Testing In order to take all of the following tests, you must have a photo ID (driver's license or student ID). Placement Test Online Testing / Distance Learning Tests/MAT/CLEP Make-up Tests Writing Guide Writing is a fundamental part of a university education. Faculty will expect students to write clearly and concisely in an academic manner. In addition, employers often name written communication skills as vitally important to an employee’s success. This paper outlines the writing process and connects to exercises that lead you through writing a paper. This document is written in an informal voice that addresses the reader directly. This is not typical of academic writing. For more resources about writing papers, please visit the library for the APA Style Guide. Also, browse through the following web sites: A Guide for Writing Research Papers Based on MLA Documentation: Useful and thorough resource for writing MLA-style papers. APA Web Site: Official web site of the APA style. APA Research Style Crib Sheet: Summary of rules for writing papers in APA. APA Guide: A quick and easy guide to follow APA style guide. Psychology with Style: A Hypertext Writing Guide: Very thorough article about writing and improving your papers. Contains examples. Probation Information Ohio University requires that students maintain an accumulative grade point average of 2.0 as a minimum standard of academic performance. If a student drops below this minimum standard then they will be placed on academic probation. University regulations allow students a maximum of four quarters to remove themselves from academic probation, provided that they make satisfactory progress each quarter. Satisfactory progress means that a student should raise their accumulative grade point average each quarter until it reaches a 2.0 level. If at the end of the fourth quarter a student is still on probation, if their accumulative grade point average falls significantly, or their deficiency points increase significantly in any quarter while on probation, then they will be dismissed from Ohio University. Being placed on probation tells a student that they must immediately improve their academic performance. Fortunately there are many people willing to assist in developing appropriate strategies. If you are placed on probation and searching for help, please contact a member of the OU-Zanesville student services staff.
