ADMISSION INFORMATION

ADMISSIONS REQUIREMENTS (continued):
   For the Cosmetology, Industrial Maintenance w/Hydraulics/Pneumatics, Welding, HVAC-R w/ Plumbing
  and Electrical, Certified Nursing Assistant, 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 lacking 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 pr ogr ams 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 skill levels are in the order of Applied Math, Graphic
Literacy, and Workplace Documents.
    Certified Nursing Assistant (3,3,3)
    Medical Assisting (4,4,4)
   Medical Office (4,4,4)

The Program Coordinator and the Dean of Postsecondary Instruction will consider student goals, past experienc-
es, instructor input, the program of interest, and job targets for entry. The Dean of Postsecondary Instruction re-
serves the right to require completion of assigned intervention and require an acceptable academic level in the
lacking area prior to enrollment.

BACKGROUND CHECKS: Some of our pr ogr ams r equir e backgr ound checks for the contr olling boar d
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.

What you will learn                                                  (Respiratory Therapy is not accredited by COE)
The program is designed to provide an educational
program that will prepare students to practice as qualified
Respiratory Care Practitioners and to serve the community
healthcare agencies by graduating competent and
experienced Respiratory Care Practitioners. The program
will build a solid foundation from which graduates can
evolve with the changing respiratory therapy environment
to grow into well-respected healthcare professionals.

A consortium between the University of Rio Grande/Rio
Grande Community College and Buckeye Hills Career
Center has been established as a means to (a) educate
and train individuals in the science of Respiratory Care, (b)
to develop in those individuals an understanding of the
role of a Respiratory Care Practitioner as an integral part
of the healthcare team, and (c) to produce Respiratory
Care Practitioners who will serve the community with both
competent and technological skills with a caring and
ethical behavior.
