Ohio Student Disclosure Course

A guide to implementation in your school


 

Pursuant to Ohio Administrative Code Section 3332-1-09, effective January 1, 2017, all Ohio students enrolling in a registered Ohio career college or school will be required to complete the online Ohio Student Disclosure Course. See here for full text of the code.

 

Where will school purchases buy invitation codes and manage the course?

Administrators and school representatives managing the Ohio student disclosure information course will need to have an account in https://oh.edvera.com. School directors or staff with the appropriate account in Edvera should have access on their EDvera dashboard. If you do not have access, and need it please message support with your name, email address, and school and an account will be created for you. Please note – those with strictly the “Student Disclosure” access will not be able to access any documents or sensitive information in EDvera. 

 

*If your school still has vouchers that were purchased in the old site please use all of these vouchers prior to starting in the new system. No refunds will be issued for unused vouchers in the old site. 

 

Will students still complete the student disclosure form?

No. The online Student Disclosure Course is replacing the paper student disclosure form which will no longer be required after January 1, 2017. By taking this 5 minute course, students will be informed of all state required disclosures and information. They’ll attest to understanding the material electronically, and won’t have to sign a paper form.

 

How will students take the course?

Schools can purchase invitation codes to distribute to students via email, in person, or in an orientation settling. Note, students should not be paying for this course.

 

Do I need to print the Verification Page/Certificate for Student files?

As this is an online course and the state has access to these records, schools do not need to print this information. If you choose to have this information however, the students “Verification Page” can be printed.

 

Is there a cost for the course?

Yes. In accordance with OAC 3332-1-22.1, the cost assessed for the online student disclosure course will be $25.
