In any case where University, college, departmental and/or program policies conflict, the most stringent policy applies. Students should consult with their program for a complete list of all policies and procedures specifically related to their program.

Academic Advising

The Office of Student Services in the College of Health Science and Human Service coordinates academic advising. The office’s mission is to provide quality, timely and comprehensive student services that will enhance student success in achieving academic goals. Although the ultimate responsibility for making personal and educational decisions rests with the student, his/her potential for academic success can improve considerably through relationships with the college’s advisers, who can provide assistance in identifying educational options and enhancing student potential.
Students in the College of Health Science and Human Service are assigned academic advisers by major. Essential services provided by advisers include degree requirements, career opportunities, and interpretations of college and University policies and procedures.

Student Responsibilities

Students are responsible to complete the following:

  • All first-year students must see an adviser each semester; all College of Health Science and Human Service students are strongly encouraged to see an adviser at least once a year.
  • All students must sign and date a program agreement upon declaring a major.
  • Readmit students are responsible for degree requirements in effect at the time of readmission.
  • Students are responsible for fulfilling all degree requirements.
  • Students are encouraged to meet with their academic advisers as needed for assistance.
  • Students must contact the Office of Student Services to schedule an advising appointment.


General Degree Requirements

Students in baccalaureate programs must complete a minimum of 124 hours of course work and have the proper number of credit hours as outlined in their program of study. In all baccalaureate programs, a minimum of 64 hours must be taken at the 2000 levels or above; of these, a minimum of 32 hours must be taken at the 3000 and 4000 levels.

GPA Recalculation for Repeated Courses
The College of Health Science and Human Service permits a maximum of 12 semester hours to be deleted from the GPA calculation. Students who have had their GPAs recomputed under the Academic Forgiveness Policy are not eligible for grade deletions.  Specific programs within the college may have more rigorous requirements for grade deletions of major or related courses.

Withdrawal Policy (W Grades)
The number of credit hours of W is limited to 22 hours for all undergraduate students in degree programs in the College of Health Science and Human Service. Once a student has accumulated 22 hours of W, further withdrawals will be counted as F’s in computation of the student’s GPA for the purposes of probation or suspension. In addition, students risk the loss of financial aid if they accumulate excessive hours of W.

Academic Probation and Suspension
Students with a cumulative GPA of less than 2.0 are automatically placed on probation until a cumulative GPA of 2.0 is achieved. While on probation, it is recommended students enroll for 12 or fewer credit hours. Students on probation must see an adviser.
Academic suspension means the student is prohibited from registering at The University of Toledo for a period of at least one semester. A student is subject to academic suspension if his or her GPA continues to fall below the minimum of 2.0 or if he or she fails to make sufficient progress toward attainment of the degree by accumulating excess W grades. Students may remove Incompletes while under suspension. See the General Section of this catalog for additional details on University probation and suspension policies

Academic Grievance
Students have the responsibility and right to call to the attention of a professor any course grade believed to be in error. The college grievance procedure must be initiated within 60 days of the posting of the final grade. Academic grievances must follow the procedure described below:

  • The student meets with the professor to attempt to resolve the issue.
  • If meeting with the professor does not resolve the issue, the student must discuss the issue with the department chair of the faculty member who issued the grade. The chair attempts to resolve the issue, but may not unilaterally change the grade.
  • If meeting with the chair does not resolve the issue, the student will forward the appeal to the associate dean for academic affairs of the College of Health Science and Human Service.
  • The college's Petition for Academic Grievance should be used for this purpose. The student must state the reasons for the appeal and the desired outcome. The student must meet with the associate dean to review and discuss the issue. The associate dean will attempt to resolve the issue by meeting with the appropriate faculty member, but may not unilaterally change the grade.
  • If the student wishes to continue the appeal, he/she must forward the appropriate information relative to the issue to the Student Grievance Council. Information on this process may be found in The University of Toledo Student Handbook.

Note:  If the grievance occurs during the fall or summer semester, a grievance petition must be filed with the chair of the Student Grievance Council no later than the last day of classes in the next semester. If the grievance occurs during the spring semester, a grievance petition must be filed with the chair of the Student Grievance Council no later than the last day of classes in the final summer session.

Residence Requirement

Full-time students transferring to the College of Health Science and Human Service must complete at least the final semester and 25 percent of their program of study in residence within the college. Part-time students must complete the last 12 credit hours and 25 percent of the program of study within the college.

