The Ohio State University

Tentative Evaluation

 

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 OSU:

1. Discuss your plans with your OSU academic advisor.  Your advisor can help you identify the courses that you are required to take for your OSU degree.

2. Go to u.select (new window).  u.select contains information on how courses will transfer and apply towards your degree program at Ohio State.  Use the u.select Course Equivalency Guides to search for the particular course(s) that you are interested in taking, and use the u.select Planning Guides to see how the course(s) will apply towards your OSU degree.  Once your equivalency is determined, skip to step 4.  If you cannot find your course equivalency information in u.select, proceed to step 3.

3. If your course equivalency information is not on u.select, you will need to contact the academic department for help in determining an OSU 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.  Contact information for the departmental Transfer Credit Coordinators can be found here (new window).

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