our students centered on teaching and learning<br />
• Value the diversity of our college community<br />

Vision<br />
<strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> Technical and Community College will be a<br />
Premier Two-Year College in the <strong>State</strong> of Ohio and a National<br />
Leader in the Community College Movement for its:<br />
Commitment to a student-centered education delivery system<br />
Quality of comprehensive academic offerings and student<br />
services<br />
Uniqueness in experiential learning<br />
Dedication of faculty and staff to both academic excellence<br />
and the betterment of the community it serves.<br />
Cooperative Education<br />
Since its beginning, <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> has emphasized the<br />
value of integrating cooperative work experience with academic<br />
coursework. The College’s graduate employment rate of<br />
98% speaks directly to <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong>’s commitment to provide<br />
quality education enriched by on-the-job training.<br />
Students encounter “real life” job demands, helping to clarify<br />
their career choices as well as promoting independence and<br />
responsibility in the workplace. Most co-op experiences are<br />
paid placements that permit students to earn while learning<br />
and also to defray the total cost of their education. The College<br />
has been recognized nationally for its extensive cooperative<br />
education program. Over 600 area employers provide placements<br />
for <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> students who devote at least one<br />
term of their program of study to applying the knowledge they<br />
have acquired in the lab and in the classroom.<br />
Student-Centered<br />
Quality Education<br />
<strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> is also known for its dedication to teaching<br />
and its student-centered philosophy and practices. Small class<br />
sizes, an extensive developmental education program, a free<br />
tutoring program, counseling, and library services provide the<br />
kinds of academic support needed for success for both the<br />
returning adult student and the recent high school student.<br />
Both theory and practice are stressed through appropriate<br />
classroom, laboratory, and cooperative/clinical education<br />
experiences. Each student at <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> is an individual,<br />
not a number.<br />
<strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> teachers take pride in the personal attention<br />
afforded to each student, and every <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> graduate<br />
is a reflection of the College’s commitment to developing<br />
human potential, one student at a time.<br />
Collaborative Relationships<br />
<strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> serves the community by hosting numerous<br />
community events throughout the year and by its many partnerships<br />
with area high schools and universities. In addition to<br />
the College’s extensive cooperative education program<br />
described above, the College is a member of the Greater<br />
<strong>Cincinnati</strong> Consortium of Colleges and Universities which<br />
allows students, under certain conditions, to take courses not<br />
offered at their home institution at any of the thirteen member<br />
institutions. Students who wish more information about this<br />
13
program should contact <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong>’s registrar.<br />
<strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> also has a cross-registration agreement with<br />
the Army and Air Force ROTC at the University of <strong>Cincinnati</strong>.<br />
Army and Air Force personnel teach the General Military<br />
Training (GMT) course classes. Enrollment in these classes<br />
entails no service obligation. Books for these courses and uniforms<br />
are provided free to students. The student attends ROTC<br />
classes and drill periods on the University of <strong>Cincinnati</strong> campus<br />
while attending academic classes at <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong>.<br />

Students who are high school graduates or have a high<br />
school equivalence (GED) are eligible for admission to<br />
<strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> Technical and Community College.<br />
Upon completion of the admission process, students will be<br />
admitted to a degree program. Some admitted students may be<br />
recommended to participate in prerequisite or developmental<br />
education courses. All placements are based on a review of<br />
placement test scores and high school (or GED) and college<br />
transcripts. All admission placements may lead to an associate<br />
degree or certificate.<br />
Prerequisite or developmental education courses enable the<br />
student to develop or strengthen important academic skills by<br />
taking prescribed classes. A class schedule is designed by an<br />
academic advisor to enhance the student’s academic success<br />
and is based on the student’s goal, a review of placement test<br />
scores, high school and/or college transcripts, and the academic<br />
advising session. Students must complete all prerequisite<br />
or developmental education courses in five terms or one<br />
calendar year.<br />
Students admitted to degree programs are regular students<br />
enrolled in eligible programs for the purpose of receiving a<br />
degree or certificate.<br />
Graduation Rate Information: Graduation rate information is<br />

permanent resident, or refugee by the Bureau of<br />
Citizenship and Immigration Services may be admitted on the<br />

of tuition and fees only. The Advance Deposit Fee covers<br />
approximately two (2) terms of tuition. The student must<br />
provide for all other expenses, room, board, books, transportation<br />
and incidental expenses.<br />

Financial Information<br />
Student Expenses<br />
The Ohio Board of Regents provides a student subsidy to<br />
<strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> Technical and Community College for each Ohio<br />
resident enrolled. The amount received from the Regents is less<br />
than one-half of the College’s operating costs. The balance must<br />
come from tuition payments and other sources. Out-of-state residents<br />
pay the highest tuition since the College receives no<br />
Regents’ subsidy for their instruction. (See the end of this section<br />
for complete explanation of residency determination.)<br />

Refund of Tuition Charges<br />
Students are responsible for paying all charges incurred as a<br />
result of registering for classes. The College will not drop a student's<br />
classes nor reduce tuition charges/fees due to a student's<br />
non-payment of those charges. Students may receive a fee<br />
reduction for classes by formally withdrawing (dropping) from<br />
those classes for any reason. The amount of the fee reduction<br />
is based upon the date of withdrawal (drop) and calculated<br />
according to the College's published refund schedule. Refunds<br />
are disbursed to the student or/and a third party payor. Refund<br />
checks are mailed to students during the third week of the term.<br />

completes and signs the official College drop/add class<br />
form. The student shall deliver the completed form to the<br />
Registrar Office. The official date of withdrawal (drop) is<br />
the date of entry of the form by the Registrar Office.<br />

tuition fee and course/lab fee for the dropped class.<br />
Refunds for dropped classes processed in the<br />
Registrar Office from the first day of the term through the

Tuition Reciprocity for<br />
Northern Kentucky<br />
Residents<br />
<strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> Technical and Community College does not<br />
charge out-of-state tuition add-ons to residents of Boone,<br />
Bracken, Campbell, Carroll, Gallatin, Grant, Kenton, and<br />
Pendleton Counties in Kentucky. To qualify for reciprocity, students<br />
must be admitted to <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> as a degree-seeking<br />
student and enroll in an eligible associate degree program. To<br />
be admitted a student must submit an admission application,<br />
have high school and college (if applicable) transcripts mailed<br />
to <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong>, and complete the placement test.<br />
Certificate programs are excluded from this tuition reciprocity<br />
agreement.<br />
This same reciprocity agreement enables graduates of<br />
<strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> who are residents of Butler, Clermont, Hamilton,<br />
and Warren Counties in Ohio to enroll in certain baccalaureate<br />
degree programs at Northern Kentucky University and pay<br />
Kentucky resident tuition rates. Graduates must satisfy all NKU<br />

Financial Aid<br />
At <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong>, the purpose of financial aid is to provide<br />
financial assistance to students who, without such assistance,<br />
would be unable to attend the college. <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> awards<br />
over twenty million dollars annually to some 10,000 students<br />
from federal and state financial aid programs, private donors<br />
and the College’s own funds. Complete information about all<br />
of the financial aid programs administered at <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> is<br />
available from the Financial Aid Office and at the <strong>Cincinnati</strong><br />
<strong>State</strong> financial aid web site: http://cincinnatistate.edu/finaid.htm<br />
Financial aid is money in the form of scholarships, grants,<br />
loans and employment (work-study). Most scholarships do not<br />
have to be repaid. Some scholarships, however, are awarded<br />
to students who promise to teach or perform some other serv-<br />
21
ice when they finish school. Grants are typically awarded on<br />
the basis of financial need and do not have to be repaid. Loans<br />
are borrowed money that has to be PAID BACK over a period<br />
of time, usually after the student leaves school. Work-study is<br />
money that students earn by working at a part-time job.<br />
One of the principles behind awarding need-based financial<br />
aid is that students and their families should pay for educational<br />
expenses to the extent they are able. A family’s ability to<br />
pay for educational costs must be evaluated in an equitable<br />
and consistent manner. To be fair to everyone a standard, federal<br />
formula is used to calculate a student’s Expected Family<br />
Contribution (EFC). The information is derived from the student’s<br />
completed Free Application for Federal Student Aid<br />
(FAFSA). Financial need is the difference between a student’s<br />
total annual educational expenses and the amount the student<br />
and his or her family is expected to contribute toward those<br />
expenses. A student’s need for financial assistance will differ<br />
from school to school because the cost of attendance will differ.<br />
Students and their families who have special circumstances<br />
that might affect the amount they are expected to contribute,<br />
such as the recent unemployment of a parent or<br />
spouse, unusual medical or dental expenses not paid by insurance,<br />
may request a Special Condition Application from the<br />
Financial Aid Office.<br />
Office Hours<br />
The office of Financial Aid is open<br />
8:00 am – 5:00 pm Monday thru Wednesday;<br />
and Friday<br />
8:00 am – 7:00 pm Thursday<br />
8:00 am – 7:00 pm Monday thru Thursday<br />
(week prior to start of each term<br />
and first week of classes)<br />
How To Apply<br />
Each year, students need to complete the Free Application for<br />
Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA includes all the information<br />
necessary to determine the student’s Expected Family<br />
Contribution. The FAFSA must be completed for consideration<br />
of most federal student aid programs. Many states, including<br />
Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky, use the FAFSA to award state aid.<br />
Students automatically receive a RENEWAL FAFSA in subsequent<br />
years that contains a summary of the information reported<br />
on the prior year FAFSA.<br />
The FAFSA is available in two formats, paper and electronic.<br />
The paper FAFSA is mailed directly to the application processor<br />
listed on the FAFSA. For those who apply by mail, the processing<br />
time frame is approximately four (4) weeks. For<br />
FAFSAs submitted electronically, the processing time frame is<br />
about two (2) weeks. Electronic filers can submit their FAFSA<br />
application through the Internet by using the <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong><br />
financial aid web address at http://cincinncinnatistate.edu/<br />
finaid.htm or at the Department of Education’s web address at<br />
www.fafsa.ed.gov Students must provide the federal school<br />
code number for each school where they want their FAFSA<br />
results sent. The federal school code number for <strong>Cincinnati</strong><br />
<strong>State</strong> is 01<strong>03</strong>45. To receive maximum consideration for certain<br />
programs, including the Federal Supplemental Educational<br />
Opportunity Grant (SEOG), Federal Work-Study (FWS) and<br />
Federal Perkins Loan programs, students should submit their<br />
22<br />
FAFSA forms by February 15 of each calendar year. Once a<br />
paper or electronic FAFSA is submitted, students receive a document<br />
called a Student Aid Report (SAR). Students should<br />
keep all parts of their SAR in a safe place. The College will<br />
receive the results of each student’s FAFSA electronically. Any<br />
changes to a SAR should go directly to FAFSA. Students will<br />
receive an award letter from the Financial Aid Office that tells<br />
them the types and amounts of aid that have been awarded for<br />
their attendance at <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> once they are verified and<br />
meeting all eligibility requirements for financial aid.<br />
<strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> Scholarship Program<br />

Private ("Outside") Scholarship Opportunities<br />
The public library is an excellent source of information on<br />
private sources of financial aid. The Office of Financial Aid<br />
also has books for students to research scholarship opportunities.<br />
Many companies have programs to help students pay for<br />
post-secondary educational cost for employees and their family<br />
members. In addition, financial assistance is available from<br />
many foundations, religious organizations, fraternities, sororities,<br />
town and city clubs, local school boards, and civic<br />
groups. This information is FREE. There are FREE on-line<br />
scholarship search programs accessible via the Internet.<br />
Students are invited to visit the <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> Financial Aid<br />
Office web site at http://cincinnatistate.edu/finaid.htm for<br />

Academics,<br />
Policies<br />
and Procedures
Equal Opportunity<br />
<strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> Technical and Community College is committed<br />
to a policy of equal educational opportunities for all<br />
persons regardless of race, age, handicap, sexual orientation,<br />
national origin or gender. This policy is adopted as a matter of<br />
law and as a matter of educational policy consistent with the<br />
goals and purposes of the College.<br />
The College also adheres to a policy of equal employment<br />
opportunity and affirmative action to end any illegal pattern of<br />

Assessment of Student<br />
Academic Achievement<br />
In 1994, the North Central Association of Colleges and<br />
Schools began requiring a plan for the assessment of student<br />
academic achievement from each of its member institutions.<br />
The purposes for assessment at <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> are to:<br />
1) demonstrate that the institution is fulfilling its academic<br />
mission and<br />
2) provide information to academic decision-makers for the<br />
continuous improvement of the teaching-learning process.<br />
All students participate in assessment throughout their academic<br />
life at <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong>. Beginning with placement testing,<br />
advisors and faculty work with students to assure that<br />
learning objectives are met and that knowledge gained in the<br />
classroom, labs, and through their cooperative work experience<br />
is applied and integrated into their working and personal<br />
lives. At the same time, <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong>’s assessment model<br />
collects information from employers, advisory committees,<br />
graduates, and other external constituencies that guides the<br />
development and implementation of its academic and technical<br />
programs. General education, cooperative education, and<br />
technical education each have an assessment component.<br />
Because one of the primary purposes of assessment is to provide<br />
assurance that the College is meeting its academic mission,<br />
the foundation of <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong>’s assessment plan is<br />
built directly upon the mission of the College. The following<br />
section is the full text of <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong>’s mission, approved<br />
by the Ohio Board of Regents and the College’s Board of<br />
Trustees.<br />
Mission<br />
We believe that <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> Technical and Community<br />
College makes an important contribution to the technical and<br />
educational status, economic growth, and social well-being of<br />
the Tri-<strong>State</strong> Area. We believe that to continue to serve the<br />
community the College must be willing to modify, adapt, and<br />
create technical and transfer programs that meet the everchanging<br />
needs of students, business, industry and the professional<br />
community. We believe that it is the College’s role to<br />
help students to learn to think independently, to value logical<br />
and tested conclusions, to develop problem solving abilities, to<br />
communicate well, and to function effectively with other people.<br />
We believe in the dignity and worth of the individual and<br />
therefore provide educational opportunities for students<br />
regardless of age, economic or social background, or enrollment<br />
status. We believe that for continued growth we must<br />
display the ability to be creative, to look to the future as well<br />
27<br />
as the past, to strive for excellence, and to exhibit leadership in<br />
the expansion of knowledge and skills through the achievements<br />
of the faculty and the students. We hope to develop in<br />
our students the desire to continue their education throughout<br />
their lives.<br />
The College’s principal concern is its students. This concern<br />
is reflected primarily through offering programs of substantial<br />
quality with the expectation that students will achieve a high<br />
level of competence and understanding in an atmosphere of<br />
positive engagement and mutual respect. In order to maintain<br />
this atmosphere, the College offers opportunities for students to<br />
achieve understanding and appreciation of their own culture<br />
and those of others in an environment that recognizes and values<br />
the cultural diversity of the College population and the<br />
community.<br />
The College has a vital and distinctive mission to perform in<br />
addressing the educational and economic needs of the Tri-<strong>State</strong><br />
Area. The College seeks to implement its philosophy by<br />
providing:<br />
A. Education featuring a combination of theory and practice<br />
primarily through appropriate classroom, laboratory, and<br />
cooperative/clinical education experiences.<br />
B. Technical, Arts, and Science Associate degree programs<br />
that lead to entry or advanced level employment and/or<br />
transfer to a Bachelor’s degree program.<br />
C. Certificate programs, specialized training, and adult continuing<br />
education opportunities of less than one-year<br />
duration.<br />
D. Services and educational experiences to assist students in<br />
determining and reaching their educational objectives.<br />
E. Opportunities for students to develop the skills needed to<br />
enter and succeed in the College’s education programs.<br />
F. Technical, science, arts, and general education courses<br />
that can be applied toward four-year degree programs.<br />
The College endeavors to provide leadership and services in<br />
the promotion of technical, arts, science, and cooperative education.<br />
Cooperative Education<br />
Program Policies<br />
The cooperative education program is an integral part of<br />
<strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong>’s past growth, current strength, and continued<br />
success. The College’s commitment to cooperative education<br />
is reflected in the curricula of most of the associate degree<br />
programs.<br />
Cooperative Education Requirements<br />
<strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> Technical and Community College values<br />
the cooperative education experience, but each division establishes<br />
its own policies regarding how the student may fulfill coop<br />
requirements.<br />
Students should refer to the academic division sections of this<br />
catalog for specific information on how the divisions expect<br />
students to meet cooperative education requirements.<br />
Meeting Academic Eligibility Requirements<br />
To be eligible for placement in cooperative education<br />
employment (or clinical experience/directed practice), a stu-
dent must maintain the required grade point average as stated<br />
in the College catalog (see “Academic Probation and<br />
Dismissal" in this section of the <strong>Catalog</strong>). The student must<br />
also demonstrate satisfactory proficiency in core or other<br />
required courses.<br />
A student who does not maintain the required GPA will not<br />
be eligible for cooperative education or clinical<br />
experience/directed practice without the permission of the program<br />
coordinator.<br />
Refer to the division sections of the catalog for additional<br />
requirements.<br />
Obtaining Cooperative Education Assignments<br />
The College has been quite successful in placing most students<br />
in cooperative education jobs; however, there is no<br />
absolute guarantee of initial or continuing employment. The<br />
employer is solely responsible for decisions about hiring, retention,<br />
dismissal, promotion or demotion of a cooperative education<br />
student. Initial and continuing employment depends on<br />
the skills, aptitudes, and behaviors the individual student offers<br />
to each potential employer.<br />
Co-op Registration Policy<br />
1. No student may report to his or her co-op job until he or<br />
she has registered and paid for co-op.<br />
2. A student failing to register for co-op will not be eligible<br />
to receive co-op credit for that term.<br />
3. Employers of co-op students who fail to register for co-op<br />
will be notified by the coordinator that the student no<br />
longer has co-op status. The employer has the option to<br />
allow the student to continue to work full-time without<br />
co-op status or terminate employment. This decision will<br />
be made by the employer.<br />
Withdrawal From Co-op/Clinical Experience<br />
If a student is removed from a cooperative education or clinical<br />
experience course due to unsatisfactory performance, and<br />
the student subsequently withdraws from that course, the faculty<br />
member responsible for the course, with the approval of<br />
the division dean, may remove the “W” and assign a grade of<br />
“U” or “F.”<br />

