transfer module 

showing grades of “C” or higher receives preferential consideration 

at the receiving institution. 

Pre-Business Administration Transfer Degree 

Program Chair - Linda Schaffeld 

Co-op Coordinator - Kendra Vonderhaar 

The primary objective of the Pre-Business Administration 

degree program is to provide for transfer to a four-year 

institution rather than preparation for a job. The program 

provides students with basic coursework that enables them 

to transfer to baccalaureate programs in business administration, 

accounting, finance, management, or marketing. 

Students complete general education requirements and 

selected business core courses to prepare for work in their 

major at the senior institution. The Pre-Business 

Administration Transfer curriculum leads to the Associate 

of Arts degree, and meets the transfer module requirements 

for transfer to Ohio public colleges and universities. 

69

Students who plan to transfer to a baccalaureate program 

in business must be aware of significant differences in 

course requirements and the application of transfer credits 

at the various institutions in the region. They should work 

closely with their academic advisors from Cincinnati State 

and with the transfer coordinator of the receiving institution 

to tailor their academic program for transfer to another 

institution. 

Accounting Technology (ACCT) 

Program Chair - Michele Geers 


Advisor - Yvonne Baker, Eric Roth

of business fundamentals. Students enhance their skills 

through cooperative education with small and large CPA 

firms; manufacturing, merchandising, and service companies; 

financial institutions; not-for-profit organizations; and 

government agencies. Students learn the fundamentals of 

financial, managerial, and tax accounting and gain a background

to perform accounting duties related to the preparation 

of financial statements; analyze data from a corporation’s 

annual report; prepare income tax returns for individuals, 

corporations, and partnerships; and assist in management 

decisions regarding product costing, cost-volumeprofit

Technologies Division 


The Engineering Technologies Division’s mission is to 

serve students by promoting excellence in engineering 

technologies through professional instruction, cooperative 

education, and advising. Numerous outside agencies have 

recognized the Division for excellence; several of its programs 

have earned accreditation through the Technology 

Accreditation Commission for the Accreditation Board for 

Engineering and Technology (TAC/ABET). The Division 

actively pursues its mission by offering students a range of 

learning opportunities and by identifying emerging technologies 

and addressing industry’s changing requirements 

for qualified employees. 

The Engineering Technologies Division offers eight twoyear 

Associate’s degree programs, providing seven areas of 

specialization. Each curriculum includes specialized technical 

work, basic theory and skill in mathematics and science, 

and foundation courses in communication skills, 

humanities, and social sciences. All students must complete 

the college orientation course CAR 9002, College 

Success Strategies, within the first 18 credit hours taken at 

Cincinnati State. Full-time students who follow the published 

sequence of courses can complete the Associate’s 

degree programs in two years. Completing the Associate’s 

degree programs on a part-time basis requires a longer 

time. 

Certificate programs in the Engineering Technologies 

Division address areas of special interest requiring less 

coursework than an Associate’s degree program. These 

programs vary in length from a short selection of technical 

courses to a full one-year plan of studies, including 

accompanying math, science, and communications courses. 

Some certificate programs mesh with existing 

Associate’s degree programs, allowing students to apply 

earned credit toward obtaining a degree. Others stand 

alone, offering training in a specific area. In any case, all 

courses undergo the same rigorous approval process used 

to ensure quality and relevance in the Division’s 

Associate’s degree course offerings. 

The Division’s Associate’s degree programs provide ready 

access to the job market and also allow ease of transfer to 

four-year baccalaureate degree programs. The close tie 

with industry created by the Division’s active cooperative 

education component ensures that each program remains 

technically current. Articulation agreements are in place 

with Miami University, the University of Cincinnati, 

Northern Kentucky University, the University of Findlay, 

Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, and the University 

of Toledo. Each of these agreements varies in content, 

and interested students should meet with their program 

advisor as early as possible to review the details of each 

arrangement. 

