Accredita tion On December 5, 1962, the State of Ohio granted Cuyahoga Community College a charter to operate a public community college consistent with the provisions of chapter 3354, Ohio Revised Code. The programs and functions of Cuyahoga Community College, like those of other public institutions of higher learning in Ohio, are coordinated by the Ohio Board of Regents. The College is a member of the North Central Junior College Association and is approved by the Veterans Administration to provide training under Public Laws 550 (Korean Veterans) and 634 (War Orphans). When the first class has graduated an application for accreditation by the North Central Association of Colleges will be made. An application is not available until that time. To assure that satisfactory credits earned at Cuyahoga Community College will be transferable to senior institutions in the interim period, documents indicating acceptance of Cuyahoga Community College credits have been obtained from many colleges and universities. Following are representative excerpts from an engineering college, a state university, and a private university: "We at Case will consider transfer students from Cuyahoga Community College on exactly the same basis as we do from other colleges." Frank S. Badger, Director of Admissions Case Institute of Technology "You are assured that a student completing one or two years of work at Cuyahoga Community College will be accepted at Kent State University . . . after completion of three quarters of work with a cumulative point-average of 'C ' or better (at Kent State) . . . . All of the work taken at Cuyahoga Community College 'will be accepted for full credit where grades of 'C ' or better are earned." Robert 1. White, President Kent State University "All university parallel transfer credits in which grades of 'C ' or higher have been earned will be accepted unconditionally after the student has successfully completed one academic year of study with a 'C' average in either a full or part time program at John Carroll University." William J. Millor, Executive Dean John Carroll University A student is advised to consult with his counselor regarding the transferability of his credits to the college of his choice.
