from the Director...
Dear Student,
Welcome to the Northeast Ohio Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing!
The NEOMFA is a creative writing program unlike any other in the country, combining the faculty and resources of four
universities into a single program. This handbook will help you navigate the program’s policies and procedures so you can
focus on writing, learning, and transitioning to a rich and productive professional life. If you can’t find what you’re looking
for here, you should always feel free to contact your Campus Coordinator, the NEOMFA office, or any of the faculty or staff
at your gateway institution. It’s our work to ensure that you get the most out of your time with us.
Some suggestions for a successful experience:
• Meet and talk with your campus coordinator early in your program and establish a good working relationship. S/he will
be your official academic advisor and guide you through the entire program.
• Take courses on all four campuses. By doing so you increase your exposure to a varying critical standard and aesthetic.
Our large and diverse faculty is one of the greatest assets of the program and will challenge you in different ways. Keep in
mind that it’s important to meet faculty in order to assemble a thesis committee as you near completion of your degree.
Also, know that our students make very good use of carpooling—we often hear that the rides to and from campus can be
as informative and enjoyable as the actual class session.
• Show up. Take advantage of the workshops and readings sponsored through the NEOMFA and its individual campuses.
Readings regularly take place through the University of Akron Department of English, the Cleveland State University
Poetry Center, the Wick Poetry Center at KSU, and the Youngstown State University Poetry Center. These series bring
in fiction writers, creative non-fiction writers, poets, and playwrights year-round. Come to the NEOMFA Playwrights
Festival. Additionally, our own guest artists give readings, lead workshops, and interact with students in different ways.
You can keep track of events by subscribing to the NEOMFA list-serve and finding us on social media. And for those of
you interested in theatre and performance, you are located near the second-largest theatre district in the country.
• Build Community. Your classmates will remain your active peers long after you’ve graduated. Read and respond thoughtfully to one another’s writing. Attend one another’s readings. Form writing groups. Give each other deadlines.
• As a student in the NEOMFA program, you are also a member of your gateway’s Department of English. Take part in
department and college activities for graduate students and expand your range of colleagues to include those in literature,
theory, composition and rhetoric, and other disciplines.
• If you aren’t sure about a course, a procedure, a requirement, a form, a meeting, a deadline a reading, or a party, just ask
your campus coordinator; NEOMFA office staff are also happy to assist.
• Put your writing and learning first. Keep in mind that you’ll probably never find yourself with the kind of freedom and
encouragement you’ll encounter in the NEOMFA. This is a community of emerging and established artists devoted to
exploring and expanding writing in all its forms and I encourage you to challenge and support one another. Don’t let
distractions take away from this opportunity.
I wish you great success in the NEOMFA.
Steve Reese
Director, Northeast Ohio Master
of Fine Arts in Creative Writing

Program Design
Your NEOMFA degree is in line with well-established, high quality degree programs in both Ohio and across the nation in
terms of faculty credentials, general requirements, and enrichment opportunities. The NEOMFA degree is distinguished
from other MFA degrees by its collaborative regional design and by its unique curricular offerings.
The MFA is recognized nationally as the terminal university degree in creative writing and thus requires more credit hours
than other Masters’ level degrees. The NEOMFA degree provides curricular offerings in fiction, poetry, creative nonfiction
and playwriting concentrations, with an internship requirement for all concentrations. If you are enrolled full time, you can
expect to complete the program of study within three years. You are required to complete your degree within six years
Academic Advising
As a NEOMFA student, your faculty advisor is the Campus Coordinator for your gateway. He or she will provide guidance
about degree requirements, appropriate courses, internships, and other academic matters. You are expected to meet
with your advisor once each semester to review your academic progress and to select courses for the next semester. In
addition, in order to keep accurate records of and to publicize student accomplishments, you should notify your Campus
Coordinator of publications, performances, readings, honors, and awards you have received for your work throughout
the year. The signature of the Campus Coordinator is required for all Cross-Registration, Thesis Committee, and Thesis
Defense forms.
