ADMISSIONS REQUIREMENTS (continued): For the Cosmetology, Industrial Maintenance w/Hydraulics/Pneumatics, Welding, Certified Nursing Assis-tant, and OPOTC Peace Officer, WorkKeys will be given; however, we will only use WorkKeys skill levels to provide career advising and to assign/provide appropriate intervention based on comparing the student’s skill level with the Ohio Mean’s Jobs recommended WorkKeys skill level. Students scoring less than 3 in any area may be required to complete a minimum of 12 hours of intervention leading to an acceptable level in the lack-ing area. See program page for additional admissions requirements.

It is our goal to adequately advise, intervene, and support potential students resulting in successful completion of our various programs. ADMISSION WITHOUT A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA OR GED: The following programs will be con-sidered for admission without a high school diploma or a GED; however, it should be noted that Federal Aid re-quires a high school diploma or GED. Listed beside each program is the score we will use to determine if a per-son can enter without a high school diploma or GED.

The Career Advisor and the Director will consider student goals, past experiences, instructor input, the program of interest, and job targets for entry. The Director reserves the right to require completion of assigned interven-tion and require an acceptable academic level in the lacking area prior to enrollment. BACKGROUND CHECKS: Some of our programs require background checks for the controlling board and other programs require background checks for on-site clinical experiences. Failure to successfully complete these experiences will result in failure of the program. Buckeye Hills Adult Career Center has clinical agree-ments with qualifying sites requiring either analysis of a student’s background check or a copy of the students background check. Some sites require a BCI while others require both BCI and FBI checks. Before assigning a student to a site, the student would need to submit a copy of the appropriate background check to the Buckeye Hills Adult Career Center Office unless the student is able to make direct arrangements with the site. By giving Buckeye Hills Adult Career Center a copy of the appropriate background checks, the student is giving Buckeye Hills Adult Career Center permission to analyze, share results and/or send a copy to the corresponding Clinical Site. All background checks will be kept in a secure location and not shared with agencies or people unrelated to the above-described purpose. The decision to allow a student participation rests on the clinical site and not Buck-eye Hills Adult Career Center.

FINANCIAL AID SERVICES

FINANCIAL AID: Financial Aid is available for qualified students who complete a program of at least 600 clock hours or more.

Federal Pell Grant - The main source of financial aid is the Federal Pell Grant. This grant does not require repayment and is available to assist eligible students with tuition. Eligibility is based on the student’s prior year income (and in some cases, the parent’s income), family size, and selected program of training.

Direct Subsidized Loan - Based on need and repayment normally begins six months after you leave school. No interest is charged while the student is in school; however interest will begin as soon as student leaves school. Maximum amount is $3,500 for both dependent and independent students. Amounts for less than 900 hour students are prorated based on the number of hours in the program.

Direct Unsubsidized Loan - Not need based and repayment normally begins six months after student leaves school. Interest begins as soon a disbursement is drawn down but payments are not required until six months after the student leaves the program.

Note: Applications are available online for the above funding at www.fafsa.ed.gov. Buckeye Hills Career Center’s (Gallia-Jackson-Vinton JVSD) code number is 014071. Interest rates for both subsidized and unsubsidized are determined at the end of each school year by the federal government.

Military Veteran’s Funding Options - Once the student has completed the VA application and has enrolled in the program, the Financial Aid Office will certify the VA application.

Bureau of Vocational Rehabilitation (BVR) - Financial assistance may be available from this local agency for students with physical, mental or emotional disabilities that present a handicap to employment. Contact your local or area Bureau of Vocational Rehabilitation office.

Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) - Financial assistance may be available from this program for students who qualify. Contact your local county Job and Family Services Office for more infor-mation.

APPLICATION STUDENT AID: Students are responsible for completing a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA is processed by the U.S. Department of Education and the results are sent to the student in a document known as a Student Aid Report (SAR). The school cannot determine an award without a FAFSA. The process for completing the FAFSA is as follows:

Go to www.fsaid.ed.gov and apply for an FSA ID. If you are a dependent student, a parent must also apply for an ID. This ID will be used to access your FAFSA account in future years so be sure to create an ID that you can remember.

Complete a FAFSA on line. The web address is www.fafsa.ed.gov. The school code for BHCC (Gallia-Jackson-Vinton JVSD) is 014071.

If you provide an email address, the Department of Education will send your SAR by email within 3-5 days. If you have not provided an email address it will arrive by mail with 3 weeks.

Once the student receives the SAR, contact the Financial Aid Department to determine the award amount. If there are issues with the FAFSA, the student must resolve those issues before any award amount can be deter-mined.
