Transfer Course Equivalency Information

The transfer course equivalencies helps users find existing transfer credit equivalencies on record with The Ohio State University. Students should always consult with their academic advisor before completing coursework at another institution. 

Current Transfer Course Equivalencies and Tentative Evaluations for Current Students

  • Visit Transferology to view how your courses will transfer, or find an equivalent course to take at another school. It's free, easy, and accessible! When conducting a search, make sure that the exact university and campus are typed into Transferology for the correct equivalency result.
  • The Transfer Course Quick Equivalencies is currently being updated and is temporarily unavailable. In the meantime, please use Transferology or contact sae-transfercredit@osu.edu for assistance.

If you are a current Ohio State student and plan to take a course at another college, it is important that you find out how the credit transfers back to Ohio State and applies toward your degree requirements. Follow these steps to determine how your courses will transfer to Ohio State: 

  1. Prior to enrolling, discuss your plans with your Ohio State academic advisor. Your advisor can help you identify the courses that you are required to take for your Ohio State degree. 
  2. Visit Transferology for information on how courses will transfer and apply toward your degree program at Ohio State. Use the Transferology Course Equivalency Guides to search for the particular course(s) that you are interested in taking, and use the Transferology Planning Guides to see how the course(s) will apply toward your Ohio State degree. Once your equivalency is determined, skip to step 4. If you cannot find your course equivalency information in Transferology, proceed to step 3. 
  3. If your course equivalency information is not on Transferology, you will need to contact the academic department for help in determining an Ohio State course equivalent. You may be asked to submit information such as course syllabi, text information or course descriptions in order for the department to be able to determine the course equivalency.

•Please note: If a course is reviewed and determined to transfer as special credit rather than an Ohio State course equivalent, applicability toward general education, major, minor, or degree requirements is not guaranteed. Students should consult with their academic advisor regarding a curricular exception and should allow sufficient time for review before enrolling in the course.

     4. After you have completed your coursework, contact the Registrar at that college for an official transcript to be sent to Ohio State.
