If I am receiving a scholarship, may I use it while participating in ACA?
You have the option to use your scholarship while at ACA. However, academic scholarships are only for 4 years. So, if you participate in ACA for a year and use your scholarship, you will not be eligible for the scholarship your last year at Oakwood if more than 4 years.

Who can participate in the Cooperative Education Program (COOP)?
COOP is for students who desire to take a course that is unavailable at Oakwood for a given semester. The student must be a full-time student, overall average must be 2.00 or higher, and the request must be approved by the advisor and other appropriate personnel.

What are the procedures if I want to COOP a class?

1. Obtain a COOP Form from the Registrar’s office. 2.
2. Fill out the form completely. The course name, number, day(s), and time from the visiting school must be included. Also, to receive proper credit, the Oakwood equivalent must be indicated.
3. Secure all signatures. If the class is outside of the major, the Department Chair for that area must sign as the related department.
4. Register for the COOP Class (course# is CP 300). If the student has already registered, the COOP Class must be added before bringing the form to the Registrar’s office.

What should I do after the COOP Form is submitted to the Registrar’s Office?
Go to class. If the class is full or there is a problem, the visiting school will notify the Registrar’s Office and you will be informed immediately. A local contact number should be indicated on the COOP Form.

Do I need to pay at the visiting school?
The COOP class is part of the Oakwood schedule, so payment is made here.

What if I choose to drop the COOP Class?
Since the class is on the Oakwood schedule, the student must complete a Drop/Add Form and submit it (with signatures) to the Registrar’s office. The visiting school will be notified that the class has been dropped and the instructor will be informed. NOTE: The student should not just stop going to class! Failure to follow these procedures could result in a grade of “FA” or “F” from the visiting school.

Why am I not on the roster at the visiting school?
Since you are a visiting student, you will not be listed on the roster at the other school. However, the COOP Form has been sent to that school’s Registrar’s office, who should inform the instructor. Let the instructor know that you are a visiting student and ask to be “penciled in” on the roll. The other schools do not use the term “COOP” so that could cause confusion. If problems persist, call the Registrar’s office at Oakwood.

How will I get the grade when the class is over?
A grade sheet will be sent to the visiting school’s Registrar’s office. When it is time for grades, that office will submit it to the appropriate instructor. All grade sheets will be returned to the Registrar’s office at Oakwood and will be posted to the transcript. NOTE: Schedule dates vary at other schools, so grades may not be available by the end of Oakwood’s semester.

I took a class during the summer, however I don’t see the grade on my Oakwood transcript. What should I do?
Request the school to send an official transcript to the Registrar’s office at Oakwood. Once it is received, the credit will be transferred according to the transient letter information. If a transient letter request was not submitted, the course(s) will be put into the computer as they appear on the transcript. However, an Oakwood department chair will have to evaluate the course(s), which will delay posting. Once the evaluation process is over, the course(s) will be visible on the Oakwood transcript.

How are courses evaluated for transfer students?
For new students, the Office of Admissions enters the courses into the system. Department chairs evaluate them and provide the Oakwood equivalent course numbers. Once this process is complete, the courses will be visible on the student’s transcript. If a course does not yet appear on the transcript, it might be awaiting evaluation. All transfer courses will appear in semester hours. For students already enrolled, the transfer courses are entered by the Registrar’s office. After being evaluated by the department chairs, the courses appear on the Oakwood transcript.

Is it possible for me to receive a transient letter during the Fall and Spring semesters if I am not enrolled at Oakwood?
A transient letter is provided during times when school is not in session or attendance at colleges and universities that are over 50 miles of Huntsville during fall and spring semesters.

Once I have completed the course/s for the summer, what must I do about receiving the grades?
You must have an official transcript sent to this office to receive academic credit. Transient credit with grades below C- is unacceptable.

What should I do if I want to take courses at another institution during the summer?
Complete the Transient Request form listing all courses you would like to take. Provide the name and complete mailing address for the school. List all classes (course name and number). The Oakwood University equivalent course name and number must be given. Indicate whether or not the course is a repeat. Obtain signatures from your advisor, your department chairperson and the related department chairperson (if the class is outside your major). You are responsible for obtaining all required signatures. Each school requires a separate request form. Allow 3-5 days for processing. There will be a charge of $5.00 for faxing.
