How can I find out if my courses will transfer to OSU?

Step 1: Check Transferology.com

Step 2: If the course is not on Transferology.com, acquire the complete course syllabus by contacting the course instructor. A brief course description from a website is not sufficient.

Step 3: Send the syllabus and any other required materials for evaluation. Course equivalencies are evaluated by the department from which the course is taught. For example, the chemistry department evaluates all chemistry classes, regardless of the student's intended major. Transfer Credit Coordinators and required materials by department are listed on the Registrar's website.

Are You a Transfer Student?

If you are planning to or have transferred to Ohio State, the Admissions Office will do a preliminary evaluation of your transcript (submitted with your OSU application), decide which courses transfer to Ohio State, and assign either Ohio State course numbers, general, special, technical, or deferred credit for your courses. You can find a description of this process and of different types of credit on the OSU Orientation Website. 

Course equivalencies are evaluated by the department from which the course is taught. For example, the chemistry department evaluates all chemistry classes, regardless of the student's intended major. Transfer Credit Coordinators are listed on the Registrar's website. 

Planning To Take a Course At Home Over The Summer?

If you are a current student at Ohio State and you are interested in finding out ahead of time how a course will transfer into the university, you can search for course equivalencies on Ohio State's Transferology page. If the course is not there, you will need to get the course evaluated. Course equivalencies are evaluated by the department from which the course is taught. For example, the chemistry department evaluates all chemistry classes, regardless of the student's intended major. Transfer Credit Coordinators are listed on the Registrar's website. 

Planning To Study Abroad?

For more information on Study Abroad Programs, please visit the webpage for the Office of International Affairs.

If you will be studying abroad, it is best to have your courses evaluated before you go. Course equivalencies are evaluated by the department from which the course is taught. For example, the chemistry department evaluates all chemistry classes, regardless of the student's intended major. Transfer Credit Coordinators are listed on the Registrar's website.
