instructors spend more time providing personal attention and

participative instruction.

We partner with local businesses. Our Advisory Boards help create

the program curriculum to meet the needs of local businesses for

high-skill, high-demand professions.

We are accredited. Accreditation means that our school has the

resources, instructors and leadership necessary to provide quality

training and education.

IV funds (Pell Grants), Stafford loans, GI Bill funding, and other local

grants.

Continuing Education Units (CEUs) Upon completion of the course, a certificate of completion with CEUs will

be issued to the individual. CEUs are calculated at .1 CEU for every hour

spent in class. The student receives the original certificate and the school

Transfer Policies Transferring Credits to Other Institutions

The State of Ohio’s articulation and college transfer efforts were expanded in

2005 with the Career-Technical Credit Transfer (CT)2 policy. (CT)2 provides

students in Adult Career & Technical Education’s career programs to transfer

credits to Ohio public colleges and universities.

(CT)2 helps more high school and adult career-technical students to go to

college and enter with college credit. Technical credit saves students money

and time, and Ohio businesses will benefit from more employees with higher

education and advanced skills.

School Policies Transfer Policies Franklin University is one of several colleges that work closely with Adult

Career & Technical Education to turn success in our career programs into

college credit. Students completing any full-time career programs can transfer

up to 24 credit hours toward a Franklin University Bachelor’s Degree.

Transferring Credits from Other Institutions

Credits can be transferred from other colleges and technical schools. The

number of credits will be determined by the Program Instructor and Dean of

Students based on a review of the student’s transcripts and the other

institution’s program syllabus.

Transferring From Other Institutions

Adult Community Education welcomes students that may desire to transfer

into one of its career programs from another college, university, or technical

school. The student must first complete all the admission requirements.

Transferring Between Programs

Our faculty and staff understand that student needs and desires may change

after enrolling in a career program. Students have the opportunity to transfer

between programs. Transfers are normally only allowed during the first

grading period. However, final decisions are made after a review of the

student’s performance in their current program, their future opportunity for

success in the new program, and any financial aid requirements.

Grading Policy

The following grading scale will be used for all programs (except for the

Practical Nurse Program. See the next section).

A Excellent 100% - 93%

B Very Good 92% - 85%

C Average 84% - 77%

F Failing 76% - 0%

I Incomplete

W Withdrawal

S Satisfactory

Student Grievance/Concern Policy The purpose of this policy is to provide students the opportunity to

communicate, in a structured manner, grievances or concerns they may have

regarding grades, attendance, personal conduct, faculty/staff conduct, or

other school-related matters.

Students must follow the escalation protocol below in order to communicate

the opportunity to communicate their grievance/concern to the appropriate

individual(s) in a timely manner.

Step 1. The student should document their grievance/concern and meet with

their Instructor within two (2) school days to discuss their grievance/concern.

If the student is not comfortable meeting with their Instructor, they should

meet with the Dean of Students.

Step 2. If the grievance/concern is not resolved in Step 1, the student should

schedule a meeting with the Dean of Students within three (3) school days.

This meeting may include the Instructor if appropriate.

provide a written request for an appeal to a Review Committee within ten (10)

school days. The Review Committee will consist of the following:

Adult Community Education Director

A Coordinator

Dean of Students

The Review Committee will then meet within five (5) school days of receiving
