ATTENTION COLLEGE CREDIT PLUS STUDENTS
Recently you received a letter from the Ohio Department of Education explaining how many credits hours students will be receiving for the 2015-2016 school year. Some letters explained that whatever credits the state did not cover the students would be responsible for. While this may be the case, we at SMCC will be honoring our commitment to our parents that SMCC will cover the entire cost of the program. As a school we will be covering any expenses beyond the state awards. This program will be no cost to our families unless a student withdraws from the class after August 30th for Fall semester or fails the course.

Additionally, books will be paid for by SMCC. Students taking classes on our campus will receive their books on the first day of class. Students taking classes at BGSU Firelands campus must submit a book list to Miss Howman as soon as possible. These books will be treated as any other textbook. If the book is lost or damaged, the student will be billed for the item.
