each year by visiting studentaid.gov. Students submitting a FAFSA

for the first time or who last applied before May 2015 must create an

FSA ID. The FSA ID is used every year to electronically sign the

FAFSA. Financial aid offers are determined by the information

provided on the FAFSA.

The following documents are needed to complete the 2023-2024

FAFSA:

Dependent Students:

• Student's 2021 IRS Form 1040, including all schedules

• Student's 2021 W2(s)

• Student's 2021 Untaxed income received

• Student's social security number, driver's license/state ID

number

(child support, workers' compensation, disability benefits,

etc.).

When should I apply? Apply as early as possible each year. The

FAFSA is available on October 1 for the following academic year.

March 1 is the annual priority date established by Sinclair. If students

submit the FAFSA after the priority date, they may be required to pay

up-front for tuition and books. If students receive a financial aid offer

after they have paid tuition, Sinclair can arrange for students to be

reimbursed up to the amount of the award.

Some scholarships will require additional applications, available

online or from the Financial Aid & Scholarships office. The office

also offers scholarship applications online at

www.sinclair.edu/scholarships. The dates for these applications are

as follows:

Fall Term scholarship applications are available from June 1 to

June 30

Spring Term scholarship applications are available from November

1 to November 30

Summer Term scholarship applications are available from March 1

to March 31

The financial aid process can take four to six weeks to complete,

depending on individual circumstances and the student's response to

Sinclair's request for verification documents. Please plan accordingly.

Results of Financial Aid Application

If otherwise eligible for federal financial aid, Financial Aid Offers are

sent to the Sinclair student email accounts beginning in March for

courses beginning in Fall 2022. The following offers must be

accepted before funds will be available:

• Federal Direct Loans

• Federal Work Study

Visit your Financial Aid Portal to review your awards. If your award

package includes Federal Direct Loans, you may accept or decline

them here. If you accept loans, visit studentaid.gov to complete your

loan requirements.

New student loan borrowers must complete Entrance Counseling

before receiving a Federal Direct Loan. New student and parent

Federal Direct Loan borrowers must complete a Loan Agreement

(MPN) prior to receiving a Federal Direct Loan, which is valid for 10

years.

Payment of Aid: Students' financial aid will first be credited toward

payment of tuition and fees, and then for books. Look for the amount

of aid on your term statement after you have registered for classes

each term.

First-year (less than 30 credit hours), first-time borrowers are subject

to a 30-day waiting period after the start of the semester, before their

loans will be disbursed. Information regarding the frequency of

disbursements, including dates, is available online at:

Important Note: Federal Aid received at another institution may affect the amount of aid a student is eligible for at Sinclair and it is the

responsibility of the student to only accept aid for which he or she is eligible with regard to annual limits. Students should contact the Financial Aid

& Scholarships office with any questions concerning aid amounts and eligibility.

Financial Aid Student Attendance Policy

Federal regulations require that the Financial Aid & Scholarships

office establish an attendance policy to govern a student's eligibility

to receive federal student aid for a given semester. The Sinclair

policy requires the Financial Aid & Scholarships office to verify that

students establish attendance through academic engagement during

the first 14 days of the following terms to receive federal financial

aid:

• Full-term

• A Term

• 12-Week Term

• B Term

Attendance is verified for flex sections by the final grade earned for

that course. Flex sections are defined as sections that are not full-

term, A, B, C or D terms or the 12-week term. Unearned grades are

grades of "Z," which equates to a student never attending, "W", and a

"U" or "F" with a last date of attendance.

Sinclair allows instructors to establish an academic attendance policy

for each course they teach, which may be different from the Financial

Aid Student Attendance Policy. Federal student aid is based on the

Financial Aid Student Attendance Policy even if the academic

attendance policy reports a different result.

Federal Pell Grant and Federal SEOG must be adjusted for students

who have not established attendance in all courses through the first

14 days of the class, or in accordance with the provision for

extenuating circumstances described below. Federal Direct Loans

may be adjusted for students who have not established attendance in

one or more classes. Per federal regulations, Direct Loans must be

removed completely if students do not establish attendance in at least

one class. Students reported as non-attending are typically not

withdrawn from the course.

Academic Policy Exceptions

There are exceptions to the Financial Aid Student Attendance Policy

because of directives from outside entities.

The Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections (ODRC)

requires attendance to be taken for all Prison Education Programs

(PEP). Our current policy determines that attendance must be

established within 14 days of the first day of class. Per the ODRC

policy, we will extend this timeframe to 15 days for all PEP

programs. If the student does not begin attendance in all registered

classes, the Pell Grant must be recalculated based on the student's

revised enrollment status.

The Ohio Peace Officer Training Commission (OPOTA) also

requires attendance to be taken for the Criminal Justice

Training/Police Academy. There are no issues with our current

policy that attendance must be established within 14 days of the start

of class.

The Financial Aid & Scholarships office must be notified as soon as

possible by representatives from the Advanced Job Training Office

(AJT) for PEP programs and from the Criminal Justice Department

for the Police Academy if a student stops attending, but no later than

14 days after the student's last date of attendance. There are limited

exceptions to the 14-day rule such as a natural disaster or the

instructor has an unusual circumstance that kept them from taking

and reporting attendance within a timely manner. Per Volume 5 of

the Federal Student Aid Handbook, the school is expected to have

determined whether the student intends to return to classes or to

withdraw after 14 days. If the student is eventually determined to

have withdrawn, the end of the 14-day period begins the timeframe

for completing a Return of Title IV (R2T4) calculation.

Academic Engagement

Academic Engagement includes but is not limited to:

• Physically attending a class where there is an opportunity

for direct interaction between the instructor and students

• Submitting an academic assignment

• Taking an exam, an interactive tutorial, or computer-

assisted instruction

• Attending a study group assigned by the school

• Participating in an online discussion about academic

matters and

• Initiating contact with a faculty member to ask a question

about the academic subject studied in the course.

The definition of academic engagement does not include activities

where a student may be present, but not academically engaged, such

as:

• Participating in a student-organized study group

• Logging into an online class without active participation or

• Participating in academic counseling or advising.

A student's self-certification alone is not sufficient documentation of

attendance in an academically related activity; it must be supported

by institutional documentation of the student's attendance in the

activity.

Attendance Reporting Change Request (Attendance Appeal)

If a student was reported as non-attending in error, it is the student's

responsibility to request their instructor to submit an electronic

attendance appeal to the Financial Aid & Scholarships office. In a

case where the student attended the wrong section of a class, the

instructor with whom the student established attendance must submit

an attendance appeal form with the date the student established

attendance in his/her section. The instructor of the correct section

must also submit an attendance appeal with the date the student

established attendance in his/her section. The electronic appeal form

is available to instructors on Forms Central, accessed through the

Sinclair portal.

Students Who Attended Within the First 14 Days of the Course

The instructor submits the appeal with the first date the student

attended the course. The Financial Aid & Scholarships office reviews

the student's financial aid award based on the date the instructor

reported the student first attended the course.

Students Who Did Not Attend Within the First 14 Days of the

Course Due to Extenuating Circumstances

The instructor submits the appeal with the first date the student

attended the course and enters a brief explanation of his/her

knowledge of the student's circumstance. The Financial Aid &

Scholarships office notifies the student of the next steps via Sinclair

email (See Extenuating Circumstances section for examples of

acceptable documentation).

Extenuating Circumstances

The Financial Aid & Scholarships office considers the following

extenuating circumstances to allow students to establish attendance

after the 14th day of the course. The documentation provided must

correspond to the attendance taking period for which the student is

submitting the appeal:

• Severe illness preventing him or her from attending all

classes during the first 14 days of the course and he or she

provided documentation from a medical doctor or hospital,

and a financial aid staff member agrees that attendance in

the first 14 days of the course was not possible, or;

• Death of a close family member and provides a copy of the

death certificate or obituary referencing the student's name

in relationship to the deceased, or;

• Campus closure (inclement weather or an act of God)

causing the student to miss classes, and in addition, the

student documents the extenuating circumstances

preventing him or her from establishing attendance during

the remainder of the 14 day period, or;

• Attended the wrong section of the course or changed

sections but established attendance during the first 14 days

of the course in that section as evidenced by the instructor

for that course, even though the student was not registered

in that course at the time attendance was verified, or;

• The instructor ceased teaching the course or is no longer

available to submit the attendance appeal form (for

example due to death, medical illness or disability,

relocating out of state, etc.) and the student has been

regularly attending the courses, or;

• Other documented extenuating circumstances that a

financial aid staff member determines through the use of

professional judgment.

Technology Errors

If a technical error occurs during the attendance reporting submission

or college error prevented accurate attendance reporting, attendance

verification may be updated without an attendance appeal if the

instructor provides the course roster and documentation of the error

to the Financial Aid & Scholarships office. The director of Financial

Aid & Scholarships determines if an attendance appeal exception can

be approved.

Attendance Reporting Change Request Review Timeline

Attendance Reporting Change Request decisions can take up to 10

business days. Students are notified of the request decision through

their Sinclair.edu email account. All request decisions are final.

Attendance Reporting Change Requests for Fall and Spring

Semesters must be submitted within 30 days after the end of the term

for which they are appealing. Attendance Reporting Change Request

for Summer must be submitted within 15 days after the semester

ends. Any appeals received after the deadline for each semester will

be reviewed by a Financial Aid Manager on a case-by-case basis.

Note: Processing deadlines may impact Federal Direct Loan

eligibility for students with requests approved after the semester ends.

Contact the Financial Aid & Scholarships office for more

information.

Reporting Earned Grades

Students who earned grades in a course previously reported by the

instructor as non-attending may contact the Financial Aid &

Scholarships office within 30 days after the semester ends to review

federal aid eligibility for the completed course. Students may report

grades earned for courses completed during Summer Semester to the

Financial Aid & Scholarships office within 15 days after the semester

ends. In some cases, attendance may be updated through other

Financial Aid Processes such as Return to Title IV or Packaging if

conflicting information exists. Any requests received after the

deadline for each semester will be reviewed by a Financial Aid

Manager on a case-by-case basis. Note: Processing deadlines may

impact Federal Direct Loan eligibility for students with requests

approved after the semester ends. Contact the Financial Aid &

Scholarships office for more information.

