Easy Credit Transfer

Start Anywhere. Finish Anywhere.

Courses and programs taken at any University System of Ohio school will transfer to any other public institution in the state. This gives students the flexibility of choosing lower-cost and more convenient options. For example, students are able to earn credits at a less expensive community college or branch campus prior to transferring to a four-year university.

In addition to saving money, students who take advantage of easy transfer can equally excel, academically, and graduate with a bachelor’s degree.

Ohio Credit Transfer
Credit Transfer is the Ohio Board of Regents initiative to manage, direct and promote all related programs. The Ohio Articulation and Transfer Policy was created in response to legislative concerns over the ability of students to transfer effectively between Ohio's public post-secondary institutions of higher education.

Here are some steps to consider if you expect to transfer from one college to another:

• Investigate the transfer policies at the college where you expect to receive your degree. Policies on applicability of transfer credits vary among colleges.
• Involve your college advisor, often a faculty member, in planning your course of study to meet the requirements for the degree you want. Try to select courses that will be accepted at the institution you will transfer to.
• Be aware that changing your major most likely will reduce the number of credits that you can take to the new college. This may increase the time you must spend in college before you receive your degree.
• Remember that remedial courses will generally not be applied to any degree program.
• Be prepared to spend time in the transfer process. Even though you have been enrolled in a college, you will need to go through the transfer process required by the new college.
