OSU OFFICE OF STUDENT FINANCIAL AID NEW SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS POLICY, SUMMER 2008
The Office of Student Financial Aid will begin monitoring students under its new Satisfactory Academic Progress policy effective summer quarter, 2008.

Ohio State is required by federal regulations to ensure that federal financial aid funds are going to students who are making progress toward their degrees.  At the end of spring quarter, 2008, undergraduates' progress toward their degrees will be evaluated according to the following standards:

1.      Minimum cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.0 as of the quarter they have 90 earned credit hours and every quarter thereafter.
2.      Successful completion of 70% of their total cumulative hours attempted,
3.      Successful completion of their academic degree/program within a specified maximum time frame expressed as hours attempted, not to exceed 150% of the average program length for their first undergraduate degree or 113% of the required program hours in their second undergraduate degree program (if applicable)

Graduate students will have their progress evaluated according to these standards:
1.      Minimum cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 at the end of each term of enrollment in a graduate program.
2.      Successful completion of at least 70% of their total hours attempted.
3.      Successful completion of an academic program within a reasonable maximum time frame, not to exceed 135 credit hours for a master's degree, and 260 credit hours for a doctoral degree.

Failure to meet these standards will result in one term of conditional status, during which the students will receive any aid awarded, and the cancellation of students' eligibility for all types of financial aid effective the next term of enrollment and every term thereafter.

Please see our website at http://sfa.osu.edu/howtokeepit/index.asp?tab=f for full information on our SAP policy.

INTERNSHIPS

OLD OAK FARM INTERNSHIPS SUMMER 2008 - MARYSVILLE, OH
  1. GREEN HORSE TRAINING INTERNSHIP
  2. EQUINE MANAGEMENT AND MARKETING INTERNSHIP

Old Oak Farm is sport horse breeding and training facility located in Marysville, OH. The farm is home to 15-18 horses of  varying ages and training in various English disciplines (combined training, hunters, jumpers and dressage). Both positions will require a lot of hands on  work with the animals. The training internship will emphasize more riding  and training of young horses so the successful applicant will need to possess good riding skills and a desire to work patiently and consistently with green  horses. The management internship will emphasize more farm management and  sale horse marketing. This applicant should have good organizational skills  and be people oriented. The "training" intern will work closely with the  "management" intern to develop an individualized training and marketing program for each of the sales horses. An interest in equine photography would  be an added bonus as each sale horse needs updated photos and video which will  be published on the web site. The overall business model of the farm will be studied and revised to be more efficient in our current economy.

Duties for both positions will require some of the day to day care of the horses  including feeding, turn out, stall cleaning, tack cleaning, grooming, lunging, arena prep, and course building. Other farm maintenance activities may include  light construction and repair, power washing, painting, and general  landscaping. Most importantly, there will be lots of supervised ground work  and under saddle work with the horses.

Interns will also be able  to observe and assist with some of the riding instruction if interested. Some  travel to shows may be a possibility, but is not required. There will also be opportunities to audit and perhaps participate in riding clinics with renowned  trainers.

These are non paid internships but compensatory benefits include personalized riding instruction and training and a possibility to compete on quality horses depending on riding ability. Housing, some meals, the lease of an Old Oak Farm horse, or board for your own horse may also be a possibility. These are negotiable benefits and based upon the interns experience, and personal goals. Hours are flexible. These positions will be customized for  each of the chosen interns so they can maximize their time and experiences at Old Oak Farm. We foster a cooperative and enjoyable environment where you can expect to work hard and LOVE every minute of it.

Please visit  http://www.oldoakfarm.net/ to learn more about the farm and some of our horses. You can also read  some reviews from the experiences of previous working students. We are looking  forward to a great Summer in 2008!