*Where days are addressed, Financial Aid & Scholarships office uses

calendar days.

Financial Aid Repeat Coursework Policy

Students may receive federal financial aid funding for one (1)

repetition of a course successfully completed. The repeated class may

be counted towards a student's enrollment status and the student may

be awarded Title IV aid for the enrollment status based on the

inclusion of the class.

Grades of A, B, C, D, Y, P and S are considered course credit hours

successfully completed.

Grades of W, F, U, I, IP, N and Z are considered course credit hours

not successfully completed.

Students should be aware that for Satisfactory Academic Progress, all

coursework attempted counts toward GPA, PACE of completion and

maximum timeframe hours used to determine eligibility for federal

financial aid. To see the Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy, you

may visit: www.sinclair.edu/satisfactory-academic-progress

Students taking repeated courses should consult with the Financial

Aid & Scholarships office prior to registration to ensure repeated

courses are counted appropriately for financial aid eligibility. In

addition, a student may need to provide documentation from the

department chairperson of their valid active program regarding the

need to repeat courses.

A possible exception exists for coursework with the same department

name, course number and title but whose content varies by term and

is required to complete the student's current active program. All

exceptions will require the student to complete and submit a Repeat

Coursework Appeal, which is available online at

www.sinclair.edu/finaid or any Sinclair location.

Examples of repeated coursework include the following scenarios::

1. A student is enrolled in 12 credit hours which includes a 3

credit hour course that the student passed and is repeating.

The student withdraws from the course before the last day

to withdraw with a full refund (withdrawals without

record). The next term, the student is again registered for

12 credit hours and repeats the same 3 credit course.

Twelve credits will count for financial aid eligibility.

2. A student is enrolled in 15 credit hours, which includes a 3

credit hour course that the student previously passed and is

repeating. The student is enrolled in a minimum of 12

credit hours which are not repeats, therefore, student's

financial aid eligibility will not be impacted by the repeated

course.

3. A student is enrolled in 15 credit hours which includes 3

credits repeating a course not yet passed. Since the student

has never passed the course, the student's financial aid

eligibility is not impacted by the repeat.

4. A student is registered for 12 credit hours which includes a

3 credit hour course that has been previously taken two

times with grades of D and F respectively. Since the

student has already taken the course one time since it was

passed, he cannot receive federal aid for the second repeat

of the course even though an F was earned. Only 9 credits

will count for financial aid eligibility.

Remedial Coursework Policy

Remedial coursework prepares a student for study at the

postsecondary level. According to Federal regulations, a student may

receive Federal financial aid for up to 30 credit hours of remedial

coursework. Remedial coursework includes most DEV (with the

exception of those listed below), ACA, BIT, and EXL courses.

Remedial coursework also includes prerequisite courses that are not

required for a student's program of study, for example MAT 0200. A

course will be excluded from the determination of a student's Federal

financial aid if the total remedial credit hours, with the course

included, exceeds 30 credit hours.

Remedial coursework content must be at least high school level. If a

remedial course's content is below the high school level, the course

cannot be included to determine federal financial aid eligibility, and

will not count toward the 30 credit hour remedial coursework limit

because it does not meet the definition of remedial. At Sinclair, MAT

0050 is the only course that does not meet content standards.

Financial Aid Add/Drop Census Date Policy-Dropping,

Adding, or Withdrawing from Courses

Typically, the initial calculation of Federal Pell Grants are prepared

based on anticipated full-time enrollment each term. Sinclair

recalculates Federal Pell Grant awards based on attendance and/or

schedule adjustments up to the student census date. After the student

census date, a student's Federal Pell Grant will not be adjusted for

drops or adds even if the student has been attending class. However,

if the student fails to complete all of his or her scheduled courses in

the term, a Return of Title IV Funds calculation is required, and an

adjustment may be made by Sinclair.

Federal Pell Grant awards will be based on the number of credit

hours in which a student is enrolled as of the student census date. If a

student withdraws from or drops all of his or her courses on the same

date, then the student census date will be the latest census date for the

course(s) they dropped with record. Students are strongly encouraged

to finalize their course schedule no later than the start of the term.

DEFINITIONS

Add

A course added by the student to his or her schedule.

Drop

A course dropped by the student from his or her schedule on or before the course census date. No grade will be issued for the

dropped course. The course will not be part of the student's academic record (a drop without record).

Withdrawal

A course dropped by the student from his or her schedule after the course census date. A grade of "W" (withdrawal) will be issued

for the course. The course will be part of the student's academic record (a drop with record).

Purged

The process used by the school to remove courses from a student's schedule for nonpayment of tuition and fees.

Cancelled

A course removed by the school due to cancellation (e.g., due to low course enrollment)

Course

Census Date

The last date to add a course or drop a course with the possibility of a refund and without record. See the Sinclair Community

College Registration Calendar for specific dates for a given academic year.

Student

Census Date

The latest course census date for all of the student's registered courses for a specific term. For example, in the Fall term a student

has a full-term course (census date is Aug. 31), an A term course (census date is Aug. 28), and a B term course (census date is

October 23 which is the latest starting course). The student census date is October 23. All adds or drops that occur on or before

October 23, will be considered when determining the student's enrollment level and the amount of federal financial aid the student

will receive.

Communication with Financial Aid & Scholarships Office

The Financial Aid & Scholarships office at Sinclair helps students

meet their educational expenses. Sinclair will make every effort to

help students meet the difference between college costs and the

amount the family is able to pay. All aid offers are made on a non-

discriminatory basis.

1. The Financial Aid & Scholarships office communicates

with students about their FAFSA application status through

their sinclair.edu student email account. When the student's

financial aid offer has been determined, an aid offer

notification will be sent via email. Students should check

their sinclair.edu email and Financial Aid Portal

information regularly.

2. Questions? For information, call, write, or personally visit

the office:

o Call Sinclair's Welcome Center: (937) 512-3000

or (800) 315-3000

o Email welcomecenter@sinclair.edu. All email

messages sent to welcomecenter@sinclair.edu

must be sent from a student's sinclair.edu email

account.

o Send a letter to: Financial Aid & Scholarships,

Sinclair Community College, 444 West Third

Street, Dayton, Ohio 45402-1460.

be provided to anyone but the student without the student's written

permission. See a financial aid representative at any campus location

to complete the Authorization for the Release of Student Information

(FERPA Release).

Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Policy

Process Overview and Responsibilities

Federal regulations require students receiving federal student

financial aid to maintain satisfactory academic progress (SAP)

toward the completion of a federal aid eligible program. The

following sources of federal student aid may be awarded, if a student

qualifies:

• Federal Pell Grant

• Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant

(FSEOG)

• Federal Work Study

• Federal Direct Loan (subsidized and unsubsidized)

• Federal Direct PLUS Loan (parents of dependent students

only)

The Financial Aid SAP Policy evaluates qualitative and quantitative

components to determine federal financial aid eligibility at the end of

each semester. Failure to meet both requirements results in financial

aid warning status for the following semester of enrollment, if the

SAP status was satisfactory in the prior semester of enrollment. If the

student does not meet the SAP requirements after the warning

semester, federal aid is suspended for subsequent semesters. The

student may appeal for reconsideration if an extenuating

circumstance prevented successful completion of the semesters in

which the requirements were not met.

The Financial Aid SAP Policy applies consistently to all categories of

students who have a FAFSA on file, regardless of enrollment status,

program of study, or any other category of student.

"Same as or Stricter" than Requirement

Sinclair's Financial Aid SAP Policy and Academic Progress Policy

each require students maintain a cumulative Grade Point Average

(GPA) greater than or equal to 2.0. The Academic Progress Policy

applies to all students, including non-federal financial aid recipients,

to ensure students meet the required 2.0 graduation requirement upon

program completion.

The Financial Aid SAP Policy evaluates quantitative measures (pace

of completion and maximum timeframe) to ensure students can

graduate within the maximum number of credit hours required for

their program of study. The Academic Progress Policy does not

evaluate quantitative measures to determine satisfactory academic

progress. Additionally, the Financial Aid SAP Policy imposes stricter

consequences for failing to meet the requirements (see below).

Therefore, the Financial Aid SAP Policy is stricter than the Academic

Progress Policy.

Qualitative Measure

Students must maintain a fixed, cumulative GPA of at least 2.0 when

the SAP evaluation is completed after each semester of enrollment.

The financial aid GPA is computed by dividing the total number of

grade points by the total credit hours in which grades were earned at

Sinclair. The GPA calculation is based on grades reported by faculty

to the Registration & Student Records office. Financial Aid staff

initiate the SAP evaluation each semester, which systematically

determines if the GPA requirement is met.

Quantitative Measure

Pace of Completion (Pace) is the quantitative measures used to

evaluate students' progress through their program of study.

The Pace component requires students to receive a passing grade in

66.67% of the total credit hours attempted to ensure students will

complete within the maximum timeframe established for their

program. The Pace component is evaluated at the end of each

semester by dividing the total number of completed credit hours by

the total number of attempted credit hours. The Pace component

evaluates the percentage, not the number, of successfully completed

classes, which allows students flexibility in their enrollment statuses.

Maximum Timeframe Requirement

The MTF component requires students to complete their active

program of study within 150% of the published program credit hours.

Maximum Timeframe is calculated by multiplying the published

program credit hours by 150%. Students with unsatisfactory SAP

status due to maximum timeframe are ineligible for financial aid

warning, although financial aid probation status may be assigned if

the student successfully appeals.

Pace

Students must receive a passing grade in 66.67% of the total credit

hours attempted to ensure program completion within 150% of the

published program credit hours (MTF). The Pace component is

evaluated at the end of each semester by dividing the completed

credit hours by the total number of attempted credit hours. The Pace

component evaluates the percentage, not the number, of successfully

completed classes, which allows students flexibility in their

enrollment statuses.

