A and AS Levels

Option for:  International students

 

 

The Advanced Level and Advanced Subsidiary Level are subject-based exams taken by students studying under a British based curriculum. Ohio State will award credit for official results sent to the Undergraduate Admissions office. To be considered official, results certificates must be originals, or copies certified by the examining board, or copies attested by the secondary school where the student studied.

A certified or attested copy is one that bears an original signature of the registrar or other designated school official, an original impression of the institution’s seal, or signature/seal of the examining board. Note that we require the General Certificate of Education and will not accept the Statement of Results.

Please note the Advanced Subsidiary Level examinations (or "AS Levels") are not the same as the Advanced Level examinations (or "A Levels"). The syllabus content for an AS Level course is typically the first half of the content taught in an A Level course (e.g., a one-year course instead of a two-year course). Ohio State will award partial credit for AS Levels.

For questions, contact International Undergraduate Admissions.
