STUDENT VACCINE SIGN-UPS BEGIN |
Capital has received its allotment of the one-dose Johnson & Johnson COVID vaccine. The vaccines are free and available to all students – undergraduate, adult, graduate, seminary, and law – 18 years of age and older.
We strongly encourage every student to use this opportunity to be vaccinated, as vaccination is necessary for the University to return to normal operations as expected for fall semester. The single-dose vaccine provides a simple, one-time administration with no follow-up doses needed, and has been found highly effective in preventing COVID-19 infection and illness.
We anticipate having enough doses for all students and will provide approximately 300 vaccinations each day. You must have an appointment to be vaccinated, and we ask that you bring your Capital ID to the clinic.

Make the most of your summer with many of our course offerings delivered remotely. Most of our summer 2021 undergraduate classes are delivered through remote learning. Also, many or our summer graduate courses in Business, Education, Law, Music, Nursing and Theology can be completed remotely.
Summer sessions offer opportunities to fit some additional courses into your year – whether you are trying to graduate ahead of schedule, catch-up to an existing plan, or make room in your schedule for additional courses. Summer courses count toward your GPA, so this is also a great opportunity to retake a course if you would like to improve your GPA.
Undergraduate students can complete a semester course in just seven weeks and take advantage of lower tuition. Summer undergraduate tuition is reduced to $514 per credit hour – a savings of $784 per credit hour.

STUDENT DOCUMENTARY CHRONICLES 2020 |
“In the year 2020, a global pandemic unmasked the disease of institutional racism. As Capital university students navigate through these troubling times, they realize that they have to do better.”
During the fall 2020 and spring 2021 semesters, Capital’s Film & History Immersion students researched current topics, explored relevant themes, and interviewed more than 70 members of our CapFam focusing on the year of 2020. The resulting documentary, “Spaces Between Us: A University (Un)Masked,” is in final production, but they invite you to watch the trailer at www.spaces-between-us.com.

A VIRTUAL WALK FOR SUICIDE PREVENTION |
The Counselor Education Program at Capital is participating in its first spring “Out of the Darkness Campus Walk for Suicide Prevention” and they'd like you to join them.
This event, a partnership between The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention Ohio Chapter and The Ohio State University Suicide Prevention Program, is a journey of remembrance, hope, healing, and support, and an opportunity to unite as a campus and community. It is a time to acknowledge the ways in which suicide and mental illness have affected our lives and our loved ones.
Virtual Walk
April 9-11
Any Capital University alumni, staff and faculty member, or student, as well as their friends and family members (even pets), can join our team! Together we can change the conversation about mental health, save lives, and bring hope to those affected by suicide.
Thank you in advance for your support! Capital's Counselor Education Program had planned to host its own inaugural Campus Walk this spring; however, given the circumstances of the past year, it decided to team up with Ohio State's Campus Walk with the intention of hosting its own in spring 2022.

STUDENTS AND FOOD ASSISTANCE |
A federal COVID-19 relief act that temporarily expands access to food assistance has been extended to help address food insecurity caused by the pandemic.
Expanded access to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) means that many college students who previously would not qualify are now eligible for these benefits (food items only). These changes have been extended into April.
To qualify, you must be enrolled at least half-time (6 credits for undergraduate and adult; 3 credits for graduate and law) and:
- Be eligible to participate in federal work study; or
- Have an expected family contribution (EFC) of $0. If you currently receive the maximum Pell Grant amount of $3,173 per semester, you have an EFC of $0.
To check your eligibility, login to myCap to view your financial aid award. Check for “federal work study” to be listed and what amount you receive in Pell Grant. If you have questions about your financial aid award, contact the Office of Financial Aid at 236-6511 or finaid@capital.edu.
- Submit a “Request for cash, food, and medical assistance” form to your county’s Department of Job and Family Services; or
- Call 1-844-640-6446, 8 a.m. to 12 p.m., Monday through Friday.
Have copies of your financial aid award or FAFSA documents ready to verify eligibility.
The Cap Cupboard, Capital University’s food resource center, provides free and accessible food and hygiene items, and is available to all Capital students with need. Located in the lower level of the Student Union, Cap Cupboard is open Monday through Friday, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 4 to 6 p.m. Individual appointments and appointments outside these hours can be made by emailing capcupboard@capital.edu.