Frequency of Evaluation

The Financial Aid SAP Standards are evaluated at the end of each

payment period (Fall, Spring, and Summer Semesters) for students

who were enrolled for the semester and for whom Sinclair has

received a FAFSA.

Note: An intersession course is combined with the following payment

period. Credit hours attempted during intersessions are included in

following payment period's SAP evaluation.

Students may be reviewed outside of the evaluation period on a case-

by-case basis as determined by a Financial Aid Officer or

Manager. Students will also be reviewed when a FAFSA is received

to determine if they are meeting the SAP Standards prior to federal

aid disbursing for the first time.

Students on financial aid probation and identified as not meeting

academic plan requirements before the end of semester evaluation are

notified of their option to appeal. Any such evaluation does not

replace the official end of term evaluation completed for all

applicable students.

SAP Status Notification

Students are emailed when their financial aid eligibility has changed

due to the end of term SAP review. The notification is sent via

Sinclair.edu email by the Friday after the last date of the semester.

Financial Aid Warning

Financial Aid Warning status is assigned for one semester of

enrollment following an unsuccessful GPA and/or Pace evaluation.

This status may be assigned if a student's prior SAP status was

Financial Aid Satisfactory (or its equivalent).

The student must meet the minimum cumulative GPA and Pace

requirements at the evaluation for the warning semester to continue

federal financial aid eligibility. If the requirements are not met, the

student's federal financial aid is denied until regaining eligibility by

meeting the requirements through completed coursework, or by

successfully appealing for reconsideration of federal financial aid

eligibility.

There is no limit to the number of times a student may be placed on a

Financial Aid Warning status. However, no Financial Aid Warning

status may be assigned to consecutive terms of enrollment, i.e., the

student must be in a Financial Aid Satisfactory status (or its

equivalent) the term prior to being assigned to a Financial Aid

Warning status.

There is no Financial Aid Warning status for MTF status. Students

receive an alert when 24 credit hours of eligibility remain and again

when 12 credit hours remain for maximum credit hours attempted.

SAP Appeal Process

Students may appeal federal financial aid suspension if extenuating

circumstances prevented academic progress during the semester(s) of

unsatisfactory SAP status. Students who are not meeting SAP after

the end of term evaluation are notified of their financial aid

suspension and the appeal process via their Sinclair.edu email.

The SAP appeal must be submitted to the Financial Aid &

Scholarships office for review by the SAP Review Committee. If the

student is enrolled and wants to have the appeal considered for the

current payment period, the appeal must be received by the B term

census date. Otherwise, probation will begin the next payment period

for which the student enrolls.

The appeal must include the items listed below for initial

consideration. Incomplete appeals will be rejected. The SAP Review

Committee may request additional documentation or clarification if

the documentation provided does not support the timeline or

circumstances of the appeal.

SAP Appeal Requirements

• SAP Appeal Form

• Academic Plan Calculation Form completed by their

Academic Advisor

• Personal statement addressing the extenuating

circumstances that contributed to unsatisfactory academic

progress during the corresponding semester(s) in which

GPA/SAP requirements were not met

• Statement addressing how circumstances have changed to

achieve satisfactory academic progress in the future

• Third party statements must be unbiased documentation of

the extenuating circumstances. Letters from individuals

must be signed, and professional statements must be signed

on company letterhead.

• Extenuating circumstances include, but are not limited to,

illness, accident, grievous personal loss, employment

change or relocation, or other circumstances beyond the

student's control. The following are examples of third-party

documentation:

o Obituaries or death certificates

o Physician statements verifying extenuating

circumstance described in the student's statement

o Written statement from college staff supporting

the student's statement

• Extenuating circumstances do not include, for example, a

dislike of an instructor or mode of instruction or a

circumstance for which a previous appeal was approved

• Submit SAP Appeal Form through FA Online forms.

Academic Plan Calculation Form

Contact your Academic Advisor to initiate this form. Both the student

and Academic Advisor must electronically sign the form to confirm

and acknowledge how many credit hours away from

certificate/degree completion the student is. This must be uploaded

with the appeal and is used to create the academic plan used for the

probationary period if appeal is approved.

SAP Appeal Decision Notification

Appeal decisions are sent via Sinclair.edu email typically within 7-10

days after the appeal is submitted if the Review Committee was able

to make a determination.

Financial Aid Probation Status

Financial Aid Probation status is assigned when a student

successfully appeals a Financial Aid Unsatisfactory or Financial Aid

Maximum Time Frame status. The student is assigned an academic

plan that defines the requirements to maintain federal aid eligibility

for each semester of enrollment. If the academic plan requirements

are not met, the student's federal aid is denied until either regaining

eligibility by meeting the requirements through completed

coursework, or by successfully appealing for reconsideration of

federal financial aid eligibility.

The Academic Advisor and student develop the academic plan to

define the probationary period for each student. Successful

completion of the academic plan results in program completion or

Financial Aid Satisfactory status and continued aid eligibility.

A student may file an SAP appeal to regain federal aid eligibility.

The SAP appeal may be approved if the student documents

extenuating circumstances during the probationary semester. These

must be different than the extenuating circumstance from previous

semesters.

Academic Plan Calculation

Students with an approved appeal are placed on a Financial Aid

Academic Plan as a condition of Financial Aid Probation. This plan is

calculated based on remaining credit hours needed for the active

program completion, which the academic advisor certifies on the

Financial Aid Academic Plan Calculation Form and the student

submits with the SAP appeal. Financial aid staff evaluate the program

and cumulative GPA to determine if institutional graduation

requirements can be achieved within the remaining program credit

hours.

The academic plan includes the required GPA and Pace for each

semester of enrollment to maintain federal financial aid eligibility.

The academic plan states the first semester of federal aid eligibility

authorized by the approved appeal, and each subsequent semester.

The active program of study for which the appeal was approved is the

only program authorized by the academic plan. If a student on

financial aid probation changes programs, federal financial aid is

suspended at the end of semester evaluation. The student may re-

appeal based on the new program of study.

Revised Academic Plans

A revised Financial Aid Academic Plan Calculation Form may be

submitted due to change in required courses or other necessary

changes, such as admission to a limited enrollment Health Sciences

Degree program. This must be completed and signed by the academic

advisor and student. Revised calculation forms are reviewed by

Financial Aid Officers on a case-by-case basis. It's possible some

revisions could result in suspension at the end of semester evaluation.

Academic Plan Evaluation

Academic plans are reviewed at the end of semester SAP evaluation.

The evaluation first assesses satisfactory status of the cumulative

qualitative and quantitative SAP components. If the cumulative

standards are satisfactory, the financial aid status is Satisfactory, and

the student is no longer monitored under the terms of the academic

plan. If the student does not meet the cumulative standards but meets

the academic plan requirements for the semester, the student remains

in financial aid probation status and retains federal financial aid

eligibility. If cumulative and academic plan standards are

unsatisfactory, federal financial aid is suspended for future semesters.

Students may appeal to regain their eligibility if they have a different

extenuating circumstance for which the prior appeal was approved.

Academic Plan Notification

The financial aid academic plan is sent via Sinclair.edu email.

Regaining Eligibility

Students who are ineligible to receive federal financial aid due to

unsatisfactory SAP status and did not file a successful appeal will be

evaluated at the end of the next semester of enrollment if Sinclair has

received a FAFSA for the corresponding year. If the cumulative SAP

requirements are met, federal financial aid eligibility will be

reinstated. Federal financial aid cannot be paid retroactively for a

semester during which a student was ineligible to receive federal

financial aid.

There is no limit to the number of appeals a student may submit;

however, if choosing to re-appeal a previously rejected appeal,

documentation not included in prior appeals is necessary for re-

consideration, and approval is not guaranteed. For example,

documentation of successful completion of college level courses

since the previous rejection could be submitted to demonstrate

academic progress.

If a student has had multiple approved SAP appeals, a manager may

review future appeals and may require a meeting between the student

and appropriate Sinclair staff based on the student's situation to

discuss terms of FA probation.

Transfer Credit

Transfer credit hours accepted from other institutions are included in

both the attempted and completed credit hours calculation for Pace

and MTF, but not in cumulative GPA.

Repeat Coursework

All course attempts are calculated in the pace of completion and

maximum timeframe. The financial aid SAP policy abides by the

College's academic policy regarding the treatment of repeated

courses and the placement of grades in the calculation of the

cumulative GPA. See the complete Academic Repeat Coursework

Policy for additional information.

Dropped Courses

Attempted credits include all courses in which a student remains

enrolled beyond the last day of the add/ drop period of the course,

whether the student began attending or not. Courses in which the

student drops after the add/drop period are given a grade of "W."

Fresh Start

The College's academic amnesty policy is superseded by the

Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress policy when

calculating the SAP status to determine financial aid eligibility.

Treatment of Remedial and English as a Second Language

Courses

Remedial (Developmental) and English as a Second Language (ESL)

courses are included in attempted and completed hours in the Pace

and MTF end of semester SAP evaluations. If a grade of pass or fail

is received in a remedial or ESL course, a passing grade is calculated

as a 2.0 in the financial aid GPA and a failing grade is calculated as

zero.

Treatment of Consortium, Change of Major, Second Degree, and

Second Major Courses

Consortium Agreement Grades

Grades received through a consortium or contractual agreements are

not included in the end of term GPA calculation. Consortium grades

are included in the Pace and MTF end of term SAP calculations as

attempted and completed credit hours if a passing grade was earned.

Single Program of Study Requirements

Students may not be enrolled in multiple academic programs

concurrently to register for classes. If the student was granted an

exception to this policy and has more than one active program of

study, the active, highest-credential program with the most recent

start date will be evaluated for satisfactory academic progress. The

SAP standards will include all Sinclair credits and grades and transfer

credits.

