Guaranteed Education Policy (GEP)
Because Northwest State Community College believes in the strength and integrity of its educational programs, the College Board of Trustees is offering a two-year academic guarantee to its students, their employers, and education transfer institutions. If within two years of a students graduation, the employer or receiving institution deems the students performance to be unsatisfactory, the college will offer a tuition scholarship to repeat the coursework. The waiver will be for courses where the student did not meet the expectations of the employer or the receiving institution. (This guarantee will become effective for the Spring 2006 graduates.) How to enact guarantee: The employer or receiving institution must submit a letter indicating their lack of satisfaction expressing the following: specific knowledge and/or skills not demonstrated, details to assist in assessing students deficiencies, and details to assist in course improvement. Letters will be addressed and sent to the Chief Learning Officer. The referred student/employer or receiving institution will be contacted by the Chief Learning Officer to facilitate registration for the course or arrange other remediation or additional course content on a case-by-case basis. Students will not be limited as to how many classes they will be permitted to repeat or how many times they may need to repeat a course. The limiting factor is the 2 years past graduation.

Developmental Courses

Refresher courses are offered in reading, writing, and mathematics for students who need or desire preparation for college-level studies. These courses may be required on the basis of Compass Assessment scores or elected by students. Students with questions regarding their need for these courses should consult with the Testing Office or the Success Center for clarification. Please see the Course Description section of this catalog for more details.

Student Support Services

2006 - 2007 Library Resource Center
The Library has many services available for students. Services range from computerized access via NwLINK and OhioLINK to study space, audiovisuals, photocopy services, interlibrary loan and more. A student I.D. card is needed for checking out materials. For more information call: 2671272. The following services are available to enhance student research:

Last Date of Attendance

When a federal financial aid recipient withdraws from or stops attending all classes, the college is responsible for determining the student's last date of attendance for refund calculation purposes, as prescribed by federal regulations. Upon request, faculty will be required to report a student's last known date of attendance from attendance records kept, tests taken, or homework assignments received. Also, when assigning a grade of "F" or "U" as a final grade, the faculty member will be required to report the student's last date of attendance. All federal financial aid refunds will be calculated using the student's last date of attendance.
Satisfactory Academic Progress
Students receiving any form of federal financial aid must maintain satisfactory academic progress toward a degree objective. According to government regulations, failure to do so will result in federal financial aid being withheld until satisfactory academic progress has been reestablished. Students are maintaining satisfactory academic progress if they: 1. Successfully complete (with grades of A, B, C, D, S, or CR) at least 50% of all credit hours attempted in any semester, 2. Successfully complete (with grades of A, B, C, D, S, or CR) at least 50% of all credit hours attempted cumulatively, AND 3. Maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average as follows: Cr. Hrs. Attempted Cumulative GPA 1-15 1.4 16-30 1.6 31-45 1.8 46+ 2.0
Federal Financial Aid Refund Policy
Recipients of federal financial aid (grants and/or loans) will be required to repay all or a portion of aid received, if they withdraw from (or stop attending) all classes prior to the 60% point of the semester. The calculation for the return of these funds will result in the student owing a balance to the college.
Tuition and Fee Installment Plan
The Tuition and Fee Installment Plan (TIP) is an alternative to the single payment of fees due at the beginning of each semester. A nonrefundable service fee will be charged to students for the Tuition and Fee Installment Plan. Participants pay their fees in three installments. The first installment is due according to the published fee payment schedule, with the second and third payments due in approximately 30-day increments. The second and third installments are due on the same dates for all students regardless of when the first payment was made. It is the students' responsibility to know the payment due dates and to make payments on time, even though a statement may not have been received in the mail. A late fee of $15.00 will be added to an installment payment when payment is not received or made in office or via the web by the due date. Tuition, out-of-state, lab, student and late fees for fall and spring semester are covered by this program. The program is not offered for the summer term. Courses added after the first payment are not covered. Courses (including flexibly scheduled courses) paid for after late registration are not covered. Books, supplies, and noncredit tuition are not covered. Financial aid is deducted from total fees due before calculation of the payments. Financial aid finalized after the first payment is applied to the TIP balance due. The refund amount of a withdrawal from class is applied to the TIP balance due. Financial aid or withdrawal which results in an overpayment (after the TIP balance is covered in full) will be refunded to the student.