Registering at Your Gateway
Each university has a Campus Coordinator and an English Department graduate advisor who can give you advice on
particular procedures for enrollment, which are usually online. After consulting with your Campus Coordinator in the
choice of courses (you may choose from the course lists located on the NEOMFA web site), go online to enroll in the
classes. Use the web address below for your gateway university:
at CSU log in to CampusNet:
https://campusnet.csuohio.edu
at KSU log in to Flashline:
http://login.kent.edu
at UA log in to Zipline:
http://zipline.uakron.edu
at YSU log in to MyYSU:
https://my.ysu.edu
If you get a message saying that enrollment in a particular course is “controlled” (limited to students in the MFA program,
or to those who have taken a prerequisite course), you may have to be enrolled manually by English department staff. See
the graduate advisor, or administrative assistant at your gateway English Department for help.
Cross-Registration Procedures
Currently there is no mechanism for NEOMFA student from other gateways to register directly at the host institution
where a course is taught, so the cross-registration process is mandatory when you are enrolling in courses at universities
other than your gateway.
First find the correct course name and number for the course in which you wish to enroll. Then fill out a cross-registration
form and submit it to your Campus Coordinator. Forms are available from your Campus Coordinator, in the back of this
Handbook, and also on the NEOMFA web site at http://www.uakron.edu/neomfa/current-students, in the Forms and Info
sidebar. Your English Department will take care of getting the requisite signatures. You should also directly contact (via
email) instructors in whose courses you are enrolling to let them know you will be attending, as your name may not appear
on their rosters. Instructor email addresses can be found online at neomfa.org or in the NEOMFA Administration Contact
List (p. 11).

Course Work
The total semester hours required to complete the program are 48 hours (including 39 of required courses and 9 hours
of elective courses). You must complete course work in the following areas within a maximum six-year period; full-time
students can expect to complete the program within three years.
Required Courses (39 Hours)
Writing Workshops (15 hours)
You will take 12 hours in your area of concentration (fiction, creative nonfiction, poetry, playwriting, or literary
translation) and at least 3 hours in a second area. While workshop courses may introduce new texts, theories, and
approaches to writing, and may require you to embark on new projects and to view your own writing practice and that of
others from new perspectives, the primary feature of the workshop is creation and critique of your own creative work.
Craft and Theory Courses (9 hours)*
You will take at least one but no more than two Craft and Theory courses in your primary genre; at least one Craft and
Theory course must be taken in another area. These courses approach literature from the writer’s point of view. The
primary feature of the craft and theory course is discussion and analysis of literary texts, literary theory, and criticism with
an emphasis on the craft of writing. Past examples of Craft and Theory courses include focuses on genre-bending fiction,
“unexpectedness” and form in poetry, and writing about place in creative nonfiction, among other topics.
Literature Courses (6 hours)
These classes focus on the reading of literary texts and will normally be taken in the university’s Department of English.
Recent examples of course offerings include: Shakespearean Drama, Twentieth Century British Poetry, American Literature
of the 1930s, and Expatriate Writers 1920-1939, among others. All literature courses must be taken at the graduate level.
*Students who matriculated previous to Fall 2011 may still complete six (6) Craft and Theory hours and nine (9) Literature hours.
Internship (3 hours)
You will take an internship in a workplace related to your interest and area of concentration. The internship requires eight
to ten hours per week in the workplace and monthly classes during the semester, at which you share and discuss your work
experiences. This course provides you with hands-on experience in teaching, editing, arts management, web development,
outreach to schools and communities, or other potential employment opportunities in the literary arts. While the central
focus of this course is professionalization, instructors in the past have also provided students with information about
submitting for publication, prizes, fellowships, and other opportunities.
Thesis Hours (6 hours)
You must register for six hours of thesis work before graduation. The thesis is to be a manuscript of high artistic quality
in your area of concentration written in consultation with a thesis committee. Further information about your thesis
committee and defense can be found on pages 5-6.
Elective Courses (9 Hours)
Electives are taken in advisor-approved areas such as literature, foreign languages and translation, theater, arts
administration, fine arts, professional writing, education, or other subjects relevant to your writing. All electives must be
taken at the graduate level, but may be classes that are cross-listed for undergraduates.
Evaluation of Instruction
In addition to campus-specific course evaluations, you will complete an anonymous NEOMFA course evaluation form
for each course. These forms and their instructions will be provided to faculty by the NEOMFA office. Faculty will receive
copies of all completed student evaluations only after grades have been submitted for the course in question. These
evaluations provide important feedback to faculty for continuous course improvement.

