Nurse Aide Cost Increase

The cost for taking nurse aide coursework is going up effective today. 

The tuition is being updated today (May 18) in BANNER to $1098.  Those students that are already registered (before May 18) for Nurse Aide classes starting in July will have their accounts adjusted by $200 by Amy Beth Martin after they begin class. If the student transfers classes they will be required to pay the additional $200.

Since the increase has been applied in Banner, from this point on any student registering for a Nurse Aide class will be charged the $1098 tuition. 

May Graduation Eligibility -- A Reflective Clarification

Due to some confusion resulting from who can participate in graduation ceremonies and whose name ends up in the graduation program, I want to refer you to the graduation website link.

Students are permitted to participate in the May commencement if they are planning on completing in the spring or summer semesters.

Anyone participating in the May commencement must meet the March 1st application deadline or his or her name will NOT be included in the commencement program. Therefore, if a student is borderline for graduating, it is recommended that he or she apply by the deadline, regardless.

Additionally, please know that we, just as most other colleges around the country, do sometimes have students walk in graduation who have not yet met the graduation requirements. A student's official "graduation status" is determined by the records office, not by participation in the ceremony.

Toledo Exam -- Placing in to CHEM 101

Workforce Development Phone Tree

This workforce development (WFD) phone tree may be helpful if you are directing students to WFD and they have questions other than those relating to registration/payment.

ALL QUESTIONS RELATING TO REGISTRATION OR PAYMENT FOR COURSES CAN BE DIRECTED TO OUR CAMPUS ENROLLMENT SERVICES OFFICES. 

If you transfer a student to WFD , please direct them to x212324 AND give them the student/customer 780-2324 number. 

ENGL 056ST Placement Update

After further discussion, the English department has decided NOT to change the placement scores that determine eligibility for ENGL 056ST.

Therefore, ENGL 056ST will still have the following qualifying scores:

• Reading -- a score between 47 - 57
  
• Writing  -- a score of 1 or 2

New Internship Course -- INTN 291

INTN 291 is a general internship seminar course – 3 credits- The requirement for the onsite internship hours is 135 hours.  (In addition, the coursework will average about an hour and a half a week.)

      INTN 291 is meant for a students who are exploring an area and want a hands-on experience or for students who know what they want, but their program or area of interest does not offer an internship.

      It is always important to review the student’s goals and major to see that this course will fit within their program.

      The pre-requisites for INTN 291 are 18 college level credits and a GPA of 2.5 or higher. (These requirements are based on the idea that the student is mature and academic enough for an internship.)

      The course is never to be a replacement for other internships, co-ops, etc. within a specific program (RE-BUS 291)

      Some wonderful things about this course include the following:

§  The student will work on professionalism, self-awareness, networking, LinkedIn, social media awareness, company, corporate and career research, develop a resume and utilize an e-portfolio.

For the process, the student will always need to contact Wendy Gillman before enrollment.  In addition, we will direct students to College Central Network for an internship and we will look to identify internships that can meet course qualifications for INTN 291.
