Occupational Outlook Handbook
The Bureau of Labor Statistics provides an online Occupational Outlook Handbook (OOH) that contains information on hundreds of occupations in the U.S.
The OOH, updated every 2 years, is a great tool to use when deciding on whether
or not to pursue a college degree and for researching career fields. It provides
everything you’ve ever wanted to know about a particular career field in one convenient place. You can explore the following aspects of all occupations:

Students must attend the first week of the term or they will be dropped from their
class. This also applies to distance learning courses. Attendance is taken during the
add/drop period in every course offered in every location at Saint Leo University. Attendance is taken for the purpose of establishing a student's enrollment in a specific course
so that Title IV funds may be disbursed to the student. No Title IV funds are given to a
student who has not attended class during the add/drop period. Students who do not
attend at least one meeting of the course during the add/drop period will have their registration for that course canceled, and the record of their registration in that course deleted. A deleted record due to a student's failure to attend the class during the add/drop
period may have an adverse effect on the student's financial aid.
It is also pertinent for students using VA education benefits to attend their classes as
well. Receiving a grade of FA (failure to attend) not only impacts one's GPA but
can affect disbursed payments.
It’s a great tool and can be located at: www.bls.gov/ooh/. If you have any questions, or need assistance, contact the Columbus Center.