Grade Reports<br />
Grades are provided to students at the end of each term.<br />
Grades are also accessible through the College Web registration<br />
system and the touch-tone telephone registration system.<br />
It is the student’s responsibility to check his or her grades for<br />
accuracy. Any errors, discrepancies, or omissions should be<br />
reported to the instructor and/or division dean responsible for<br />
the course. Student concerns about grades should be made<br />
known within 30 days of the end of the term for which the<br />
grade was issued. (See “Academic Appeals Procedures” elsewhere<br />
in this section.)<br />
Grade Changes<br />
Changes to grades must be approved by the instructor who<br />
issued the grade, and must be submitted to the Office of the<br />
Registrar no later than two terms after the term in which the<br />
grade was originally issued.<br />
Calculation of Grade Point Average (GPA)<br />
The College utilizes three grade point averages (GPA) for<br />
each student.<br />
The cumulative GPA is calculated as the total quality points<br />
earned (Grade Point Value Per Credit Hour, listed above) divided<br />
by the total credit hours for courses bearing quality points<br />
attempted at the College.<br />
The Term GPA is calculated as the total quality points earned<br />
(Grade Point Value Per Credit Hour, listed above) divided by<br />
the total credit hours for courses bearing quality points<br />
attempted for that term.<br />
The Program GPA is calculated as the total quality points<br />
earned (Grade Point Value Per Credit Hour, listed above) divided<br />
by the total credit hours for all courses bearing quality<br />
points listed in the student’s current audit curriculum.<br />
The audit curriculum is the list of requirements the student<br />
must complete in order to earn a degree or certificate.<br />
Developmental Education courses beginning with “00” are not<br />
calculated in the GPA.<br />
Incomplete (I)<br />
A grade of “I” (Incomplete) is awarded at the discretion of the<br />
instructor. When unusual circumstances prevent a student<br />
from completing course requirements during the term in which<br />
the student is enrolled, the instructor may agree to record a<br />
28
grade of “I” until the final grade is established. Timetables and<br />
requirements for the completion of the course are the instructor’s<br />
prerogatives. If a final grade has not been submitted to the<br />
Office of the Registrar by the last instructional day of the following<br />
term, a grade of “F” will be automatically recorded.<br />
Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory Grades (S/U)<br />
“S” represents satisfactory performance, or “passing,” in<br />
those courses graded satisfactory/unsatisfactory. Only the<br />
grades of A, B or C are considered passing on the satisfactory/unsatisfactory<br />
system.<br />
No Grade Reported (N)<br />
An “N” grade is administratively assigned by the Office of the<br />
Registrar if no grades are reported for an entire section of a<br />
course. A grade of “N” is not issued to individual students by<br />
the instructor.<br />
Official Course Withdrawal (W)<br />
A student who withdraws from a regularly-scheduled course<br />
after the Last Day to Drop a Course for the term through the<br />
35th instructional day of the term will receive a grade of “W”<br />
for the course. Students who withdraw from a flexibly-scheduled<br />
course after the day designated as the Last Day to Drop a<br />
Course for that course section through the day designated as<br />
the Last Day to Withdraw from that course section will receive<br />
a grade of “W” for the course. The student must complete a<br />
withdrawal form in the Office of the Registrar. The date of<br />
withdrawal will be the time/date stamped in the Office of the<br />
Registrar. A “W” grade is not computed in the student’s grade<br />
point average.<br />
Audit (X)<br />
Students who are interested in taking a course solely for the<br />
value of the instruction may register to audit the course. No<br />
college credit may be earned or later claimed for an audited<br />
course. Regular tuition is charged for courses being audited.<br />
Requirements for attendance, completion of assignments, and<br />
examinations are the prerogatives of the instructor of the<br />
course.<br />
A student may not request a transfer from “credit” to “audit”<br />
or vice versa after the Last Day to Drop a Course for the term.<br />
Advanced Standing Credit<br />
(AC, CL, EC, EL, ET, EX, VO, TP)<br />
Advanced standing credit means that a student receives credit<br />
for completing a <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> course or cooperative education<br />
requirement by using one of the methods listed below<br />
to demonstrate successful completion of appropriate prior academic<br />
and/or work experience. Advanced standing credit is<br />
available to students who have been accepted into a degree or<br />
certificate program.<br />
Students seeking advanced standing credit must follow the<br />
college and divisional procedures described in the <strong>Cincinnati</strong><br />
<strong>State</strong> Student Guide to Advanced Standing Credit. This publication<br />
is available in the Office of the Registrar and in each<br />
academic division's main office.<br />
The types of advanced standing credit are:<br />
External Proficiency Examination. The amount of credit<br />
given for an external proficiency examination is determined by<br />
the appropriate academic department.<br />
• Credit may be awarded for Advanced Placement (AP) scores<br />
of 3 or higher. Credit is shown on the student’s record as “AC.”<br />
• Credit is awarded for College Level Examination Program<br />
(CLEP) scores of 480 or higher. Credit is shown on the student’s<br />
record as “CL.”<br />
• Credit may be awarded for International Baccalaureate program<br />
scores of 5 or higher. Credit is shown on the student’s<br />
record as “IB.”<br />
Internal <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> Proficiency Exam. Credit is shown<br />
on the student's record as "EC."<br />
Credit for Applicable Work Experience. Credit is shown on<br />
the student’s record as “EX.”<br />
Credit for an External Certificate/Licensing Exam. Credit is<br />
shown on the student’s record as “EL.”<br />
Credit for an External Formal Training Program. Credit is<br />
shown on the student’s record as “ET.”<br />
Credit through Senior Vocational Teacher Referral. Credit is<br />
shown on the student’s record as “VO.”<br />
Credit for Tech Prep Coursework. Credit is shown on the<br />
student's record as "TP."<br />
Some types of advanced standing credit are not available in<br />
some degree or certificate programs.<br />
Students should be aware that advanced standing credit<br />
awarded by <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> may not be applicable to degrees<br />
at other colleges or universities. A student who intends to transfer<br />
to another college or university should consult with a transfer<br />
advisor at that institution concerning the transferability of<br />
<strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> advanced standing credits.<br />
Students should make arrangements to apply for advanced<br />
standing credit as soon as possible after admission to a program.<br />
The steps for obtaining advanced standing credit are:<br />
1. The student obtains a Petition for Advanced Standing<br />
Credit from the Office of the Registrar.<br />
2. The student meets with his/her program chair or academic<br />
advisor to determine eligibility for advanced standing credit,<br />
and to determine which faculty member should receive the<br />
completed Petition and supporting documentation.<br />
3. If necessary, the student pays the advanced standing credit<br />
fee at the College Cashier’s Office, and the Petition is marked<br />
“paid.” This step applies to students seeking advanced standing<br />
credit either through internal proficiency exams or through<br />
documented valid academic or work experience. There is a<br />
separate fee charged for each attempt to earn credit through an<br />
internal proficiency exam.<br />
4. The student submits the completed Petition and supporting<br />
documentation to the appropriate faculty member, as determined<br />
in Step 2.<br />
5. After the Petition and related materials have been<br />
reviewed by appropriate division personnel, and the request<br />
for advanced standing credit has been approved or disapproved,<br />
the Petition is forwarded to the Office of the Registrar<br />
and the student is notified of the results.<br />
Students cannot earn credit through an exam for a course<br />
already completed at <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong>. A course is defined as<br />
“completed” if a grade of A, B, C, D, F, S, U, or W has been<br />
issued. Students cannot earn credit through an exam during a<br />
term in which a No Show designation has been assigned for<br />
the course (see page 33).<br />
Additional information is contained in the <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong><br />
Student Guide to Advanced Standing Credit, available in the<br />
Registrar’s Office.<br />
29
Transfer of Credit<br />
Once a student is accepted in a degree or certificate program,<br />
official transcripts from previously attended colleges and universities<br />
submitted for admission will be forwarded to the<br />
Office of the Registrar for transfer of credit evaluation. Only<br />
coursework earned at a regionally-accredited institution with a<br />
grade of "C" or better will be acceptable in transfer. Once the<br />
evaluation of transfer work is completed, the student will<br />
receive, by mail, a Transfer Evaluation Report, which lists all<br />
credits awarded in transfer and what equivalent courses have<br />
been assigned at <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong>. In the event that no equivalent<br />
course at <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> can be assigned, the transfer<br />
course will be accepted as elective credit. Whether or not<br />
courses accepted as elective credit are applicable to the student's<br />
degree or certificate program is at the discretion of the<br />
program chair or academic advisor.<br />
In situations where coursework is five years old or older, or<br />
where requisite skills may have been lost, courses previously<br />
taken at other institutions will be subject to review by the faculty<br />
and dean of the division that offers the equivalent<br />
course(s). Those courses reviewed which do not meet current<br />
program requirements and standards will not count towards<br />
degree or certificate requirements.<br />
Transfer credit accepted at <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> will appear on a<br />
student’s transcript as a cumulative number of hours accepted.<br />
Dean’s List<br />
Students who earn in one term 12 or more credit hours for<br />
academic courses for which quality points are awarded will<br />
qualify for Dean’s List status if their GPA for the current term is<br />
3.5 or greater and no grades of I, F, or U have been earned in<br />
the current term. Developmental Education courses beginning<br />
with "00" are not included in GPA calculations for the Dean’s<br />
List.<br />
Students who earn in one term between 6 and 11 credit hours<br />
of academic courses for which quality points are awarded will<br />
qualify for Academic Merit status if their GPA for the current<br />
term is 3.5 or greater and no grades of I, F, or U have been<br />
earned in the current term. Developmental Education courses<br />
beginning with "00" are not included in GPA calculations for<br />
Academic Merit.<br />
Students who receive a grade of "N" will not initially be eligible<br />
for Dean’s List or Academic Merit. To be eligible for<br />
Dean’s List or Academic Merit, the grade change for the "N"<br />
grade must be submitted to the Office of the Registrar by the<br />
end of the 10th instructional day of the following term. Grade<br />
changes for "N" grades submitted after the 10th instructional<br />
day of the following term will not be recalculated for Dean’s<br />
List or Academic Merit status. Recalculation for Dean’s List and<br />
Academic Merit status will be done only for "N" grades issued<br />
for the immediately preceding term and only if the grade<br />
change is submitted by the deadline.<br />
For all students, the GPA for the term will be calculated by<br />
taking the total quality points (grade point value per credit<br />
hour) awarded during the term, divided by the total credit<br />
hours for courses bearing quality points that are attempted during<br />
the term.<br />
Academic Probation,<br />
Suspension and Dismissal<br />
<strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> students enrolled in a degree or certificate<br />
program must demonstrate satisfactory performance in order to<br />
remain in good standing at the College. Students who do not<br />
demonstrate satisfactory performance will be placed on<br />
Academic Probation. If the work of students on Probation does<br />
not improve, they may be subject to Academic Suspension and<br />
then Academic Dismissal from the College.<br />
A student cannot graduate from a degree or certificate program<br />
while on Academic Probation or Academic Suspension.<br />
Academic Probation<br />
• A student who has earned at least 12 credits and has a<br />
Cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA) below 2.0 is immediately<br />
placed on Academic Probation.<br />
• A student on Academic Probation must have his or her<br />
advisor’s permission before registering for any classes. The<br />
number of credits for which the student may register will be<br />
determined based on consultation with the advisor.<br />
Removal from Probation<br />
A student who is placed on Academic Probation will be<br />
reevaluated at the end of each enrolled term.<br />
To be removed from Probation status, both the student’s Term<br />
GPA and Cumulative GPA must be 2.0 or higher. A student will<br />
continue to be on Probation as long as the student’s<br />
Cumulative GPA is below 2.0.<br />
Academic Suspension<br />
If a student who is on Probation earns a Term GPA below 2.0<br />
in the next enrolled term, the student will be placed on<br />
Academic Suspension.<br />
A student placed on Academic Suspension may not register<br />
for any degree or certificate courses at <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> for two<br />
terms following the term after he or she was placed on<br />
Suspension.<br />
A student may appeal the Academic Suspension through a<br />
written request to the Academic Vice President. The written<br />
request must include a rationale for the appeal and supporting<br />
documentation. The decision of the Academic Vice President<br />
is final.<br />
Readmission after Suspension<br />
A student who is readmitted to the College after Suspension<br />
is subject to the following conditions:<br />
1. The student must meet with his or her program chair/advisor<br />
to determine a plan for academic success.<br />
2. The student must have his or her advisor’s permission<br />
before registering for any classes.<br />
3. The student must maintain a Term GPA of 2.0 or greater for<br />
every enrolled term. The student will continue to be considered<br />
on Probation as long as the student’s Cumulative GPA is<br />
less than 2.0.<br />
Academic Dismissal<br />
<strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> expects students to be able to demonstrate<br />
continued academic success. A student who has been readmitted<br />
after Suspension and is still on Probation (because of a<br />
Cumulative GPA below 2.0) is expected to raise the<br />
Cumulative GPA to 2.0 or above within three terms. Failure to<br />
attain a Cumulative GPA of 2.0 or above within three terms will<br />
result in Academic Dismissal.<br />
A student who has been Academically Dismissed may not<br />
register for any courses for a period of one year.<br />
A student may appeal the Academic Dismissal through a writ-<br />
30
ten request to the Academic Vice President. The written request<br />
must include the rationale for the appeal and supporting documentation.<br />
The decision of the Academic Vice President is<br />
final.<br />
Registration<br />
Students have the option of registering in person in the Office<br />
of the Registrar, through a touch-tone telephone, or over the<br />
Web. Please refer to the Term Bulletin for details for using a<br />
touch-tone telephone or the Web.<br />
Registration for a term usually begins four weeks before the<br />
term begins.<br />
For specific dates of registration and information regarding<br />
touch-tone and Web registration, please refer to the Term<br />
Bulletin or contact the Office of the Registrar at (513) 569-1522.<br />
Enrollment Verification<br />
Students may submit enrollment verification request(s) to the<br />
Office of the Registrar. Depending on the information requested,<br />
Enrollment Verifications may take up to five (5) days to<br />
process.<br />
Enrollment status is determined by the official number of<br />
credit hours for which a student is registered each term.<br />
Enrollment status often is used to help determine eligibility for<br />
financial aid, veterans benefits, company and agency funding,<br />
and health benefits.<br />
Students are responsible for knowing their enrollment status<br />
and understanding the impact of changing credit hours by the<br />
add/drop process.<br />
Generally, <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> will define a student's enrollment<br />
as follows:<br />
Full-Time<br />
Enrollment<br />
12 or more credit hours or full-time<br />
cooperative education placement<br />
3/4 Time 9 - 10 - 11 credit hours<br />
Enrollment<br />
1/2 Time 6 - 7 - 8 credit hours<br />
Enrollment<br />
Less than 5 or fewer credit hours<br />
Half-Time Enrollment<br />
Students placed on a part-time cooperative education placement<br />
are not considered half-time students for the purpose of<br />
enrollment verification.<br />
Completing More Than One Degree<br />
("Double Major")<br />
When a student is admitted to the College he or she is considered<br />
to be seeking only one academic degree or certificate.<br />
In some cases, students may seek to "double major" by pursuing<br />
more than one associate degree in an area that is closely<br />
related to their initial degree program.<br />
To be considered for a "double major," a student must first be<br />
admitted to an associate degree program. (Students who are<br />
seeking a certificate rather than a degree are not eligible to<br />
apply for "double major" status.)<br />
To be considered for a "double major," a student must apply<br />
for admission to the second program by completing a form<br />
available from the Office of Admission. The academic division<br />
in which the student seeks the second major will determine<br />
whether the student is eligible to pursue the second major.<br />
Students who are granted "double major" status are expected<br />
to consult regularly with their program advisor (or advisors) to<br />
ensure that they are making appropriate progress in their<br />
degree programs.<br />
Students with questions or concerns about their academic<br />
status or goals should consult with their program advisor, or<br />
with the Admission and Counseling Office.<br />
Changing Degree Programs<br />
Students who wish to transfer from one degree or certificate<br />
program to another must complete a Change of Degree<br />
Program form and submit it to the College Admission Office.<br />
Calculation of Program GPA for a Student Who Transfers to a<br />
New Degree Program - When a student transfers from one<br />
degree or certificate program to another, all courses attempted<br />
that apply to the new audit curriculum, with the exception of<br />
cooperative education courses, will automatically transfer to the<br />
new program. The new program's audit curriculum will serve as<br />
the basis for calculating the program grade point average.<br />
Additional transfer of courses to the new program, including<br />
cooperative education courses, will be evaluated by the divisional<br />
faculty and dean on an individual basis.<br />
Repeated Course<br />
If a course is repeated, only the highest grade is computed in<br />
the calculation of the GPA. If a student earns the same grade<br />
upon repeating a course, only one grade will be computed in<br />
the calculation of the GPA. The original course grade will continue<br />
to be shown on the transcript even though it is not calculated<br />
in the GPA.<br />
A student who has received a grade of "F," "W," or an equivalent<br />
grade twice for the same course cannot register for the<br />
course a third time without written permission of the student’s<br />
program chair/advisor. The program chair/advisor may require<br />
the student to meet with a <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> professional counselor<br />
to discuss potential for success in the student’s current<br />
degree or certificate program.<br />
Academic Reassessment<br />
Policies<br />
Fresh Start and Forgiveness<br />
<strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> recognizes that in some circumstances students<br />
may seek an opportunity to have their grade point averages<br />
(cumulative and program) adjusted to reflect their academic success<br />
in their current program. Two methods are available for<br />
seeking reassessment:<br />
• Fresh Start applies to a student who is returning to<br />
<strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> after an absence of three years or more.<br />
• Academic Forgiveness applies to a student who has been<br />
attending <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> continuously, or who is returning to<br />
<strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> after an absence of less than three years.<br />
Both of these methods of academic reassessment are onetime,<br />
non-reversible options. These options do not apply to<br />
courses previously applied to an Ohio Board of Regentsauthorized<br />
degree or certificate earned at <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong>.<br />
31
Fresh Start<br />
The Fresh Start policy allows a student who is returning to<br />
<strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> after an absence of three or more years a onetime,<br />
non-reversible option to have his or her cumulative grade<br />
point average and program grade point average recalculated<br />
by removing courses in which the student received a grade of<br />
“D,” “F” or “V” which are no longer applicable to the student’s<br />
current degree or certificate program.<br />
To be eligible for a Fresh Start, a student must first have completed<br />
all re-admission procedures and requirements, be<br />
admitted to an OBR-authorized degree or certificate program,<br />
have completed all developmental education and any other<br />
prerequisite courses that apply to the program, and be enrolled<br />
beyond the fifteenth calendar day of the term for which the<br />
Fresh Start is requested.<br />
The steps for obtaining a Fresh Start are:<br />
1. The student meets with his or her program chair or academic<br />
advisor and completes a Petition for Fresh Start, available<br />
in each division office. The Petition includes a list of the<br />
courses in which the student received a grade of “D,” “F” or<br />
“V” that will no longer be calculated in the student’s cumulative<br />
and program grade point averages, for one or more of<br />
these reasons:<br />
• The course taken previously is not part of the audit curriculum<br />
for the student’s current program.<br />
• The course taken previously pertains to technical<br />
skill/knowledge that is not up-to-date.<br />
2. The student submits the completed Petition to the Office<br />
of the Registrar. A student wishing to apply for Fresh Start must<br />
submit the petition within two terms of re-enrolling at<br />
<strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> after an absence of three or more years.<br />
• A Petition will not be approved if submitted by a student<br />
who has 12 credits or fewer to complete in a degree<br />
program.<br />
3. When the Petition is approved, this statement will be<br />
added to the student’s transcript: “The Fresh Start policy has<br />
been applied to academic work at <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> prior to<br />
(term/year of Petition approval).” The student’s cumulative<br />
grade point average and program grade point average will be<br />
recalculated based on the new set of applicable courses.<br />
The Fresh Start policy can be applied only once, and it cannot<br />
be reversed.<br />
Students planning to transfer to another college or university<br />
are cautioned that the receiving institution may use all grades<br />
earned in computing grade point averages for admission or<br />
other purposes.<br />
Academic Forgiveness<br />
The Academic Forgiveness policy allows any <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong><br />
student a one-time, non-reversible option to have his or her<br />
cumulative grade point average and program grade point average<br />
recalculated by forgiving up to 18 credit hours of coursework<br />
in which a grade of “D,” “F” or “V” was earned.<br />
To be eligible for Academic Forgiveness, a student must be<br />
currently admitted to an OBR-authorized degree or certificate<br />
program and must have completed all prerequisite courses that<br />
apply to the student’s current degree or certificate program.<br />
The steps for obtaining Academic Forgiveness are:<br />
1. The student meets with his/her program chair or academic<br />
advisor and completes a Petition for Academic Forgiveness,<br />
available in each division office. The Petition includes a list of<br />
the courses that will be forgiven.<br />
2. The student submits the completed Petition to the Office<br />
of the Registrar. The Petition must be submitted to the Office<br />
of the Registrar by the Last Day to Drop a Course for the term<br />
in which the initial evaluation is to be done.<br />
3. Petitions are evaluated at the end of the term. For the<br />
Petition to be approved, the student must complete a minimum<br />
of 12 additional credits, while maintaining a term GPA of 2.0<br />
or better. Only courses earning quality points (grade point<br />
value per credit hour) are applicable for the 12 additional credits.<br />
Developmental Education courses beginning in “00” and<br />
co-op courses are not applicable.<br />
• A Petition will not be approved if submitted by a student<br />
who has 12 credits or fewer to complete in a degree<br />
program.<br />
• If a student has not completed 12 credits at the end of the<br />
term in which the Petition is submitted, the Petition will be<br />
held in the Office of the Registrar, and will be reviewed<br />
again at the end of each term until the student completes<br />
the required 12 credits.<br />
• If a student submits a Petition after the Last Day to Drop a<br />
Course for the term, the courses being taken during that<br />
term will not be applied to the required 12 credits, and the<br />
Petition will not be evaluated until the end of the following<br />
term.<br />
4. When the Petition is approved, this statement will be<br />
added to the student’s transcript: “Academic Forgiveness has<br />
been applied to academic work at <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> prior to<br />
(term/year of Petition approval).” The student’s cumulative<br />
grade point average and program grade point average will be<br />
recalculated based on the new set of applicable courses.<br />
The Academic Forgiveness policy can be applied only once,<br />
and it cannot be reversed.<br />
Students planning to transfer to another college or university<br />
are cautioned that the receiving institution may use all grades<br />
earned in computing grade point averages for admission or<br />
other purposes.<br />
Academic Procedures<br />
Academic Appeals Procedure<br />
<strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> Technical and Community College has<br />
adopted the following procedures to ensure that students with<br />
legitimate concerns about academic processes (hereafter<br />
called "academic appeals") can resolve these concerns equitably.<br />
A student is expected to first attempt to resolve concerns<br />
directly with the instructor, within two terms of when the grade<br />
was issued.<br />
1. A student is expected to bring his or her academic appeal<br />
first to his or her faculty advisor (program chair or cooperative<br />
education coordinator).<br />
2. If the concern cannot be settled at this level, the student is<br />
expected to bring his or her academic appeal to the division<br />
dean or the dean’s designee.<br />
3. It is expected that most academic appeals will be resolved<br />
at the division level. However, if the concern cannot be<br />
resolved by the division dean, the student may continue<br />
the academic appeals process by meeting with an academic<br />
appeals panel. To initiate this process, the student<br />
must submit a written request to appeal the decision of the<br />
division dean, including a statement of the concern that is<br />
to be addressed, and pertinent documentation, to the<br />
Academic Vice President. The Academic Vice President<br />
32
will review all pertinent information in order to determine if<br />
the appeal merits the formation of a panel. If the Academic<br />
Vice President determines that an appeals panel should appropriately<br />
be formed, the process continues with step four. If the<br />
Academic Vice President does not feel the student’s appeal<br />
merits the formation of a panel, he will meet with the student<br />
involved and relay his findings and recommendations.<br />
4. If an academic appeals panel is convened, it will be composed<br />
of one dean (excluding the dean of the division<br />
involved in the appeal), appointed by the Academic Vice<br />
President; and two faculty members, appointed by the<br />
Faculty Senate. The designated dean will chair the panel,<br />
solicit appointment of the faculty representatives, convene<br />
meetings of the panel, and provide copies of necessary<br />
documentation to the other panel members.<br />
Documentation will include:<br />
a. The student's written statement and other material<br />
the student wishes to submit.<br />
b. A written summary of the disposition of the case<br />
at the division level, prepared by the division's dean.<br />
c. The student's transcript, or any other related materials<br />
the panel may wish to examine.<br />
5. The chair will convene a meeting that includes the student,<br />
the members of the panel, and other participants the<br />
panel may choose to invite to the meeting. The student<br />
will have an opportunity to present his or her concern,<br />
and the panel members will have the opportunity to ask<br />
questions and seek clarification. If the panel determines<br />
there are issues involved which are not academic concerns,<br />
the panel will inform the student of appropriate<br />
measures to be taken.<br />
6. The panel may, at its own discretion, refer the matter to<br />
the Academic Policies & Curriculum Committee (APCC)<br />
for advice and recommendations.<br />
7. If the APCC is to be convened to review the appeal, the<br />
panel chair must ensure that all related documentation is<br />
submitted to the APCC chair one week prior to the APCC<br />
meeting. Any recommendations made by the APCC will be<br />
submitted to the academic appeals panel for consideration.<br />
8. The chair of the academic appeals panel will forward a<br />
recommendation along with all related documentation to<br />
the Academic Vice President (chief academic officer) of<br />
the College. The chief academic officer will make the<br />
final determination regarding the appeal and will notify<br />
the dean of the division involved in the appeal. That dean<br />
will communicate this determination to the student who<br />
initiated the appeal.<br />
Attendance<br />
Each student is expected to attend all classes and cooperative<br />
education/clinical placements as scheduled. Each College faculty<br />
member is expected to take attendance at every class section,<br />
in accordance with a resolution of the College Board of<br />
Trustees. Attendance in cooperative education and clinical<br />
placements is reported by the Cooperative Education/Clinical<br />
Coordinator based on reports from the student’s site coordinator.<br />
Individual faculty members may establish course policies that<br />
consider attendance as a factor in determining course grades.<br />
Each student should check with his or her instructors to determine<br />
how attendance will be taken and in what ways, if any,<br />
attendance is a factor in grading.<br />
A student who enrolls in a course but does not attend any<br />
classes during the first two weeks will be designated by the<br />
instructor as a No Show (NS).<br />
Additional policies related to attendance appear in the next<br />
section under point 6, “Non Attendance.”<br />
Adding, Dropping or Withdrawing<br />