A student must be enrolled in a federal financial aid eligible program

before the GPA, Pace or MTF SAP calculation occurs. The student is

assigned the SAP status of ineligible program (IEP) until an eligible

program is declared. Federal aid ineligible programs include, but are

not limited to, Ohio Transfer 36, SCC.Graduate, and non-degree

programs with program code ending in ND. Additionally, many

certificates are ineligible until approved by the U.S. Department of

Education, and some programs are permanently ineligible for federal

financial aid. Students should contact an Academic Advisor for

information on program federal aid eligibility.

Second Degree or Certificate

Second or subsequent degrees or certificates after graduating from a

Sinclair program are permitted under the Financial Aid SAP Policy

but are subject to the SAP evaluation requirements. There is no limit

to the number of programs a student may complete, and receive

federal financial aid, if eligible. If federal aid is suspended due to the

SAP evaluation, the student has the option to appeal as described in

the Financial Aid SAP Policy.

Change of Major

Changes of major are permitted if the student meets the SAP

evaluation requirements. Students who have changed their major and

have federal aid subsequently suspended may appeal in accordance

with the SAP Appeal Policy. If the student is on financial aid

probation and later changes their major, this may result in federal

financial aid suspension at the end of term evaluation.

Policy Review

The Financial Aid SAP Policy is reviewed by the Financial Aid &

Scholarships leadership staff and approved by the Director

of Financial Aid & Scholarships at least annually. The online catalog

and website policies are updated if policy changes occur after the

annual review. In addition to the Sinclair Online Course Catalog,

students may also access the SAP Policy on Sinclair's Financial Aid

& Scholarships website or obtain a copy in person at the Financial

Aid & Scholarships office located in Dayton Campus Welcome

Center.

Scholarships

Sinclair Community College offers a variety of scholarship

opportunities for students.

Sinclair's institutional scholarships include need-based and merit-

based awards to new and currently enrolled students ranging from

$100-$5,000 per year. Typically, students must have at least a 2.0

cumulative GPA; for the first semester, the GPA requirement is

waived for new students. Students may be eligible for more than one

institutional scholarship per academic year.

Competitive scholarships are also available to students on a

departmental basis. Students should contact their department to

determine if scholarships are offered for their department.

High School Merit Scholarships-These scholarships are offered

each year to high school seniors planning to enroll at Sinclair in the

Fall semester after graduation. They range in amount from $2,000-

$3,000 per year and include the following awards for Montgomery

County residents: Presidential Scholarship (3.5 minimum high school

GPA required) and the Virginia McNeal Scholarship (3.0 minimum

high school GPA required). A Regional Scholarship is offered to

non-Montgomery County residents (3.0 minimum high school GPA

required). Further information regarding those scholarships can be

found at www.sinclair.edu/scholarships

Foundation Scholarships-The Sinclair Foundation annually funds

scholarships through endowment earnings and cash gifts to the

college. Scholarships are available to currently enrolled Sinclair

students, graduating high school seniors, and adults entering college

for the first time. Students with enough Pell and other grants to cover

tuition, books and fees are typically not considered for these

scholarships. Other criteria such as program of study, academics and

community service may also be considered. Online applications can

be submitted at www.sinclair.edu/scholarships

External Scholarships-Several scholarships are awarded by

agencies, clubs and organizations outside of Sinclair. Students are

encouraged to periodically check the External Scholarship Resources

and other scholarship resources link on the web at

www.sinclair.edu/scholarships

Visit www.sinclair.edu/scholarships for additional scholarship

information including application and selection details.

Student Private Loans

Sinclair provides information about private lenders who qualify to

provide private loans to community college students who do not

qualify for federal loan programs or who need additional financial

assistance to meet educational expenses.

The yearly (or term) amount cannot exceed the cost of attendance

minus other financial aid and resources. How to apply: Visit

Sinclair's FASTChoice link on the Financial Aid and Scholarships

page for a list of private education loan lenders most used by Sinclair

students.

These are student loans offered by private companies. They are not

guaranteed by the Federal Government. Private loans are meant to

help students cover education costs not met by other forms of

financial aid. It is recommended that students take full advantage of

all government loans available to them before considering a

supplemental private loan.

Verification Process for Applicants Filing the FAFSA

Institutions are required to verify the accuracy of a student's FAFSA

to assure federal aid is awarded to those who are eligible.

Approximately 30% of FAFSA applications are selected for

verification each year. Sinclair may also select FAFSAs for

verification if there is conflicting information that requires resolution.

Federal financial aid is not awarded until verification is completed.

Students are notified they are selected for verification via their

Sinclair.edu email account. The email specifies the actions required

by the applicant and the documents required to complete the

verification process. The student also receives a FAFSA processing

email notification from U.S. Department of Education (ED) stating

their FAFSA was processed and a Student Aid Report (SAR) was

generated, which indicates their eligibility status and if they are

selected for verification.

For the 2023-2024 award year the FAFSA information selected by

ED that an institution, applicant and, if appropriate, the applicant's

parent(s) or spouse may be required to verify are:

• Adjusted Gross Income

• U.S. Income Tax Paid

• Untaxed Portions of Individual Retirement Account (IRA)

Distributions

• Untaxed Portions of Pensions

• IRA Deductions and Payments

• Tax Exempt Interest Income

• Education Credits

• Income Earned from Work

• Number of Household Members

• Number of Household Members in College

• High School Completion Status

• Identity/Statement of Educational Purpose

Sinclair may select FAFSA items for verification beyond what is

required by ED. If the ED or Sinclair selects an applicant for

verification under this policy, the applicant must complete the

required actions specified or provide the requested documents or

information. Applicants are advised to complete the required actions

or submit copies of the requested documents within 14 days of the

request made by the Financial Aid & Scholarships office. However,

the Federal deadline for verification completion is the earlier of 120

days from the applicant's last date of attendance or the federal

deadline of September 16, 2022. This includes making any necessary

corrections, submitting those corrections to the Central Processing

System, and submitting the new corrected Student Aid Report (SAR)

to Sinclair.

The following consequences occur for applicants who fail to

complete verification in a timely manner:

• Applicants who do not complete verification within the

required deadlines will not qualify for federal financial aid.

• No federal grant or loan funds will be disbursed.

• No federal financial aid loan will be originated.

• If a loan was originated prior to the notice of verification,

any undisbursed monies will be returned to the ED.

• Student employment in a Federal Work Study job will be

terminated.

• If federal grant funds were disbursed prior to being selected

for verification and there was an overpayment, the monies

must be returned to the appropriate federal grant programs.

• Federal financial aid will not be disbursed, and refunds, if

any, will not be available until verification is completed

and corrections (if necessary) have been processed and

received by Sinclair from the ED.

Federal financial aid awards are based on the information provided

on the applicant's FAFSA. Federal need-based programs, such as the

Federal Pell Grant, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity

Grant (FSEOG), and the Federal Subsidized Direct Loan Programs

have strict eligibility requirements. If the data reported on verification

documents differs from the information reported on the applicant's

FAFSA, the applicant's eligibility for funding from these programs

may be affected.

If any credible information indicates that the applicant engaged in

fraud or other criminal misconduct in connection with their federal

student aid application, Sinclair will report applicants to the Office of

the Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Education after

review.

Withdrawal & Return of Title IV Funds

Students earn federal financial aid by attending class (i.e., completing

all scheduled days). Any unearned portion must be returned to the

appropriate Title IV program. Federal law specifies how Sinclair

must determine the amount of Title IV program assistance that you

earn if you withdraw from school. The Title IV programs offered by

Sinclair that are covered by this law are: Federal Pell Grants, Federal

Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (FSEOG), Federal

Iraq and Afghanistan Service Grants, Federal Direct Loans, and

Federal PLUS Loans.

Calculating a Return of Title IV Funds When a Student

Withdraws

When you withdraw during your payment period, the amount of Title

IV program assistance that you have earned up to that point is

determined by a specific formula. If you received (or if Sinclair or

your parent received on your behalf) less assistance than the amount

that you earned, you may be able to receive those additional funds. If

you received more assistance than you earned, the excess funds must

be returned by Sinclair and/or you to the U. S. Department of

Education (ED). You will be responsible for repayment of the funds

to Sinclair that it paid to ED on your behalf.

The amount of assistance that you have earned is determined on a

prorated basis. The percentage of the period completed is determined

by dividing the number of calendar days completed in the payment

period, as of the day the student withdrew, by the total number of

calendar days in the payment period. The number of calendar days

includes all days within the payment period, except for institutionally

scheduled breaks of five or more consecutive days. The day the

student withdrew is counted as a completed day. For example, if you

completed 30% of your payment period, you earned 30% of the

assistance you were originally scheduled to receive. Once you have

completed more than 60% of the payment period, you earn 100% of

the assistance that you were scheduled to receive for that period. That

is, there are no unearned funds.

Withdrawing from a Course or all Classes May Affect a

Student's Financial Aid

Students receiving financial aid who withdraw or stop attending, in

most cases, will be required to return a portion of financial aid

received. A student should submit an official withdrawal from classes

to the Registration & Student Records office (RSR). Before

withdrawing or stopping attendance in classes, the student should be

aware of the proper procedure for withdrawing from classes and the

consequences of withdrawing or stopping attendance. Official

withdraw is the responsibility of the student. The Sinclair Official

Withdrawal Policy is available online at: www.sinclair.edu/policies

Questions on Return of Title IV Funds may be addressed to the

Financial Aid & Scholarships office. Questions on withdrawal should

be addressed with an Academic Advisor.

The withdrawal date used in the Return of Title IV calculation is the

actual date the official drop is received by the Registration and

Student Records office. If a student stops attending classes without

notifying Sinclair, the withdrawal date will be the last date of

recorded attendance at an academically related activity in a course for

which attendance was established during the attendance verification

period.

Post Withdrawal Disbursements

If you did not receive all funds that you earned, you may be due a

post-withdrawal disbursement. Sinclair will notify the student within

30 days of the date of determination of withdrawal concerning the

post withdrawal disbursement. If the post-withdrawal disbursement

results in a credit balance, the credit balance will be returned to the

student no later than 14 days from the date of disbursement.

