Holiday Edition
Holiday Closure
Have you heard? All Hocking College campuses - Nelsonville, Logan and Perry - will be closed for winter break Monday, December 22, 2014 through Friday, January 2, 2015. All campuses will officially reopen Monday, January 5, 2015.

During this time all college buildings and offices will be closed. There will be no on-campus, in-person or telephone student services available. You'll still be able to register and make payments online through WebAdvisor but register before leaving campus at the end of the semester if you can.

Residence halls will be closing on Saturday, December 13 at noon. Housing will not be available over break. Move in for spring semester will be Sunday, January 11, 2015 between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. for both new and returning students.

Spring term begins Monday, January 12, 2015. If you have any questions about the closures, check out hocking.edu/holidaybreak.
Reminder: Register Before Winter Break!

Don't delay! Take the next step in pursuing your passion and register for spring semester classes before you leave for winter break.
  • Get your first choice class time/schedule for classes that fill quickly.
  • Skip the line - avoid the start of the semester lines.

Remember, starting with registration for spring semester 2015, you are required to make payment arrangements at the time of registration. You can still register either within your department, with your faculty advisor or on WebAdvisor.

However, within three business days of registering, you must visit the Cashier's Office in the Student Services Concourse in Light Hall or at the Logan or Perry Campus to sign the Registration Terms & Conditions/Student Financial Responsibility Agreement and review your financial arrangements. If you do not do this within three business days, your schedule will be dropped, and you will need to begin the registration process again.

 

Questions about registration? Talk to your faculty advisor or your department. We look forward to welcoming you back for spring semester!
Holidays Around the World
















There was a big turnout for Holidays Around the World last Thursday in the Light Dining Hall.

Last Chance: Nelsonville PD Ending Weapons Storage

Hocking College has been notified by the Nelsonville Police Department that due to liability issues, they will no longer store weapons for Hocking College students.

 

If you current have a weapon in storage at the NPD, you must pick up your weapon by Friday, December 12, 2014. Contact the Nelsonville Police Department at 740.753.1736 to arrange to pick up your weapons by the December 12 deadline.

Get Your 1098-T and W-2 Forms Electronically 
Form 1098-T, an IRS form entitled "Tuition Statement" is provided annually to qualifying students. This form provides the documentation necessary for students or parents to claim an education tax credit, depending on the taxpayer's own tax situation.
 
Hocking College is encouraging all students to register to receive their Form 1098-T electronically through their WebAdvisor account. Click on "1098 Electronic Consent" under "Financial Information" on the student site of WebAdvisor and select the first option which is the electronic consent. If no electronic consent is given, a printed form will be mailed to your home address on file.
 
For students who are also student employees, you may opt to receive your Form W-2 electronically. For that you would go to the employee site of WebAdvisor and click on "W-2 Electronic Consent" under "Employee Profile" and select the first option which is the electronic consent.  You'll get your W-2 a few days earlier this way. If no electronic consent is given, a printed form will be mailed to your home address on file.
 
Electing an electronic form of delivery for the Form 1098-T and Form W-2 will assist in our efforts to reduce waste, protect our environment and preserve our natural resources.