The College Term Bulletin lists the dates when students may<br />
add, drop or withdraw from a course after completing their initial<br />

will a Withdrawal be permitted after the 35th instructional<br />
day. All official withdrawals must be approved<br />
by the instructor of the course and the division dean.<br />
In cases not approved, the student will receive the<br />
grade assigned by the instructor.<br />
4. Course Drop/Withdrawal Grading Policy<br />
a. Through the fourteenth calendar day of each term,<br />
courses officially dropped in the Office of the<br />
Registrar will not appear on students’ transcripts.<br />
b. During the Withdrawal Period, official withdrawals<br />

appear on the student’s transcript, however will not<br />
be calculated into the grade point average.<br />
33
c. The instructor may not issue a “W” as the final grade.<br />
A “W” is assigned only if the student has completed<br />
the withdrawal process in the Office of the Registrar.<br />
5. Flexibly Scheduled Courses-the following policies and procedures<br />
pertain to Flexibly Scheduled Course Sections only:<br />
a. Course sections with a beginning and/or ending date<br />

course section after a No Show (NS) has been issued<br />
by the instructor or self-reported by the student for<br />
that course section.<br />
f. The designation of No Show (NS) will not appear on<br />
the student’s transcript.<br />
g. A student who receives a No Show (NS) designation<br />
for a course is still financially responsible for payment<br />
for the course. Federal Financial Aid is not<br />
applicable to a course for which a student has<br />
received a No Show (NS) designation.<br />
A student is not permitted to withdraw from a course he or she<br />
did not attend or to which a No Show (NS) has been assigned.<br />

Children on Campus<br />
<strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> Technical and Community College strives to<br />
maintain an environment conducive to teaching and learning.<br />
Therefore, whenever children are brought to the campus they<br />
must remain with their parents, guardians, or caretakers in all<br />
areas of the College. Whether or not a child can be brought<br />
into a classroom will be at the discretion of each instructor.<br />
If the College's campus security officers find any child left<br />
unattended, they will locate the parent/caretaker so that the<br />
child can be cared for properly. Above all else, the College<br />
wishes to insure the safety and well being of each child.<br />

<strong>State</strong> of Ohio Policy for<br />
Institutional Transfer<br />
Note: The following information is a policy of the Ohio<br />
Board of Regents.<br />
The Ohio Board of Regents, following the directive of the<br />
Ohio General Assembly, developed a statewide policy to facilitate<br />
students’ ability to transfer credits from one Ohio public<br />
college or university to another in order to avoid duplication of<br />
course requirements. Since independent colleges and universities<br />
in Ohio may or may not be participating in the transfer<br />
policy, students interested in transferring to independent institutions<br />
are encouraged to check with the college or university<br />
of their choice regarding transfer agreements.<br />
The Ohio Board of Regents’ Transfer and Articulation Policy<br />
established the Transfer Module, which is a subset or entire set<br />
of a college or university’s general education program.<br />
Transfer Module contains 54 to 60 quarter hours (or 36-40<br />
semester hours) of course credits in the following areas:<br />
English, Mathematics, Arts and Humanities, Social and<br />
Behavioral Sciences, Natural and Physical Sciences, and<br />
Interdisciplinary Study.<br />
A Transfer Module completed at one college or university will<br />
automatically meet the requirements of the Transfer Module at<br />
another college or university once the student is admitted.<br />
Students may be required, however, to meet additional general<br />
education requirements at the institution to which they<br />
transfer. For example, a student who completes the Transfer<br />
Module at Institution S (sending institution) and then transfers<br />
to Institution R (receiving institution) is said to have completed<br />
the Transfer Module portion of Institution R’s general education<br />
program. Institution R, however, may require additional general<br />
education courses beyond the Transfer Module.<br />
Since many degree programs require specific courses that<br />
may be taken as a part of the general education or Transfer<br />
Module program at an institution, students are encouraged to<br />
meet with an academic advisor at the institution to which they<br />
plan to transfer early in their academic career. For example,<br />
students who will be majoring in any of the majors in the<br />
College of Business and Administration at the receiving institution<br />
should take Economics 201, 202, and 2<strong>03</strong> (or equivalent<br />
course at another institution) rather than the Economics 200<br />
course listed as a part of the Transfer Module. Because of specific<br />
major requirements such as these, early identification of a<br />
student’s intended major is encouraged. Advisors at the institution<br />
to which a student wishes to transfer should be consulted<br />
regarding Transfer Module and general education courses<br />
and any specific program requirements that can be completed<br />
before transfer.<br />
Conditions for Transfer Admission<br />
1. The policy encourages receiving institutions to give preferential<br />
consideration for admission to students who complete<br />
the Associate of Arts or Associate of Science degree<br />
with a cumulative grade point of 2.0 or better for all previous<br />
college level courses.<br />
2. The policy also encourages receiving institutions to give<br />
preferential treatment to students who have not earned an<br />
Associate of Arts or Associate of Science degree but have<br />
earned 60 semester hours or 90 quarter hours with a<br />
cumulative grade point of 2.0 or better for all previous<br />
college level courses.<br />
3. The policy further encourages that students who have not<br />
earned an Associate of Arts or Associate of Science degree<br />
or who have not earned 60 semester hours or 90 quarter<br />
hours with a cumulative grade point of 2.0 or better for all<br />
previous college level courses are eligible for admission<br />
as transfer students on a competitive basis.<br />
Acceptance of Transfer Credit<br />
1. Students who have completed the Associate of Arts or<br />
Associate of Science degree with a cumulative grade<br />
point of 2.0 or better will receive transfer credit for all college<br />
level courses in which a grade of “D” or better has<br />
been earned.<br />
2. Students who have not earned an Associate of Arts or<br />
Associate of Science degree will receive transfer credit for<br />
all college level courses in which a grade of “C” or better<br />
has been earned.<br />
Admission to a given institution, however, does not guarantee<br />
that a transfer student will be automatically admitted to all<br />
majors, minors, or fields of concentration at the institution.<br />
Once admitted, transfer students shall be subject to the same<br />
regulations governing applicability of catalog requirements as<br />
all other students. Furthermore, transfer students shall be<br />
36
accorded the same class standing and other privileges as all<br />
other students on the basis of the number of credits earned. All<br />
residency requirements must be successfully completed at the<br />
receiving institution prior to the granting of a degree.<br />
Responsibilities of Students<br />
In order to facilitate transfer with maximum applicability of<br />
transfer credit, prospective transfer students should plan a<br />
course of study that will meet the requirements of a degree program<br />
at the receiving institution. Specifically, students should<br />
identify early in their collegiate studies an institution and major<br />
to which they desire to transfer. Furthermore, students should<br />
determine if there are language requirements or any special<br />
course requirements that can be met during the freshman or<br />
sophomore year. This will enable students to plan and pursue<br />
a course of study that will articulate with the receiving institution’s<br />
major. Students are encouraged to seek further information<br />
regarding transfer from both their advisor and the college<br />
or university to which they plan to transfer.<br />
<strong>State</strong> of Ohio Appeals Process<br />
A student disagreeing with the application of transfer credit<br />
by the receiving institution shall be informed of the right to<br />
appeal the decision and of the process for filing the appeal.<br />
Each institution shall make available to students the appeal<br />
process for that specific college or university.<br />
If a transfer student’s appeal is denied by the institution after<br />
all appeal levels within the institution have been exhausted,<br />
the institution shall advise the student in writing of the availability<br />
and process of appeal to the state-level Articulation and<br />
Transfer Appeals Review Committee.<br />
The Appeals Review Committee shall review and recommend<br />
to institutions the resolution of individual cases of appeal<br />
from transfer students who have exhausted all local appeal<br />
mechanisms concerning applicability of transfer credits at<br />
receiving institutions.<br />
<strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> Transfer Module<br />
Appeal Process<br />
Should a student transferring into <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> be dissatisfied<br />
with the credit awarded as part of the transfer module program<br />
of the <strong>State</strong> of Ohio, an internal appeal process and an<br />
external appeal process are both available.<br />
The internal appeal process must be utilized first. At<br />
<strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong>, the internal appeal process for a student dissatisfied<br />
with credit awarded as part of the transfer module program<br />
is the College Academic Appeals Procedure, described<br />
previously in this section of the <strong>Catalog</strong>.<br />
The external appeal process may be utilized only after the<br />
internal appeal process has been completed and the student<br />
remains dissatisfied with the institution’s judgement. The<br />
external appeal will be conducted by the <strong>State</strong>wide Appeals<br />
Review Committee. More information on this process is available<br />
from the Ohio Board of Regents in Columbus, Ohio.<br />
Graduation<br />

Students seeking an AAB, AAS, AIS, or ATS degree should<br />
consult the curriculum for their program, published elsewhere<br />
in this <strong>Catalog</strong>, to determine how the general education<br />
requirements should be met. Individual degree programs may<br />
require students to complete program-specified general education<br />
courses, or may permit students to choose some general<br />
education elective courses. Transfer credit for Social Sciences<br />
or Humanities courses completed at another institution, in disciplines<br />
not listed above, may be applied toward <strong>Cincinnati</strong><br />
<strong>State</strong> graduation requirements, with the program chair’s permission.<br />
Students seeking the Associate of Arts or Associate of Science<br />
degree must meet the general education requirements<br />
described on pages 62-64.<br />
College Orientation Requirement<br />
All <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> students who are enrolled in a degree<br />
program are required to complete the college orientation<br />
course CAR 9002, College Success Strategies. This requirement<br />
applies to all degree-seeking students who enrolled in the<br />
College during or after Early Fall 2001.<br />
Some certificate programs also require students to complete<br />
CAR 9002. Each certificate program that requires completion<br />
37

already successfully completed 18 or more credits of collegelevel<br />
courses and has received <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> transfer credit<br />
for these courses is not required to complete CAR 9002.<br />
The course CAR 9002 introduces students to the college<br />
experience and to <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong>’s expectations and<br />
resources for new students. This course earns college credit,<br />
but it does not fulfill general studies or core course requirements<br />

credit hours at <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong>. Credit hours<br />
earned in courses which combine class and lab hours will be<br />
considered “non-clinical” credit hours for the purpose of the<br />
residency requirement.<br />
Students seeking an Associate of Applied Business or<br />
Associate of Applied Science degree must earn a minimum of<br />
fifty-percent of college-level, non-co-op-/non-clinical technical<br />
coursework (as identified in the Associate Degree Program<br />
Summary) required for their program at <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong>. The<br />
resident credit hours required for the degree program are applicable<br />
to the College Residency Requirement.<br />
Students seeking a certificate at <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> Technical<br />
and Community College must complete a minimum of fiftypercent<br />
of their certificate program requirements at <strong>Cincinnati</strong><br />
<strong>State</strong>.<br />
Advanced Standing Credit is not applicable to the College<br />
Residency Requirement. Credit earned at <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong><br />
through the Greater <strong>Cincinnati</strong> Consortium of Colleges and<br />
Universities is applicable to the College Residency<br />
Requirement.<br />
In Associate of Technical Study and Associate of<br />
Individualized Study programs, the residency requirement<br />
shall be no less than 30 credits at <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong>.<br />
Students who transfer to <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> from another<br />
accredited Ohio college or university with a completed<br />
Transfer Module are subject to the guidelines in the "<strong>State</strong> of<br />

Academic Integrity<br />
Policy of <strong>Cincinnati</strong><br />
<strong>State</strong> Technical and<br />
Community College<br />
Ethical conduct is the obligation of every member of the<br />
<strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> Technical and Community College community.<br />
Violations of academic integrity constitute serious breaches<br />
of ethical behavior. Academic integrity requires that all academic<br />
work be wholly the product of an identified individual.<br />
Violations of Academic Integrity<br />
The following acts of misconduct are subject to disciplinary<br />
actions as described in Article III, section (2)(a) of the<br />
<strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> Technical and Community College Student<br />
Code of Conduct.<br />
A. Cheating: Cheating includes, but is not limited to:<br />
1. Use of any unauthorized assistance in taking quizzes,<br />
tests, or examinations, or completing assignments.<br />
2. Dependence upon the aid of sources beyond those<br />
authorized by the instructor in writing papers, preparing<br />
reports, solving problems, or completing assignments.<br />
3. The acquisition, without permission, of tests or other<br />
academic materials belonging to a member of the College<br />
faculty or staff.<br />
4. Copying computer files, text, or images of other students<br />
or downloading information from the Internet and<br />
representing this work as one’s own.<br />
B. Fabrication: The falsification or invention of any information<br />
or citation in an academic exercise. “Invented” information<br />
may not be used in any laboratory experiment or other<br />
academic exercise without authorization from the instructor.<br />
For example, it is improper to analyze one sample in an experiment<br />
and covertly “invent” data based on that single experiment<br />
for several more required analyses.<br />
C. Facilitating Academic Dishonesty: Knowingly or negligently<br />
allowing one’s own work to be used by other students<br />
or otherwise aiding in academic dishonesty.<br />
D. Plagiarism: The representation of the words or ideas of<br />
another as one’s own in any academic exercise. To avoid plagiarism,<br />
every direct quotation must be identified by quotation<br />
marks or by appropriate indentation and must be properly<br />
cited in the text or in a footnote. Acknowledgement is required<br />
when material from another source is paraphrased or summarized<br />
in whole or in part in one’s own work. The correct form<br />
for documenting direct quotations and for acknowledging paraphrased<br />
material may be found in numerous writing manuals<br />
or handbooks. The faculty in English at <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong><br />
Technical and Community College endorse the MLA style.<br />
However, some instructors may require other types of documentation.<br />
Students should refer to the instructor’s syllabus for<br />
guidance on the proper style.<br />
E. Denying Others Access to Information or Material: Denying<br />
others access to scholarly resources or deliberately impeding<br />
the progress of another student. Examples of offenses of this<br />
type include giving other students false or misleading information,<br />
making library material unavailable to others by stealing<br />
or defacing books or journals, or by deliberately misplacing or<br />
39<br />
destroying reserved materials, stealing another’s paper or project,<br />
or altering computer files that belong to another.<br />
Academic Integrity Violations Procedure<br />
A. If an instructor has reason to believe a violation of academic<br />
integrity has occurred, the procedure will start in the<br />
classroom as outlined by the instructor’s syllabus. Penalties<br />
imposed by the instructor are limited to those actions whose<br />
ramifications fall within the confines of the class, i.e., failure of<br />
the assignment or failure of the course. Only the Academic<br />
Vice President can impose suspension or dismissal from the<br />
College. The instructor has the option of filing a report of the<br />
incident with the Academic Vice President for documentation<br />
purposes.<br />
B. The instructor may proceed with a formal charge of<br />
Academic Dishonesty and recommended sanctions to the<br />
Academic Vice President (AVP). The AVP may administer the<br />
disciplinary action recommended by the faculty member or a<br />
penalty deemed more appropriate. If the student accepts the<br />
charge, the AVP will assign sanctions, and the case will be<br />
closed. If the student challenges the finding of the AVP and<br />
maintains his/her innocence, the case will move forward to an<br />
Academic Integrity Panel. The student must submit the challenge<br />
to the AVP within 5 working days of the AVP’s notification<br />
of sanctions.<br />
C. The Academic Integrity Panel consists of:<br />
• 2 students appointed by the Student Senate<br />
• 2 faculty members appointed by the Faculty Senate<br />
• 1 Dean appointed by the Academic Vice President<br />
The case will be heard within 10 working days of receipt of<br />
the student’s written challenge.<br />
D. The student accused of Academic Dishonesty may be<br />
accompanied at the Academic Integrity hearing by a person or<br />
persons of his/her choice, not to exceed 3 individuals. The role<br />
of the persons accompanying the student is limited to providing<br />
support to the student. Individuals accompanying the student<br />
may not present information or answer questions in place<br />
of the student.<br />
1. Both the Academic Integrity Panel and the student may<br />
call witnesses for the hearing.<br />
2. All hearings will be closed.<br />
E. The decision of the Academic Integrity Panel regarding the<br />
guilt of the student is reached by majority vote in a session of<br />
Panel members only. The decision of the Panel is communicated<br />
in writing to the Academic Vice President, along with<br />
recommended sanctions, within 10 working days of the final<br />
day of panel hearings. The findings of the Academic Integrity<br />
Panel and penalty administered by the Academic Vice<br />
President are final.<br />
Penalties<br />
Possible sanctions are described in Article IV, section (D)(2)<br />
of the <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> Technical and Community College<br />
Student Code of Conduct. They include:<br />
A. Warning<br />
B. Probation<br />
C. Loss of Privileges<br />
D. Fines<br />
E. Restitution<br />
F. Discretionary Sanctions<br />
G. College Suspension<br />
H. College Expulsion
In each case of Academic Dishonesty that is brought forward<br />
to the office of Academic Affairs, the Academic Vice President<br />
or the Academic Integrity Panel determines the disciplinary<br />
action to be taken. The Academic Vice President administers<br />
the disciplinary action.<br />