Criminal Justice Program

Morris Jenkins, program coordinator

Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice
The bachelor of science (B.S.) degree in criminal justice is designed to prepare students to enter law enforcement, corrections, probation, parole, private security, juvenile justice and related careers. In addition, the B.S. program provides preparation for students who wish to attend graduate school in criminal justice, a related field, or law school.

The undergraduate curriculum consists of a liberal arts core, criminal justice core and electives, general electives, and supporting courses from related disciplines to form an understanding of justice, (e.g. political science, public administration, sociology, history, business and social work). Because good communication and computer skills are important to the criminal justice professional and to students planning to attend graduate or law school, courses in writing, speaking and computer use are part of the curriculum. The faculty are committed not only to teaching about criminal justice systems, but also to challenging students to explore the concept of justice and to develop their own ethical paradigms. Accordingly, course work in ethics is required. Faculty members also emphasize the development of critical thinking, analytical and problem-solving skills in their instruction.

Susan Telljohann, program coordinator
Students who complete the health education major will be eligible for license to teach health education pre K-12. (See the College of Education for B.Ed degree details.)

Health Care Administration

Darryl Lippman, program coordinator

The health care administration program provides students with knowledge and skills to act as health-care administrators in a variety of settings, such as hospitals, long-term care and outpatient facilities, physician offices, and public health agencies. This interdisciplinary program introduces students to managerial concepts and related skills. The health-care core courses enhance students’ knowledge in a variety of related subjects, including current health issues, legislation affecting health care, and management theories and decision making, all of which are important in health care administration.

Students interested in health-care administration have several options to consider, depending on their interests. Students completing the four-year program in health care administration concurrently receive a minor in business.  In addition, a concentration in long-term care administration is also available. A 2 + 2 year program is offered to individuals who hold at least an associate’s degree in a health related field. These students most often have direct health-care work experience, such as nurses and respiratory therapists, who want to further their education and management expertise. Students enrolling in the 2+2 program have two options, namely, either (1) the hybrid program (combination classroom and online course) or (2) the totally online program.

Health Information Administration

Marie Janes, program coordinator
Bachelor of Science in Health Information Administration
The curriculum of the bachelor of science degree in health information administration (HIA) encompasses a broad range of disciplines, including medicine, health, business, informatics and information management. Graduates serve in a variety of health-care managerial and administrative  roles, including planning, organizing, controlling and evaluating health information systems; applying legal principles, policies, regulations and standards and analyzing their impact on risk management; and supervising personnel in various health-care settings. Health information managers are responsible for health records and must assure adequate documentation for accurate classifying and indexing of diagnoses, treatments and procedures for the purpose of planning, and reimbursement. Health information administrators are responsible for planning, engineering, workflow applications, research, reporting and policy administration.
Professional practice experience (PPE) is an integral part of the health administration curriculum,  The PPE is project oriented. Students act as Project Managers, creating a proposal letter and project forms, deliverable(s), presentation, survey, and follow up analysis. Sites and projects vary by location. The program accepts transfer credit that equates to UT courses from most accredited colleges and universities. Courses in HIA are online. Venture Learning provides assistance to students in the HIA program.
Note: The Health Information Administration program has been accredited by The Commission on Accreditation for Health Informatics and Information Management Education (CAHIIM) with the Commission on Accreditation. Graduates of the HIA program at The University of Toledo are eligible to sit for the certification examination. The American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA) grants successful examination candidates recognition as Registered Health Information Administrator (RHIA).

Athletic Training
James Rankin, program coordinator
The bachelor of science in athletic training prepares students for entry-level positions in college/university, high school, sports medicine clinic, professional sports, performing arts, military, and industrial settings. Athletic trainers work under physicians to ensure the health and safety of physically active individuals, they work cooperatively with other allied health personnel and coaches to accomplish this goal. The athletic training education program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education. In Ohio, athletic training is a licensed profession requiring an additional examination to be licensed. Athletic training is a regulated profession in 47 states, and the UT program meets or exceeds the criteria in almost all of those states.
Any student may declare an interest in the athletic training education program and begin the pre-professional component of the program. Students are accepted into the professional component on a space-available basis. At the end of the first year, students must file an application for acceptance into the professional component of the athletic training education program with the program coordinator. The maximum capacity of the entering the second year class is based on instructional capacity, the number of off-campus clinical sites, and the number of clinical opportunities in intercollegiate athletics at UT.  Students  usually begin in the fall semester  and are required to take KINE 1110 Introduction to Athletic Training at that time. Students who begin in the Spring semester must take KINE 1110, Introduction to Athletic Training, along with KINE 1650, KINE 1660, KINE 2510, KINE 2520, and HEAL 1500. Acceptance into the professional program occurs at the beginning of a student’s second year of involvement with the athletic training education program. The Board of Certification (BOC) requires athletic training students to complete their clinical experience during a minimum of two years and a maximum of five years. Consequently, transfer students may not complete the athletic training education program in fewer than four years from the date of the first enrollment in the program.
For more information, see the athletic training education program.