If your post-withdrawal disbursement includes loan funds, Sinclair

must get your permission (or your parent's permission for a Direct

PLUS Loan) before it can disburse the funds. You (or your parent for

a Direct PLUS Loan) may choose to decline some or all of the loan

funds so that you do not incur additional debt. The student (or parent

if a PLUS loan) must respond within 14 days of the date the post-

withdrawal disbursement notification was sent. Entrance counseling

must be completed before funds are disbursed.

Sinclair may automatically use all or a portion of your post-

withdrawal disbursement of grant funds for tuition and fees and will

apply those funds to your student account within 45 days of the date

of determination of your withdrawal from Sinclair. Sinclair needs

your permission to use the post-withdrawal grant disbursement for all

other school charges. If you do not give your permission (Sinclair

may ask for this when you enroll or register), you will be offered the

funds. However, it may be in your best interest to allow Sinclair to

keep the funds to reduce your debt at the school.

There may be some Title IV funds that you were scheduled to receive

that cannot be disbursed to you once you withdraw because of other

eligibility requirements. For example, if you are a first-time, first-

year undergraduate student and you did not complete the first 30 days

of your program before you withdrew, you will not receive any

Direct Loan funds that you would have received had you remained

enrolled past the 30th day.

Returning Unearned Federal Funds

If you receive (or if Sinclair or your parents receive on your behalf)

excess Title IV program funds that must be returned, Sinclair must

return a portion of the excess equal to the lesser of:

1. Your institutional charges multiplied by the unearned

percentage of your funds, or

2. The entire amount of excess funds.

Sinclair will return Title IV funds in the following order:

1. Unsubsidized Direct Loan

2. Subsidized Direct Loan

3. Direct PLUS Loan

4. Federal Pell Grant

5. Iraq and Afghanistan Service Grant

6. Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Act

(FSEOG)

The required return of Title IV funds will be made to the Title IV

programs within 45 calendar days of the date of determination of

withdrawal.

In addition to returning unearned loan and grant funds due from the

school to the Title IV program, Sinclair will return those excess

unearned grant funds due from you to the Title IV program. You will

be required to repay Sinclair for the student portion of the funds

returned to the Title IV programs.

Any loan funds that you (or your parent for a Direct PLUS Loan) are

eligible to keep must be repaid in accordance with the terms of the

promissory note. That is, you make scheduled payments to the holder

of the loan over a period of time agreed upon by you (or your parent

for a Direct PLUS loan).

Any amount of unearned grant funds that you must return is called an

overpayment. The maximum amount of a grant overpayment that you

must repay is half of the grant funds you received or were scheduled

to receive. You do not have to repay a grant overpayment if the

original amount of the overpayment is $50 or less. You must make

arrangements with Sinclair to repay Sinclair the amount of the

unearned grant funds paid on your behalf by the college.

The requirements for refunds and repayments of Title IV program

funds when you withdraw are separate and different from any

Sinclair refund policy. The institutional refund policy determines the

amount of tuition and other charges owed the College and has no

impact on the Return of Title IV funds calculation. Therefore, you

may still owe funds to Sinclair to cover unpaid institutional charges.

Sinclair may also charge you for any Title IV program funds that the

school was required to return. Students are encouraged to review

Sinclair's refund of fees policy which can be found online at:

www.sinclair.edu/ bursar-refund-policy or you may ask Sinclair for a

copy of its refund policy.

If a credit balance exists on the student's account after applying

institutional refund policy and the R2T4 calculation, the institution

will disburse the credit balance to the student no later than 14 days

from the date the school performs the R2T4 calculation.

Courses and Programs of Study

To help students reach their educational goals, those that have earned

college credits outside of Sinclair or served in the U.S. Armed

Forces, must have official transcripts sent to Sinclair. Transcripts will

be evaluated by the office of Registration & Student Records. Once

the credits have been evaluated, the school will send the student a

letter informing them of the number of credits accepted. This

information is essential for students and advisors to create an

academic plan that accurately reflects the best path to success.

For assistance with creating an academic plan, students need to meet

with an Academic Advisor. A degree plan is required before the

MFEC can certify any VA educational benefits.

Sinclair's developmental (remedial) courses are approved for VA

educational benefits if these courses are recommended through

placement testing and are taken in-person.

The following is a listing of programs and courses that are not

approved for VA educational benefits:

1. All one-year and short-term technical certificate programs

2. Courses that cannot be credited toward graduation in an

approved associate and/or bachelor's degree program

3. Developmental courses taken in an online format (no face-

to-face class meetings required)

4. Real Estate courses for students not enrolled in the Real

Estate associate degree program

5. Professional Pilot courses for students not enrolled in the

approved Professional Pilot associate/ bachelor's degree

program(s)

Remember: Assistance may be received in course selection, but final

course selection is the student's responsibility. Students should follow

the course outline as contained in the college catalog and

communicate regularly with their academic advisor.

Aviation Students Using the GI Bill®

Best Practices Process: Advising Students in the Aviation

Technology/Professional Pilot program that are using the GI Bill ®

Students that are in the Aviation Technology/Professional Pilot

program and are utilizing GI Bill® benefits should be made aware

that the Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) does not pay for

certificates within the program, they will only pay for a degree. This

means you are advised to take general education classes mixed with

flight classes showing intent to complete the program.

GI Bill ® Trademark

GI Bill® is a registered trademark of the U.S. Department of

Veterans Affairs (VA). More information about benefits offered by

VA is available at the official U.S. Government Web Site at

Military Tuition Assistance (TA)

Each branch of the United States Armed Forces offers Tuition

Assistance (TA) programs for their active duty members and its

reservists. Programs are administered by the individual service

branches, and typically require coordination through the service

member's command structure. Students with questions about using

their Military TA at Sinclair can contact the Military Family

Education Center (MFEC). You can contact the MFEC by phone at

(937) 512-2586, or by email at [email protected].

To use your TA at Sinclair, students need to provide their Branch's

TA program with an Evaluated Degree Plan. Requirements for degree

plans vary by service branch, but in general the plan must be created

and signed by a Sinclair Academic Advisor, list all of the courses

required for the degree and show all transfer courses that have been

accepted by Sinclair and are applicable to course requirements of the

student's. Students must submit a request to use TA each semester

through their Branch's online education portal.

Ohio National Guard Scholarship Program (ONGSP)

The ONGSP is provided to Air and Army National Guard members

serving in the Ohio National Guard. This is a state benefit that covers

tuition only. To apply, please visit ONGSP.Ohio.gov for each term

that you would like to use these benefits.

document to the MFEC at mfec@sinclair.edu. For questions

regarding this process, please contact the MFEC at (937) 512-2586

or mfec@sinclair.edu.

Current Military Access Scholarship (CMAS)

Military TA and ONGSP programs do not cover college fees. To

minimize out-of-pocket costs, Sinclair has established the Current

Military Access Scholarship (CMAS) program that pays up to $250

in non-tuition fees per semester for students using Military TA.

Funds are awarded directly to student accounts after TA has been

applied. Students do not need to apply for this scholarship.

Articulation and Transfer Policies

Articulation and Transfer Policies for Degree-Seeking

Students

Begin a four-year degree by taking advantage of Sinclair's small class

size, caring faculty, supportive staff and low tuition.

Students can:

• Complete many freshman and sophomore level courses

before transferring to a four-year institution.

• Earn a Sinclair associate degree and apply many of those

credits toward a bachelor's degree.

• Complete most of the general education requirements by

taking courses from the Ohio Transfer 36 before

transferring to a four-year institution.

Transfer to and from Sinclair by following a few easy steps. Be sure

to check with a Sinclair academic advisor and the transfer institution.

Transfer of Credit to Sinclair

To make sure that credits from another institution transfer efficiently

to Sinclair, follow these steps:

1. Request Official Transcripts

Contact all previously attended colleges/universities and

request that official transcripts be sent to: Sinclair

Community College, Registration & Student Records, 444

West Third Street, Dayton, Ohio 45402-1460

Upon receipt of a student's transcript, Sinclair will notify the student

with a post card via U.S. mail. Within 15 business days the Student

Records department will equate the transferred courses to Sinclair

courses and a full report of these equivalencies will be sent to the

student in the mail. Sinclair accepts credits from colleges and

universities accredited by regional accrediting associations.

2. Meet with an Academic Advisor

Advisors will work with students to determine which

courses to take for their degree programs. If all transcripts

have not been received by Sinclair prior to meeting with

advisors, students are encouraged to bring an unofficial

transcript from their previously attended college(s) to the

advising session.

3. Register for Classes

Transfer of Credits from Sinclair

To make sure that Sinclair credits transfer efficiently to another

institution (referred to here as "transfer institution"), follow these

steps:

1. Meet with the appropriate Sinclair academic/faculty advisor

and speak with a representative at the transfer institution

early and often during an academic career. This will help

ensure that the student is selecting the appropriate courses.

2. Follow the transfer admissions procedures for that

institution.

3. Have official Sinclair transcripts sent to the transfer

institution and follow up to ensure that they have received

and evaluated the transfer credits.

• For additional information, go to:

www.sinclair.edu/transcripts

Remember:

• Speak with an academic/faculty advisor early in your

academic career. It is the student's responsibility to keep

the advisor aware of the intended academic program and/or

transfer institution.

• Contact the transfer institution as soon as possible. Ask for

specific recommendations from the transfer institution to

help with structuring a degree program at Sinclair as

closely as possible around their requirements. Also,

speaking to advisors from both institutions helps ensure

that students receive timely, accurate transfer information.

• Always confirm course choices with the transfer institution.

Because Sinclair is accredited by the Higher Learning

Commission and is a member of the association as well as

the Ohio Department of Higher Education, most credits

will transfer to other colleges and universities. University

Parallel courses usually transfer more easily than technical

courses. Due to the highly specialized nature of courses in

career programs, many are not designed for transfer to a

four-year institution. The exception to this is any course in

an approved articulation agreement with a four-year college

or university. An academic advisor can provide information

about which programs offer this option.