of federal, state, or local laws, but not with any other violation<br />
of this code, disciplinary action may be taken by the college<br />
and sanctions imposed for grave misconduct which demonstrates<br />
flagrant disregard for the college community. In such<br />
cases, no sanction may be imposed unless the student has been<br />
found guilty in a court of law or has declined to contest such<br />
charges, although not actually admitting guilt (e.g., “no contest”<br />
or “nolo contendere”).<br />
(b) <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> Technical and Community College disciplinary<br />
proceedings may be instituted against a student<br />
charged with violation of a law which is also a violation of this<br />
student code, for example, if both violations result from the<br />
same factual situation, without regard to the pendency of civil<br />
litigation in court or criminal arrest and prosecution.<br />
Proceedings under this student code may be carried out prior<br />
to, simultaneously with, or following civil or criminal proceedings<br />
off-campus.<br />
(c) When a student is charged by federal, state, or local<br />
authorities with a violation of law, the college will not request<br />
or agree to special consideration for that individual because of<br />
his or her status as a student. If the alleged offense is also the<br />
subject of a proceeding before a judicial body under the student<br />
code, however, the college may advise off-campus<br />
authorities of the existence of the student code and of how<br />
such matters will be handled internally within the college community.<br />
The college will cooperate fully with law enforcement<br />
and other agencies in the enforcement of criminal law on campus<br />
and in the conditions imposed by criminal courts for the<br />
rehabilitation of student violators. Individual students and faculty<br />
members, acting in their personal capacities, remain free<br />
to interact with government representatives as they deem<br />
appropriate.<br />
D. ARTICLE IV: JUDICIAL POLICIES<br />
(1) CHARGES AND HEARING<br />
a. Any member of the college community may file charges<br />
against any student for misconduct. Charges shall be prepared<br />
41
in writing and directed to the judicial advisor, or the administrative<br />
designee, responsible for the administration of the college<br />
judicial system. Any charge should be submitted as soon<br />
as possible after the event takes place, preferably within (twenty-four<br />
hours).<br />
In the event of an incident that is life threatening or that poses<br />
serious injury, campus safety/security will operate as the judicial<br />
advisor designee. The judicial advisor or the administrative<br />
designee will be notified, as soon as possible, not later<br />
than twenty-four hours after the incident.<br />
b. The judicial advisor, or the administrative designee, may<br />
conduct an investigation to determine if the charges have merit<br />
and/or if they can be disposed of administratively by mutual<br />
consent of the parties involved on a basis acceptable to the judicial<br />
advisor. Such disposition shall be final and there shall be<br />
no subsequent proceedings. If the charges cannot be disposed<br />
of by mutual consent, the judicial advisor may later serve in the<br />
same matter as the judicial body or a member thereof.<br />
c. All charges shall be presented to the accused student in<br />
written form. A time shall be set for a hearing, not less than five<br />
nor more than fifteen calendar days after the student has been<br />
notified. Maximum time limited for scheduling of hearings<br />
may be extended at the discretion of the judicial advisor.<br />
d. Hearings shall be conducted by a judicial body according<br />
to the following guidelines:<br />
(i) Hearings normally shall be conducted in private.<br />
At the request of the accused student, and subject to the discretion<br />
of the judicial advisor, a representative of the student<br />
press may be admitted, but shall not have the privilege of participating<br />
in the hearing.<br />
(ii) Admission of any person to the hearing shall be<br />
at the discretion of the judicial body and/or its judicial advisor.<br />
(iii) In hearings involving more than one accused<br />
student, the judicial advisor of the judicial body, in his/her discretion,<br />
may permit the hearings concerning each student to be<br />
conducted separately.<br />
(iv) The complainant and the accused have the right<br />
to be assisted by any advisor they choose, at their own<br />
expense. The advisor may be an attorney. The complainant<br />
and/or the accused is responsible for presenting his or her case<br />
and, therefore, advisors are not permitted to speak or to participate<br />
directly in any hearing before a judicial body.<br />
(v) The complainant, the accused and the judicial<br />
body shall have the privilege of presenting witnesses, subject<br />
to the right of cross examination by the judicial body.<br />
(vi) Pertinent records, exhibits and written statements<br />
may be accepted as evidence for consideration by a<br />
judicial body at the discretion of the judicial advisor.<br />
(vii) All procedural questions are subject to the final<br />
decision of the judicial advisor of the judicial body.<br />
(viii) After the hearing, the judicial body shall determine<br />
(by majority vote if the judicial body consists of more<br />
than one person) whether the student has violated each section<br />
of the student code which the student is charged with violating.<br />
(ix) The judicial body’s determination shall be made<br />
on the basis of whether it is more likely than not that the<br />
accused student violated the student code.<br />
e. There shall be a single verbatim record, such as a tape<br />
recording of all hearings before a judicial body. The record<br />
shall be the property of the college.<br />
f. Except in the case of a student charged with failing to obey<br />
the summons of a judicial body or college official, no student<br />
may be found to have violated the student code solely because<br />
the student failed to appear before a judicial body. In all cases,<br />
the evidence in support of the charges shall be presented and<br />
considered.<br />
(2) SANCTIONS<br />
a. The following sanctions may be imposed upon any student<br />
found to have violated the student code.<br />
(i) WARNING - a notice in writing to the student that<br />
the student is violating or has violated institutional regulations.<br />
(ii) PROBATION - a written reprimand for violation<br />
of specified regulations. Probation is for a designated period of<br />
time and includes the probability of more severe disciplinary<br />
sanctions if the student is found to be violating any institutional<br />
regulation(s) during the probationary period.<br />
(iii) LOSS OF PRIVILEGES - denial of specified privileges<br />
for a designated period of time.<br />
(iv) FINES - previously established and published<br />

from the college for a definite period of time, after which<br />
the student is eligible to return. Conditions for re-admission<br />
may be specified.<br />
(viii) COLLEGE EXPULSION - permanent separation<br />
of the student from the college.<br />
b. More than one of the sanctions listed above may be<br />
imposed for any single violation.<br />
c. Other than college expulsion, disciplinary sanctions shall<br />
not be made part of the student’s permanent academic record,<br />
but shall become part of the student’s confidential record.<br />
Upon graduation, the student’s confidential record may be<br />
expunged of disciplinary actions other than, college suspension<br />
or college expulsion, upon application to the judicial<br />
advisor. Cases involving the imposition of sanctions other than<br />
college suspension or college expulsion shall be expunged<br />
from the student’s confidential record three years after final disposition<br />
of the case.<br />
d. The following sanctions may be imposed upon groups or<br />
organizations:<br />
a. those sanctions listed above in paragraphs<br />
(c)(2)(a)(i) to (c)(2)(a)(viii).<br />
b. deactivation-loss of all privileges, including college<br />
recognition, for a specified period of time.<br />
e. In each case in which a judicial body determines that a<br />
student has violated the student code, the sanction(s) shall be<br />
determined and imposed by the judicial advisor. In cases in<br />
which persons other than or in addition to the judicial advisor<br />
have been authorized to serve as the judicial body, the recommendation<br />
of all members of the judicial body shall be considered<br />
by the judicial advisor in determining and imposing<br />
sanctions. The judicial advisor is not limited to sanctions recommended<br />
by members of the judicial body. Following the<br />
hearing, the judicial body and the judicial advisor shall advise<br />
the accused in writing of its determination and of the sanction(s)<br />
imposed, if any.<br />
(3) INTERIM SUSPENSION<br />
In certain circumstances, the chief student services officer or<br />
designee, may impose a college suspension prior to the hear-<br />
42
ing before a judicial body:<br />
(i) Interim suspension may be imposed only: a) to<br />
ensure the safety and well being of members of the college<br />
property; b) to ensure the student’s own physical or emotional<br />
safety and well being; or c) if the student poses a definite threat<br />
of disruption of or interference with the normal operations of<br />
the college.<br />
(ii) A standing appellate board will be formed at the<br />
direction of the chief student services officer who will ensure<br />
that it is fairly composed of representatives of the student body,<br />
staff, faculty and administration of <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> Technical<br />
and Community College.<br />
(iii) During the interim suspension, students shall be<br />
denied access to the campus (including classes) and/or all<br />
other college activities or privileges for which the student<br />
might otherwise be eligible, as the chief student services officer<br />
or the judicial advisor may determine to be appropriate .<br />
(4) APPEALS<br />
a. A decision reached by the judicial body or a sanction<br />
imposed by the judicial advisor may be appealed by accused<br />
students or complainants to an appellate board within five<br />
school days of the decision. Such appeals shall be in writing<br />
and shall be delivered to the chief student services officer, judicial<br />
advisor or his/her designee. The appellate board shall be<br />
composed of seven members, four chosen by the chief student<br />
services officer, and three chosen by the accused student or<br />
complainant. All shall be members of the college community.<br />
b. Except as required to explain the basis of new evidence,<br />
an appeal shall be limited to review of the verbatim records of<br />
the initial hearing and supporting documents for one or more<br />
of the following purposes:<br />
(i) To determine whether the original hearing was<br />
conducted fairly in light of the charges and evidences presented,<br />
and in conformity with prescribed procedures, giving the<br />
complaining party a reasonable opportunity to prepare and<br />
present evidence that the student code was violated, and giving<br />
the accused student a reasonable opportunity to prepare<br />
and to present a rebuttal of those allegations.<br />
(ii) To determine whether the decision reached<br />
regarding the accused student was based on substantial evidence,<br />
that is, whether the facts in the case were sufficient to<br />
establish that a violation of the student code occurred.<br />
(iii) To determine whether the sanction(s) imposed<br />
were appropriate for the violation of the student code which<br />
the student was found to have committed.<br />
(iv) To consider new evidence, sufficient to alter a<br />
decision, or other relevant facts not brought out in the original<br />
hearing, because such evidence and/or facts were not known<br />
to the person appealing at the time of the original hearing.<br />
c. If an appeal is upheld by the appellate board, the matter<br />
shall be remanded to the original judicial body and judicial<br />
advisor for re-opening of the hearing to allow reconsideration<br />
of the original determination and/or sanction(s).<br />
d. In cases involving appeals by students accused of violating<br />
the student code, review of the sanction by the appellate<br />
board may not result in more severe sanction(s) for the accused<br />
student. Instead, following an appeal, the chief student services<br />
officer may, upon review of the case, reduce, but not<br />
increase, the sanctions, imposed by the judicial advisor.<br />
e. In cases involving appeals by persons other than students<br />
accused of violating the student code, the chief student services<br />
officer may, upon review of the case, reduce or increase the<br />
sanctions imposed by the judicial advisor or remand the case<br />
43<br />
to the original judicial body and judicial advisor.<br />
E. ARTICLE V: INTERPRETATION AND REVIEW<br />
(1) Any question of interpretation regarding the student code<br />
shall be referred to the chief student services officer for final<br />
determination.<br />
(2) The student code will be reviewed every three years<br />
under the direction of the chief student services officer and/or<br />
judicial advisor.<br />

Appendix I<br />
Policy for Responsible Use of<br />
Information Technology and Resources<br />
at <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> Technical and<br />
Community College<br />
Introduction<br />
In support of its mission of teaching and community service,<br />
<strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> Technical and Community College provides<br />
access to information technology and resources for students,<br />
faculty and staff. This includes but is not limited to computers,<br />
computer terminals, peripheral computer hardware, software,<br />
networks, and the information that can be accessed using these<br />
tools. This policy contains the College’s philosophy and rules<br />
regulating the use of this technology and these resources. In<br />
addition, local, state, and federal laws relating to copyrights,<br />
security, and the electronic media govern the use of information<br />
technology and resources. It is the responsibility of students,<br />
faculty and staff to implement and comply with this policy<br />
and all other applicable regulations. This policy applies<br />
equally to College-owned or College-leased resources and<br />
technology.<br />
Policy<br />
All members of the College community who use the College’s<br />
information technology and communication resources must<br />
act responsibly. Users are responsible for the resources under<br />
their control. All users of College-owned or College-leased<br />
information technology must respect the rights of other users,<br />
respect the integrity of the physical facilities, and comply with<br />
all applicable laws, licenses, and contracts. It is the policy of<br />
<strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> Technical and Community College that all<br />
members of its community act in accordance with this policy<br />
and maintain the highest standard of ethics when dealing with<br />
information technology and resources.<br />
Access to the College’s information technology and resources<br />
is a privilege granted to College students, faculty, and staff. The<br />
College reserves the right to extend, limit, restrict, or deny this<br />
privilege. The College may also permit individuals other than<br />
College faculty access, so long as such access does not violate<br />
any license or contractual agreement, College policy, or federal,<br />
state, county, or local law.<br />
College information technology and resources are to be used<br />
only for the activities or purposes for which they are assigned.<br />
They are not to be used for commercial purposes without written<br />
authorization from the College. In such cases, the College<br />
may require payment of appropriate fees. Users and system<br />
administrators must guard against abuses that disrupt or threaten<br />
the stability of information systems, including not only those<br />
at the College but also those on networks to which the
College’s systems are connected. Use of the College’s information<br />
technology and resources may be monitored by appropriate<br />
administrative personnel of the College.<br />
Information technology provides important means of communication,<br />
both public and private. Users and system administrators<br />
must respect the privacy of person-to-person communication<br />
in all forms, including voice (telephone), text (electronic<br />
mail and file transfer), and image (graphics and television).<br />
The principle of freedom of speech will apply to public<br />
communications in all these forms.<br />
Standards of Conduct<br />
The College demands a high standard of conduct for all students,<br />
faculty and staff in the use of, and access to the College’s<br />
information technology and resources. Anyone whose conduct<br />
misuses the College’s information technology and resources is<br />
subject to College disciplinary action. This conduct includes,<br />
but is not limited to the following:<br />

or downloading pornographic information, or allowing<br />
access to them by unauthorized persons, even if they are members<br />
of the College community;<br />
6. using any portion of College computing, network facilities<br />
and information resources to:<br />
a. copy privately-owned or licensed software or data without<br />
prior written approval;<br />
b. modify privately owned or licensed software or data<br />
without prior written approval;<br />
c. attempting to damage or to disrupt the operation of computing<br />
equipment, communications equipment, or communications<br />
lines,<br />
7. invading the privacy of an individual by using electronic<br />
means to ascertain confidential information. even if an individual<br />
or department inadvertently allows access to information;<br />
8. copying another user’s software or data without the permission<br />
of the owner. even if it is readily accessible by electronic<br />
means;<br />
9. knowingly accepting or using software or data which has<br />
been obtained by illegal means;<br />
10. abusing or harassing another user through electronic<br />
means;<br />