The articulation agreement with the University of Toledo 

allows graduates of four Cincinnati State programs to complete 

a Bachelor of Computer Science and Engineering 

Technology degree on Cincinnati State’s campus. These 

programs are: Electro-Mechanical Engineering Technology, 

Electronics Engineering Technology, Biomedical 

Equipment & Information Systems Technology and 

Computer Network Engineering Technology. 



studies in engineering technologies, entering students must 











The Engineering Technologies Division provides technology 

instruction that combines classroom and laboratory 

instruction with practical, hands-on experience in real 

work environments. This combination helps prepare students 

for immediate employment upon graduation and 

positions them for advancement in technology and midmanagement 

careers. The cooperative education experience 

is a cornerstone of the educational process in the 

Engineering Technologies Division. 

All students enrolled in the Division’s Associate’s degree 

programs are required to earn up to 10 credit hours in 

cooperative education. Most students complete this 

requirement through on-site cooperative education assignments. 

Students may earn credit by alternating full-time 

terms in the classroom with full-time terms of cooperative 

education, typically over a ten-term period. Students may 

be able to substitute appropriate academic courses or pre- 

89

vious related work experience for cooperative education 

employment, with prior approval from the appropriate 

program co-op coordinator. 

For eligibility requirements, co-op registration policies, 

and other issues related to cooperative education, please 

refer to the “Cooperative Education Program” section of 

the catalog. 















Associate’s degree programs in the Engineering 

Technologies Division contain in their curriculums many 

of the required courses for the Cincinnati State Transfer 

Module. Students who wish to complete the transfer module 

should schedule the additional courses at their convenience. 

Students who transfer to an Ohio public university 

for baccalaureate degrees will find that the Cincinnati 

State Associate of Applied Science degree, combined with 

a transfer module showing grades of “C” or higher, 

receives preferential consideration at the receiving institution. 

Additionally, the transfer process has been streamlined 

for graduates of Engineering Technologies programs 

by the articulation agreements described above. 

Aviation Maintenance Technology (AMT) 

Program Chair - James Schmid 

Co-op Coordinator – Sue Dolan 

This two-year program prepares students to perform 

inspections and repairs on all types of aircraft, approving 

them for flight after maintenance has been performed. 

Classroom study involves learning every system of the aircraft 

and developing mechanical skills on the fleet of aircraft 

that Cincinnati State owns. In addition, students have 

opportunities to co-op with a variety of aircraft operators 

ranging from general aviation to jet airliners. 

The FAA has approved this program under Part 147 of 

the Federal Aviation Regulations (Air Agency Certificate 

Number AD9T00R). Graduates earn an Associate of 

Applied Science degree and are eligible to test for the FAA 

Aviation Mechanic Certificate with Airframe and 

Powerplant ratings. Certification requirements are subject 

to current Federal Aviation Requirements and may change 

without notice. 

All Aviation courses are conducted at the Cincinnati 

West Airport in Harrison, Ohio. Some non-core courses 

may be taken at the Cincinnati West Facility or the main 

campus.

Clinical Laboratory Technician Program 

(CLT) 

Program Chair - Janelle Gohn, MT (ASCP) 

Clinical Laboratory Technicians work closely with physicians, 

providing much of the information needed to diagnose 

and treat patients. They work in the laboratories of 

hospitals, clinics, research centers, and industry. In clinical 

chemistry, hematology, microbiology, and blood bank laboratories 

they form a vital part of the health care team. 

The Clinical Laboratory Technician program is an 

Associate of Applied Science degree program that includes 

two unpaid clinical laboratory rotations and four terms of 

paid parallel cooperative employment. The program is 

accredited by the National Accrediting Agency for Clinical 

Laboratory Sciences (NAACLS), 8410 West Bryn Mawr 

Avenue, Suite 670, Chicago, IL 60631, (773) 714-8880. 

Clinical Laboratory Technicians employed in a laboratory, 

hospital, or clinic may specialize in one or two of the 

several areas of laboratory work or may rotate through all 

the departments in the laboratory. In clinical chemistry 

they perform chemical analysis of the blood for constituents, 

including glucose, urea, chloride, sodium, potassium, 

and enzymes. In hematology they take blood samples 

from patients; count red and white cells; determine 

coagulation, bleeding, and prothrombin times; measure 

sedimentation rates; and determine hemoglobin concentrations. 

