by other states or schools. (4) The school must
determine if prospective students have the skills and comprehension to succeed
in a distance learning environment and the school must maintain in each
student's record, documentation of the method used to determine the
student's skill and comprehension. (5) The school must
provide students with textbooks, supplementary instructional materials, and any
additional equipment necessary to fulfill the program and course
requirements. (6) Students and
instructors must have access to technical support for the educational course(s)
or program(s) during the designated educational time frame established by the
school to complete the assigned distance learning materials. (7) Observable,
measurable, and achievable student performance outcomes shall be identified so
that courses and programs offered through distance learning can be compared to
courses and programs with similar subject matter and objectives offered through
traditional means. Schools must track and record student performance outcomes
in such a manner as to allow an agent of the board to review the record for
progress of any student engaged in distance learning. (8) The school shall be
responsible for the quality of the courses of study and programs offered
through distance learning methods and the achievement of student performance
outcomes, irrespective of any contractual arrangements, partnerships, or
consortia entered into with third parties for the provision of components of a
distance learning program or course of study. All distance learning content

Effective:
January 2, 2025
(A) A student, currently or previously

licensed school shall complete a transfer request form. The student shall
notify the school in which the student is enrolled according to the
school's procedure as found in the handbook or catalogue. (B) The school shall file a certified
training record or board approved "discontinuance form" with the
board within fourteen days of receiving the student's notice of
transfer. (C) Upon receipt of the certified

establish the hours earned for the student. If the board requests the record,
the school shall promptly provide the student's complete training record

school that seek to transfer to another career technical school in this
state. (G) An exception to this rule will be
made if two schools are owned by the same person. When a student transfers
schools and the schools share ownership, a school shall not be required to file
a discontinuance form, but shall submit an electronic form as specified by the
board. If the student does not immediately transfer, but instead waits six
months or more, the school shall use the discontinuance form and shall file
that form with the board. (H) A student who desires to transfer to another school shall
only receive those clock or credit hours from the current program of study that
directly apply to the new program of study. (1) Not all hours within
a designated program of study shall be transferable to another program of
study. (2) Of the clock hours that the board
finds may transfer to the new school, the new school shall determine the number
of clock hours it is willing to accept. The school shall notify the student
prior to the student signing the contract with the new school. (I) Any student attending a school licensed in another state or
territory of the United States or the District of Columbia may transfer to an
Ohio licensed school and be given credit not to exceed one hour for one hour
basis. To be eligible to receive the clock hours, the student shall meet the
requirements for license eligibility set forth in section 4713.28 of the
Revised Code and in rules 4713-5-09 and 4713-5-24 of the Administrative Code.
Career technical schools shall give a performance examination to determine the
number of clock hours the school is willing to accept.

(A) During all school hours, a school
shall have a licensed instructor on duty to teach courses on the theory and
practical application of all programs. There shall be a minimum of one

hours under the direct supervision of the licensed instructor. Any time clinic