Enforcement<br />
Alleged violations of this policy shall be dealt with in accordance<br />
with the procedures in the <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> Technical<br />
and Community College personnel policies described in the<br />
Employee Handbook, Administrator’s Manual, College collective<br />
bargaining agreements, and the Student Code of Conduct.<br />
The College treats violations of this policy seriously and will<br />
pursue criminal and civil prosecution where appropriate.<br />
Effective March 1, 1996.<br />
Information Technology<br />
Services (ITS) Policy on<br />
Responsible Use of<br />
Computing Resources<br />
General <strong>State</strong>ment About Responsible Use of<br />
Computing Resources<br />
<strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> Technical and Community College acquires,<br />
develops, and maintains computers, computer systems, and<br />
networks. These computing resources are intended for collegerelated<br />
use, including direct and indirect support of the<br />
College’s instruction, research, and service missions; of<br />
College administrative functions; of student and campus life<br />
activities; and of the free exchange of ideas.<br />
The rights of free expression and academic freedom apply to<br />
the use of College computing resources. So, too, however, do<br />
the responsibilities and limits associated with those rights. All<br />
who use the College’s computing resources must act responsibly,<br />
in accordance with the highest standard of ethical and<br />
legal behavior. Thus, legitimate use of computing resources<br />
does not extend to whatever is technically possible. Users must<br />
abide by all applicable restrictions, whether or not they are<br />
built into the operating system or network and whether or not<br />
they can be circumvented by technical means.<br />
This policy applies to all users of College computing<br />
resources, whether affiliated with the College or not, and to all<br />
users of those resources, whether on campus or from remote<br />
locations. Additional policies may apply to specific computers,<br />
computer systems or networks provided or operated by specific<br />
units of the College or to uses within specific units.<br />
Policy Regarding Responsible Use of<br />
Computing Resources<br />
All College computing resource users must:<br />
1. Comply with all federal, Ohio and other applicable law;<br />
all generally applicable College rules and policies; and all<br />
applicable contracts and licenses. Examples of such laws,<br />
rules, polices, contracts, and licenses include: the laws of libel,<br />
privacy, copyright, trademark, obscenity, and child pornography;<br />
the Electronic Communications Privacy Act and the<br />
Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, which prohibit "hacking",<br />
"cracking", and similar activities; the College’s code of student<br />
conduct; the <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> Technical and Community<br />
College Administrators’ Manual, Faculty Handbook, the<br />
College’s sexual harassment policy; and all applicable software<br />
licenses. In particular, users must:<br />
A. Respect the right of others to be free from harassment or<br />
intimidation to the same extent that this right is recognized in<br />
the use of other communication; and<br />
44
B. Respect copyrights, intellectual-property rights, ownership<br />
of files and passwords. Unauthorized copying of files or passwords<br />
belonging to others or to the College may constitute plagiarism<br />
or theft. Accessing or modifying files without authorization<br />
(including altering information, introducing viruses or<br />
Trojan horses, or damaging files) is unethical, may be illegal,<br />
and may lead to sanctions.<br />
Users who engage in electronic communications with persons<br />
in other states or countries or on other systems or networks<br />
should be aware that they may also be subject to the<br />
laws of those other states and countries and the rules and policies<br />
of those other systems and networks. Users are responsible<br />
for ascertaining, understanding, and complying with the<br />
laws, rules, policies, contracts, and licenses applicable to their<br />
particular uses.<br />
<strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> extends these policies and guidelines to systems<br />
outside the College that are accessed via the College’s<br />
facilities (e.g., electronic mail or remote logins using the<br />
College's Internet connections).<br />
2. Use only those computing resources that they are authorized<br />
to use and use them only in the manner and to the extent<br />
authorized. Ability to access computing resources does not, by<br />
itself, imply authorization to do so. Users are responsible for<br />
ascertaining what authorizations are necessary and for obtaining<br />
them before proceeding. Accounts, passwords, and other<br />
authentication mechanisms, may not, under any circumstances,<br />
be shared with, or used by, persons other than those to<br />
whom they have been assigned by the College.<br />
3. Respect the finite capacity of those resources and limit use<br />
so as not to consume an unreasonable amount of those<br />
resources or to interfere unreasonably with the activity of other<br />
users. Although there is no set bandwidth, disk space, CPU time,<br />
or other limit applicable to all uses of College computing<br />
resources, the College may require users of those resources to<br />
limit or refrain from specific uses in accordance with this principle.<br />
The reasonableness of any particular use will be judged in<br />
the context of all of the relevant circumstances.<br />
4. Limit the personal use of College computing resources and<br />
refrain from using those resources for personal commercial<br />
purposes or for personal financial or other gain. Personal use of<br />
College computing resources is permitted on a limited basis<br />
when it does not interfere with the performance of the user's job<br />
or other College responsibilities, and is otherwise in compliance<br />
with this and other College policy. This usage does not include<br />
links to personal web pages. This usage is subject to monitoring<br />
by the ITS staff. Further limits may be imposed upon personal use<br />
in accordance with normal supervisory procedures.<br />
5. Refrain from stating or implying that they speak on behalf<br />
of the College and from using college trademarks and logos<br />
without authorization to do so. Affiliation with the College<br />
does not, by itself, imply authorization to speak on behalf of the<br />
College. Authorization to use College trademarks and logos<br />
may be granted only by <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong>. The use of appropriate<br />
disclaimers is encouraged. Personal web pages linked to the<br />
College Web should disclaim association with <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong>.<br />
Enforcement of the Policy<br />
Regarding Responsible Use<br />
Whenever it becomes necessary to enforce College rules or<br />
policies, an authorized administrator may: disallow network<br />
connections by certain computers (even departmental and personal<br />
ones); require adequate identification of computers and<br />
users on the network; undertake audits of software or information<br />
on shared systems where policy violations are possible;<br />
take steps to secure compromised computers that are connected<br />
to the network; or deny access to computers, the network,<br />
and institutional software and databases.<br />
Sanctions Regarding Misuse<br />
of Computing Resources<br />
Users who violate this policy may be denied access to<br />
College computing resources and may be subject to other<br />
penalties and disciplinary action, both within and outside of<br />
the College. Violations will normally be handled through the<br />
College disciplinary procedures applicable to the relevant user.<br />
Alleged violations by students will normally be investigated,<br />
and the Student Development Services Office will normally<br />
impose any penalties or other discipline.<br />
However, the College, through its information managers, may<br />
suspend or block access to an account prior to the initiation or<br />
completion of such procedures; when it reasonably appears<br />
necessary to do so, and in order to protect the integrity, security,<br />
or functionality of College or other computing resources; or<br />
to protect the College from liability.<br />
The College may also refer suspected violations of applicable<br />
law to appropriate law enforcement agencies.<br />
Privacy and Security Issues Regarding<br />
Responsible Use of Computing Resources<br />
The College employs various measures to protect the security<br />
of its computing resources and users accounts. However,<br />
users should be aware that the College does not and cannot<br />
guarantee such security.<br />
Users should also be aware that their uses of College computing<br />
resources are not private. While the College does not<br />
routinely monitor individual usage of its computing resources,<br />
the normal operation and maintenance of College computing<br />
resources requires the backup and caching of data and communications,<br />
the logging of activity, the monitoring of general<br />
usage patterns, and other such activities that are necessary for<br />
the rendition of service. Systems or technical managers, as part<br />
of their technical responsibility, may occasionally need to diagnose<br />
or solve problems by examining the contents of particular<br />
files.<br />
The College may also monitor the activity and accounts of<br />
individual users of College computing resources, including<br />
individual sessions and communications, without notice (a)<br />
when the user has voluntarily made them accessible to the<br />
public, as by posting to Usenet or a web site; (b) when it reasonably<br />
appears necessary to do so to protect the integrity,<br />
security, or functionality of College or other computing<br />
resources or to protect the College from liability; (c) when there<br />
is reasonable cause to believe that the user has violated, or is<br />
violating, this policy; (d) when an account or device appears to<br />
be engaged in unusual or unusually excessive activity, as indicated<br />
by the monitoring of general activity and usage patterns;<br />
or (e) when it is otherwise required or permitted by law.<br />
Any such individual monitoring, other than that specified in<br />
"(a)", or required by law, or necessary to respond to perceived<br />
emergency situations, must be authorized in advance by the<br />
Chief Information Officer (CIO) or a designee of same.<br />
The College, in its discretion, may disclose the results of any<br />
such general or individual monitoring, including the contents<br />
45
and records of individual communications, to appropriate<br />
College personnel or law enforcement agencies and may use<br />
those results in appropriate College disciplinary proceedings.<br />
Communications made by means of College computing<br />
resources are also generally subject to Ohio's Public Records<br />
Statute to the same extent as they would be if made on paper.<br />
The User's Responsibilities<br />
1. Be aware of the limits of computer security. Although the<br />
College employs various measures to protect the security of its<br />
computing resources and user accounts, users should be aware<br />
that the College cannot guarantee such security. Users should<br />
therefore engage in "safe computing" practices by establishing<br />
appropriate access restrictions for their accounts, guarding<br />
their passwords, and changing them regularly.<br />
2. Be responsible for backing up and protecting personal<br />
files. Although the College under certain circumstances may<br />
provide storage space and under certain circumstances that<br />
storage may be backed up, <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> assumes no<br />
responsibility for the loss or recovery of personal files.<br />
The College's Responsibilities<br />
The College owns various computers and all of the internal<br />
computer and wireless networks used on campus. The College<br />
also has various rights to the software and information residing<br />
on, developed on, or licensed for, these computers and networks.<br />
The College has the responsibility to administer, protect,<br />
and monitor this aggregation of computers, software, and<br />
networks. Specifically, purposes of the College's information<br />
technology management are to:<br />
1. Manage computing resources so that members of the<br />
College community benefit equitably from their use.<br />
2. Protect College computers, networks and information from<br />
destruction, tampering, and unauthorized inspection and use.<br />
3. Communicate College policies and the responsibilities of<br />
individuals systematically and regularly in a variety of formats<br />
to all parts of the College community.<br />
4. Establish and support reasonable standards of security for<br />
electronic information that community members produce, use,<br />
or distribute. Standards for security and access are elaborated<br />
in the document titled "<strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> Technical and<br />
Community College Computing Security Policy," as well as in<br />
documents derived from it.<br />
5. Establish and support reasonable standards of security for<br />
electronic information that community members produce, use,<br />
or distribute. Standards for security and access are elaborated<br />
in the document titled "<strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> Technical and<br />
Community College Computing Security Policy," as well as in<br />
documents derived from it.<br />
6. Monitor policies and propose changes in policy as events<br />
or technology warrant.<br />
Sexual Harassment Policy<br />
<strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> Technical and Community College affirms its<br />
commitment to ensuring an environment for all employees and<br />
students which is fair, humane and respectful—an environment<br />
which supports and rewards employee and student performance<br />
on the basis of relevant considerations such as ability and<br />
effort. Behaviors which inappropriately assert sexuality as relevant<br />
to employee or student performance are damaging to this<br />
environment.<br />
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1969 and Title IX of the<br />
Educational Amendments of 1972 as interpreted by Federal<br />
Regulation prohibit sexual harassment.<br />
Definition<br />
Sexual favors may not be required explicitly or implicitly as a<br />
term or condition of an individual’s employment or student status.<br />
The submission to or rejection of sexual favors may not be<br />
used as a basis for employment or educational decisions.<br />
Sexual conduct which has the purpose or effect of unnecessarily<br />
interfering with an individual’s work or student performance<br />
or creating an intimidating, hostile or offensive working or educational<br />
environment is prohibited.<br />
Such conduct may include:<br />
- verbal harassment or abuse<br />
- subtle pressure for sexual activity<br />
- sexist remarks about a woman’s or man’s clothing, body, or<br />
sexual activities<br />
- unnecessary touching, patting, or pinching<br />
- leering or ogling of a woman’s or man’s body<br />
- constant brushing against a woman’s or man’s body<br />
- demanding sexual favors accompanied by implied or overt<br />
threats concerning one’s job, grades, letters of recommendation,<br />
etc.<br />
- physical assault<br />
Substance Abuse Policy<br />
<strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> Technical and Community College prohibits<br />
the unlawful manufacture, possession, use or distribution of<br />
drugs on its property or as a part of its activities. <strong>Cincinnati</strong><br />
<strong>State</strong> also prohibits the use or possession of alcoholic beverages<br />
on campus property except as authorized by campus policy.<br />
Students and staff may be accountable to both civil<br />
authorities and to the College administration for drug and alcohol<br />
related actions which are a violation of federal, state or<br />
local laws, or the College policy as stated below. In 1989, the<br />
College Board of Trustees approved a Drug Free Workplace<br />
policy found below.<br />
Policy For Drug-Free Workplace: 89.49<br />
The unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensing, possession<br />
or use of a controlled substance is prohibited in the<br />
<strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> workplace. Employees who violate this prohibition<br />
will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including<br />
immediate discharge.<br />
All employees are obligated to the terms of this policy and<br />
must notify their immediate supervisor of conviction for any<br />
criminal drug statute violation occurring in the workplace no<br />
later than five days after such conviction.<br />
Each employee of the College will receive a written copy of<br />
this POLICY STATEMENT regarding a Drug-Free Workplace<br />
and will be notified that, as a condition of employment, he or<br />
she must abide by this POLICY STATEMENT and notify the<br />
employer of any criminal drug statute conviction for a violation<br />
occurring in the workplace not later than five days after such<br />
conviction.<br />
Upon receiving notice that an employee who is engaged in<br />
the performance of a federal contract has had any criminal<br />
drug statute conviction for a violation occurring in the workplace,<br />
<strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> will notify the federal contracting<br />
agency within ten days. The College will impose a sanction<br />
on, or require participation in a drug abuse assistance/rehabil-<br />
46
itation program by the convicted employee.<br />
Substance abuse is a serious problem in our society. In<br />
response to this problem, <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> offers the following<br />
educational activities and personal assistance to all members<br />
of the campus community.<br />
- An annual distribution of this statement to all students and<br />
employees of the College.<br />
- Health/Wellness Information is available in the hall outside<br />
the Admission Office.<br />
- The Department of Athletics and Student Activities has an<br />
alcohol/drug education assistance program for athletes.<br />
- Two College-wide workshops on issues dealing with substance<br />
abuse are held during each academic year.<br />
- Information and literature on substance abuse is available<br />
in the Counseling Center, room 168.<br />
- Students, as well as faculty and staff members who may<br />
have alcohol or other substance abuse problems, may<br />
receive confidential counseling and referral to appropriate<br />
community agencies from the counselors in the Counseling<br />
Center, room 168, or employees may contact the Office of<br />
Human Resources for assistance.<br />
Early recognition, intervention and treatment for substance<br />
abuse is necessary to avoid detrimental effects to physical and<br />
mental health. Health risks associated with substance abuse<br />
include, but are not limited to:<br />
- Physical dependence<br />
- Psychological dependence<br />
- Alterations in the body’s immune system<br />
- Digestive problems<br />
- Liver complications<br />
- Neuropsychological complications<br />
- Nutritional deficiencies<br />
- Certain cancers<br />
- Cardiovascular complications<br />
- Respiratory complications<br />
- An increased risk of contracting AIDS<br />
- Deterioration in learning ability, memory and judgment<br />
- Placental transfer resulting in low birth weight, mental<br />
retardation, congenital malformation and neonatal addiction<br />
- Moral deterioration<br />
- Deterioration of personal relationships<br />
Death may result from continued substance abuse.<br />
Alcohol and the Law<br />
You have a responsibility to follow the laws of your city, state<br />
and nation. If you fail to live up to that responsibility, you may<br />
face certain penalties. Some of the potential legal consequences<br />
of committing an alcohol related criminal offense are<br />
listed in this statement.<br />
Underage Consumption, Purchasing or Possession of Alcohol<br />
The legal drinking age in Ohio for consumption of an alcoholic<br />
beverage is 21 years old. Anyone purchasing, possessing<br />
or consuming alcohol prior to their 21st birthday is guilty of a<br />
first degree misdemeanor. The maximum penalties associated<br />
with this offense are 6 months imprisonment or a $1,000 fine<br />
or both. A 20-year-old student, therefore, risks being imprisoned<br />
and fined when he or she decides to drink alcohol.<br />
Providing Alcohol to an Underage Person<br />
A person who furnishes alcohol to an underage person is<br />
guilty of a first degree misdemeanor. The maximum penalties<br />
associated with this offense are 6 months imprisonment or<br />
$1,000 fine or both. A social host, therefore, risks being fined<br />
47<br />
and imprisoned when he or she furnishes alcohol to a person<br />
he or she knows or should know is not 21 years of age.<br />
Fake ID<br />
Possession or display of a fictitious operators license is a first<br />
degree misdemeanor. The offense includes mere possession of<br />
a fictitious license or display of someone else’s valid operators<br />
license. The maximum penalties for this offense are 6 months<br />
imprisonment or a $1000 fine or both. Moreover, if the fictitious<br />
operators license is utilized to purchase alcohol or enter<br />
an establishment that serves alcohol, the minimum fine must<br />
be at least $250 and the person displaying the fictitious operators<br />
license may have his or her valid operators license suspended<br />
for 3 years.<br />
Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol or Drugs (DUI)<br />
In Ohio, a person may not operate a motor vehicle if he or<br />
she is impaired by alcohol and/or drugs. The maximum penalties<br />
for operating a vehicle while under the influence are 6<br />
months imprisonment (mandatory 3 days in jail) or a $1,000<br />
fine or both. In addition, the operator must forfeit his or her<br />
driving privileges for 3 months.<br />
Open Container<br />
It is illegal to possess in public an open container of an alcoholic<br />
beverage. If convicted of this offense, the maximum<br />
penalty is a $100 fine. Consumption of alcohol in a motor<br />
vehicle is a fourth degree misdemeanor with maximum penalties<br />
of 30 days imprisonment or a $250 fine or both.<br />
Disorderly Conduct<br />
Disorderly conduct while intoxicated is a minor misdemeanor<br />
and carries a maximum penalty of a $100 fine.<br />
Disorderly conduct occurs when one recklessly causes inconvenience,<br />
annoyance or alarm to another due to offensive conduct.<br />
Federal and <strong>State</strong> Penalties<br />
for Sale and Possession<br />
The Federal Government decides if and how a drug should<br />
be controlled. Psychoactive (mind-altering) chemicals are categorized<br />
according to Schedule I-V. This schedule designates<br />
if the drug can be prescribed by a physician and under what<br />
conditions. Factors considered in this categorization include a<br />
drug’s known and potential medical value, its potential for<br />
physical or psychological dependence, and risk, if any, to public<br />
health. Penalties for the illegal sale or distribution of a drug<br />
are established using the designation of Schedule I-V. If you<br />
have knowledge of a felony you must report it to a law enforcement<br />
official.<br />
Schedule I drugs have a high potential for abuse with no<br />
medical use. Production of these drugs is controlled.<br />
Examples include heroin, methaqualone, all hallucinogens<br />
(except phencyclidine-PCP), marijuana and hashish.<br />
Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), depending on its form, can also<br />
be a schedule II drug.<br />
Schedule II drugs have a high potential for abuse, but have<br />
some medical uses. Production of these drugs is controlled.<br />
Examples include opium, morphine, codeine, some other narcotics,<br />
barbiturates, cocaine, amphetamines, and phencyclidine<br />
(PCP).<br />
Federal and <strong>State</strong> of Ohio penalties for selling Schedule I and<br />
II drugs vary with the quantity of the drug. Additionally, if<br />
death or serious injury is associated with the sale and/or if it is<br />
a second offense, penalties are more severe. When establishing<br />
penalties for sale, marijuana and hashish are separated
from this designation according to the schedule. The penalties,<br />
however, are similar to those set for Schedule I and II drugs.<br />
The Federal penalty for first offense sale of small amounts of<br />
Schedule I and II drugs is “not less that 4 years/not more than<br />
40 years; if death or serious injury, not less than 20 years/not<br />
more than life; fine of not more than $2 million individual/$5<br />
million other than individual.”<br />
In the <strong>State</strong> of Ohio the penalty for “delivery, possession with<br />
intent to deliver, and manufacture” of less than 25 grams is<br />
“mandatory 1 to 20 years; up to $25,000 or life probation.”<br />
The penalty for possession of less than 25 grams is “up to 4<br />
years, or fined up to $25,000 or both.” Both are a felony. Use<br />
is a misdemeanor which has a penalty of “up to 2 years,<br />
$2,000 fine or both.”<br />
Schedule III, IV and V drugs include those that most citizens<br />
would categorize as “prescription drugs.” Schedule III drugs<br />
have some potential for abuse, but less than I and II. The<br />
potential for abuse of Schedule IV drugs is less than Schedule<br />
III, and Schedule V is less than IV. All Schedule III-V drugs<br />
have medical uses and production is not controlled. Examples<br />
of these drugs include some narcotics, chloral hydrate (IV), barbiturates<br />
(III & IV), amphetamines (III), and other stimulants (III<br />
& IV).<br />
The Federal penalty for first offense sale of a Schedule III drug<br />
is “Not more than 5 years; fine of not more than $250,000 individual/$1<br />
million not individual.” The Federal penalty for first<br />
offense sale of schedule IV drugs is “not more than 3 years.”<br />
The fine is the same as for Schedule III drugs. The Federal<br />
penalty for first offense sale of Schedule V drugs is “not more<br />
than 1 year; fine of not more than $100,000 individual/$250,000<br />
not individual.”<br />
Sale of some Schedule III drugs is a felony and has a <strong>State</strong> of<br />
Ohio penalty of “up to 7 years; or a fine up to $5,000; or both.“<br />
<strong>State</strong> of Ohio penalty for sale of Schedule IV drugs is a felony<br />
and has a penalty of “up to 4 years; or a fine up to $2,000; or<br />
both.” Sale of Schedule V drugs in the <strong>State</strong> of Ohio is also a<br />
felony and has a state penalty of “up to 2 years; or a fine up to<br />
$2,000; or both.”<br />

