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.

School Policies Class Cancellations You will be notified by phone if your class is cancelled. Unscheduled school

closings (snow days, etc.) will be announced on WHBC AM 1480 and FM

94.1, and posted on the Canton City School District website

(www.ccsdistrict.org). When the Canton City School District is closed due to

inclement weather, there will be NO Adult Career & Technical Education

classes. Classes are offered on the cost recovery basis and we reserve the

right to cancel a class due to insufficient enrollment.

Withdrawal Policy Students planning to withdraw from the school must discuss the intention

with the Financial Aid Coordinator, Program Instructor, and Dean of Students

and submit a letter.

The letter should include the date, reason for withdrawing, and the

student's signature.

Students receiving financial aid other than Pell must contact the funding

source (i.e., WIA, TAA, BVR) prior to withdrawal.

Nonattendance does not constitute an official withdrawal. If a student

fails to return to school without notification and exceeds his/her

attendance requirements, the student will be notified in writing of

his/her dismissal from the program as well as any financial obligations

the student may still owe.

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

does NOT keep a copy. Duplicates can be issued at a cost of $10.

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).

School Policies

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

their grievance/concern. This protocol ensures that the student is afforded

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.

Step 3. If the grievance/concern is not resolved in Step 2, depending on the

program, the student should schedule a meeting with the ACTE Curriculum

Coordinator or LPN Coordinator within three (3) school days. This meeting

may include the Instructor and/or Dean of Students if appropriate. A written

response with resolutions or recommendation will be provided to the student

within three (3) school days.

Step 4. If the grievance/concern is not resolved in Step 3, the student should

schedule a meeting with the Adult Community Education Director within three

(3) school days. This meeting may include the Instructor, Dean of Students

and/or Coordinator if appropriate. All those present at this meeting will sign a

documentation form to validate accuracy of what was said at the meeting. A

written response with resolutions or recommendation will be provided to the

student within five (5) school days.

Step 5. If the grievance/concern is not resolved in Step 4, the student may

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

the written request. A written response with resolutions or recommendation

will be provided to the student within three (3) school days. The decision at

Step 5 is binding and concludes the Grievance/Concern Policy.
