Cindy Shelly is the Fiscal Associate within the Business Office at Ohio State ATI. The Business Office processes student’s tuition payments and are always available to help students with their Statement of Accounts. A Statement of Account shows what fees a student would owe for the upcoming semester. Cindy has been here for 11 years.
The faculty and staff at Ohio State ATI are very approachable, and that is Cindy’s favorite aspect of Ohio State ATI. Cindy, too, is very approachable and very willing to help. In the past, she has received the College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Science Staff Advisory Council “Above and Beyond Reward.”
When asked what the value of coming to college and Ohio State ATI in particular, Cindy stated “College can help students plan their future goals. ATI offers two-year degrees, which help a student figure out if they want to enter into the workforce with an Associate’s or they have the option of continuing to pursue their Bachelor’s.”
Ohio State ATI students choose from two different types of associate degrees. The Associate of Science degree is built to transition on to a bachelor’s degree at the Columbus campus. The Associate of Applied Science program is meant to be a terminal degree, for students interested in starting their career right away.
The biggest piece of advice that Cindy would give to a prospective student is, “Look for scholarships, no matter how small every little bit helps.” Scholarships and financial aid can significantly reduce the cost of coming to college. Nonetheless, if you do have questions about your Statement of Account, do not be afraid to ask the Business Office.
