 Hocking College Student Lives the "Little Mermaid" DreamGrowing up, many girls watched "The Little Mermaid" and wondered what it would be like to have a tail and swim around just like Ariel. Hocking College now has their very own mermaid and her name is April Street. April is from Canton, Ohio and is in her second year studying art and Baking. According to April, she was interested in mermaids when she was young but had not thought about them in recent years. She became interested in them again after seeing a mermaid tail online. She bought her mermaid tail at finfunmermaid.com using money she got for Christmas. It is made from swimsuit material. She is the first person from her family or friends to try a mermaid tail, April said, but her sister seems to be interested in them, too.  After graduation, April said she would like to have her first full-time job working in a movie theater. Long-term she wants to own a banquet hall with her family. Her sister would cook and April would make the sweets; cakes and cupcakes are her specialty. April said if an opportunity to work as a professional mermaid would present itself she would take it, although professional mermaid tails are more expensive. April brings her swimsuit and mermaid tail to the Student Center and swims laps when she has time. She said the mermaid tail is a good work out but takes a little practice to get used to. The other swimmers are taking well to the new visitor and enjoy watching her swim around. April is an inspiration, encouraging others to following their dreams and be true to who they are.  | | Hocking College Mermaid |

1098-T and W-2 Forms
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.
Students who are also student employees will receive a Form W-2. The Form W-2 reports an employee's annual wages and the amount of taxes withheld from his or her paycheck.
Both of these forms will be available by January 31. Students can register to receive either or both forms electronically through their WebAdvisor account. Register to receive the forms electronically means you will have access to them a few days earlier. If no electronic consent is given, a printed form will be mailed to your home address on file.
