Owens Community College students with aspirations of pursuing a bachelor’s degree from Tiffin University will be able to continue their academic pursuits while attending both institutions, thanks to a new Dual Enrollment Partnership.

As a result of the new collaboration, Owens students will be able to complete academic coursework while simultaneously enrolled at the two schools, effective with the upcoming fall semester.

The program enables Owens students to enroll in a maximum of three credit hours of coursework (four credit hours if a laboratory course) at Tiffin during the fall and spring semesters for a maximum of four semesters. Dual Enrollment Program students can enroll in an array of courses at TU, including general education and major-specific courses required at both academic institutions. Coursework that is successfully completed will transfer and be applied toward fulfilling degree requirements at both academic institutions.

In addition, the dual admission option provides Owens students with access to academic advising at Tiffin. Individuals will also be issued a Tiffin student ID, which will provide access to an array of academic resources, including library privileges as well as campus events and activities.

Additionally, upon transferring to Tiffin, Owens students within the Dual Enrollment Program are eligible for a $2,500 per semester scholarship to use in their final semesters at Tiffin University.

Students enrolled in Tiffin classes as part of the Dual Enrollment Program will pay Owens’ tuition costs. Dual Enrollment classes will occur at Tiffin University in Tiffin and the academic institution’s campus location in Northwood.

The partnership builds upon a longstanding articulation agreement between the respective institutions that enables Owens students to seamlessly transfer to Tiffin and pursue a bachelor’s degree with junior standing after completing an associate’s degree.