Graduation
Graduation Procedures
The curriculum leading to the MFA degree is initiated in the consortium, and each participating university is authorized
to award the degree. All universities require a “Progress to Candidacy” or “Intent to Graduate” form to be filed with your
gateway university’s graduate office, before the expected graduation. You must fulfill all degree requirements before the
degree can be awarded.
Graduation deadlines and specific processes leading to completion and filing of the thesis differ across the four
universities. It is your responsibility to work with the Campus Coordinator and your gateway university graduate office to
assure that all necessary paperwork is completed by established deadlines in order to qualify for graduation in the desired
semester.
Thesis Requirements and Defense
The capstone experience of the MFA degree in creative writing is the writing of a thesis. The thesis is to be a book-length
manuscript (at least 50 pages of poetry, 150 pages of fiction or nonfiction prose, or a full-length play) of high artistic
quality in the area of your concentration. Six hours of thesis credit are required. Normally you will enroll for three thesis
hours during each of the last two semesters of study. The procedures for thesis registration differ on each of the four
consortial campuses. You must consult your individual department guidelines and your Campus Coordinator before
registering for thesis hours.
The thesis defense for students in the NEOMFA consists of: a meeting with all members of the thesis committee; and a
separate public reading of the work with other graduating students, or, for playwriting students, production of the thesis
play.
Thesis Committee
You are responsible for forming a thesis committee and should begin seeking a director during the semester before the
first thesis hours are taken. The committee will consist of three NEOMFA faculty: a Thesis Director and two additional
faculty readers. Your thesis committee must consist of faculty from at least two consortial universities, one of which must
be your gateway university. In special cases, you may add a graduate faculty member from one of the consortial universities
to the committee to provide a needed area of expertise. In forming committees, you may seek advice from your Campus
Coordinator or other faculty with whom you have studied. The Campus Coordinator and the NEOMFA Program Director
must both approve the final committee on the NEOMFA Thesis Committee Form, a signed copy of which should be sent to
the NEOMFA Office.
All four gateway universities also require a university specific thesis committee form and possibly a prospectus, which
must be submitted internally to the appropriate graduate office. Please consult your department’s Graduate Secretary or
Graduate Director as well as your Campus Coordinator for advice on which forms your university requires.
You are expected to work closely with your Thesis Director. In addition, you must submit a solid draft of the thesis
well before the defense so that the thesis committee can provide feedback. The Thesis Director will be responsible for
contacting the other readers to assure the thesis is defensible and will arrange for the student defense of the thesis.
Thesis Defense Meeting
The thesis defense meeting will be a question and answer session that is directed primarily toward the thesis, but may
contain other topics you are expected to be familiar with by the completion of your MFA degree. Your Thesis Director
will schedule the defense meeting, which can be held on any of the four consortial campuses, usually on the one which
has the most members of the thesis committee. The timeline for the defense meeting differs on each campus. You should
check with the English Department and the Graduate School of your own gateway for relevant policies regarding thesis
4
completion and defense (e.g., a student whose gateway is YSU, but whose Thesis Director is at CSU, must abide by the
guidelines and timelines of the gateway university, YSU).
All members of the thesis committee are required to attend the thesis defense meeting, and the NEOMFA Program
Director must be kept informed of the time and the place that the group will meet. When the thesis defense meeting
is completed, the members of the committee will notify the NEOMFA Director and submit the appropriate defense
completion form to the gateway institution. An additional Thesis Defense Form must be signed and filed with the
NEOMFA Office.
Graduate Reading Requirement
In addition to the thesis defense meeting, you are also required to participate in a public reading from your thesis
manuscript. This reading, which will be coordinated and advertised through the office of the NEOMFA director, is as
much a celebration of your accomplishment as is the commencement ceremony at your gateway university. This is an
opportunity to showcase your work and to hear the work of students in several genres from multiple gateways. Faculty,
students, and administrators of the NEOMFA consortium universities, selected members of the community, as well as
graduating students’ family and friends will be invited to attend the reading and celebratory reception afterward.
Submitting Your Thesis
The penultimate draft of your thesis must be completed and in the hands of the committee no later than eight weeks before
your gateway commencement. The guidelines and deadlines for submitting the final copy of a thesis differ slightly at each
consortial university. You should consult your Campus Coordinator and the graduate office of your department for specific
guidelines.
