Most current & new students now have access to Spring Registration & Admission processes, Fall course withdrawal date extended, & other updates

(Updated Nov. 22, 2022, 6 p.m.)

As of Tuesday, November 22, almost all Cincinnati State students who are enrolled in Fall Semester classes can select courses for Spring Semester using the online “DualEnroll” tool.

See the article in Daily News for Nov. 21 for more information about DualEnroll.

• About 1,000 students received a link and instructions for DualEnroll on Saturday, Nov. 19. These students had completed an advising appointment (scheduled through Starfish) on or after Oct. 30.
• Nearly 7,000 additional students enrolled in Fall classes received the DualEnroll information today, Nov. 22.
• Additional groups of students, including those enrolled in CCP classes and newly-admitted students, will receive information after the Thanksgiving Break about how to use DualEnroll.
• The subject line on the message to students is “Spring Semester – Reserve Your Courses Now”.
• As of 4 p.m. on Nov. 22, nearly 375 students had reserved Spring classes using DualEnroll.
• Updates to course information in DualEnroll are taking place today and a training session is being provided for academic division “schedulers” and others who frequently update course information. Updates and adjustments will continue as long as this tool is in use, to ensure that students see accurate information about Spring courses.
• A DualEnroll Open House for all employees who have questions or want more information is taking place today, Nov. 22, from 3 to 4:30 p.m. via Zoom.
  • Mollie Miller, Director of Institutional Research and Effectiveness and the “point person” for the College’s implementation of DualEnroll, will lead the session.
  • You can drop in as your schedule allows, but if you want to join, please fill out the DualEnroll Open House registration form.
  • Mollie will offer additional sessions after the Thanksgiving Break if needed.

As of today, Nov. 22, new students can again submit an online application form to seek Admission to the College

The application forms (including the standard form as well as applications for CCP students, international students, and visiting students) are available on the Apply for Admission page of the College website and some other locations on the website.

However, the “apply” links on individual academic program pages of the College website do not currently connect to the new (temporary) application forms.

• About 600 new students who have contacted the College during the network outage received a message today directing them to the new forms to complete their application, including submitting high school transcripts or other needed information.
• The new application forms are variations of software by Paycor that the College Human Resources Department uses to accept job applications. HR staff member Seth Urbont assisted in development of the temporary student application forms.
• Because the student application forms are built from the job application software, some of the language of the forms still sounds like a job application. Please ask new applicants to “go with it” while the temporary forms are in use.
• After the Thanksgiving Break, more information will be available on how information from newly-applying students will be shared with advisors and program chairs.

Last date to withdraw from Fall classes moved to Dec. 17, 2022

The date for students to withdraw from Fall Semester classes has been moved to the last day of the semester– Saturday, Dec. 17– because the network outage problem may be affecting student progress in their classes.

Previously, the deadline to withdraw from 15-week Fall classes was Nov. 28, and the deadline to withdraw from 10-week classes was Dec. 3. Students were informed about the change to the deadline on Nov. 22, via an email message from Provost Robbin Hoopes.

• Information on how to withdraw from a Fall class is available in the “how to” section of the College’s Network Outage Update web page.
• The date for faculty members to submit an Administrative Withdrawal also is extended to Dec. 17. The steps for completing the Administrative Withdrawal process are still in development and more information will be shared after the Thanksgiving Break.

Students can request & receive a Cincinnati State transcript

Processes have been implemented that make it possible for students requesting a Cincinnati State transcript to receive an official document from the College.

The Registrar’s Office is fulfilling the requests for transcripts that have been submitted since the network outage started. The process is not “instant,” so those requesting transcripts are asked to be patient while their request is filled.

Information about how to request a Transcript is available in the “how to” section of the College’s Network Outage Update web page.

New “network outage” web page has updated info & FAQs

The Network Outage Update page on the Cincinnati State website can be viewed at https://www.cincinnatistate.edu/restoration-update.

• The page has been updated several times in the past 24 hours and will continue to be revised whenever new information is available.
• The page includes FAQs for students and employees. This information also is continuously updated.
• If you want to suggest information or FAQs you think should be added to the web page, you can send a message to Web/Digital Manager Brittany King (brittany.king@cincinnatistate.edu).
