TRANSFER:  Due to the nature and setup of program-specific requirements for the transfer of credits, please speak with our counselor (419-499-4663 x335) for program-specific information. This would include students wishing to transfer between programs within EHOVE Career Center or transfer into EHOVE from other institutions.

FACULTY AND STAFF:  All instructors are qualified practitioners in their area of instruction with a minimum of three (3) years of related work experience and are certified instructors by the Ohio Department of Education.

STUDENT HANDBOOK:  EHOVE Career Center’s Student Handbook is readily available to prospective students, current students, and constituents. The handbook includes information about student conduct, the grading system, and student grievance procedure. For more information visit www.EHOVE.net.

CONFIRMATION OF COURSES:  Once registered, plan to attend the course as scheduled. You will be contacted only if the course is canceled or rescheduled. We reserve the right to postpone, discontinue, combine, or cancel a course before or on the first-course meeting date. We attempt to contact all students if courses need to be canceled. All tuition, application, supply, and book fees are refunded if we cancel a course. Career test fees are non-refundable.