Institutional Transfer

The Ohio Department of Higher Education in 1990, following a

directive of the 118th Ohio General Assembly, developed the Ohio

Articulation and Transfer Policy to facilitate students' ability to

transfer credits from one Ohio public college or university to another

in order to avoid duplication of course requirements. A subsequent

policy review and recommendations produced by the Articulation and

Transfer Advisory Council in 2004, together with mandates from the

125th Ohio General Assembly in the form of Amended Substitute

House Bill 95, have prompted improvements of the original policy.

Additional legislation from the 125th Ohio General Assembly also

initiated the development of a statewide system for articulation

agreements among state institutions of higher education for transfer

students pursuing teacher education programs.

Action by the 126th Ohio General Assembly led to the establishment

of criteria, policies, and procedures for the transfer of technical

courses completed through a career-technical education institution;

and standards for the awarding of college credit based on Advanced

Placement (AP) test scores.

Legislation from the 130th Ohio General Assembly required public

institutions of higher education to: use baseline standards and

procedures in the granting of college credit for military training,

experience, and coursework; establish an appeals process for

resolving disputes over the awarding of credit for military

experience; provide specific assistance and support to veterans and

service members; adopt a common definition of a service member

and veteran; and establish a credit articulation system in which adult

graduates of public career-technical institutions who complete a 900

clock-hour program of study and obtain an industry-recognized

credential approved by the Chancellor shall receive 30 college

technical credit hours toward a technical degree upon enrollment.

While all public colleges and universities are required to follow the

Ohio Articulation and Transfer Policy, independent colleges and

universities in Ohio may or may not participate in the Transfer

Policy. Therefore, students interested in transferring to independent

institutions are encouraged to check with the college or university of

their choice regarding transfer agreements. In support of improved

articulation and transfer processes, the Ohio Department of Higher

Education has established an articulation and transfer clearinghouse

to receive, annotate, and convey transcripts among public colleges

and universities. This system is designed to provide standardized

information and help colleges and universities reduce undesirable

variability in the transfer credit evaluation process.

Acceptance of Transfer and Articulated Credit

To recognize courses appropriately and provide equity in the

treatment of incoming transfer students and students native to the

receiving institution, transfer credit will be accepted for all

successfully completed college-level courses completed in or after

Fall 2005 from Ohio public institutions of higher education. Students

who successfully completed Associate of Arts (AA) or Associate of

Science (AS) degrees prior to Fall 2005 with a 2.0 or better overall

grade-point average would also receive credit for all college-level

courses they have passed. While this reflects the baseline policy

requirement, individual institutions may set equitable institutional

policies that are more accepting.

Pass/Fail courses, credit-by-examination credits, experiential learning

courses, and other non-traditional credit courses that meet these

conditions will also be accepted and posted to the student record.

Application of Transfer and Articulated Credit

Application of credit is the decision process performed by the

receiving institution to determine how the credits it has accepted and

recorded on the student's official academic transcript will or will not

apply toward program and degree requirements. While the receiving

institution makes this decision, it will do so within the parameters of

this Policy.

The following guidelines and requirements shall govern the

application of transfer and articulated credit:

Ohio Transfer 36 (formerly the Ohio Transfer Module (OTM))

The Ohio Department of Higher Education's Articulation and

Transfer Policy established the Ohio Transfer 36, which may be a

subset or the entire set of a public higher education institution's

general education curriculum in Associate of Arts (AA), Associate of

Science (AS) and baccalaureate degree programs. Students in applied

associate degree programs may complete some individual Ohio

Transfer 36 courses within their degree program or continue beyond

the degree program to complete the entire Ohio Transfer 36. The

Ohio Transfer 36 contains 36-40 semester of course credit in English

composition (minimum of 3 semester); mathematics, statistics and

logic (minimum of 3 semester); arts and humanities (minimum of 6

semester); social and behavioral sciences (minimum of 6 semester);

and natural sciences (minimum of 6 semester). Oral communication,

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), and interdisciplinary areas

may be included as additional options. Additional elective hours from

among these areas make up the total hours for a completed Ohio

Transfer 36. Courses for the Ohio Transfer 36 should be 100- and

200-level general education courses commonly completed in the first

two years of a student's course of study. Each public university and

technical and community college is required to establish and maintain

an approved Ohio Transfer 36.

Ohio Transfer 36 course(s) or the full module completed at one

college or university will automatically meet the requirements of

individual Ohio Transfer 36 course(s) or the full Ohio Transfer 36 at

another college or university once the student is admitted. Students

may be required, however, to meet additional general education

requirements at the institution to which they transfer. For example, a

student who completes the Ohio Transfer 36 at Institution S (sending

institution) and then transfers to Institution R (receiving institution) is

said to have completed the Ohio Transfer 36 portion of Institution R's

general education program. Institution R, however, may have general

education courses that go beyond its Ohio Transfer 36. State policy

initially required that all courses in the Ohio Transfer 36 be

completed to receive its benefit in transfer. However, subsequent

policy revisions have extended this benefit to the completion of

individual Ohio Transfer 36 courses on a course-by-course basis.

A complete list of approved OT36 courses for Sinclair can be viewed

at: https://reports-cems.transfercredit.ohio.gov

Transfer Assurance Guides

Transfer Assurance Guides (TAGs) courses are pre-major/beginning

major courses that have been identified as common requirements

across public bachelor's degree programs. They are guaranteed to

transfer and apply to specific TAG-related degree/program

requirements as equivalent courses.

TAGs identify common major course work that is guaranteed to

transfer. Students may elect to complete the full TAG or any subset

of courses from the TAG. Because of specific major requirements,

early identification of a student's intended major is encouraged.

A complete list of approved TAG courses for Sinclair can be viewed

at: https://reports-cems.transfercredit.ohio.gov

Career-Technical Assurance Guides

Collaboration among the Ohio Department of Higher Education, the

Ohio Department of Education, and other key stakeholders led to the

development of policies and procedures to create statewide career-

technical discipline specific articulation agreements and further

ensure that students completing coursework at an adult or secondary

career-technical institution can articulate and transfer agreed-upon

technical courses/programs to any Ohio public institution of higher

education and among Ohio public institutions of higher education

"without unnecessary duplication or institutional barriers."

Career-Technical Assurance Guides (CTAGs) are statewide

articulation agreements that guarantee the recognition of learning

which occurs at public adult and secondary career-technical

institutions and have the opportunity for the award of college credit

toward technical courses/programs at any public higher education

institution. CTAGs serve as advising tools, identifying the statewide

content guarantee and describing other conditions or obligations (e.g.,

program accreditation or industry credential) associated with the

guarantee.

A complete list of approved CTAG courses for Sinclair can be

viewed at: https://reports-cems.transfercredit.ohio.gov

Industry Recognized Credential Transfer Assurance Guides

Industry Recognized Credential Transfer Assurance Guides (ITAGs)

are a statewide transfer initiative that guarantees the awarding of

college-level credit to students who earn agreed-upon, industry-

recognized credentials. The award of credit is based upon the

knowledge, skills, and competencies gained through credential

attainment, regardless of where the learning to prepare for the

credential took place.

The approved ITAG courses for Sinclair can be viewed

here https://www.sinclair.edu/about/offices/provost/articulation-

itags/

Military Transfer Assurance Guides

In response to the legislative requirement (Ohio Revised Code

3333.164) to create a military articulation and transfer assurance

guide for college-level learning that took place through military

training, experience, and coursework, college credit will be granted to

students with military training, experience, and/or coursework that is

recognized by the American Council on Education (ACE) or a

regionally accredited military institution, such as Community College

of the Air Force

In order to streamline the awarding, transferability, and applicability

of college credit, service members and veterans are guaranteed to

earn certain types of credit(s) or course(s) as specified in the Military

Transfer Assurance Guides (MTAGs), which are based on the

endorsed baseline standards and procedures by the Chancellor.

Equivalent course(s), credits for courses, or block of credit is to be

awarded and applied towards general education and/or major course

requirements at the receiving institution in accordance with the

MTAG guarantee. There is some training, experience, and

coursework that the receiving institution may be able to award

college credit only toward general or free electives.

In addition, public institutions of higher education shall ensure that

appropriate equivalent credit is awarded for military training,

experience, and coursework that meet the baseline standards and

procedures according to the Ohio Revised Code 3333.164. This

requirement goes beyond credit/course awarded based on the MTAG

alignment process.

Ohio Guaranteed Transfer Pathways

The Ohio Guaranteed Transfer Pathways (OGTPs) are designed to

provide a clear path for students pursuing an associate degree at Ohio

community colleges who plan to transfer to an Ohio public university

to complete a bachelor's degree in an equivalent field. The OGTPs

constitute an agreement between public community colleges and

universities confirming that community college courses meet major

preparation requirements and will be counted and applied toward the

bachelor's degree. Students still must meet all university program

admission requirements.

A student who completes all of the coursework within a major-

specific Ohio Guaranteed Transfer Pathway (OGTP) will be eligible

to earn an associate degree from an Ohio public community college.

Successful completion of the OGTP will be recorded on the student's

transcript, and upon transfer to an Ohio public university, the student

should receive junior standing and all coursework taken as part of the

pathway will transfer to the university toward the completion of a

bachelor's degree in an equivalent field. OGTP builds upon the

existing statewide credit transfer guarantees including the Ohio

Transfer 36, Transfer Assurance Guides, Military Transfer Assurance

Guides, and Career-Technical Assurance Guides.

OGTPs can be found on the Ohio Department of Higher Education's

website at https://www.ohiohighered.org/OGTP.

Apprenticeship Pathway Programs

The Apprenticeship Pathways initiative advocates for individuals

completing apprenticeships by incorporating their learning into

academic credit, thereby saving them time and money and

encouraging them to advance their academic credentials to contribute

to a strong, educated workforce.