Exercise Science Programs
Barry Scheuermann, program coordinator

The bachelor of science degree in exercise science (B.S.E.S.) is designed for students who want to study the anatomical, physiological, biomechanical and psychological bases of human physical performance. The curriculum has a strong foundation in the natural sciences; students have the opportunity to specialize in one of the following areas: biomechanics, exercise physiology, health promotion and human performance, and pre-physical therapy. Many students use the degree as a steppingstone to graduate education in exercise science, medicine and other allied health fields such as physical therapy and occupational therapy.

Additional information about the bachelor of science in exercise science degree can be found at the department’s Web site at www.utoledo.edu/hshs/kinesiology/undergradprograms.html.

Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science Degree Requirements
Students should follow and complete the degree requirements as displayed in the exercise science (biomechanics, applied and clinical physiology, exercise physiology, health promotion and human performance or pre-physical therapy) program of study charts.
Biomechanics
The B.S.E.S. concentration in biomechanics combines course work, research and clinical experience in the application of principles of physics, engineering and computer science to the study of human physical performance. Students in this concentration use tools such as high-speed video and electromyography to study such topics as the basis of sport injury, the effects of disease on human motion, and techniques for facilitating sport performance. Those who choose this option generally intend to prepare for graduate study in biomechanics or other areas such as podiatry, prosthetics, physical or occupational therapy or medicine.

Health Promotion and Human Performance
Many exercise science students are interested in applying their interest and expertise in human physical performance to the prevention and treatment of disease and disability, the enhancement of health and fitness, and to facilitating sport performance through training and conditioning. The B.S.E.S. concentration in health promotion and human performance is designed for these students. Beyond the required exercise science courses, these students take additional course work that focuses on the use of exercise and exercise testing in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, reduced muscle strength and endurance tolerance. Students in this concentration will focus on the development of exercise programs that are designed to enhance health, general fitness and exercise performance. In addition to a practicum and two internships, many of these students complete one or more of the certification programs offered by organizations such as the American College of Sports Medicine and the National Strength and Conditioning Association. These certifications, in combination with the student’s academic training, provide excellent credentials for employment in fitness/wellness programs, cardiovascular rehabilitation, as well as many commercial fitness facilities.

Exercise Physiology
The B.S.E.S. specialization in exercise physiology is intended to provide students with in-depth study of the physiological bases of human physical performance. In addition to seminars, laboratory research and advanced courses in exercise physiology, students who complete this specialization take additional courses in biology and chemistry. Students taking this concentration work closely with a faculty mentor to design and complete an independent research project of their choosing during their senior year. Upon graduation, those who have chosen this concentration often pursue graduate training in exercise physiology, physical therapy, another allied health field, or medical school. Others wishing to begin a career immediately upon graduation may be employed in fitness and wellness centers or corporate fitness, or they may work as personal trainers.

Pre-Physical Therapy
The pre-physical therapy concentration provides students with the opportunity to complete the B.S.E.S. degree and prepare for admission into a graduate entry-level physical therapy program. The curriculum provides a mix of science and health related courses and clinical experiences that are intended to provide the ideal preparation for admission into the university's doctorate in physical therapy program, as well as meet the admission requirements for similar programs across the country.  Many students who complete the program will apply for admission to the University of Toledo’s Doctorate in Physical Therapy program, which has long been affiliated with this program. All physical therapy programs involve a competitive admission process. Thus, completion of the pre-physical therapy option at UT does not guarantee acceptance to a physical therapy program.

