Semester Transition
Cincinnati State will shift to a semester calendar in Fall 2012, as part of the Ohio Board of Regents' recommendation that all Ohio public schools have similar academic calendars.
If you graduate before Fall 2012, the switch to semesters will not affect you. But, if you’re planning to be here at that time, you probably have questions about how the calendar change will affect you, and we’re working hard to provide answers.
We are still working through a number of details, and they will be provided here as they become available. In the meantime, please review our Promises to Students , or consult the frequently asked questions. If you still have questions or concerns, please contact us via email at semesters@cincinnatistate.edu. We're here to help!
