Ohio Administrative Code › Title 3358:5 - Clark State College › Chapter 3358:5-7 - Academic Policies › Section 3358:5-7-01 - Class attendance policy

Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
(A) The curricula of all technologies at
			 Clark state college have defined academic and technical skill performance
			 levels. Creating the learning environment is the responsibility of faculty.
			 Achievement of the performance levels is the responsibility of the
			 student.
(B) The enforcement of any
			 attendance system is primarily a matter between the instructor and the student.
			 Participation should be promulgated on the first day of class to enable
			 students to understand specific regulations. In their own interest and that of
			 the student, instructors are urged to keep class attendance participation
			 records.
(C) Steady and gradual
			 progress toward achievement of academic goals is best accomplished through
			 regular class participation. Therefore, students are expected to attend all
			 class and laboratory sessions. When unavoidable absences do occur, students
			 shall take the responsibility to contact the instructor to make arrangements
			 for work that has been missed. Students should be aware that depending on the
			 nature of the assignment and class policies, not all work can be made
			 up.
(D) Excessive absences and work
			 that cannot or has not been made up may adversely affect the student's grade in
			 a class. Instructors have the right to issue a lower grade, which may be a
			 failing grade, to students who incur excessive absences and who have not
			 officially withdrawn from the course. When a student has been absent to such an
			 extent to cause inefficient performance, the student shall be reported to
			 counseling through the early alert system. If absence is so excessive that it
			 precludes satisfactory progress toward successful completion of the course, the
			 records office may notify and drop the student from the course with a grade of
			 "F" with the authorization of the academic dean of the division from which the
			 course is offered.
(E) If a student
			 has never attended class through the fourteenth day of the semester, faculty
			 are required to submit notification to the records office via the WebAdvisor
			 system. The records office shall notify and drop the student from the course.
			 All tuition and fees for the course shall be removed from the student's
			 financial record. When a student stops attending class but never officially
			 drops the course, faculty shall assign a final grade of "UW" (unofficial
			 withdraw).
(F) The college is
			 required to report non-attendance to federal and state agencies that provide
			 financial assistance to students. Failure to attend classes may also result in
			 a student having to repay part or all of an allowance from the veterans
			 administration and/or from other sources of financial aid.

			 be viewed as a part of the student's educational experience. As such, they
			 should be presented in a variety of styles requiring the student to draw on his
			 or her ability to organize data, compare, make distinctions, and arrive at
			 warrantable conclusions. Final examinations are to be given according to the
			 published final exam schedule. Final examinations should cover the work of the
			 entire course and should be sufficiently comprehensive to challenge the
			 student's efforts during the entire time period assigned.

Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
(A)
								Clark state
			 college is committed to providing educational opportunities that promote
			 academic, professional and personal growth in students. Students are expected
			 to behave as responsible members of the college community and to be honest and
			 ethical in their academic work. Activities of academic dishonesty corrupt the
			 process of acquiring the knowledge and developing the skills necessary for
			 success in any profession; such activities are considered a violation of the
			 "Student Code of Conduct" and are therefore prohibited.
(B)
								Academic
			 integrity is the responsibility of both the student and the faculty.
(1)
									Faculty members
			 play an important role in maintaining academic standards. Faculty have multiple
			 opportunities to inform students about what academic dishonesty is, to teach
			 students ways to avoid unintentional infractions, to identify and confront
			 violators, and to serve as models of academic integrity. Faculty and students
			 come from a variety of backgrounds and cultures, giving rise to different
			 expectations or moral and ethical behavior. Well-defined and effectively
			 communicated standards in the classroom reduce uncertainty and clarify
			 expectations.
(2)
									Students must familiarize themselves with the college's
			 definition of academic dishonesty and with the faculty member's standards and
			 expectations as communicated on the course syllabus. Should a student have
			 questions about potential academic misconduct on an examination, test, quiz, or
			 other evaluated work, the student must contact the instructor for clarification
			 prior to completing the assignment.
Ohio Administrative Code › Title 3358:5 - Clark State College › Chapter 3358:5-7 - Academic Policies › Section 3358:5-7-12 - Prior learning assessment policy

Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
(A) Prior learning assessment (PLA) is a
			 process that enables learners to demonstrate what they have learned and
			 translate that learning into college credit. PLA validates knowledge acquired
			 through life experience, work experience, military experience, civic
			 engagement, individual study and reading, and participation in classes or
			 training sponsored by business and industry, professional organizations, and/or
			 government agencies. Credit is awarded for college-level knowledge gained from
			 experience and not for the experience itself. College-level learning is
			 validated through pla when learners prove their mastery of the knowledge,
			 skills, competencies, and abilities in a specific area of study offered by the
			 college.
(B) There are a variety of
			 third-party vendors that allow students to receive college credits in certain
			 courses. Requisite advanced placement criteria are determined by
			 vice president of academic affairs
								 in partnership with department faculty, division dean, or
			 designee. The types of prior learning examinations accepted by the college are
			 the following:
(1) Advanced placement (AP):
AP exams are a series of examinations developed by the college
				board for AP high school classes in various subject areas. Students who have
				taken a college board ap credit examination must have scored at least a three
				to receive appropriate course credit.
(2) College level examination program (CLEP):
CLEP assesses proficiency in general education through
				thirty-three tests in five subject areas.

Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
(A) Clark state college recognizes that in
			 the interest of the students it serves, a procedure is necessary whereby
			 students can be assured a prompt, impartial and fair hearing of their
			 grievances. Students who may have a grievance are provided this system to

Ohio Administrative Code › Title 3358:5 - Clark State College › Chapter 3358:5-9 - Student Policies In General › Section 3358:5-9-04 - Student fees and payment policy

Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
(A) Affordability is a major goal of
			 community colleges with the primary mission relating to specialized workforce
			 education and accessibility. Clark state  college endeavors to provide educational
			 opportunities for individuals of all economic backgrounds. The goal is to never
			 turn away a student solely based on finances. The college and the Clark state
			  college foundation provide
			 scholarships that benefit students who find the cost of tuition to be difficult
			 for them.
(B) The challenge of
			 fostering student access and success in higher education while maintaining or
			 improving the quality of the learning experience is something that the
			 president and trustees struggle with each year. Discussions have resulted in
			 innovative tuition policies resulting in differentiated tuition
			 rates.
(C) How tuition is
			 established and governed as well as the causes of tuition increases is
			 critically important for trustees to consider as post-secondary education
			 becomes more of a requirement for people to be financially successful and for
			 states and the nation to remain globally competitive in the twenty-first
			 century.
(D) Tuition is part of a
			 higher education finance system that links several key policies together,
			 rather than part of a stand-alone policy, represented by the sticker price of
			 the college. Tuition can be thought of as one leg of a three-legged higher
			 education finance stool, with the other two legs being state appropriations and
			 financial aid. As the size, shape and length of all three legs of a stool need
			 to be considered in concert to ensure stability and functionality, integrating