In addition, you are required to submit one paper copy and one electronic copy of the final thesis to the NEOMFA director’s
office no later than one week before commencement. These are kept on file for review by NEOMFA students and faculty only.
Electronic Embargos
When you graduate from the NEOMFA, your consortial university retains rights to publish your thesis project
electronically through OhioLINK. Because the electronic publication of your thesis very well may discourage any
interested periodicals or presses from publishing your thesis work in the future, we highly recommend that you seek an
electronic embargo to delay the electronic publication of your thesis work. Immediately after your thesis defense, consult
your campus coordinator for instructions on how to obtain an electronic embargo against the electronic publication of
your thesis so that you may retain the rights to your work.
Graduate Evaluation
All graduating students are encouraged to complete an anonymous NEOMFA program evaluation after graduation. These
evaluations serve as a measure for continuous assessment and improvement of the NEOMFA program. Web Site & Email Listserv
Web Site
The best and most current source of information on the NEOMFA Program, admissions, faculty, courses, special
workshops, events, and opportunities is the NEOMFA website: neomfa.org.
Email Listserv
There is also an email list for all NEOMFA students. This is a good way to share information about events, classes,
carpooling, and NEOMFA gatherings. The list is administered by the NEOMFA Director and the NEOMFA Program
5
Coordinator. All students are expected to sign up for the email listserv. To sign up, follow the directions at:
http://lists.ysu.edu/mailman/listinfo.cgi/neomfa-students
When you send an email to this list, you are speaking to all NEOMFA students and faculty at all of the four universities.
If your email is meant to convey private or non-NEOMFA information, this is not the place for it; please send all private
information directly to individuals. Be aware that this is a public forum—your emails will go to every student and to some
if not all of the faculty in the NEOMFA program. Abusive language or behavior on a university list will not be tolerated.
Travel to Other Campuses
Because the strength of the NEOMFA Program lies in its multi-campus faculty and courses, you are expected to take
classes on more than one university campus during your enrollment in the program.
Parking
You must possess valid parking permits from your gateway university in order to obtain the additional permission—the
“YACK” sticker—to park on other consortial campuses. You can request this small holographic sticker at your campus
parking service. Affix it to your parking pass. Before parking in lots on an unfamiliar campus, it is wise to check the
individual university web site for advice on regulations. These regulations may change without warning.
• At CSU: a YACK sticker on a parking pass will allow you to park in any area designated as Student Parking.
• At KSU: a YACK Sticker on a parking pass will allow you to park in any area designated as C lots (Commuter Parking)
and in R7 lots after 4:00 pm.
• At UA: a YACK sticker on a parking pass will allow you to park in any area designated as C or Commuter Student
Parking.
• At YSU: a YACK Sticker on a parking pass will allow you to park in any area designated as Student Parking. If you want
to park in unattended gated lots, you must stop in at the YSU Parking Services Office and show them your parking pass
with its YACK sticker to obtain a pass card to open the gates.
Carpooling
It is a good idea to familiarize yourself with the campus you will be traveling to before your classes begin. Consider
carpooling with other students traveling to the same class. You may use the student email list for contacting other people
in your area interested in carpooling. Campus maps are located in the back of this Handbook and through links on the
NEOMFA website.
Libraries
Any student with a valid ID card from any of the consortium universities is free to check out books at any university library
in the state of Ohio either in person or through OhioLINK. Each campus differs on wireless and computer lab access, but
all have procedures for guest login while you are on a campus other than your own gateway university. Ask at the library
information or reference area with any questions about internet access.
OhioLINK
The Ohio Library and Information Network, OhioLINK, is a consortium of 86 Ohio college and university libraries, and
the State Library of Ohio, that work together to provide Ohio students, faculty and researchers with the information they
need for teaching and research. You can order materials from OhioLINK to be delivered to your gateway library by visiting
the OhioLINK web link on your library web site.

NEOMFA Events and Opportunities
The NEOMFA Program draws upon the resources of all four consortial campuses for programming throughout the
academic year. Poetry Centers located at CSU, KSU, and YSU bring in visiting writers in the fall and spring semesters;
The UA English Department has a Shakespeare Festival each spring. In addition, there are several literary and arts centers
in the area which sponsor readings, open mics, and conferences. You are strongly encouraged to take advantage of these
opportunities for professional growth.
