Reporting units

Here are some of the units that report to the Office of the Provost.

Admissions

The Office of Admission counsels prospective students about NEOMED educational programs, admission requirements, tuition, fees, and the cost of attendance.

Faculty Affairs and Faculty Relations

The Office of Faculty Affairs and Faculty Relations supports faculty through communication, programs that enrich faculty life, clinical partnerships, continuing professional development and educational research focused on learning sciences and knowledge systems.

Financial Aid

Through its administration of federal, state, and institutional student aid programs, the Office of Financial Aid at NEOMED is committed to supporting NEOMED’s goals of enrolling and graduating highly talented graduate, medical, and pharmacy students.

Institute for Teaching Excellence

The Institute for Teaching Excellence collaborates with faculty and provide support for evidence-based and innovative teaching, learning and instructional best practices that are learner-centered and foster an exceptional student experience.

Institutional Research

The Office of Institutional Research (IR) provides data and analysis to support the University’s decision-making, strategic planning, mandated reporting and program review. IR collects, analyzes, and reports data on a variety of topics, including student enrollment, faculty and staff demographics, financial performance, and academic outcomes.

Learning Center

As a professional student, you are joining an elite population of learners. You have the opportunity to create and direct your own learning environment. Some students believe that they will be able to keep the same strategies that were used in undergraduate study and simply work harder. A more successful academic strategy is to adjust your approach based on the tremendous volume of material, limited time, the essential components of learning and your personal learning styles and strengths. Our Learning Center can help.

Library

The on-campus Library is an active partner in the educational and research activities of the university. Through its spaces within the Aneal Mohan Kohli Academic and Information Technology Center (Kohli Center), its digital and print collections, and its services, the Library reaches nearly all faculty, staff and students. The library has seven affiliate hospitals throughout Northeast Ohio that it supports in the areas of print circulation and access to e-resources.

Office of the Registrar

The Office of the Registrar is responsible for maintaining and archiving student records, the student registration process, enrollment reporting for the institution to state and federal agencies and degree audit and conferrals. Current students and alumni can contact the Office of the Registrar to request official transcripts, enrollment verifications and degree verifications. Student registration questions and inquiries to view a student’s record should be directed to the Office of the Registrar.

Student Accessibility Services

Students are encouraged to disclose known disabilities and request reasonable accommodations as early as possible. Delaying disclosure until academic difficulty arises may jeopardize program completion. For more information, visit the Accessibility Services website.

Student Services

The Office of Student Services supports the academic and personal success of students at NEOMED through learning support and advising, student organizations, leadership and service, credentialing, campus event, orientation, student advocacy and student involvement.

Testing Services

Testing Services coordinates all aspects of students testing including administration, logistics and support to all students, staff and faculty. Examinations may include, but are not limited to, written, oral, practical or laboratory evaluations, quizzes, and medical students’ NBME subject examinations. Visit Testing Services at NEOMED.