In microbiology they prepare and stain slides; 

grow and identify the cause of infectious disease; determine 

the susceptibility of bacteria to antibiotics; and 

examine specimens for parasites. In immunohematology, 

they process and prepare donor blood for transfusions. In 

the serology department they examine specimens for antibodies 

against various diseases.

Successful completion of the curriculum qualifies students 

to apply to take a national certification exam. 

Graduates may apply to the American Society for Clinical 

Pathology Board of Registry to obtain certification as a 

Medical Laboratory Technician, MLT (ASCP), or the 

National Certification Agency for Medical Laboratory 

Personnel to obtain certification as a Clinical Laboratory 

Technician, CLT (NCA).

Advisor - Phil Vossmeyer, C, P/F 

The Fire Service Technology program provides entrylevel 

firefighting and EMT training to those seeking firefighter 

careers and advanced training and leadership skills 

for firefighters who wish to advance in their careers. 

Graduates earn an Associate of Applied Science degree. 

The scope of fire service encompasses many needs of 

communities served. Many demands, small and large, are 

placed on fire service providers. Removing a bird’s nest 

from a light fixture and extricating injured victims from a 

vehicle collision are examples of day-to-day details handled 

by fire departments. Fire personnel must therefore be 

trained and then cross-trained in diverse subject areas.

The Cincinnati State Bethesda School of 

Nursing (NUR and NURP) 

Program Chair/Director - Alice Palmer, RN, ANP 

Program Coordinator/Assistant Director - 

Joanne Johnson, RNC 

The School of Nursing prepares graduate nurses who are 

eligible to take the national standardized nursing examination 

(NCLEX-RN) and upon passing, work as registered 

nurses. 

The program is approved by the Ohio Board of Nursing 

and is accredited by the National League for Nursing 

Accrediting Commission (61 Broadway, New York, NY 

10006, 800-669-1656). Graduates are members of the 

health team prepared to provide nursing care to clients 

with common health problems in a variety of settings. 

For program eligibility, applicants must be graduates of 

an accredited high school or give evidence of high school 

equivalency by GED scores that meet standard core 

requirements set by the Ohio State Department of 

Education. Applicants must have grades of “C” or higher 

in high school or college biology, chemistry, and algebra 

courses. These courses must have been taken within seven 

years of application. COMPASS scores must meet program 

requirements. Applicants must be Ohio state-tested nurse 

aides. A cumulative grade point average and a specific 

grade point average of at least 2.5 on a 4.0 scale are 

required for entry. The cumulative grade point average is 

based upon all courses attempted at Cincinnati State. The 

specific grade point average is based upon attempted 

courses designated as Level One nursing curriculum 

courses. These courses are: ENG 1001, ENG 1002, PSY 

1505, PSY 1506, BIO 4009, BIO 4014, BIO 4015, SOC 

1521, and MCH 4816. 

Support courses must be taken in the sequence listed in 

the program curriculum outline unless they have been 

taken previous to the term required. Students must meet 

all requirements of the program, receive a minimum grade 

of “C” or “Pass” in all curriculum courses, attain satisfactory 

clinical evaluation, and maintain a minimum overall 

grade point average of 2.0 to remain in, progress through, 

and complete the program. 

Current certification in CPR for health care providers is 

required for admission into all clinical nursing courses. 

Students must provide a recent physical exam with up-todate 

immunizations, including Hepatitis B, prior to commencing 

course work. Students must obtain a two-step TB 

skin test to enter the program and obtain an annual repeat 

to remain in the program. 

During the final term of the curriculum, students must 

pass a nationally standardized exit exam in order to pass 

the final clinical course. 

Prospective students are advised that when applying for 

the state licensure examination that they will be required 

to answer a series of questions related to criminal convictions 

and reasons for dismissal from work positions. A positive 

response to any of these questions can result in disqualification 

as a candidate for licensure. Refer to Ohio 

Revised Code 4723.28 for clarification. 

