NONDISCRIMINATION STATEMENT

Ohio Mid-Western College’s mission statement emphasizes our commitment to providing equal educational opportunities for students without regard to race, color, gender, disability or national origin. As a private institution, we reserve the right to deny admission to any applicant whose academic preparation, character, or personal conduct is determined to be inconsistent with our goals, purpose, and objectives.

HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES

1. A completed and signed Application for Admission
2. A $35.00 non-refundable application fee
3. Request that the high school send the Office of Admission an official transcript copy covering all work completed at time of application. A final high school transcript will be required upon graduation.
4. Applicants who are not high school graduates must submit a copy of their General Education Development Test (GED) scores.

Transfer applicants who have attended another college should submit the following:

1. A completed and signed Application for Admission.
2. A $35.00 non-refundable application fee.
3. Request that the high school send the Office of Admission a final official transcript copy. This will be waived if you have completed 24 credit hours or more of college-level coursework.
4. Request an official transcript be sent to the Office of Admission from each college or university attended.

A request to waive this requirement can be initiated through the Office of Admissions if the student has previous college-level coursework in English and Math.

ABILITY TO BENEFIT

Ohio Mid-Western College recognizes that students may not have the educational background that fits the application for admissions. In such cases, it will consider admission on an individual basis. In certain cases, if an applicant has not completed his secondary education, he may enroll and take individual courses under the conditions of Ability-to-Benefit requirements. Such academic credits could be validated upon completion of work for high school diploma or passing the tests of General Education Development (GED).