Ohio apprenticeship programs partner with public two-year

institutions to provide technology-specific statewide articulation

agreements that recognize non-traditional prior learning. College

credit is awarded toward a technical associate degree. Each

agreement simplifies student advising by outlining how

apprenticeship training in a certain pathway applies to an applied

associate degree and lists remaining courses required to complete the

degree. The application of the credit toward a technical associate

degree in these agreements is guaranteed at the participating

receiving institutions.

Advanced Placement (AP) Exams

The State of Ohio, working with public institutions of higher

education, has initiated policies to facilitate the ease of transition

from high school to college, as well as between and among Ohio's

public colleges and universities.

Beginning in the Fall term 2009:

Students obtaining an Advanced Placement (AP) exam score of 3 or

above will be awarded the aligned course(s) and credits for the AP

exam area(s) successfully completed.

General Education courses and credits received will be applied

towards graduation and will satisfy a general education requirement

if the course(s) to which the AP area is equivalent fulfill(s) a

requirement.

If an equivalent course is not available for the AP exam area

completed, elective or area credit will be awarded in the appropriate

academic discipline and will be applied towards graduation where

such elective credit options exist within the academic major.

Additional courses or credits may be available when a score of 4 or 5

is obtained. Award of credit for higher score values varies depending

on the institution and academic discipline.

In academic disciplines containing highly dependent sequences

(Sciences, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics - STEM)

students are strongly advised to confer with the college/university

advising staff to ensure they have the appropriate foundation to be

successful in advanced coursework within the sequence.

A complete list of approved AP courses for Sinclair can be viewed at:

https://reports-cems.transfercredit.ohio.gov

One-Year Option Credit Award

The One-Year Option builds upon Ohio's articulation and transfer

system to help more adults accelerate their preparation for work by

earning a technical associate degree. Consistent with the philosophy

of the Career-Technical Assurance Guides (CTAGs), the One-Year

Option guarantees that college credit will be awarded for college-

level learning that occurs through adult programs at public career-

technical institutions.

Adults who complete a career-technical education program of study

consisting of a minimum of 900 clock-hours and achieve an industry-

recognized credential approved by the Chancellor shall receive thirty

(30) semester hours of technical course credit toward a standardized

Associate of Technical Study Degree (ATS) upon matriculation at a

public institution of higher education that confers such a degree. The

30 semester hours will be awarded as a block of credit rather than

credit for specific courses. Proportional credit is to be awarded

toward the ATS degree for adults who complete a program of study

between 600 and 899 clock hours and achieved an industry-

recognized credential approved by the Chancellor.

The credit earned through the One-Year Option will be applied to

ATS degrees bearing the following standardized degree titles:

1. Associate of Technical Study in Building and Industrial

Technology

2. Associate of Technical Study in Business Technology

3. Associate of Technical Study in Health and Allied Health

Technology

4. Associate of Technical Study in Information Technology

5. Associate of Technical Study in Services Technology

College-Level Examination Program (CLEP)

The State of Ohio, working with public institutions of higher

education and statewide faculty panels, has developed policies to

recognize students' prior learning and to facilitate the articulation and

guaranteed transfer of such learning between Ohio's public colleges

and universities.

College credit is guaranteed for students who achieve an established

College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) test score for exams

that have been endorsed statewide as college level. Statewide faculty

panels aligned CLEP exams to equivalent Ohio Transfer 36 and

Transfer Assurance Guide (TAG) courses, as appropriate. If an

equivalent course is not available for the CLEP exam area, by

default, endorsed elective or area credit will still be awarded and

applied towards graduation.

Specific endorsed alignments and scores for individual CLEP exams

that are outlined in the College- Level Examination Program (CLEP)

Endorsed Alignment Policies document are available on the Ohio

Department of Higher Education website at

https://www.ohiohighered.org/transfer/clep.

Conditions for Transfer Admission

1. Graduates who are considered transfer students under the

Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS)

definition with associate degrees from Ohio's public

institutions of higher education and a completed, approved

Ohio Transfer 36 shall be admitted to a public institution of

higher education in Ohio, provided their cumulative grade-

point average is at least 2.0 for all previous college-level

courses and and other institutional admission criteria, such

as space availability, adherence to deadlines, payment of

fees, and grade-point average that are fairly and equally

applied to all undergraduate students, have also been

satisfied. Further, these students shall have admission

priority over graduates with an out-of-state associate degree

and other transfer students with transferable and/or

articulated college credit.

2. Associate degree holders who are considered transfer

students under the IPEDS definition and have not

completed the Ohio Transfer 36 from an Ohio public

institution of higher education will be eligible for

preferential consideration for admission as transfer students

as long as the institution's admission criteria, such as the

minimum academic standards, space availability, adherence

to deadlines, and payment of fees, are fairly and equally

applied to all undergraduate students.

3. In order to encourage completion of the baccalaureate

degree, students who are not enrolled in or who have not

earned an degree but have earned 60 semester/90 quarter

hours or more of credit toward a baccalaureate degree with

a cumulative grade-point average of at least a 2.0 for all

previous college-level courses will be eligible for

preferential consideration for admission as transfer students

as long as the institution's admission criteria, such as the

minimum academic standards, space availability, adherence

to deadlines, and payment of fees, are fairly and equally

applied to all undergraduate students.

4. Students who have not earned an associate degree or who

have not earned 60 semester/90 quarter hours of credit with

a grade-point average of at least a 2.0 for all previous

college-level courses will be eligible for admission as

transfer students on a competitive basis.

5. Incoming transfer students admitted to a college or

university shall compete for admission to selective

programs, majors, and units on an equal basis with students

native to the receiving institution.

The admission of transfer students by an institution, however, does

not guarantee admission to any majors, minors, or fields of

concentration at the institution. Some programs have additional

academic and non-academic requirements beyond those for general

admission to the institution (e.g., background check, a grade-point

average higher than a 2.0, or a grade-point average higher than the

average required for admission to the institution). Once admitted,

transfer students shall be subject to the same regulations governing

applicability of catalog requirements as native students. Furthermore,

transfer students shall be accorded the same class standing and other

privileges as native students on the basis of the number of credits

earned. All residency requirements must be completed at the

receiving institution.

Responsibilities of Students

To maximize transfer credit application, prospective transfer students

must take responsibility for planning their course of study to meet

both the academic and non-academic requirements of the institution

to which they desire to articulate or transfer credit as early as

possible. The student is responsible to investigate and use the

information, advising, and other available resources to develop such a

plan. Students should actively seek program, degree, and transfer

information; meet with an advisor from both the current and

receiving institutions to assist them in preparing a course of study

that meets the academic requirements for the program/degree to

which they plan to transfer; use the various electronic course/program

transfer and applicability database systems, including Ohio Transfer

to Degree Guarantee web resources; and select courses/programs at

their current institution that satisfy requirements at the receiving

institution to maximize the application of transfer credit. Specifically,

students should identify early in their collegiate studies an institution

and major to which they desire to transfer. Furthermore, students

should determine if there are foreign language requirements or any

special course requirements that can be met during the freshman or

sophomore year. This will enable students to plan and pursue a

course of study that will better articulate with the receiving

institution's major.

Appeals Process

Following the evaluation of a student transcript from another

institution, the receiving college institution will provide the student

with a Statement of Transfer and Articulated Credit Applicability

(Degree Audit Report). A student disagreeing with the application of

transfer and/or articulated credit by the receiving institution must file

his/her appeal in writing within ninety (90) days of receipt of the

Statement of Transfer and Articulated Credit Applicability. The

institution shall respond to the appeal within thirty (30) days of the

receipt of the appeal at each appeal level.

Student Complaints Following Transfer Appeals at the Receiving

Institution

After a student exhausts the appeals process at the receiving

institution and chooses to pursue further action, the Ohio Department

of Higher Education (ODHE) responds to formal written complaints

related to Ohio Articulation and Transfer Policy against public,

independent non-profit, and proprietary institutions of higher

education in Ohio. While the ODHE has limited authority over

colleges and universities and cannot offer legal advice or initiate civil

court cases, staff will review written complaints submitted through its

established process and work with student complainants and

institutions.

Articulation Agreements

Articulation agreements are formal agreements between

organizations detailing the recognition of college credit between

those organizations. Sinclair uses articulation agreements as a means

to avoid duplication of resources and to encourage and enhance

students' interest in post-secondary education and transfer from one

institution to another. The college has developed articulation

agreements with secondary schools, hospitals, professional

organizations, and colleges and universities.

Articulation agreements can be categorized in two ways:

• Incoming agreements with secondary schools, hospitals and

professional organizations indicate how credits will be

recognized at Sinclair Community College. Known as

articulated credit, information regarding this option can be

requested from an Academic Advisor by calling (937) 512-

3700 or emailing plaprograms@sinclair.edu.

• Outgoing agreements with other colleges and universities

indicate how Sinclair Community College programs and

courses will transfer to those institutions. Information

regarding current agreements can be viewed at:

www.sinclair.edu/agreements

Students who have completed courses in higher education and want

to know which colleges and universities will accept those courses and

apply them to a degree should visit: www.transferology.com

Transferology will provide quick answers from hundreds of

institutions in a streamlined and dynamic interface.

General Education

Sinclair Community College believes every educated person should

possess a set of basic, common knowledge, skills and attitudes.

Through Sinclair's courses and programs of study, a student acquires

breadth of knowledge and gains competence to achieve independent

intellectual inquiry. Upon completion of the associate degree at

Sinclair, the student will be able to demonstrate the following six

general education outcomes:

1. Oral Communication: the creation of common

understanding through the use of verbal and nonverbal

messages in a variety of contexts.

2. Written Communication: the creation of understanding

through composition and synthesis of the written word.

3. Information Literacy: the ability to effectively locate,

evaluate, and use information.

4. Critical Thinking: the application of higher order

analytical and creative cognitive processes.

5. Cultural Diversity and Global Citizenship: the ability to

apply knowledge of cultural diversity to real world context

by acknowledging, understanding, and engaging

constructively within the contemporary world.

6. Mathematical Reasoning and Problem Solving: the

application of quantitative problem-solving skills to the

mathematical modelling, analysis and interpretation of real-

world problems.