Students who are admitted to the program who have 

been convicted of felonies and/or misdemeanors are 

required to contact the program director to discuss their 

situation before entering the first nursing course. Students 

who are convicted of possession and/or distribution of 

controlled substances, or have positive drug screens for 

non-prescription controlled substances while enrolled in 

the program will be automatically dismissed. 

A special track for Licensed Practical Nurses (NURP) 

with recent experience in hospitals or skilled long-term 

facilities exists, and those interested in this track should 

request information through the pre-technology nursing 

advisor or NURP coordinator. 

Students who wish to transfer nursing credit from another 

nursing program to Cincinnati State must contact the pro- 

113

gram chair for specific information after being admitted to 

the College and program. Students may transfer a maximum 

of 26 quarter credits. Restrictions may be placed on 

nursing credit transfer for students who failed a nursing 

course or courses in another program. Because nursing is 

a dynamic profession, the program reserves the right to 

change the curriculum as necessary.

Program Chair - Claudia Miller, MHS, OTR/L 

Occupational therapy is the art and science of directing 

the human response to selected activity to promote and 

maintain health, prevent disability, assess behavior, and

treat or train patients with physical or psychological dysfunction. 

The graduate Occupational Therapy Assistant is a technically 

qualified member of the health team who functions 

under the supervision or consultation of a certified/registered 

occupational therapist. The Assistant accepts clinical 

responsibilities in hospitals, nursing homes, schools, rehabilitation 

centers, or those organizations directed to maintain 

health and socialization. The graduate demonstrates 

entry-level competency in analyzing activities and their 

application to patient needs; occupational therapy concepts 

and skills (daily living skills, group activities, media 

used in treatment, and adaptive equipment); direction of 

activity programs; department operation management; 

data collection; self understanding and the realization of 

the effect that one’s behavior has on the patient/client and 

others; upholding the standards of the profession; identifying 

the need for continuing professional education and 

growth; and relating occupational therapy to the total 

health care system. 

The mission of this program is to meet community manpower 

needs, to prepare graduates for entry-level practice 

in the community, to educate the community, and to function 

within standards of the College and the American 

Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA). 

The Occupational Therapy Assistant program is accredited 

by the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy

The Humanities Division recognizes that each student 

has a unique combination of attitudes, beliefs, values, and 

experiences. The Humanities Division’s courses enable 

students to understand the forces that shape them, especially 

in the psychological, social, and economic areas, 

and provide tools that assist students either in controlling 

or adapting to these forces. 

Foremost among these tools is effective communication, 

both oral and written. Therefore, the Division offers a 

number of courses that enhance communication skills by

developing critical thinking techniques and the ability to 

present information in a clear, organized manner. To set 

the stage for success in the college experience, degreeseeking 

students are required to complete the college orientation 

course CAR 9002, College Success Strategies, 

within the first 18 credit hours taken at Cincinnati State. 

The Humanities Division offers the following degrees: 

Associate of Arts, Associate of Applied Science in Early

studies in Humanities, entering students must meet established 

academic levels in mathematics, communication 

skills, and reading comprehension. To aid in determining 

these levels, entering students are required to take COM- 

PASS, the college admissions/placement test. If testing and 

previous academic background indicate that a student has 

not reached the necessary preparatory level, a divisional 

advisor will assist in preparing a program of classes to 

help the student reach those levels. Preparatory classes are 

available on a year-round basis. 


The Humanities Division shares the College's commitment 

to cooperative education as an integral part of the 

curriculum. Cooperative education allows students to 

apply concepts learned in the classroom with practical, 

hands-on experience in full-time or part-time on-site work 

environments. In some cases, degree-seeking students with 

prior work experience related to their post-baccalaureate 

career goals may be eligible to receive credit through the 

standard College procedures for granting Advanced 

Standing Credit. The program chair and cooperative education 

coordinator must approve all substitutions in 

advance.

Technologies Division 


Cincinnati State’s Information Technologies Division provides 

business, industry, and organizations that depend on 

information technology (IT) with skilled professionals and 

technicians to support their IT efforts. The Information 

Technologies Division includes degree and certificate programs 

that have been offered at Cincinnati State for many 

years, in addition to new degree programs that address 

emerging information technology areas. 