Other Northeast Ohio events will be posted on the NEOMFA website and on the NEOMFA student email list.
Visiting Writers
Vital to any MFA program are its Visiting Writers. The NEOMFA provides regular (at least twice each year) opportunities
for you to meet with well-known writers in workshops for credit, seminars, readings, and social events. Whenever possible
we will attempt to schedule advising meetings, group informational meetings, and other social events around these events.
Previous NEOMFA Visiting Writers have included: Junot Diaz, Naomi Wallace, Sarah Vowell, Simon Armitage, Kate
Greenstreet, Heather Christle, Chuck Klosterman, Miranda July, Edwidge Danticat, William Heyen, Phillip Lopate,
Heather McHugh, Mickey Birnbaum, Joyce A. Dyer, Mary Morris, Mark Doty, Dora Malech, H.L. Hix, Walter Mosley,
James Galvin, Frederick Reiken, Michael Martone, Jeffrey Jones, and more.
Conferences
Attending and presenting at conferences is part of your professional development. You are encouraged to seek funding for
registration and travel from your gateway university English Department and graduate student organizations. Occasionally,
discretionary funds may be available for students presenting work at conferences.
AWP: The Association of Writers and writing Programs
Each year, AWP holds its Annual Conference in a different region of North America in order to celebrate the outstanding
authors, teachers, writing programs, literary centers, and small press publishers of that region. The Annual Conference
typically features 300 presentations: readings, lectures, panel discussions, and forums, plus hundreds of book signings,
receptions, dances, and informal gatherings. The conference attracts more than 5,000 attendees and more than 400
publishers. It is one of the biggest and liveliest literary gatherings in North America. NEOMFA typically sponsors an
exhibit table in the book fair and a public reception at AWP.
There are opportunities for you to attend the Annual Conference with registration fees and/or other partial expenses paid
if you are willing to work for the NEOMFA or other consortium organizations at the conference, or if you are presenting a
paper, reading, or are on a panel. More information is available at: http://www.awpwriter.org/conference/index.php.
Winter Wheat
Every year, a number of NEOMFA faculty and students travel to Bowling Green State University for the annual Winter
Wheat Literary Festival. BGSU is about two hours west of Cleveland, and the festival offers a number of readings, panels,
and other literary events, as well as the chance to network with other writers and MFA students. There is also a book fair
where you can pick up copies of literary magazines and books, and meet the editors. Local hotels offer a discount for
Winter Wheat participants, and registration to this conference is free for Ohio students.
For more information see: http://www.bgsu.edu/studentlife/organizations/midamericanreview/wwhome07.html.
The Juniper Summer Writing Workshop
NEOMFA students may be selected to attend the Juniper Summer Writing Institute at the University of Massachusetts,
Amherst. In the past, the NEOMFA has provided full fellowships (registration, room, and board) for selected students. For
more information, visit www.umass.edujuniperinstitute/
8
Playwrights Festival
Each spring semester the NEOMFA Playwrights Festival presents fully-produced student-written plays in conjunction with
a professional theatre. Normally reserved for culminating thesis plays , the festival serves to fully realize the writing of
playwrights through working with professional actors, directors and designers.
AWP Membership
The NEOMFA holds institutional membership in the Association of Writers and Writing Programs. This membership
qualifies you, as a NEOMFA student, for the following:
• Copies of the journal, The Writer’s Chronicle, published six times a year, which are distributed by your Campus
Coordinator or are available in the NEOMFA Office
• Access to the AWP job list
• Reduced rate entry fees for the AWP Award Series Competitions
Academy of American Poets Prize
The NEOMFA awards an annual poetry prize under the auspices of the Academy of American Poets. This award
recognizes two winners annually with a $50 honorarium, and two honorable mentions. Many of America’s most esteemed
poets won their first recognition through an Academy Prize, including a number of NEOMFA faculty.
Funding Opportunities
You have been admitted to the NEOMFA on a competitive basis as adjudicated by the NEOMFA Admissions Committee,
but for funding you must have applied through the English Department at the time of your application to your gateway
university. Although the individual procedures may vary by university, all assistantships are awarded by individual English
Departments and are usually based on GRE scores, GPA, letters of recommendation, academic writing samples, and
committee recommendations.
