Delivery Methods
Virtual College (VC) – Students complete all of the

with a computer, required software for classes, and email. Weekly
contact is made with the instructor. All VC students are required
to take the UN072, “Success Strategies” proficiency test.

scheduled classes and follow the guidelines given by the instructor.
Transfer Credits
Students who wish to transfer to another college or university
must contact that institution directly. The University of
Northwestern Ohio will assist if necessary. The University
of Northwestern Ohio is accredited by the Higher Learning
Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools,
thus allowing many of your credits to transfer to other institutions.
Proficiency Exams

in some 100-level courses. There is a charge for these exams. Please contact the cashier's office. All tests must be completed prior to
the quarter or session the student plans to attend classes to allow for processing.

Course Load
Virtual College – Students may take only one class
the first quarter. Upon successful completion of the course
(the students must earn a C or better); they may then
elect to take up to two courses in following quarters.
Traditional – Students
may take up to two classes each quarter.
Dual Enrollment Program
In an effort to strengthen our partnerships with area high schools, we have instituted a dual enrollment program. This program is designed to enhance the academic rigor of high school curricula and give high school students the opportunity to earn college credit without leaving their home high school. Students must have a 3.0 high school accumulative grade point average or be recommended by their high school guidance counselor.
Partnering high schools will teach a duplication of a UNOH course within a regularly scheduled high school class. High school teachers must meet qualification standards and are mentored by university administrative staff. The standard application fee will be waived for dual enrollment students. Students must earn a passing grade to receive college credit.
