Financial Aid will be adjusted according to your hours of enrollment.
For financial aid purposes:
Full Time Enrollment = 12 or more credit hours
Three-Quarter Time Enrollment = 9 to 11 credit hours;
Half-Time Enrollment = 6 to 8 credit hours;
Less-Than Half-Time Enrollment = 1 to 5 credit hours.
Class Attendance is Required
Each student is expected to attend all scheduled classes. Each Cincinnati State College faculty member will take attendance at every class session. Each student should check with his or her instructor to determine how attendance will be taken, and in what ways, if any, attendance is a factor in grading. A student, who enrolls but did not attend any classes, does not officially drop or withdraw from the class, or withdraws from a course without having attended the class, will be designated as a NO SHOW (NS). The NS designation does not appear on a student’s official academic transcript, HOWEVER:
* A student who receives a NS designation is financially responsible for payment of that course;
* A student is not permitted to withdraw from a course in which a NS designation has been assigned;
* A student who registers and receives student loan proceeds but attends less than half-time (6 credit hours), is ineligible for all of the loan. Cincinnati State will return any loan proceeds used to cover tuition cost and notify the lender that the student has failed to qualify for the loan. Students who received a refund of their loan proceeds to cover educational expenses, must first repay the lender the amount received BEFORE Cincinnati State can certify additional loan eligibility for the student;
