FORMER STUDENT CAMPUSWEB

 

Students who graduate or withdraw from the College have access to their student record through Campusweb. However, access reverts back to the student's initial Campusweb password issued by the College at the time of application. This conversion happens in July for graduates and within a few days after the withdrawal is processed for students leaving the College. Note: Only students who attended in 2005 or after have access to Campusweb.

If a student does not remember his or her original password they may:

  • Complete the Former Student Campusweb Password Reset request. After submission, a password reset link will be sent to the former student's email address on file with the Registrar's Office. Please, allow one business day for the request to be processed and the link to arrive.  
  • Students who no longer have access to the email address on file with the Registrar's Office may complete the form, write their current email address on the form, sign and date the form, and email it to registrar@cofo.edu. We need the students signature to be able to update the email address on file at the Registrar's Office. 

PROFICIENCY TESTS

 

The College offers a variety of proficiency test options.

  • Composition Proficiency Test
  • Computer Information Science Proficiency Test
  • Swimming Proficiency Test
  • Proficiency Examination - Any department, upon application by the student, may consider the awarding of credit by means of proficiency examination in any course listed in the catalog in which the student is not enrolled, provided he or she has not completed a more advanced course in that field at the College. Credits awarded through proficiency examination are limited to Pass/Fail grades. Departments wishing to award credit use the Proficiency Exam Credit form located in Campusweb on the Resources tab. 

ENGLISH AND MATHEMATICS PLACEMENT

 

All students at C of O must satisfy the General Education (GE) requirements in English and mathematics. Additionally, some majors require higher level mathematics courses. The College uses ACT, SAT, or pre-requisite coursework to place students into the appropriate level of English and mathematics courses.

LIVING AND LEARNING INTERNATIONAL STUDY ABROAD

 

College of the Ozarks serves a School of Record for Living and Learning International. This relationship affords Living and Learning International the academic oversight necessary for its initiatives, while enjoying ongoing involvement, assessment, evaluation, and accountability by College of the Ozarks.

Living and Learning International students who choose to request college credit will have appropriate credits transcribed to an official College of the Ozarks transcript. College of the Ozarks is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission and credit is widely accepted by other institutions. Additionally, students may choose to have College of the Ozarks report them as full-time, non-degree seeking students in order to show continuous college enrollment for student loan deferment, insurance, and enrollment verification purposes. This is useful if the student does not have a home institution in the United States reporting them as enrolled during their semester studying with Living and Learning International. Non-degree seeking Living and Learning International students are not eligible for financial aid through College of the Ozarks and do not pay tuition or fees to College of the Ozarks for this service.    

Before or Early in the Semester

  • Student: Submits the College of the Ozarks Credit Request form
  • Living and Learning: Sends student information electronically to the C of O Registrar's Office at lmattheis@cofo.edu
    • List of courses including course number, course title, and credit hours
    • Beginning and end dates of the semester
  • C of O: Begins the transcription process nd reports the students as attending (if necessary)

End of the Semester

  • Living and Learning: Sends final grades to the C of O Registrar's Office at lmattheis@cofo.edu along with the Free Transcript Request completed by the student
  • C of O: Transcripts final grades, sends free transcript, and notifies the student when the process is complete
  • Student: May request additional official transcripts by mail or electronically through the C of O Transcript Request

NEW STUDENT SCHEDULING

 

New students complete the New Student Scheduling Survey online through the Accepted tab on CampusWeb. The Office of the Registrar staff uses this information to assign each student a class schedule for the first semester. Students are placed in appropriate entry-level courses based on their chosen major along with general education courses required for all students. During the survey students also indicate if they wish to participate in vocal or instrumental performance groups.

Placement in English Composition and Mathematics is based on ACT subscores. Students need a minimum ACT English score of 23 to place into college-level English Composition. Students scoring below the minimum will begin in Composition Skills. Students need a minimum ACT Mathematics score of 22 to place into college-level mathematics (College Algebra or major specific equivalent). Students scoring below a 22 will begin in Intermediate Algebra.

It is very important for students to submit official transcripts from all colleges previously attended, making sure to include colleges attended through high school dual credit. It is especially necessary for students starting classes in the spring to send a transcript showing in-progress classes during the fall semester and then send a second official copy once final grades have been received. The Office of the Registrar Office staff will look at completed credits as well as in-progress credits when building class schedules. Visit Transferring Credits for more information.

Transfer students who have earned 30 hours or more may be asked to speak with a representative from their chosen major prior to registration for their first semester at C of O. This meeting helps to ensure proper placement in classes and provides an opportunity to discuss a timeline for graduation.

New student class schedules are typically available:

  • Fall Semester Start - by the end of July
  • Spring Semester Start - by the end of December

Once the Office of the Registrar has built a class schedule for the student, it will be visible in the Student tab of Campusweb. Students should review their schedules to ensure:

  • They are not repeating classes they have taken or are taking at another college
  • The classes reflect their chosen major

Remember class schedules can change. It is a good idea for students to check their schedule a second time just prior to the start of classes to look for class changes including time and room adjustments.

New students may request schedule changes through the Office of the Registrar by sending an email from their C of O email address to registrar@cofo.edu or by stopping by the Office of the Registrar located in the McDonald Administration Building. All students may request to add and drop classes through Friday of the first week of classes at 5:00 p.m.

ENROLLMENT VERIFICATION

 

An Enrollment Verification provides documentation of enrollment at College of the Ozarks. The most common requests are for scholarships and insurance companies.

During the Semester: On the first day of class College of the Ozarks enrollment is submitted to the National Student Clearinghouse. Shortly after, students may print enrollment verification documentation through Campusweb on the Student tab by using the Enrollment/Good Student Certificate link.

Prior to the First Day of Class or for Non-Directory Information: Some special circumstances require enrollment verification prior to the start of classes or non-directory information (anticipated graduation date, academic status, class schedule) is required as part of the enrollment verification. In these situations, students may use the Enrollment Verification form in Campus Portal. 

OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPT REQUEST


How to Order an Official Transcript

Transcripts may be ordered in the following ways:

  1. ONLINE at the National Student Clearinghouse using a credit card. Base cost is $5.10 per transcript with a $2.90 surcharge per recipient address (not per transcript). Current students and alumni with Campusweb access may request transcripts through the National Student Clearinghouse from the Student section of Campusweb
  2. IN PERSON at the Office of the Registrar. Transcripts printed on demand via in-person requests are $15 each.  Please, pay at the Cashier’s office then bring the receipt of payment to the Registrar’s office.

Questions regarding transcripts should be directed to registrar@cofo.edu or call 417-690-3223.

NOTE: If any College of the Ozarks department or facility (e.g., the Library, Business Office, etc.) has placed a hold on your student record, you must resolve that hold before a transcript will be released.

NOTE: If your legal name has changed and you would like it to appear on your transcript, please submit a name change form with documentation prior to submission of your transcript order.
