Dublin Student Resource Manual
Welcome to the Heritage College
Welcome to the Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine Student Resource Manual! This great resource will provide information on everything from where to park your bicycle to academic policies. It is an invaluable reference for the wide variety of services and opportunities available, whatever your needs or ambitions.
The Student Resource Manual is required reading. It contains important college and campus policies — rules for student conduct. It is each student’s responsibility to be familiar with the contents of the Student Resource Manual. Those new to Heritage College should read it with care. Returning students should also study this handbook, both to review its contents and also to discover what is new. We hope these pages will not only inform but also encourage and inspire readers to explore college policies fully and recognize and celebrate the privileges and responsibilities that we all share as members of this learning community.
Finally, it is important to note that Heritage College students also are subject to Ohio University policies. University policies affecting students are summarized in the OHIO Student Code of Conduct.