The Information Technologies division offers nine 

Associate of Applied Science degrees, three Associate of 

Applied Business degrees, and four certificate programs. 

These programs encompass the four occupational cluster 

areas defined by the State of Ohio’s plan “itWorks.Ohio.” 

The Joint Council of the Ohio Board of Regents and the 

State Board of Education developed this comprehensive 

plan to keep Ohio-educated students in secondary 

schools, colleges, and universities on the leading edge of 

IT knowledge and skills. 

The four IT occupational cluster areas and the corresponding 

Cincinnati State degree programs include: 

• Information Services and Support. This area includes 

degree programs in Computer Information Systems, 

PC Support and Administration, and Database 

Management Systems Technology. A separate major in 

Database Administration is also available. 

• Multimedia Information Design. This area includes 

degree programs in Audio/Video Production, 

Computer Graphics, Technical Communication, and 

Web Design. All four programs prepare students to 

create and produce digitally generated or computerenhanced 

products used in business, education, entertainment, 

communication, and many other fields. The 

Multimedia Information Design area also offers certificate 

programs in Electronic Publishing and in 

Technical Communication. 

In addition to the other entrance requirements 

(described later in this section), students in the 

Multimedia Information Design programs must 

demonstrate keyboarding competency of a minimum 

20 words per minute. Students who do not meet 

entrance competencies must enroll in skill-building 

courses. 

• Network Systems. This area includes degree programs 

in Computer Network Engineering Technology and 

Network Administration. Students may select an 

emphasis in network hardware, network software, or 

network administration. 

• Programming and Software Development. This area 

includes two degree programs. Business Computer 

Programming emphasizes designing, developing, testing, 

and maintaining computer software and systems. 

Software Engineering Technology includes studying 

computer operating systems, programming languages, 

and software development while preparing students 

for transfer to Bachelor’s degree programs in 

Computer Science and related fields. 

All Information Technologies Division students must 

complete the college orientation course CAR 9002,

Technologies Division must demonstrate competence with 

commonly used software applications and with basic 

Internet operations. Students may be asked to demonstrate 

these competencies through standardized skills assessment 

tests or by completing prerequisite courses, if necessary. 

Program advisors assist students in determining whether 

they meet minimum competencies. 


Through the cooperative education program, the 

Information Technologies Division provides instruction 

that combines classroom learning with practical hands-on 

experience in business and industry environments. 

127

Cooperative education is an integral part of IT programs, 

and degree-seeking students are required to participate in 

co-op work experiences. In a few highly competitive 

career areas students may have an opportunity to participate 

in unpaid internships to gain work experience. 















Associate’s degree programs in the Information 

Technologies Division contain in their curriculums many 

of the required courses for the Cincinnati State transfer 

module. Students may schedule the additional courses 

needed to complete the transfer module at their convenience. 

Students who transfer to an Ohio public university 

for baccalaureate degrees will find that a Cincinnati State 

Associate of Applied Business or Associate of Applied 

Science degree, combined with a transfer module showing 

grades of “C” or higher, leads to preferential consideration

Sciences Division 


Sciences Division faculty are prepared for and dedicated 

to fulfilling the following Divisional goals: 

• teaching the principles of physics, chemistry, and 

mathematics considered basic to successful studies in 

science-dependent fields such as engineering technologies, 

health technologies, science and health laboratory 

sciences, or technical business services. 

• teaching the principles of physics, chemistry, and 

mathematics considered essential to successful science 

studies within liberal arts programs. 

• providing in-depth instruction which prepares students 

for Bachelor’s degree studies in scientific or mathe- 

137

matical fields after obtaining an Associate of Science 

degree at Cincinnati State. 

Most students who earn an Associate of Science degree 

continue their studies at a four-year college or university. 

Due to the Sciences Division’s commitment to the integration 

of language and reading skills, mathematics, and the 

understanding of scientific principles to provide a comprehensive 

problem-solving approach to learning, these students 

are well prepared to further their studies. 