Optional (Self-Designed)
Students who are interested in a degree in exercise science but would like to develop a concentration in a unique area many enroll in the optional program. For instance, a student may plan to enter a professional or graduate degree program in an area with specific undergraduate prerequisites that are not included in any of the departmental concentrations. Another example is a student whose personal interests could best be served by a custom-designed concentration. Any student in the B.S.E.S. program may elect to develop an optional concentration, in lieu of one of the structured concentrations. These optional concentrations are developed around a theme related to exercise science and are designed in collaboration with a departmental faculty adviser. The student must file with the student services office of the College of Health Science and Human Service an optional program plan of study that has been approved by the student’s adviser and the chair of the kinesiology department. Students have used the optional program for admission into graduate programs in fields such as physician assistant, occupational therapy, physical therapy, therapeutic recreation, medicine, medical and health-related sales, public health and many other fields related to health and human physical performance.

Minor in Exercise Science
A minor in exercise science is offered by the department of kinesiology to provide students from other departments across the University with the opportunity to gain experience in this area. The minor requires 22 credits of course work, including required lecture and lab courses in human anatomy, physiology, exercise physiology, and biomechanics, as well as elective courses taken from a variety of areas within exercise science. Students interested in completing the minor in exercise science should contact the department’s academic adviser for additional information.

Respiratory Care Program
Craig Black, program coordinator
Respiratory care is an allied health specialty. Respiratory care practitioners work with physicians in the treatment, management, control, diagnostic evaluation and care of patients with deficiencies and abnormalities associated with the cardiopulmonary system.
Respiratory therapists treat a diverse group of patients ranging from newborn and pediatric patients to adults and the elderly. Disease states or conditions often requiring respiratory care include asthma, emphysema, chronic obstructive lung disease, pneumonia, cystic fibrosis, infant respiratory distress syndrome and conditions brought on by shock, trauma or post-operative surgical complications. Respiratory therapists also are involved in many specialty areas in the hospital, such as newborn labor and delivery, neonatal and pediatric intensive care units, pulmonary function laboratory, sleep laboratory and adult intensive care units. The baccalaureate degree prepares respiratory therapists to deliver respiratory care in the hospital, home and alternate care sites.
The respiratory therapist with an earned baccalaureate is an advanced-level practitioner who is eligible to sit for the national board exam for entry-level certification, to become registered as an advanced practitioner, and to take specialty examinations in perinatal/pediatrics and pulmonary function technology.

Selective Admissions Requirements

Acceptance into the respiratory care program is limited due to the number of students who can be accommodated by the faculty and clinical facilities. Once admitted to the University, students must file a separate application for the respiratory care program with the college selective admissions committee.  Selective admission criteria are listed below.
 Complete the following courses (or their equivalent or higher) with a grade of C or better: ENGL 1110 College Composition I; ENGL 1130 College Composition II; HEAL 1800 Medical Terminology; CHEM 1120 Chemistry for Health Sciences; and KINE 2560 Anatomy & Physiology I, and KINE 2460 Anatomy & Physiology I Lab; and KINE 2570 Anatomy & Physiology II, and KINE 2470 Anatomy & Physiology II Lab, Math 1320 (College Algebra), and KINE 2590 (Microbiology and Infectious Diseases).
 Minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5 (college or higher education).

  • In addition to cumulative GPA, the student's GPA in the courses fulfilling the math and science prerequisite course requirements (MATH 1320, CHEM 1120, KINE 2460, 2470, 2560, 2570, and 2590) will be evaluated.

