The Office of Student
Life is here to support and assist you. We are excited to have you as a
part of our community. Please take the time to familiarize yourself with
your student handbook.
I
hope you will find this handbook helpful; it has been developed to help you
understand the organization of the Newark campus and to aid you in making
the best possible decisions based on complete and accurate information. Your
handbook contains policies, procedures and guidelines regarding expectations
for general student conduct, residential life, information about programs
and services, social activities and student organizations.
As a member of the Newark campus community, you are expected to be familiar
with either The Ohio State University or Central Ohio Technical College policies and to take
responsibility for your conduct at all times. You will discover that as a
member of this community there are many opportunities and avenues for your
personal growth, intellectual enrichment, and emotional, cultural and social
development. Along with meeting new people and sharing new experiences, you
will be confronted with having to make choices and decisions. Some may be
easy and rather straightforward, others, a bit more complex and challenging.
However, your ability to positively and appropriately meet this
responsibility will be a critical element of your success here at the Newark
campus and an essential part of mature and successful community membership.
This handbook contains some general academic information and regulations;
however, please refer to the Newark campus website, under the heading of
academics, for more in-depth and complete descriptions of academic
requirements and information.
Our commitment is to provide you with many diverse opportunities and
experiences that will assist you in meeting your academic, social and career
goals. The campus recognizes the importance of providing a variety of
support services designed to help ensure your academic success. On the pages
that follow are descriptions of the services available to you as a member of
this community. Whether you are embarking on your academic career or
continuing with your study, rest assured that the faculty, staff and your
peers are eager to help you.
For those of you who are joining us for the first time, let me extend a
special WELCOME to you. I am looking forward to meeting you and helping you
build the kind of experiences that will serve you well in future years.
On behalf of the Office of Student Life, best wishes for a successful and
rewarding career at the Newark campus. If I or any member of the staff of
Student Life can be of assistance to you, please do not hesitate to ask.
Sincerely,
John M. Berry