Refund of Student Fees

All withdrawals from class (es) must be in writing and are effective on the date received by the Registrar. The tuition and lab/material fee refund policy is shown below. Application, graduation, proficiency, and late fees are nonrefundable. The student fee is refunded if a complete drop is done during the 100% refund period. In extreme circumstances, tuition and lab/material fees may be refunded after the refund period. Documentation proving extreme circumstances must be submitted to the Registrar for consideration and final approval from the Student Services Committee.

Late Registration Fee

Late registration will be permitted during the first week of classes, or later with the approval of the instructor and division dean. A student who wishes to register late must first confer with a faculty advisor and departmental dean and present an approved program of courses to the Registrar's Office. A late registration fee of $15.00 will be charged.
Refund of Tuition & Lab/Material Fees
FALL AND SPRING SEMESTERS (16 weeks) Week 1 Week 2 Week 3 After Week 3 100% Refund 75% Refund 50% Refund No Refund SUMMER SEMESTER (8 weeks) Week 1 Week 2 After Week 2 100% Refund 50% Refund No Refund
The refund policy for flexibly scheduled classes is unique to each class. Please see the Registrar for details. Financial aid recipients should contact the Financial Aid Office if they plan to withdraw from (or stop attending) all classes during the semester.

Residency

2006 - 2007 Ohio Residency
The following persons shall be classified as residents of the state of Ohio for subsidy and tuition surcharge purposes:

Procedures

1. A dependent person classified as a resident of Ohio for these purposes and who is enrolled in an institution of higher education when his or her parents or legal guardian removes their residency from the state of Ohio shall continue to be considered a resident during continuous fulltime enrollment and until his or her completion of any one academic degree program. In considering residency, removal of the student or the student's parents or legal guardian from Ohio shall not, during a period of twelve months following such removal, constitute relinquishment of Ohio residency status otherwise established under paragraph 1 or 2 of this rule. For students who qualify for residency status under paragraph 3 (of Ohio Residency), residency status is lost immediately if the employed person upon whom resident student status was based accepts employment and establishes domicile outside Ohio less than twelve months after accepting employment and establishing domicile in Ohio. Any person once classified as a nonresident, upon the completion of twelve consecutive months of residency, must apply to NSCC for reclassification as a resident of Ohio for these purposes if such person in fact wants to be reclassified as a resident. Should such person present clear and convincing proof that no part of his or her financial support is or in the preceding twelve consecutive months has been provided directly or indirectly by persons or entities who are not residents of Ohio for all other legal purposes, such person shall be reclassified as a resident. Any reclassification of a person who was once classified as a nonresident for these purposes shall have prospective application only from the date of such reclassification. Any institution of higher education charged with reporting student enrollment to the Ohio Board of Regents for state subsidy purposes and assessing the tuition surcharge shall provide individual students with a fair and adequate opportunity to present proof of his or her Ohio residency for the purposes of this rule. Such an institution may require the submission of affidavits and other documentary evidence which it may deem necessary to a full and complete determination under this rule.

This program has a diversified audience. It is naturally intended for related trades students who have completed a four-year apprenticeship program leading to a journeyman's card. It provides them the opportunity to count apprentice coursework toward an associate degree in Industrial Technology. The degree/certificate program can be used by anyone as a springboard into a career as a journeyman by using the certificate as leverage into a company that has an apprenticeship/training program, since it contains more than the contact hours required for related classroom hours in an apprenticeship program. The Millwright is a builder of machines and a service person in the machine shop. He/she fabricates new equipment, such as conveyor or transfer machines, or may recondition or modify existing equipment. Career Outlook One could use the two-year degree to pursue jobs in leadership, management, or the business field and apply it towards a four-year Bachelor's degree in the same fields. As an example, anyone with journeyman status wanting to become a supervisor in an industrial setting, such leadership courses would achieve this goal. Openings for millwrights will stem primarily from replacing workers who leave the field or workers who will be retiring. About three-quarters of millwrights work in manufacturing with about one-quarter working in construction. Therefore, positions for millwrights will be found mainly in areas where there is a large amount of manufacturing. PROGRAM LEARNING OUTCOMES + Students earning an Associate degree from this program should demonstrate: 1. 2. 3.