Department of Military Science and Leadership



Army ROTC (U.S. Army Reserve Officers’ Training Corps)
Jonathan Beasley, Chair
The University of Toledo offers undergraduate and graduate students an opportunity to qualify as commissioned officers in the United States Army, Army Reserves or Army National Guard. As a college elective, the Army Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) program provides preparation for leadership in any profession – military or civilian.
Army ROTC Basic Course
No military obligation is incurred for non-scholarship students participating in or completing the basic course.  The Basic Course is normally completed during the freshman and sophomore years and provides the student with a general knowledge of the military’s role in society and the missions of the Army. Subjects include leadership, land navigation, marksmanship, first aid and other basic military skills. Students enroll in one Military Science and Leadership (MSL) course each semester. It is possible for a sophomore to complete the basic course in one year through prior arrangement with the department.  Successful completion of the basic course is a prerequisite for enrollment in the Army ROTC Advanced Course. Selected sophomores and juniors also can qualify for the Advanced Course by completing ROTC Leader's Training Course in the summer, or through prior military service, either Active, Reserve or National Guard.
Army ROTC Advanced Course
The Advanced Course is the professional phase of the Army ROTC program. The Advanced Course includes subjects in leadership, training, land navigation, management, ethics, military justice and military tactics. During the two years of the Advanced Course, students enroll in one MSL course per semester. They also must complete one course from an academic department other than MSL in each of the following areas: written communication skills, military history and computer literacy. A list of approved courses is available from the Department of Military Science and Leadership. Two scheduled weekend field training exercises are required each year, and all students must meet Army physical fitness standards. All Advanced Course students must attend the five-week Leader Development and Assessment Course (LDAC) at Fort Lewis, Wa. Students normally attend LDAC during the summer between their junior and senior years.
Upon satisfactory completion of the Advanced Course requirements and the awarding of the bachelor’s or graduate degree, the student is eligible for a commission as a Second Lieutenant in the United States Army, Army Reserve or Army National Guard.
Army ROTC Scholarships
The ROTC program offers four-year, three-year and two-year scholarships to qualified students. An Army ROTC scholarship normally covers all required academic fees and charges at The University of Toledo. Four-year and three-year advanced designee (A.D.) winners also receive a room and board incentive from the University.  All scholarship awards include an allowance for textbooks and supplies and a monthly spending allowance for up to 10 months per year during the scholarship period. Additional locally funded scholarships are available for a limited number of Cadets. Students may inquire about Army ROTC scholarships by contacting the Department of Military Science and Leadership.
General Eligibility Requirements
To enroll in the Army ROTC program, the student must:
1.     Be of good moral character.
2.     Be a citizen of the United States. (Non-citizens may enroll by special request at the Basic Course level.)
3.     Be enrolled as a full-time student at The University of Toledo or at a participating partnership university.
4.     Execute an oath of loyalty to the United States.
5.     Not be a conscientious objector.

Additional requirements exist for Advanced Course participation. Contact the Department of Military Science and Leadership for specific information.
Uniforms and Textbooks
Army uniforms, equipment, textbooks and materials necessary for MSL courses are loaned to students or provided at minimal cost.

Special Opportunities
Selected students participating in the Army ROTC program may attend airborne, air assault, mountain warfare, northern warfare, sapper or scuba training.  Selected students can compete for Cultural, Medical and Engineering internships over the summer months.  In addition, selected students are offered the opportunity to participate in Cadet Troop Leadership Training and spend three weeks performing the duties of an Officer at an Army installation. Students in the Advanced Course may elect to serve as officer trainees in local Army National Guard and Army Reserve units, thereby receiving additional training, experience and financial support while attending college.

Credit for Previous Military Training
Students with previous military training may be granted constructive credit as follows:
1.   By transfer. Constructive credit will be granted at the time of entrance to The University of Toledo for corresponding military science courses completed satisfactorily in a senior division ROTC unit in another college or university.
2.   Other training or service. Constructive credit will be granted at the time the student enters the Army ROTC program at The University of Toledo. If for any reason the student does not complete the ROTC program, this credit will be withdrawn.
a.  Service academy education. Students who have satisfactorily completed work at a service academy may receive constructive credit for up to three years of military science. The department will make a credit determination at the time that the student enrolls.
b. Active service or active duty for training (ADT) in the U.S. Army, U.S. Army Reserve, Army National Guard, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps or Coast Guard. The Professor of Military Science may grant constructive credit for up to two years of the Basic Course.
c. Junior ROTC or military school training. Students who have had Junior ROTC or military school training should contact the professor of military science for credit determinations. Maximum allowable constructive credit will be the two-year basic course.
d. Successful completion of ROTC Leaders Training Course provides credit for the on-campus Basic Course. Students may qualify for the leaders training course if they have two or more years of study remaining at either the undergraduate or graduate level and if they meet the other eligibility requirements. The Leader's Training Course is conducted at Fort Knox, Kentucky.
Minor in Military Science
Students seeking a minor in military science must successfully complete 25 hours of military science courses, with a minimum GPA of 2.0. Requirements in certain majors and curricula will require ROTC students to take more than the minimum number of hours required for graduation. When finalizing their program, students should consult an academic adviser within the department of their declared major.
Following are the requirements for the minor in military science:
1.   Six credit hours at the Basic Course level;
2.   18 credit hours at the Advanced Course level;
3.   One credit hour in a MSL elective at the 3000 level or higher, and
4.   Minimum GPA of 2.0 in MSL classes.