Student Conduct Violations<br />
and Hearing Procedure<br />
Ohio Administrative Code (O.A.C.) Rule 3357:4-1-100<br />
Article IV, Judicial Policies<br />
A. Any member of the College community may file charges<br />
against any student for misconduct. Charges shall be prepared<br />
in writing and directed to the judicial advisor responsible for<br />
the administration of the College judicial system. Any charge<br />
should be submitted as soon as possible after the event takes<br />
place, preferably within forty-eight hours.<br />
B. The judicial advisor may conduct an investigation to<br />
determine if the charges have merit and/or if they can be disposed<br />
of administratively by mutual consent of the parties<br />
involved on a basis acceptable to the judicial advisor. Such<br />
disposition shall be final and there shall be no subsequent proceedings.<br />
If the charges cannot be disposed of by mutual consent,<br />
the judicial advisor may later serve in the same matter as<br />
the judicial body or a member thereof.<br />
C. All charges shall be presented to the accused student in<br />
written form. A time shall be set for a hearing, not less than five<br />
nor more than fifteen calendar days after the student has been<br />
notified. Maximum time limit for scheduling of hearings may<br />
be extended at the discretion of the judicial advisor.<br />
D. Hearings shall be conducted by a judicial body according<br />
to the following guidelines:<br />
(i) Hearings normally shall be conducted in private. At the<br />
request of the accused student, and subject to the discretion of<br />
the judicial advisor, a representative of the student press may<br />
be admitted, but shall not have the privilege of participating in<br />
the hearing.<br />
(ii) Admission of any person to the hearing shall be at the<br />
discretion of the judicial body and/or its judicial advisor.<br />
(iii) In hearings involving more than one accused student,<br />
the judicial advisor of the judicial body, in his/her discretion,<br />
may permit the hearings concerning each student to be conducted<br />
separately.<br />
(iv) The complainant and the accused have the right to be<br />
assisted by any advisor they choose, at their own expense. The<br />
advisor may be an attorney. The complainant and/or the<br />
accused is responsible for presenting his or her case and, therefore,<br />
advisors are not permitted to speak or to participate<br />
directly in any hearing before a judicial body.<br />
(v) The complainant, the accused and the judicial body<br />
shall have the privilege of presenting witnesses, subject to the<br />
right of cross examination by the judicial body.<br />
(vi) Pertinent records, exhibits and written statements may<br />
be accepted as evidence for consideration by a judicial body<br />
at the discretion of the judicial body.<br />
(vii) All procedural questions are subject to the final decision<br />
of the judicial advisor of the judicial body.<br />
(viii) After the hearing, the judicial body shall determine (by<br />
majority vote if the judicial body consists of more than one person)<br />
whether the student has violated each section of the student<br />
code which the student is charged with violating.<br />
(ix) The judicial body's determination shall be made on the<br />
basis of whether it is more likely than not that the accused student<br />
violated the student code.<br />
E. There shall be a single verbatim record, such as a tape<br />
recording of all hearings before a judicial body. The record<br />
shall be the property of the College.<br />
F. Except in the case of a student charged with failing to obey<br />
the summons of a judicial body or College official, no student<br />
may be found to have violated the student code solely because<br />
the student failed to appear before a judicial body. In all cases,<br />
the evidence in support of the charges shall be presented and<br />
considered.<br />
Student Complaint Procedures<br />
<strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> Technical and Community College has<br />
established procedures to address the violation of the rights of<br />
students. A complete copy of the procedures can be obtained<br />

related to an appeal of academic decisions must first be handled<br />
through the Academic Appeals Procedure which is<br />
referred to elsewhere in this section of the <strong>Catalog</strong>.)<br />
If a student feels that his or her rights have been, or are being,<br />
violated by another student or <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> staff, the following<br />
procedure is available:<br />
48
Step 1 — The student should discuss the problem with his or<br />
her instructor or faculty advisor.<br />
Step 2 — If the problem is not resolved at Step 1, a student<br />
complaint/referral form should be submitted to the Dean of<br />

This information may be released without the written consent<br />
of the student. All other information is confidential and will be<br />
released only with written consent from the student for legitimate<br />
College purposes or as otherwise required by law.<br />
Students have the right to withhold directory information from<br />
the public if they desire. Each student who wants all directory<br />
information withheld is required to inform the Office of the<br />
Registrar in writing. At least 5 days should be allowed for processing<br />
such a request through the student information system.<br />
Upon receipt of a written request to withhold directory information,<br />
the Office of the Registrar will place a Hold on the student’s<br />
record alerting staff in the Office of the Registrar the student<br />
has requested that no information be provided. No information<br />
will be released, regardless of any authorizations the<br />
student has completed either before or after notification has<br />
been submitted to the Office of the Registrar.<br />
<strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> receives many inquiries for “directory information”<br />
from various sources, including prospective employers,<br />
insurance companies, loan agencies, other institutions of<br />
higher education, government agencies and news media. All<br />
students are advised to carefully consider the consequences of<br />
a decision to withhold directory information. If a student<br />
requests to have directory information withheld, the student<br />
will be required to provide written consent to the Office of the<br />
Registrar for any and all information to be released. Students<br />
requesting that all directory information be withheld will not<br />
be able to register through the touch-tone registration service.<br />
Photographs and/or films of students for promotional and<br />
recruitment purposes are taken throughout the school year.<br />
Students who do not wish to be included in these visuals must<br />
inform the Director of Public Information prior to photographing<br />
and/or filming.<br />

Notification of Rights under<br />
the Family Educational Rights<br />
and Privacy Act<br />
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)<br />
affords students certain rights with respect to their educational<br />
records. They are:<br />
1. The right to inspect and review the student’s education<br />
records within 45 days of the day that <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong><br />
Technical and Community College receives a request for<br />
access.<br />
Students should submit to the registrar, dean, program<br />
chair or other appropriate official, a written request that<br />
identifies the record(s) they wish to inspect. The College<br />
official will make arrangements for access and notify the<br />
student of the time and place where the records may be<br />
inspected. If the records are not maintained by the<br />
College official to whom the request was submitted, that<br />
official shall advise the student of the correct official to<br />
whom the request should be addressed.<br />
2. The right to request the amendment of the student’s<br />
education records that the student believes are inaccurate<br />
or misleading.<br />
Students may ask the College to amend a record that<br />
they believe is inaccurate or misleading. They should<br />
write the College official responsible for the record,<br />
clearly identify the part of the record they want changed,<br />
and specify why it is inaccurate or misleading.<br />
If the College decides not to amend the record as<br />
requested by the student, the College will notify the student<br />
of the decision and advise the student of his or her<br />
right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment.<br />
Additional information regarding the hearing procedures<br />
will be provided to the student when notified of the right<br />
to a hearing.<br />
3. The right to consent to disclosure of personally identifiable<br />
information contained in the student’s education
ecords, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure<br />
without consent.<br />
One exception which permits disclosure without consent is<br />
disclosure to schools officials with legitimate educational<br />
interests. A school official is:<br />
• a person employed by the College in an administrative,<br />
supervisory, academic or research, or support staff position<br />
(including law enforcement unit personnel);<br />
• a person or company with whom the College has contracted<br />
(such as an attorney, auditor, or collection agent);<br />
• a person serving on the Board of Trustees; or a student<br />
serving on an official committee, such as disciplinary or<br />
grievance committee, or assisting another school official in<br />
performing his or her tasks.<br />
A College official has a legitimate educational interest if the<br />
official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill<br />
his or her professional responsibility.<br />
4. The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department<br />
of Education concerning alleged failures by <strong>Cincinnati</strong><br />
<strong>State</strong> Technical and Community College to comply with<br />
the requirements of FERPA. The name and address of the<br />
office that administers FERPA are:<br />

An important part of the mission of the College is the adherence<br />
to the principles of student rights and freedoms, as amplified<br />
by the "Joint <strong>State</strong>ment on Rights and Freedoms of<br />
Students," which was formulated by representatives of the<br />
American Association of University Professors, United <strong>State</strong>s<br />
Student Association, Association of American Colleges,<br />
National Association of Student Personnel Administrators,<br />
National Association for Women Educators, as well as a number<br />
of other professional bodies. These principles speak to the<br />
standards and responsibilities of the academic community to<br />
ensure student access to education; free discussion in the classroom;<br />
maintenance of student records; the freedom to form<br />
organizations that promote the common interests of students,<br />
and the freedom of inquiry and expression; student participation<br />
in institutional government; as well as expectations of student<br />
conduct, and the exercise of rights of citizenship.<br />

consideration for admission to a public university in<br />
Ohio.<br />

Arts (AA) and Associate of Science (AS). These associate<br />
degree programs are listed beginning on page 64.<br />
In addition to associate degree programs, the College<br />
offers several certificate programs that prepare students for<br />
specific occupational situations. These certificate programs<br />
usually can be completed in less time than is required to<br />
complete an associate degree.<br />

College Orientation<br />
Requirement<br />
All <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> students who are enrolled in degree<br />
or certificate programs are required to complete the college<br />
orientation course CAR 9002, College Success<br />
Strategies. This requirement does not apply to degree-seeking<br />
or certificate-seeking students who have already successfully<br />
completed 18 or more credits of college-level<br />
courses at <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> (not including Developmental<br />
Education courses), or have received transfer credit for<br />

experience and to <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong>’s expectations and<br />
resources for new students. This course earns college credit,<br />

talented, highly motivated students. The Honors<br />
Experience curriculum complements the existing degree<br />
programs. Students can take Honors sections of many of
the required courses. The Honors Experience strives to<br />
establish an intellectual community among students and<br />

Developmental Education<br />
Developmental courses are available for students whose<br />
placement test scores indicate a need for additional preparation<br />
in the areas of reading, writing, and math skills prior<br />
to entering their program of study. Typically, students take<br />
these courses prior to admission to a degree program.<br />
However, in some cases, developmental courses can be<br />
taken in conjunction with program-level coursework.<br />
Students who need developmental courses are assigned a<br />
pre-technical or pre-major advisor. The advisor assists students<br />
in selecting appropriate coursework and monitors<br />
the progress of each student toward meeting program<br />
admission requirements.<br />
Courses in study skills and math anxiety are also available.<br />
These courses provide students with important college<br />
success skills such as test-taking, time management,<br />
using the library, and taking notes. In addition, a developmental<br />
computer learning laboratory and tutoring services<br />
are provided free of charge when extra help is needed.<br />
Courses with a DE or ESL department code are counted<br />
in the total number of attempted hours on student transcripts,<br />
but they are not used to calculate a student’s<br />
Grade Point Average (GPA). Even though these grades do<br />
not affect the GPA, they can affect financial aid eligibility.<br />
Grades earned in courses with a CAR department code do<br />
count toward the student’s GPA. Neither DE nor CAR<br />
courses can be counted toward graduation.<br />
The following courses are offered every term:<br />
Credits<br />
DE 00<strong>03</strong> Basic Writing 1 4<br />
DE 00<strong>04</strong> Basic Writing 2 4<br />
DE 0005 Basic Writing 3 4<br />
DE 0010 College Reading 1 4<br />
DE 0011 College Reading 2 4<br />
DE 0018 Integrated College Prep Skills 8-12<br />
DE 0020 Basic Mathematics 1 4<br />
DE 0024 Basic Algebra 1 4<br />
DE 0025 Basic Algebra 2 4<br />
CAR 9014 College Study Skills 4<br />

ESL 0060 Reading and Writing 1 4<br />
ESL 0061 Reading and Writing 2 4<br />
ESL 0063 Conversation 2<br />
ESL 0064 Advanced Writing 4<br />
Students may be advised to take other developmental<br />
courses not listed above that are offered on varying schedules<br />
to meet specific program preparation needs. Course<br />
descriptions for these courses are available from advisors.<br />
ESL Courses<br />
International students who successfully complete courses<br />
in English as a Second Language (ESL) are considered to<br />
have completed developmental writing and reading courses.<br />
Additional developmental writing and reading courses<br />
are not required.<br />
Developmental Learning Lab<br />
A developmental learning lab is located in Rooms 254<br />
and 258 of the main building. This IBM-based computer<br />
laboratory provides students the opportunity to use supplemental<br />
instructional materials to sharpen their basic skills<br />
while reinforcing their ability to learn independently.<br />
Tutoring<br />
Individual or group tutoring is available to <strong>Cincinnati</strong><br />
<strong>State</strong> students in a variety of subject areas and is free of<br />
charge. Instruction is provided by qualified faculty or by<br />
student tutors who are recommended by faculty. All tutors<br />
receive training regarding methods, policies, and practices<br />
aimed at promoting independent learning. Students may<br />
request a tutor through the Tutoring Center in Room 261.<br />
Weekly appointments are scheduled when an appropriate<br />
tutor has been located. Drop-in tutoring without an<br />
appointment is available for students who need assistance<br />
in math and physics.<br />
Distance Education<br />
Because of work schedules, parenting duties, and other<br />
responsibilities, some students are unable to attend traditional<br />
classes scheduled on campus. To provide a variety<br />
of options for these students, <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> offers a<br />
number of courses in a “distance education” format.<br />
Course lectures and instructional materials are made<br />
available to students through Web-based instruction;<br />
broadcast via public television; CD, video, or audio<br />
media; and/or print-based methods. Instructors of distance<br />
education courses may require on-campus class meetings<br />
at announced times (such as course orientation, midterm<br />
60
exam, and final exam). All distance education course<br />
instructors are available to answer student questions<br />
throughout the term.<br />
Distance education courses provide the same quality and<br />
content as traditional classroom-based instruction.<br />
Students who are interested in the scheduling flexibility<br />
provided by these courses should contact the Office of the<br />
Dean of the division which offers the course(s).<br />
Extension Sites<br />
<strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> provides college credit and non-credit<br />
courses through community learning centers located at<br />
Oak Hills High School, Colerain High School, Lower Price<br />
Hill School, the <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> West campus in Harrison,<br />
Ohio, and the Workforce Development Center in<br />
Evendale.<br />
Whether students earn college credit or seek personal<br />
enrichment, courses offered at the extension sites bring<br />
<strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> programs to local neighborhoods.<br />
Courses offered at the extension sites are listed in the Term<br />
Schedule and are identified with a site abbreviation code<br />
under the Building (BLDG) column.<br />
Weekend College<br />
The <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> Weekend College allows students to<br />
complete selected associate degree and certificate programs<br />
with all classes scheduled on the weekends. The<br />
classes take place on Friday evenings, Saturday mornings,<br />
Saturday afternoons and Sunday afternoons. The advantages<br />
include small class sizes, low tuition and convenient<br />
scheduling to assist those who work full-time. Students<br />
complete the standard <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> application, enrollment,<br />
and financial aid procedures. Students enrolled in<br />
Weekend College programs are identified in College<br />
records with “WC” attached to their major code (for example,<br />
“ACCT.WC” identifies a Weekend College student<br />
enrolled in the Accounting degree program).<br />
In 20<strong>03</strong>-<strong>04</strong> the following associate degree programs will<br />
be offered: Accounting, Business Management, Computer<br />
Programming, Early Childhood Care and Education, and<br />
Marketing Management. Some certificate programs may<br />
be offered also.<br />
Programs that are available with a combination of weekend<br />
and distance education course work are the degrees<br />
Health Information Management, Associate of Arts and<br />
Associate of Science, and the Coding Specialist Certificate.<br />
For more information concerning the Weekend College<br />
contact the Office of Admissions or the academic division<br />

R. Craig<br />
R. Craig<br />
The <strong>State</strong> of Ohio has developed a statewide policy to<br />
facilitate movement of students and transfer credits from<br />
one Ohio public college or university to another. (See policy<br />
statement on page 36-37.)<br />
The <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> Transfer Module consists of 55 to 59<br />
quarter credit hours that transfer to any public Ohio twoor<br />
four-year college. The courses listed below constitute<br />
the Transfer Module.<br />
Categories contained in the Transfer Module are:<br />
English Composition<br />
Mathematics<br />
Arts/Humanities<br />
Social/Behavioral Sciences<br />
Biological/Physical Sciences<br />
Students earning the Transfer Module select courses from<br />
these categories. The Transfer Module requirements are<br />
included in the degree requirements for students earning<br />
the Associate of Arts (AA) or Associate of Science (AS);<br />
however, students earning the AA or AS degree also are<br />
required to complete additional courses selected from the<br />
Transfer Module categories. The AA/AS requirements are<br />
described on pages 64-68.<br />
Students completing the Transfer Module should consult<br />
with their academic advisor to assure that courses selected<br />
are appropriate for the institution and the degree program<br />
that the student plans to pursue after completing studies at<br />
<strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong>.<br />

Degrees<br />
Program Chair - Joyce Rimlinger<br />
Advisor – Nancy King, Julie McLaughlin<br />
Co-op Coordinator - Linda Romero<br />
<strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> offers the Associate of Arts and Associate<br />
of Science degrees, which are often called “university parallel<br />
degrees” or “transfer degrees,” because these degrees<br />
provide the first two years of a Bachelor’s degree program.<br />
The primary purpose of the Associate of Arts and Associate<br />
of Science degrees is to prepare students for transfer to a<br />
four-year college or university. Students who earn these<br />
degrees and have an overall grade point average of 2.0 or<br />
better are given preferential consideration for admission to<br />
Ohio public universities.<br />
To earn an Associate of Arts or Associate of Science<br />
degree at <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> students must complete at least<br />
102 credit hours of courses from these areas:<br />
English Composition<br />
Mathematics<br />
Biological/Physical Sciences<br />
Social/Behavioral Sciences<br />
Arts/Humanities<br />
Computer Literacy<br />
Cooperative Education/Career Exploration<br />
The Associate of Arts degree is for students who desire<br />
to pursue a Bachelor’s degree by completing the first two<br />
years at <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> in program areas such as:<br />
Architecture<br />
Communications<br />
Criminal Justice<br />
Education<br />
English<br />
Fine Arts<br />
History<br />
International Affairs<br />
Philosophy<br />
Political Science<br />
Pre-Law<br />
Psychology<br />
Social Work<br />
Sociology<br />
Spanish<br />
Theatre<br />
Urban Planning<br />
Urban Studies<br />
The Associate of Science degree is for students who<br />
desire to pursue a Bachelor’s degree by completing the first<br />
two years at <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> in program areas such as:<br />
Biology<br />
Chemistry<br />
Mathematics<br />
Meteorology<br />
Physics<br />
Pre-Dentistry<br />
Pre-Medicine<br />
Pre-Mortuary Science<br />
Pre-Optometry<br />

Zoology<br />
Students who seek the Associate of Arts or Associate of<br />
Science degree need to be familiar with the requirements<br />
for the Bachelor’s degree at the institution where they<br />
intend to complete their studies. Students work with a<br />
<strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> faculty advisor to develop a planned curriculum<br />
of required and elective courses. This plan should<br />
allow a full-time student to transfer to the desired four-year<br />
institution at junior status after two years or less. Students<br />
who need additional preparation or attend part-time may<br />
take longer than two years to complete their degree<br />
requirements.<br />

COOPERATIVE EDUCATION<br />
7 Credits<br />
The Associate of Arts and Associate of Science programs<br />
share the College’s commitment to cooperative education<br />
as an integral part of the curriculum. Cooperative education<br />
allows students to apply the concepts learned in the<br />
classroom with practical, hands-on experience in real<br />
work environments.<br />
In order to complete the AA or AS degree at <strong>Cincinnati</strong><br />
<strong>State</strong>, students must earn no fewer than seven credits in<br />
work exploration/experience, selected from the courses<br />
described below.<br />
All students seeking the AA or AS degree must successfully<br />
complete HUM 9801 - Career Exploration Seminar.<br />
Students should enroll in this course in their second or<br />
third term.<br />
All students seeking the AA or AS degree must successfully<br />
complete two additional work experience classes,<br />
selected from courses HUM 9802, HUM 98<strong>03</strong>, HUM<br />
98<strong>04</strong>, HUM 9805, or HUM 9806. Other classes may not<br />
be substituted for the work experience courses without<br />
prior approval of the program chair and the cooperative<br />
education coordinator. However, students with prior work<br />
experience that is related to their post-baccalaureate<br />
career goals may be eligible to receive credit through the<br />
standard College procedures for granting Advanced<br />
Standing Credit.<br />

