Seretean Wellness Center - Oklahoma State University

50 hours of Facilities Management credits must be accumulated within a two year time period. Basic Administrators Course-I (6 hrs), Basic Administrators Course II (6 hrs), and approved M.A.T. (15 hrs) are required for certification and the remaining 23 hours can be in any of the elective courses offered.

Cost of classes will be $20.00 per credit hour. You must be registered for a class 24-hrs in advance. Due to limited class sizes, anyone who does not register for a class is subject to a $50.00 late fee and class non-availability. Class registrations will not be guaranteed until full payment is received. In order to qualify for the early bird discount, payment (check, cash, purchase order or credit card) must be received at the Seretean Wellness Center seven calendar days prior to the class. OSU reserves the right to cancel classes that do not have sufficient enrollment by the early bird deadline. Any fees collected for a class cancelled by OSU will be held for credit towards another class.

If notified in advance of a cancellation, any course already paid for will be held on a credit basis and can be exchanged for another class (within a 1 year period). All refunds of money on account must be requested in writing and will be subject to a $20.00 processing fee. Once a class is over and there has been no notification of cancellation, any money paid will be forfeited.

Seretean Wellness Center will provide renewal training for Department of Mental Health contract holders at no charge. One Administrator for each home is eligible and he/she must meet all eligibility criteria set forth in this document and he/she is subject to all class policies, procedures, and restrictions outlined herein.

Students shall attend every hour for which they receive training. Accurate records of attendance will be kept for classes. Students must sign the attendance roster, indicating they attended the class. If more than 30 minutes is missed for any one class, you will not be allowed to attend the class and your money will be forfeited.

Students who receive credit from East Central University's Continuing Education Course on Facility Management or University of Central Oklahoma at the Downtown College Consortium's Residential Care Facilities Program may transfer that credit to the program up to the maximum hours allowable. A $20.00 processing fee per transfer will be charged to students wishing to transfer their credit from ECU or UCO-DCC. Students may also transfer their M.A.T. from an Oklahoma Vo-Tech school for a $20.00 processing fee. Proper verification is required for all transfers.

Students can receive Competency Based Equivalency (C.B.E.) hours for any education, certifications, professional licenses or training that is equivalent to Residential Care or Assisted Living. Each application will be reviewed by the curriculum committee and will be considered on an individual basis. All C.B.E. hours must be submitted on the official C.B.E. application form with a $20.00 processing fee. A maximum of 6 hours can be given for an initial certificate and 3 hours maximum for a renewal certificate.