The Sciences Division emphasizes laboratory experiences, 

particularly in the laboratory-based chemistry and 

physics departments. Through observation and manipulation 

of laboratory materials, students gain genuine understanding 

of physical laws, concepts, and hypotheses and 

have opportunities to learn to use their own ingenuity 

while investigating and reporting on scientific issues and 

phenomena. 

Mathematics and Science Readiness 

Recommendations for Cincinnati State students concerning 

enrollment in mathematics and science courses are 

determined according to the readiness of each student. 

Readiness is determined during the admissions process 

through assessment testing and advisor interviews. 

Students who need to enhance skills prior to enrolling in 

college-level courses are assisted in selecting appropriate 

Developmental Education courses described elsewhere in 

this catalog. As a result, opportunities for students to be 

successful in their mathematics and science studies are 

greatly enhanced. 


The Sciences Division shares Cincinnati State’s commitment 

to cooperative education as an integral part of the 

curriculum. Cooperative education allows students to 

apply concepts learned in the classroom with practical, 

hands-on experience in real (full- or part-time) on-site 

work environments. In some cases, degree-seeking students 

with prior work experience related to their post-baccalaureate 

career goals may be eligible to receive credit 

through the standard College procedures for granting 

Advanced Standing Credit. The program chair and cooperative 

education coordinator must approve all substitutions 

in advance. 



refer to the “Cooperative Education” section of the catalog 

on pages 27 and 28. 












see the "State of Ohio Policy for Institutional Transfer" 

and the "Transfer Module" sections of the College catalog. 

The Associate of Science degree contains all of the 

required courses for the transfer module. Students who 

transfer to an Ohio public university for baccalaureate 

degrees will find that an Associate of Science degree leads 

to preferential consideration at the receiving institution. 

Associate of 

Individualized Study 

In order to meet the particular career education needs of 

qualified students, Cincinnati State offers the Associate of 

Individualized Study (AIS) degree. This degree can be pursued 

by students whose career objectives cannot be met 

through one of the associate degree programs offered by 

the College. 

To apply for acceptance into an AIS degree program, students 

should follow these steps: 

1. Contact the Dean of Humanities and Sciences. 

2. Complete an admissions application. 

3. Have a copy of their high school transcript and 

college transcript, if applicable, sent directly to the 

College's Admission Records Office. Applicants who have 

a GED should submit a copy of the scores. 

4. Take the college placement test, COMPASS. 

5. Meet with an admissions counselor who will 

direct the student to the academic division which will be 

responsible for the AIS program. 

6. Consult with the assigned academic advisor who 

will assist the student in planning the AIS curriculum. 

7. Write a justification of the degree program, 

including a statement of career goals and an explanation 

of why another associate degree program would not be 

appropriate. 

The program justification and curriculum must be sent to 

the Academic Policies and Curriculum Committee (APCC) 

for approval. The APCC may approve the request, suggest 

modifications in the curriculum, or deny the request. If 

the AIS program proposal is denied, the student may wish 

to apply to another academic program. 

Associate of 

Technical Study 

Associate of Technical Study: 

Type A Program 

This program enables the student to receive college credit 

for qualified industry training and to choose courses 

from two or more existing Cincinnati State associate 

degree programs and thereby design a personalized curriculum. 

All ATS-Type A program curricula must be 

approved by the Academic Policies and Curriculum 

Committee. 

For more information concerning the Associate of 

Technical Study-Type A program, contact the Dean of 

Humanities and Sciences. 

138

Associate of Technical Study: 

Type B Program 

This program helps the College to develop associate 

degree programs in partnership with professional organizations 

and helps business/industrial firms with staff development 

programs by equating their training activity to a 

block of college credit. 

A College review committee will examine the training 

program offered by an organization in order to determine 

if it qualifies for inclusion. All ATS-Type B curricula must 

be approved by the Academic Policies and Curriculum 

Committee. 

When implemented, each program accommodates students 

transferring from an educational program which lies 

outside the traditional collegial domain. The degree gives 

recognition to the training of the professionals while 

enabling them to experience the broadening and enriching 

components of a college education.