Ohio Guided Transfer Pathways

The Ohio Guaranteed Transfer Pathways (OGTPs) are designed to

provide a clear path to degree completion for students pursuing

associate degrees who plan to transfer to an Ohio public university to

complete their bachelor's degree. The OGTP's constitute an

agreement between public community colleges and universities

confirming that community college courses meet major preparation

requirements and will be counted and applied toward the bachelor's

degree. Students still must meet all university program admission

requirements, which in some cases may be competitive.

Students may review all Ohio Guaranteed Transfer Pathways

available at every Ohio public college and university on the Ohio

Department of Higher Education's Ohio Guaranteed Transfer

Pathway website. Students who complete these pathways at Sinclair,

will have the designation "OGTP COMPLETED" on their official

Sinclair Community College transcript.

The following are approved Ohio Guaranteed Transfer Pathways

for Sinclair Community College:

• Associate of Arts to Philosophy Bachelor of Arts

• Biology Associate of Science to Biology Bachelor of

Science

• Business Administration Associate of Science to Business

Bachelor of Science

• History Associate of Arts to History Bachelor of Arts

• Mathematics Associate of Science to Mathematics

Bachelor of Arts

• Mathematics Associate of Science to Mathematics

Bachelor of Science

Please contact your Sinclair Academic Advisor for additional

information or if you intend to complete one of the above Ohio

Guaranteed Transfer Pathways.

Published Program Length

The chart below represents the amount of classroom time that each

program will take to complete. For example, a 24 credit hour short-

term certificate will take a student going full-time, two semesters to

complete. Following Sinclair's academic year, two semesters is

equivalent to 1 academic year, 9 months or 32 weeks.

Months were calculated based on years x 9 months because budgets

for an academic year are based on 9 months.

Weeks were calculated based on the number of terms in a year x 16

weeks.

Programs by Degree

There are three types of two-year degree programs and one type

of four-year degree program offered at Sinclair:

University parallel programs are associate of arts or associate of

science degree programs designed specifically for transfer to a four-

year institution.

Career programs are associate of applied science degree programs

designed to prepare for a particular job or vocational area or transfer

to a four-year school.

Individualized degrees are associate of individualized study or

associate of technical study degree programs designed for specialized

interest, often combining multiple degree programs.

Associate of Arts (AA) and Associate of Science (AS)

Associate of Arts and Associate of Science degrees are designed for

students wishing to complete the first two years of a bachelor’s

degree, as well as those desiring two years of a liberal arts education.

Associate of Applied Science (AAS)

Associate of Applied Science degrees are awarded in recognition of

successful completion of career technical education programs and

prepare students for immediate employment upon graduation. The

curricula for applied associate degree programs are described in

terms of technical and non-technical studies. Non-technical studies

include general education and courses that serve as a base for the

technical field. Some degrees require program prerequisites as noted.

Program prerequisites are courses or requirements that must be

successfully completed prior to entering the program.

Associate of Technical Study (ATS)

Associate of Technical Study degrees are awarded for successful

completion of a planned program of study designed to respond to the

need for specialized technical education. The program must have an

area of concentration which is equivalent to at least 30 semester

credit hours in technical studies and a clearly identifiable career

objective. The area of concentration can either be formed by: a) a

coherent combination of technical courses selectively drawn from

two or more technical programs currently offered by the college to

serve a career objective that would not be adequately addressed by

one of the existing programs alone; or b) courses completed or

training received by a student at other institutions of higher

education, career centers, or other educational enterprises judged by

the institution to be of college level and for which the institution

awards degree credit.

Associate of Individualized Study (AIS)

Associate of Individualized Study degrees are awarded for the

satisfactory completion of an individually planned program designed

to serve an educational objective that could not be served through

another degree program of the institution. The program, planned by

the student and advisor must contain an area of concentration

consisting of a minimum of 20 semester credit hours which is formed

according to one of the following models: a) an interdisciplinary, but

coherent combination of courses drawn from a minimum of two and

a maximum of four instructional areas; b) up to forty semester credit

hours awarded by the institution for documentable educational

experiences or courses completed at other institutions of higher

education or educational enterprises judged by the institution to be of

college level; or c) an unusual but academically coherent

combination of technical and general studies courses.

Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS)

Bachelor of Applied Science degrees offer educational opportunities

to students who have completed an AAS degree and are now seeking

to complete a four-year degree.

Some degree programs contain embedded certificates. These are

certificate programs that contain all of the same courses required for

a degree program. When a student completes these requirements

while they are pursuing their selected degree program, the

certificate(s) will be automatically awarded. If a student does not

want to automatically receive embedded certificates, they must come

to the Registration & Student Records office on the Dayton Campus,

or the front desk at any Regional Center to fill out the required form

to prevent the embedded certificate(s) from being awarded. The form

must be completed and submitted during the first term the degree

program is declared.

Certificate (CRT) and Short Term Certificate (STC)

Certificate programs are academic programs of study designed to

prepare students for a particular career area, but not at the level

required for an associate degree. There are one year certificate

programs and short term technical certificates. The technical

certificates are much more industry-focused and designed for

workforce preparation.

Aviation Maintenance Technology, AAS

Program Code: AVIAO.S.AAS • Credit Hours: 89

Description

This program leads to an Associate of Applied Science in Aviation

Maintenance Technology and provides the knowledge and skills

required by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for

certification as an Aviation Maintenance Technician (AMT). To

become an AMT, two ratings are required, the Airframe (A) and the

Powerplant (P); this is commonly referred to as an "A&P

Certificate". Students will complete the requirements for Sinclair's

General, Airframe and Powerplant Aviation Maintenance certificates

and will refine the knowledge and skills they have learned with

extensive hands-on training in the aviation maintenance lab. Students,

having completed this course work, will be eligible to test for the

FAA A&P Certificate. The graduate can either continue towards a

bachelor's degree in aviation (or related field) or can begin a career as

an AMT. Sinclair is an FAA-approved Aviation Maintenance

Technician School (AMTS) under Part 147.

This degree program contains one or more embedded

certificates which will be automatically awarded when the

certificate requirements are completed. If you do not want to receive

the embedded certificate(s), please notify Registration and

Student Records at [email protected].

Accreditation

The programs General and Airframe certificates are approved by the

FAA under air agency certificate XSCT086K.

Career Opportunities

The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects "favorable future job

opportunities" over the long term as older mechanics and technicians

retire. Maintenance Repair Organizations (M.R.O.s) are contracting

for the work that airlines used to do in house. Many of the M.R.O.s

are in need of maintenance technicians. Boeing Commercial Aircraft

Company recently predicted 1,000,000 more jobs in aviation in the

next 15 years. Airbus of Europe has predicted about 800,000 more

jobs in the next 15-20 years. Both predictions are based on

anticipated growth in aircraft production and flying passengers. Many

mechanics will reach retirement age in the next three years as a result

of an interruption of current certificates issued by the FAA. More jet

aircraft means more need for mechanics. The general aviation sector

already has a shortage of certificated mechanics.

Career Opportunities

Employment for the health fitness professional is expected to

increase. Aging baby boomers, one group that is

increasingly becoming concerned with staying healthy and physically

fit, will be the main driver of employment growth. An additional

factor is the combination of a reduction in the number of physical

education programs in schools with parents' growing concern

about childhood obesity. This factor will increase the need for

health fitness professionals to work with children in non-school

settings, such as health clubs. Increasingly, parents also are hiring

personal trainers for their children, and the number of weight-training

gyms for children is expected to continue to grow. Businesses are

also recognizing the benefits of health promotion and fitness

programs for their employees. Health care reform and preventative

medicine are other factors that are influencing growth.

Health Information Management, AAS

Program Code: HIM.S.AAS • Credit Hours: 62

Description

Health Information Management (HIM) professionals are experts in

the field of managing and protecting patient health

information, administering computer information systems and coding

the diagnoses and procedures for health care services provided to

patients in accordance with medical, administrative, ethical, legal,

accreditation and regulatory requirements of the health care delivery

system.

The Health Information Management program is designed to be

completed in five (5) semesters on a full-time basis when the

student begins the technical portion of the program. Students

preferring to complete on a part-time basis may take longer than five

sequential semesters. The degree program consists of open-

enrollment courses (general education and division specific) and

program-specific courses with limited enrollment. The open-

enrollment courses may be taken prior to entry into the limited-

enrollment courses. To qualify for entry to limited-enrollment

courses, please see the Applicant Information packet located on the

webpage. A minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 and completion of

prerequisite courses are required. A grade of "C" or higher is required

in all program courses.

The curriculum includes a professional practice experience (PPE).

Each fall term, two cohorts of students begin the technical

courses that have limited enrollment. Local cohort students

(students who live generally in the 14-county area surrounding

Sinclair) are assigned to local PPE sites. The remote cohort students

(students living generally outside of the 14-county area surrounding

Sinclair) are responsible for securing an appropriate medical facility

for their PPE.

Most second-year HIM courses are limited-enrollment courses. All

courses in the program are available online. Students may enroll in

courses face-to-face on campus, online, or a combination. Face-to-

face courses on campus are only available during the day. Students

are generally required to complete their PPE during daytime business

hours.

Employment prospects are excellent throughout the nation. HIM

graduates work in hospitals, clinics, ambulatory care centers,

skilled nursing facilities, rehabilitation centers, long term care

facilities, mental health care and psychiatric facilities, home health

care agencies, hospice facilities, physician offices, insurance

companies, law firms, colleges and universities, state and federal

agencies, consulting firms, medical research institutions and

companies that market health information products and services.

Note: For students under age 18 there may be restrictions on

participating in certain Health Sciences programs. Any student under

age 18 must contact the program director/department chair to discuss

whether he or she may enroll.

Accreditation

The Health Information Management program is fully accredited by

the Commission on Accreditation for Health Informatics and

Information Management Education (CAHIIM). Upon

successful completion of the HIM program, students are eligible to

take the national certification exam to become a Registered

Health Information Technician (RHIT).