Business Technologies<br />
Division<br />
Main Phone Number: (513) 569-1620<br />
<strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> meets the need for specialized business<br />
training with 20 Associate of Applied Business degree programs,<br />
14 certificate programs, an Associate of Arts in Pre-<br />
Business Administration, and two Associate of Applied<br />
Science degree programs. Organized job experience<br />
through cooperative education work assignments with<br />
leading business firms is a key phase of the learning program.<br />
Business courses, combined with job-related activities<br />
during ten-week co-op terms, provide students with<br />
both business skills and business experience. Upon completion<br />
of the two-year degree program in business, students<br />
earn an Associate’s degree.<br />
Credits earned in the degree programs are transferable.<br />
<strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> has established articulation agreements<br />
with the College of Mount St. Joseph, Thomas More<br />
College, Xavier University, Northern Kentucky University,<br />
the University of <strong>Cincinnati</strong>, Miami University, Rochester<br />
Institute of Technology, the Union Institute, and<br />
Wilmington College.<br />
Entrance Competencies<br />
In order to ensure a high degree of success in academic<br />
studies in business technologies, entering students must<br />
meet established academic levels in mathematics, communication<br />
skills, and reading comprehension. To aid in<br />
determining these levels, entering students are required to<br />
take COMPASS, the college admissions/placement test. If<br />
testing and previous academic background indicate that a<br />
student has not reached the necessary preparatory level, a<br />
divisional advisor will assist in preparing a program of<br />
classes to help the student reach those levels. Preparatory<br />
classes are available on a year-round basis.<br />
Cooperative Education - Working for Success Experience<br />
Cooperative education allows students to apply the concepts<br />
learned in the classroom to the business world and<br />
to gain practical experience that enhances employment<br />
after graduation. Therefore, in the Business Technologies<br />
Division all students must earn 8 to 10 credit hours in<br />
cooperative education.<br />
The Business Technologies Division’s Working for<br />
Success Experience, a series of practice-oriented courses,<br />
ensures students’ success in preparing for and achieving<br />
their career goals. The foundation for the program is set<br />
with course CAR 9002 – College Success Strategies, the<br />
first course in the series. This course prepares students for<br />
their college experiences and provides a map for a successful<br />
transition to college life. College Success Strategies<br />
sets the stage for the classroom, lab, and cooperative education<br />
experiences students have at <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong>.<br />
The Working for Success Experience continues with BT<br />
9200 – Professional Practices. This course prepares students<br />
for their cooperative education experience. Through<br />
Professional Practices, students learn fundamental skills<br />
required to gain employment such as goal setting, career<br />
research, resume writing, interviewing, and negotiating.
Additionally, students gain job success competencies ranging<br />
from business etiquette to business ethics. Upon completion<br />
of this course, students are ready for the practical<br />
experience provided by cooperative education.<br />
The primary element in the practice-oriented education<br />
provided by the Working for Success Experience is cooperative<br />
education. <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong>’s cooperative education<br />
program reinforces the concept that learning occurs best<br />
with the integration of classroom studies and related work<br />
experience. Through mandatory co-op experiences, students<br />
complete several terms of meaningful employment<br />
that is structured, managed, and evaluated in a systematic<br />
way to help students realize their career goals. By completing<br />
learning modules, students acquire additional skill<br />
sets necessary to sustain employment. In exceptional situations<br />
students, in consultation with their program coordinators,<br />
may fulfill the co-op requirement through registration<br />
in Co-op Seminar course(s) BUS 9230, BUS 9231,<br />
and BUS 9232. Additional guidelines for meeting the coop<br />
requirement are outlined below.<br />
Once students complete co-op requirements, they enroll<br />
in the third course of the Working for Success Experience,<br />
BUS 9233 – Business Competencies. This capstone course<br />
ties the practice-oriented sequence together with the experiences<br />
of the preceding courses. Students gain practical<br />
experience as they complete educational units that build<br />
the competencies needed to advance in their chosen field<br />
of work. The Business Competencies course includes an<br />
element of mandatory community service. Part of the<br />
enrichment education provides is the realization that with<br />
education and career come a responsibility to the community.<br />
The capstone course helps students gain that perspective<br />
and form the foundation for good citizenship.<br />
The Cooperative Education Requirement<br />
1. Students can meet the Business Technologies Division<br />
cooperative education requirement in these three ways:<br />
• Complete the traditional cooperative education work<br />
experiences.<br />
• Fulfill the requirements by applying for advanced<br />
standing.<br />
• Complete the Co-op Seminar classes satisfactorily;<br />
this requires the coordinator’s prior approval.<br />
2. To be eligible to participate in the cooperative education<br />
program, students must meet the following<br />
requirements:<br />
• Matriculate as a student.<br />
• Maintain a G.P.A. of 2.0 or higher, and complete any<br />
required program technical courses. (See co-op coordinator<br />
for list.)<br />
• Attend a co-op orientation session, complete an<br />
application to co-op packet, and return it to the program<br />
co-op coordinator before consideration for<br />
placement.<br />
• Agree to follow the curriculum and meet all program<br />
requirements as specified.<br />
• Agree not to seek full-time employment with a co-op<br />
employer until graduation.<br />
• Understand that co-op students are not eligible for<br />
unemployment benefits for co-op positions, and as<br />
such, agree not to apply for them.<br />
• Gain prior coordinator approval if it is necessary to<br />
drop out of co-op employment and complete the<br />
remainder of the co-op requirements by taking Coop<br />
Seminar courses. If students leave co-op employment,<br />
they are eligible to re-enter only with approval<br />
of the co-op coordinator.<br />
3. Students may complete the required co-op experience<br />
on either an alternating or parallel track depending on<br />
the availability of positions. Students must meet with<br />
their co-op coordinator as soon as possible after admission<br />
to their academic program to complete their co-op<br />
plan.<br />
4. The Business Technologies Division assists students in<br />
completing their cooperative education work experiences.<br />
Although the Division’s co-op coordinators are<br />
generally successful in finding interview opportunities<br />
for co-op students, there is no employment guarantee.<br />
If employment is unavailable, the co-op coordinator<br />
works with students on alternatives to fulfill the cooperative<br />
education requirement.<br />
Transfer Module<br />
The Ohio Board of Regents developed the transfer module<br />
to facilitate transfer of credits from one Ohio public<br />
college or university to another. The transfer module contains<br />
54 to 60 quarter hours of course credits in the areas<br />
of English, mathematics, arts and humanities, social and<br />
behavioral sciences, natural and physical sciences, and<br />
interdisciplinary studies. A transfer module completed at<br />
one college or university automatically meets the requirements<br />
for the transfer module at another college or university<br />
once the student is admitted. For additional information,<br />
see the “<strong>State</strong> of Ohio Policy for Institutional<br />
Transfer” and the “Transfer Module” sections of the<br />
College catalog.<br />
Associate’s degree programs in the Business Technologies<br />
Division contain in their curriculums most of the required<br />
courses for the <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> Transfer Module. Students<br />
who wish to complete the transfer module should schedule<br />
the additional courses at their convenience. Students<br />
who transfer to an Ohio public university for baccalaureate<br />
degrees will find that the <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> Associate of<br />
Applied Business degree combined with a transfer module<br />
showing grades of “C” or higher receives preferential consideration<br />
at the receiving institution.<br />
Pre-Business Administration Transfer Degree<br />
Program Chair - Linda Schaffeld<br />
Co-op Coordinator - Kendra Vonderhaar<br />
The primary objective of the Pre-Business Administration<br />
degree program is to provide for transfer to a four-year<br />
institution rather than preparation for a job. The program<br />
provides students with basic coursework that enables them<br />
to transfer to baccalaureate programs in business administration,<br />
accounting, finance, management, or marketing.<br />
Students complete general education requirements and<br />
selected business core courses to prepare for work in their<br />
major at the senior institution. The Pre-Business<br />
Administration Transfer curriculum leads to the Associate<br />
of Arts degree, and meets the transfer module requirements<br />
for transfer to Ohio public colleges and universities.<br />
69
Students who plan to transfer to a baccalaureate program<br />
in business must be aware of significant differences in<br />
course requirements and the application of transfer credits<br />
at the various institutions in the region. They should work<br />
closely with their academic advisors from <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong><br />

Landscape Horticulture Technologies<br />
Program Co-Chairs - Mark Deacon, Ann Fox<br />
Co-op Coordinator -<br />
Landscape Horticulture Technologies programs provide<br />
knowledge and skills for several careers in the “green<br />
industry.” Two programs leading to an Associate of<br />
Applied Business degree, one program leading to an<br />
Associate of Applied Science degree, and one certificate<br />
program are available.<br />
Because of the unique seasonal employment opportunities<br />
of horticultural jobs, these degree programs follow a<br />
unique co-op schedule. Students spend two terms during<br />
the growing season in cooperative employment during<br />
each of the two years of the program. These assignments<br />
usually occur during the Spring, Summer, and/or Early Fall<br />
terms.<br />

The Engineering Technologies Division offers eight twoyear<br />
Associate’s degree programs, providing seven areas of<br />
specialization. Each curriculum includes specialized technical<br />
work, basic theory and skill in mathematics and science,<br />
and foundation courses in communication skills,<br />
humanities, and social sciences. All students must complete<br />
the college orientation course CAR 9002, College<br />
Success Strategies, within the first 18 credit hours taken at<br />
<strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong>. Full-time students who follow the published<br />
sequence of courses can complete the Associate’s<br />
degree programs in two years. Completing the Associate’s<br />
degree programs on a part-time basis requires a longer<br />
time.<br />
Certificate programs in the Engineering Technologies<br />
Division address areas of special interest requiring less<br />
coursework than an Associate’s degree program. These<br />
programs vary in length from a short selection of technical<br />
courses to a full one-year plan of studies, including<br />
accompanying math, science, and communications courses.<br />
Some certificate programs mesh with existing<br />
Associate’s degree programs, allowing students to apply<br />
earned credit toward obtaining a degree. Others stand<br />
alone, offering training in a specific area. In any case, all<br />
courses undergo the same rigorous approval process used<br />
to ensure quality and relevance in the Division’s<br />
Associate’s degree course offerings.<br />
The Division’s Associate’s degree programs provide ready<br />
access to the job market and also allow ease of transfer to<br />
four-year baccalaureate degree programs. The close tie<br />
with industry created by the Division’s active cooperative<br />
education component ensures that each program remains<br />
technically current. Articulation agreements are in place<br />
with Miami University, the University of <strong>Cincinnati</strong>,<br />
Northern Kentucky University, the University of Findlay,<br />
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, and the University<br />
of Toledo. Each of these agreements varies in content,<br />
and interested students should meet with their program<br />
advisor as early as possible to review the details of each<br />
arrangement.<br />
The articulation agreement with the University of Toledo<br />
allows graduates of four <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> programs to complete<br />
a Bachelor of Computer Science and Engineering<br />
Technology degree on <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong>’s campus. These<br />
programs are: Electro-Mechanical Engineering Technology,<br />
Electronics Engineering Technology, Biomedical<br />
Equipment & Information Systems Technology and<br />
Computer Network Engineering Technology.<br />
Entrance Competencies<br />
In order to ensure a high degree of success in academic<br />
studies in engineering technologies, entering students must<br />
meet established academic levels in mathematics, communication<br />
skills, and reading comprehension. To aid in<br />
determining these levels, entering students are required to<br />
take COMPASS, the college admissions/placement test. If<br />
testing and previous academic background indicate that a<br />
student has not reached the necessary preparatory level, a<br />
divisional advisor will assist in preparing a program of<br />
classes to help the student reach those levels. Preparatory<br />
classes are available on a year-round basis.<br />
Cooperative Education<br />
The Engineering Technologies Division provides technology<br />
instruction that combines classroom and laboratory<br />
instruction with practical, hands-on experience in real<br />
work environments. This combination helps prepare students<br />
for immediate employment upon graduation and<br />
positions them for advancement in technology and midmanagement<br />
careers. The cooperative education experience<br />
is a cornerstone of the educational process in the<br />
Engineering Technologies Division.<br />
All students enrolled in the Division’s Associate’s degree<br />
programs are required to earn up to 10 credit hours in<br />
cooperative education. Most students complete this<br />
requirement through on-site cooperative education assignments.<br />
Students may earn credit by alternating full-time<br />
terms in the classroom with full-time terms of cooperative<br />
education, typically over a ten-term period. Students may<br />
be able to substitute appropriate academic courses or pre-<br />
89
vious related work experience for cooperative education<br />
employment, with prior approval from the appropriate<br />
program co-op coordinator.<br />
For eligibility requirements, co-op registration policies,<br />
and other issues related to cooperative education, please<br />
refer to the “Cooperative Education Program” section of<br />
the catalog.<br />
Transfer Module<br />
The Ohio Board of Regents developed the transfer module<br />
to facilitate transfer of credits from one Ohio public<br />
college or university to another. The transfer module contains<br />
54 to 60 quarter hours of course credits in the areas<br />
of English, mathematics, arts and humanities, social and<br />
behavioral sciences, natural and physical sciences, and<br />
interdisciplinary studies. A transfer module completed at<br />
one college or university automatically meets the requirements<br />
for the transfer module at another college or university<br />
once the student is admitted. For additional information,<br />
see the “<strong>State</strong> of Ohio Policy for Institutional<br />
Transfer” and the “Transfer Module” sections of the<br />
College catalog.<br />
Associate’s degree programs in the Engineering<br />
Technologies Division contain in their curriculums many<br />
of the required courses for the <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> Transfer<br />
Module. Students who wish to complete the transfer module<br />
should schedule the additional courses at their convenience.<br />
Students who transfer to an Ohio public university<br />
for baccalaureate degrees will find that the <strong>Cincinnati</strong><br />
<strong>State</strong> Associate of Applied Science degree, combined with<br />
a transfer module showing grades of “C” or higher,<br />
receives preferential consideration at the receiving institution.<br />
Additionally, the transfer process has been streamlined<br />
for graduates of Engineering Technologies programs<br />
by the articulation agreements described above.<br />
Aviation Maintenance Technology (AMT)<br />
Program Chair - James Schmid<br />
Co-op Coordinator – Sue Dolan<br />
This two-year program prepares students to perform<br />
inspections and repairs on all types of aircraft, approving<br />
them for flight after maintenance has been performed.<br />
Classroom study involves learning every system of the aircraft<br />
and developing mechanical skills on the fleet of aircraft<br />
that <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> owns. In addition, students have<br />
opportunities to co-op with a variety of aircraft operators<br />
ranging from general aviation to jet airliners.<br />
The FAA has approved this program under Part 147 of<br />
the Federal Aviation Regulations (Air Agency Certificate<br />
Number AD9T00R). Graduates earn an Associate of<br />
Applied Science degree and are eligible to test for the FAA<br />
Aviation Mechanic Certificate with Airframe and<br />
Powerplant ratings. Certification requirements are subject<br />
to current Federal Aviation Requirements and may change<br />
without notice.<br />

Construction Management Major (CETC)<br />
This CET major prepares its graduates to effectively apply<br />
project documentation, building methods and materials, as<br />
93<br />
well as estimate project costs and schedule building activities.<br />
Early in the curriculum, students learn about construction<br />
materials and methods, manual and computeraided<br />
architectural drafting, survey drafting, elements of<br />
structures, and light construction principles. They learn<br />
structural fundamentals through the four-course sequence<br />
of statics, strength of materials, structural steel design, and<br />
reinforced concrete. Later, they investigate principles of<br />
construction management such as project control, scheduling,<br />
estimating, project safety, contracting, heavy construction,<br />
value engineering, and labor relations. In most<br />
courses students use leading industry architectural, scheduling,<br />
and estimating software. Graduates may be<br />
employed as Project Estimators, Project Schedulers,<br />
Assistant Project Managers, Construction Layout<br />
Specialists, or Senior Civil Technicians.<br />

Division<br />
Main Phone Number: (513) 569-1670<br />
The Health Technologies Division at <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong><br />
brings together in one unit all programs for the education<br />
and training of health personnel. When available, the<br />
Division’s programs are accredited or approved by their<br />
respective professional bodies.<br />
1<strong>03</strong>
The Health Technologies Division offers clinically intensive<br />
Associate’s degree and certificate programs that prepare<br />
students to perform immediately upon graduation.<br />
Prerequisite courses for all programs are available at<br />
<strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong>. Additionally, the Division offers special<br />
courses, workshops, seminars and forums at which participants<br />
can learn new skills, acquire new knowledge or<br />
update the knowledge and skills needed to perform effectively<br />
on the job. The Division affiliates with over fifty hospitals<br />
and other health care agencies and institutions to<br />
provide clinical experiences for health students.<br />
All students must complete the college orientation course<br />
CAR 9002, College Success Strategies, within the first 18<br />
credit hours taken at <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong>.<br />
Entrance Competencies<br />
In order to ensure a high degree of success in academic<br />
studies in health technologies, entering students must meet<br />
established academic levels in mathematics, communication<br />
skills, and reading comprehension. To aid in determining<br />
these levels, entering students are required to take<br />
COMPASS, the college admissions/placement test. If testing<br />
and previous academic background indicate that a student<br />
has not reached the necessary preparatory level, a<br />
divisional advisor will assist in preparing a program of<br />
classes to help the student reach those levels. Preparatory<br />
classes are available on a year-round basis.<br />
Cooperative Education<br />
The Health Division supports the College’s mission of providing<br />
a combination of theory and practice with its wellestablished<br />
tradition of including experience in the clinical<br />
setting as an integral part of the educational process. Both<br />
clinical and cooperative education components provide students<br />
with the practical experience they need to begin work<br />
immediately upon graduation. Refer to individual program<br />
descriptions below for specific information.<br />
Health Excel Services<br />
Health Excel provides <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> Health<br />
Technologies students with a comprehensive range of educational<br />
and professional support services to enhance classroom<br />
learning and assist in professional development.<br />
Support services available to students include special seminars;<br />
individualized tutorial assistance; career, personal, and<br />
financial counseling; job shadowing opportunities; mentoring;<br />
writing and study skills assistance; and development of<br />
a re-entry plan following failure in a technical program.<br />
1<strong>04</strong><br />
Bethesda Foundation Scholars Program<br />
The Bethesda Foundation Scholars Program is a joint<br />
venture with TriHealth and <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> Health<br />
Technologies Division. The Scholars Program helps to<br />
improve the employment status of residents served by<br />
Bethesda Oak Hospital who are unemployed or underemployed<br />
by focusing on post-secondary education.<br />
Participants receive special assistance in completing one<br />
of the approved health care degrees or certificates offered<br />
by the Health Technologies Division. Additionally, students<br />
who do not meet Federal guidelines for financial aid<br />
may be eligible for tuition, books, and fees through provisions<br />
of the Bethesda Foundation. Interested students<br />
should contact the Health Division’s Health Excel Services<br />
Coordinator for program admission criteria.<br />
Transfer Module<br />
The Ohio Board of Regents developed the transfer module<br />
to facilitate transfer of credits from one Ohio public<br />
college or university to another. The transfer module contains<br />
54 to 60 quarter hours of course credits in the areas<br />
of English, mathematics, arts and humanities, social and<br />
behavioral sciences, natural and physical sciences, and<br />
interdisciplinary studies. A transfer module completed at<br />
one college or university automatically meets the requirements<br />
for the transfer module at another college or university<br />
once the student is admitted. For additional information,<br />
see the “<strong>State</strong> of Ohio Policy for Institutional<br />
Transfer” and the “Transfer Module” sections of the<br />
College catalog.<br />
Associate’s degree programs in the Health Technologies<br />
Division contain in their curriculums many of the required<br />
courses for the <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> Transfer Module. Students<br />
who wish to complete the transfer module should schedule<br />
the additional courses at their convenience. Students<br />
who transfer to an Ohio public university for baccalaureate<br />
degrees will find that the <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> Associate of<br />
Applied Science degree, combined with a transfer module<br />
showing grades of “C” or higher, receives preferential consideration<br />
at the receiving institution.<br />
Clinical Laboratory Technician Program<br />
(CLT)<br />
Program Chair - Janelle Gohn, MT (ASCP)<br />
Clinical Laboratory Technicians work closely with physicians,<br />
providing much of the information needed to diagnose<br />
and treat patients. They work in the laboratories of<br />
hospitals, clinics, research centers, and industry. In clinical<br />
chemistry, hematology, microbiology, and blood bank laboratories<br />
they form a vital part of the health care team.<br />
The Clinical Laboratory Technician program is an<br />
Associate of Applied Science degree program that includes<br />
two unpaid clinical laboratory rotations and four terms of<br />
paid parallel cooperative employment. The program is<br />
accredited by the National Accrediting Agency for Clinical<br />
Laboratory Sciences (NAACLS), 8410 West Bryn Mawr<br />
Avenue, Suite 670, Chicago, IL 60631, (773) 714-8880.<br />
Clinical Laboratory Technicians employed in a laboratory,<br />
hospital, or clinic may specialize in one or two of the<br />
several areas of laboratory work or may rotate through all<br />
the departments in the laboratory. In clinical chemistry<br />
they perform chemical analysis of the blood for constituents,<br />
including glucose, urea, chloride, sodium, potassium,<br />
and enzymes. In hematology they take blood samples<br />
from patients; count red and white cells; determine<br />
coagulation, bleeding, and prothrombin times; measure<br />
sedimentation rates; and determine hemoglobin concentrations.<br />
In microbiology they prepare and stain slides;<br />
grow and identify the cause of infectious disease; determine<br />
the susceptibility of bacteria to antibiotics; and<br />
examine specimens for parasites. In immunohematology,<br />
they process and prepare donor blood for transfusions. In<br />
the serology department they examine specimens for antibodies<br />
against various diseases.
Successful completion of the curriculum qualifies students<br />
to apply to take a national certification exam.<br />
Graduates may apply to the American Society for Clinical<br />
Pathology Board of Registry to obtain certification as a<br />
Medical Laboratory Technician, MLT (ASCP), or the<br />
National Certification Agency for Medical Laboratory<br />
Personnel to obtain certification as a Clinical Laboratory<br />
Technician, CLT (NCA).<br />