Full and partial funding opportunities are available to teach composition or to work for the Wick Poetry Center, the CSU
Poetry Center, or the Youngstown Poetry Center.
If you did not receive funding at the time of your admission to the program, you may be able to apply for funding for future
semesters. See your Campus Coordinator for more information on funding opportunities.
Some gateway universities also have other unique scholarship opportunities. These may be listed on the NEOMFA web site
Opportunities page, or on the University or English Department web site of your gateway university.

Student Policy Information
You are expected to be aware of and abide by the policies particular to your gateway university and English Department
regarding registration, enrollment, graduation, and assistantships or other funding.
Disability Accommodations and Nondiscrimination Policy
All four NEOMFA consortial universities have long-established policies of nondiscrimination on the basis of disability in
education and employment and provide reasonable accessibility and accommodations for persons with disabilities.
The NEOMFA Program complies with all university policies on disability accommodations and affirmative action in
regard to classes and activities held on campuses. Each campus has an office of accessibility that students from that campus
can contact for accommodations. However, if a student needs special accommodations for accessibility on a campus other
than their own, they should contact their Campus Coordinator and the NEOMFA office, who will assist them with the
process.
The NEOMFA complies with the strict nondiscrimination policies as established by each of the four consortial universities.
Although the specific language of these policies varies from university to university, each provides equal treatment for all
students regardless of race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, age, disability, or veteran status.
Academic Honesty
You are expected to perform your creative and academic work according to standards set by faculty members, departments,
schools, and colleges of your gateway university. Cheating and plagiarism constitute fraudulent misrepresentation for
which no credit can be given and for which appropriate sanctions are warranted and will be applied.
Leave of Absence Policy
NEOMFA students in good standing may request a one-semester leave of absence from the program. Students wishing
to delay studies for more than one semester must reapply to the NEOMFA by resubmitting the creative portfolio and
statement of goals, and undergoing a reevaluation by the admissions committee.
This leave of absence policy relates to the NEOMFA program only and is not a policy created or enforced by the graduate
schools of the four universities. The leave of absence is connected to the separate NEOMFA admissions process that is
required for students to matriculate in the program. The NEOMFA reserves the right to nullify a student’s NEOMFA
admissions acceptance based on an unsuccessful appeal for leave of absence or a leave of absence that exceeds one semester.
This does not necessarily mean that the student will lose graduate student status at the gateway, however, as it is only a
revocation of NEOMFA student status. Graduate school policies may vary.
A NEOMFA student wishing to request a one-semester leave of absence will initiate the process by discussing the leave
with his or her campus coordinator. Next the student will send a letter to the attention of the NEOMFA Program Director
and Executive Committee. The letter should outline the circumstances for the leave. In most cases, the student will request
a leave of absence before time away from the program. However, the NEOMFA does recognize that retroactive leaves of
absence may be warranted in certain circumstances, and will address them on a case-by-case basis.
Any questions about the leave of absence policy should be directed to the NEOMFA Program Director.

NEOMFA Cross-Registration Form
APPROVAL FOR ACCEPTANCE OF COURSEWORK AT NORTHEAST OHIO UNIVERSITIES
Under specific circumstances a graduate student may take one or more graduate courses at Cleveland State University, Kent State University, The
University of Akron, or Youngstown State University without registering as a transient student. The course should contribute to the student’s program
of study and be unavailable when needed to complete the student’s program at the student’s home institution. The student must be in good standing
(GPA>3.0) and be within time limits for completion of the program. The graduate program unit at the student’s home institution will establish a
graduate special topics or independent study course identification capable of being “tagged” by the home university with a title that will correspond to
the course title at the host university and with the initials of that university; i.e. CSU, KSU, UA, or YSU. Registration for such a course is controlled by
the home department and will be permitted only upon receipt of this approved form.
15
COMPLETION OF GRADUATE CROSS-REGISTRATION BY GRADUATE STUDENTS:
1. Student will print out and complete this form, securing signatures of the home/gateway academic adviser and department chair/school director, and
submit it to their academic adviser to be passed on to the Graduate School for the Associate Dean signature.
2. The Graduate School will fax the form to the Host University to secure the approval signatures.
3. The Host University Graduate Dean will fax the completed form to the student’s Home/Gateway Graduate School for distribution of copies to all parties.
