College Catalog/Student Handbook

The Student Handbook/College Catalog is designed to provide information and familiarize students with the following:

• Our history and the CCMS advantage
• admissions process
• tuition and financial aid
• degree programs
• CCMS standards of conduct
• academic requirements
• practices, policies, and procedures

Students are expected to adhere to the standards set forth in the Handbook. Failure to adhere to  standards may result in disciplinary action up to suspension.

The content of the Student Handbook/College Catalog is subject to continuous review by CCMS, its authorized agents, and the Cincinnati Foundation for Mortuary Education. These policies and regulations may be changed without notice. Comments may be directed to the President & CEO, Dean, or Office of Institutional Effectiveness.

This Handbook became effective in June 1982 and has undergone regular revision. The handbook does not constitute a contract between CCMS and the student, but rather, a guideline.