Fire Service Technology Program (FST)<br />
Advisor - Phil Vossmeyer, C, P/F<br />
The Fire Service Technology program provides entrylevel<br />
firefighting and EMT training to those seeking firefighter<br />
careers and advanced training and leadership skills<br />
for firefighters who wish to advance in their careers.<br />
Graduates earn an Associate of Applied Science degree.<br />
The scope of fire service encompasses many needs of<br />
communities served. Many demands, small and large, are<br />
placed on fire service providers. Removing a bird’s nest<br />
from a light fixture and extricating injured victims from a<br />
vehicle collision are examples of day-to-day details handled<br />
by fire departments. Fire personnel must therefore be<br />
trained and then cross-trained in diverse subject areas.<br />

Medical Assistant Technology Program<br />
(MAC and MA)<br />
Program Chair - Olivia Watts, RN<br />
Medical Assistants are multicompetent, multiskilled professionals<br />
who perform administrative, clinical, and management<br />
functions. They keep up with the dynamic<br />
changes in health care and medical practice organizations.<br />
The Medical Assistant Program prepares students to work<br />
in physicians’ offices providing patient care, performing<br />
administrative tasks, and managing the medical office.<br />
Administrative tasks include: filing, scheduling appointments,<br />
handling correspondence, maintaining patient<br />
records, office management, billing, bookkeeping, and<br />
completing insurance forms. Clinical tasks involve: taking<br />
and recording medical histories, preparing patients for<br />
examinations, assisting with examinations and office surgeries,<br />
and measuring vital signs, performing therapeutic<br />
and diagnostic tests, and giving injections. Graduates earn<br />
an Associate of Applied Science degree. As managers,<br />
Medical Assistants manage patient care, office personnel,<br />
and physician’s time.<br />
Students may earn the Medical Assistant technical certificate<br />
(MAC) in one year. Students who take additional<br />
courses may earn the Medical Assistant Clinical Specialist<br />
Associate’s degree (MA). The first year of the degree program<br />
is identical to the curriculum of the certificate program.<br />
Students in both the degree and certificate programs<br />
must complete supervised clinical practices or externships<br />
to develop Medical Assistant competencies. Graduates of<br />
the degree and the certificate programs are eligible to take<br />
the examination to become a Certified Medical Assistant<br />
(CMA). The Medical Assistant Program holds a probationary<br />
accreditation status from the Commission on Accreditation<br />
of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP).<br />

Multi-Competency Health Technician<br />
Program (MCH)<br />
Program Chair - Daphne Robinson, RHIT<br />
The Multi-Competency Health Technician program offers<br />
a flexible, innovative curriculum that meets the needs of a<br />
changing health care marketplace. While working toward<br />
the completion of a two-year Associate of Applied Science<br />
degree students learn to perform multiple functions in<br />
more than one discipline.<br />
While few employment advertisements read, “Multi-<br />
Competent Health Technician wanted,” there are many<br />
jobs requiring multiple skills. Most graduates practice in<br />
the area of one of their completed certificates while some<br />
manage two allied departments. Others obtain leadership<br />
roles in the certificate area they emphasized as students.<br />
Graduates work in acute care hospitals, subacute care<br />
centers, ambulatory care settings, community health care<br />
centers, health maintenance organizations, physician<br />
offices and clinics, retirement facilities, and long-term care<br />
facilities.<br />

situation before entering the first nursing course. Students<br />
who are convicted of possession and/or distribution of<br />
controlled substances, or have positive drug screens for<br />
non-prescription controlled substances while enrolled in<br />
the program will be automatically dismissed.<br />
A special track for Licensed Practical Nurses (NURP)<br />
with recent experience in hospitals or skilled long-term<br />
facilities exists, and those interested in this track should<br />
request information through the pre-technology nursing<br />
advisor or NURP coordinator.<br />

centers, or those organizations directed to maintain<br />
health and socialization. The graduate demonstrates<br />
entry-level competency in analyzing activities and their<br />
application to patient needs; occupational therapy concepts<br />
and skills (daily living skills, group activities, media<br />
used in treatment, and adaptive equipment); direction of<br />
activity programs; department operation management;<br />
data collection; self understanding and the realization of<br />
the effect that one’s behavior has on the patient/client and<br />
others; upholding the standards of the profession; identifying<br />
the need for continuing professional education and<br />
growth; and relating occupational therapy to the total<br />
health care system.<br />
The mission of this program is to meet community manpower<br />
needs, to prepare graduates for entry-level practice<br />
in the community, to educate the community, and to function<br />

Humanities Division<br />
Main Phone Number: (513) 569-1700<br />
The Humanities Division recognizes that each student<br />
has a unique combination of attitudes, beliefs, values, and<br />
experiences. The Humanities Division’s courses enable<br />
students to understand the forces that shape them, especially<br />
in the psychological, social, and economic areas,<br />
and provide tools that assist students either in controlling<br />
or adapting to these forces.<br />
Foremost among these tools is effective communication,<br />
both oral and written. Therefore, the Division offers a<br />
number of courses that enhance communication skills by<br />
122
developing critical thinking techniques and the ability to<br />
present information in a clear, organized manner. To set<br />
the stage for success in the college experience, degreeseeking<br />
students are required to complete the college orientation<br />
course CAR 9002, College Success Strategies,<br />
within the first 18 credit hours taken at <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong>.<br />
The Humanities Division offers the following degrees:<br />
Associate of Arts, Associate of Applied Science in Early<br />
Childhood Care and Education, Associate of Applied<br />
Science in Interpreter Training, and Associate of Technical<br />
Study in Law Enforcement. The Division also offers the<br />
four certificate programs described below.<br />
Entrance Competencies<br />
In order to ensure a high degree of success in academic<br />
studies in Humanities, entering students must meet established<br />
academic levels in mathematics, communication<br />
skills, and reading comprehension. To aid in determining<br />
these levels, entering students are required to take COM-<br />
PASS, the college admissions/placement test. If testing and<br />
previous academic background indicate that a student has<br />
not reached the necessary preparatory level, a divisional<br />
advisor will assist in preparing a program of classes to<br />
help the student reach those levels. Preparatory classes are<br />
available on a year-round basis.<br />
Cooperative Education<br />
The Humanities Division shares the College's commitment<br />
to cooperative education as an integral part of the<br />
curriculum. Cooperative education allows students to<br />
apply concepts learned in the classroom with practical,<br />
hands-on experience in full-time or part-time on-site work<br />
environments. In some cases, degree-seeking students with<br />
prior work experience related to their post-baccalaureate<br />
career goals may be eligible to receive credit through the<br />
standard College procedures for granting Advanced<br />
Standing Credit. The program chair and cooperative education<br />
coordinator must approve all substitutions in<br />
advance.<br />
For eligibility requirements, co-op registration policies,<br />
and other issues related to cooperative education, please<br />
refer to the “Cooperative Education” section of the catalog<br />
on pages 27 and 28.<br />
The Writing Center<br />
The Writing Center provides full-service tutoring to<br />
<strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> students. Tutors are available by appointment<br />
or walk-in to help provide guidance to students in all<br />
facets of the writing process.<br />
Individualized composition courses are offered in the<br />
Writing Center. For individualized courses, students meet<br />
one-on-one with the course instructor to review material<br />
and complete assignments. The individualized courses<br />
offered each term are designated as course type "I" in class<br />
schedules.<br />
Transfer Module<br />
The Ohio Board of Regents developed the transfer module<br />
to facilitate transfer of credits from one Ohio public<br />
college or university to another. The transfer module contains<br />
54 to 60 quarter hours of course credits in the areas<br />
of English, mathematics, arts and humanities, social and<br />
behavioral sciences, natural and physical sciences, and<br />
interdisciplinary studies. A transfer module completed at<br />
one college or university automatically meets the requirements<br />
for the transfer module at another college or university<br />
once the student is admitted. For additional information,<br />
see the "<strong>State</strong> of Ohio Policy for Institutional Transfer"<br />
and the "Transfer Module" sections of the College catalog.<br />
The Associate of Arts degree contains all of the required<br />
courses for the transfer module, and the two Associate of<br />
Applied Science degrees contain many of the required<br />
courses. Students may schedule additional courses needed<br />
to complete the transfer module at their convenience.<br />
Students who transfer to an Ohio public university for baccalaureate<br />
degrees will find that an Associate of Arts<br />
degree or an Associate of Applied Science degree, combined<br />
with a transfer module showing grades of "C" or<br />
higher, leads to preferential consideration at the receiving<br />
institution.<br />

Information<br />
Technologies Division<br />
Main Phone Number: (513) 569-1743<br />
<strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong>’s Information Technologies Division provides<br />
business, industry, and organizations that depend on<br />
information technology (IT) with skilled professionals and<br />
technicians to support their IT efforts. The Information<br />
Technologies Division includes degree and certificate programs<br />
that have been offered at <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> for many<br />
years, in addition to new degree programs that address<br />
emerging information technology areas.<br />
The Information Technologies division offers nine<br />
Associate of Applied Science degrees, three Associate of<br />
Applied Business degrees, and four certificate programs.<br />
These programs encompass the four occupational cluster<br />
areas defined by the <strong>State</strong> of Ohio’s plan “itWorks.Ohio.”<br />
The Joint Council of the Ohio Board of Regents and the<br />
<strong>State</strong> Board of Education developed this comprehensive<br />
plan to keep Ohio-educated students in secondary<br />
schools, colleges, and universities on the leading edge of<br />
IT knowledge and skills.<br />
The four IT occupational cluster areas and the corresponding<br />
<strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> degree programs include:<br />
• Information Services and Support. This area includes<br />
degree programs in Computer Information Systems,<br />
PC Support and Administration, and Database<br />
Management Systems Technology. A separate major in<br />
Database Administration is also available.<br />
• Multimedia Information Design. This area includes<br />
degree programs in Audio/Video Production,<br />
Computer Graphics, Technical Communication, and<br />
Web Design. All four programs prepare students to<br />
create and produce digitally generated or computerenhanced<br />
products used in business, education, entertainment,<br />
communication, and many other fields. The<br />
Multimedia Information Design area also offers certificate<br />
programs in Electronic Publishing and in<br />
Technical Communication.<br />
In addition to the other entrance requirements<br />
(described later in this section), students in the<br />
Multimedia Information Design programs must<br />
demonstrate keyboarding competency of a minimum<br />
20 words per minute. Students who do not meet<br />
entrance competencies must enroll in skill-building<br />
courses.<br />
• Network Systems. This area includes degree programs<br />
in Computer Network Engineering Technology and<br />
Network Administration. Students may select an<br />
emphasis in network hardware, network software, or<br />
network administration.<br />
• Programming and Software Development. This area<br />
includes two degree programs. Business Computer<br />
Programming emphasizes designing, developing, testing,<br />
and maintaining computer software and systems.<br />
Software Engineering Technology includes studying<br />
computer operating systems, programming languages,<br />
and software development while preparing students<br />
for transfer to Bachelor’s degree programs in<br />
Computer Science and related fields.<br />
All Information Technologies Division students must<br />
complete the college orientation course CAR 9002,<br />
College Success Strategies, within the first 18 credit hours<br />
taken at <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong>.<br />
Entrance Competencies<br />
In order to ensure a high degree of success in academic<br />
studies in information technologies, entering students must<br />
meet established academic levels in mathematics, communication<br />
skills, and reading comprehension. To aid in<br />
determining these levels, entering students are required to<br />
take COMPASS, the college admissions/placement test. If<br />
testing and previous academic background indicate that a<br />
student has not reached the necessary preparatory level, a<br />
divisional advisor will assist in preparing a program of<br />
classes to help the student reach those levels. Preparatory<br />
classes are available on a year-round basis.<br />
Students entering programs in the Information<br />
Technologies Division must demonstrate competence with<br />
commonly used software applications and with basic<br />
Internet operations. Students may be asked to demonstrate<br />
these competencies through standardized skills assessment<br />
tests or by completing prerequisite courses, if necessary.<br />
Program advisors assist students in determining whether<br />
they meet minimum competencies.<br />
Cooperative Education<br />
Through the cooperative education program, the<br />
Information Technologies Division provides instruction<br />
that combines classroom learning with practical hands-on<br />
experience in business and industry environments.<br />
127
Cooperative education is an integral part of IT programs,<br />
and degree-seeking students are required to participate in<br />
co-op work experiences. In a few highly competitive<br />
career areas students may have an opportunity to participate<br />
in unpaid internships to gain work experience.<br />
Transfer Module<br />
The Ohio Board of Regents developed the transfer module<br />
to facilitate transfer of credits from one Ohio public<br />
college or university to another. The transfer module contains<br />
54 to 60 quarter hours of course credits in the areas<br />
of English, mathematics, arts and humanities, social and<br />
behavioral sciences, natural and physical sciences, and<br />
interdisciplinary studies. A transfer module completed at<br />
one college or university automatically meets the requirements<br />
for the transfer module at another college or university<br />
once the student is admitted. For additional information,<br />
see the “<strong>State</strong> of Ohio Policy for Institutional<br />
Transfer” and the “Transfer Module” sections of the<br />
College catalog.<br />
Associate’s degree programs in the Information<br />
Technologies Division contain in their curriculums many<br />
of the required courses for the <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> transfer<br />
module. Students may schedule the additional courses<br />
needed to complete the transfer module at their convenience.<br />
Students who transfer to an Ohio public university<br />
for baccalaureate degrees will find that a <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong><br />
Associate of Applied Business or Associate of Applied<br />
Science degree, combined with a transfer module showing<br />
grades of “C” or higher, leads to preferential consideration<br />
at the receiving institution.<br />

Sciences Division<br />
Main Phone Number: (513) 569-1700<br />
Sciences Division faculty are prepared for and dedicated<br />
to fulfilling the following Divisional goals:<br />
• teaching the principles of physics, chemistry, and<br />
mathematics considered basic to successful studies in<br />
science-dependent fields such as engineering technologies,<br />
health technologies, science and health laboratory<br />
sciences, or technical business services.<br />
• teaching the principles of physics, chemistry, and<br />
mathematics considered essential to successful science<br />
studies within liberal arts programs.<br />
• providing in-depth instruction which prepares students<br />
for Bachelor’s degree studies in scientific or mathe-<br />
137
matical fields after obtaining an Associate of Science<br />
degree at <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong>.<br />
Most students who earn an Associate of Science degree<br />
continue their studies at a four-year college or university.<br />
Due to the Sciences Division’s commitment to the integration<br />
of language and reading skills, mathematics, and the<br />
understanding of scientific principles to provide a comprehensive<br />
problem-solving approach to learning, these students<br />
are well prepared to further their studies.<br />
The Sciences Division emphasizes laboratory experiences,<br />
particularly in the laboratory-based chemistry and<br />
physics departments. Through observation and manipulation<br />
of laboratory materials, students gain genuine understanding<br />
of physical laws, concepts, and hypotheses and<br />
have opportunities to learn to use their own ingenuity<br />
while investigating and reporting on scientific issues and<br />
phenomena.<br />
Mathematics and Science Readiness<br />
Recommendations for <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> students concerning<br />
enrollment in mathematics and science courses are<br />
determined according to the readiness of each student.<br />
Readiness is determined during the admissions process<br />
through assessment testing and advisor interviews.<br />
Students who need to enhance skills prior to enrolling in<br />
college-level courses are assisted in selecting appropriate<br />
Developmental Education courses described elsewhere in<br />
this catalog. As a result, opportunities for students to be<br />
successful in their mathematics and science studies are<br />
greatly enhanced.<br />
Cooperative Education<br />
The Sciences Division shares <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong>’s commitment<br />
to cooperative education as an integral part of the<br />
curriculum. Cooperative education allows students to<br />
apply concepts learned in the classroom with practical,<br />
hands-on experience in real (full- or part-time) on-site<br />
work environments. In some cases, degree-seeking students<br />
with prior work experience related to their post-baccalaureate<br />
career goals may be eligible to receive credit<br />
through the standard College procedures for granting<br />
Advanced Standing Credit. The program chair and cooperative<br />
education coordinator must approve all substitutions<br />
in advance.<br />
For eligibility requirements, co-op registration policies,<br />
and other issues related to cooperative education, please<br />
refer to the “Cooperative Education” section of the catalog<br />
on pages 27 and 28.<br />
Transfer Module<br />
The Ohio Board of Regents developed the transfer module<br />
to facilitate transfer of credits from one Ohio public<br />
college or university to another. The transfer module contains<br />
54 to 60 quarter hours of course credits in the areas<br />
of English, mathematics, arts and humanities, social and<br />
behavioral sciences, natural and physical sciences, and<br />
interdisciplinary studies. A transfer module completed at<br />
one college or university automatically meets the requirements<br />
for the transfer module at another college or university<br />
once the student is admitted. For additional information,<br />
see the "<strong>State</strong> of Ohio Policy for Institutional Transfer"<br />
and the "Transfer Module" sections of the College catalog.<br />
The Associate of Science degree contains all of the<br />
required courses for the transfer module. Students who<br />
transfer to an Ohio public university for baccalaureate<br />
degrees will find that an Associate of Science degree leads<br />
to preferential consideration at the receiving institution.<br />
Associate of<br />
Individualized Study<br />
In order to meet the particular career education needs of<br />
qualified students, <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> offers the Associate of<br />
Individualized Study (AIS) degree. This degree can be pursued<br />
by students whose career objectives cannot be met<br />
through one of the associate degree programs offered by<br />
the College.<br />
To apply for acceptance into an AIS degree program, students<br />
should follow these steps:<br />
1. Contact the Dean of Humanities and Sciences.<br />
2. Complete an admissions application.<br />
3. Have a copy of their high school transcript and<br />
college transcript, if applicable, sent directly to the<br />
College's Admission Records Office. Applicants who have<br />
a GED should submit a copy of the scores.<br />
4. Take the college placement test, COMPASS.<br />
5. Meet with an admissions counselor who will<br />
direct the student to the academic division which will be<br />
responsible for the AIS program.<br />
6. Consult with the assigned academic advisor who<br />
will assist the student in planning the AIS curriculum.<br />
7. Write a justification of the degree program,<br />
including a statement of career goals and an explanation<br />
of why another associate degree program would not be<br />
appropriate.<br />
The program justification and curriculum must be sent to<br />
the Academic Policies and Curriculum Committee (APCC)<br />
for approval. The APCC may approve the request, suggest<br />
modifications in the curriculum, or deny the request. If<br />
the AIS program proposal is denied, the student may wish<br />
to apply to another academic program.<br />
Associate of<br />
Technical Study<br />
Associate of Technical Study:<br />
Type A Program<br />
This program enables the student to receive college credit<br />
for qualified industry training and to choose courses<br />
from two or more existing <strong>Cincinnati</strong> <strong>State</strong> associate<br />
degree programs and thereby design a personalized curriculum.<br />
All ATS-Type A program curricula must be<br />
approved by the Academic Policies and Curriculum<br />
Committee.<br />
For more information concerning the Associate of<br />
Technical Study-Type A program, contact the Dean of<br />
Humanities and Sciences.<br />
138
Associate of Technical Study:<br />
Type B Program<br />
This program helps the College to develop associate<br />
degree programs in partnership with professional organizations<br />
and helps business/industrial firms with staff development<br />
programs by equating their training activity to a<br />
block of college credit.<br />
A College review committee will examine the training<br />
program offered by an organization in order to determine<br />
if it qualifies for inclusion. All ATS-Type B curricula must<br />
be approved by the Academic Policies and Curriculum<br />
Committee.<br />
When implemented, each program accommodates students<br />
transferring from an educational program which lies<br />
outside the traditional collegial domain. The degree gives<br />
recognition to the training of the professionals while<br />
enabling them to experience the broadening and enriching<br />
components of a college education.<br />
