How is transfer credit awarded?
In general, transfer credit is awarded for non-technical, non-remedial courses in which a grade of C- or higher is earned. Some courses will be evaluated as direct Ohio State equivalents. Other courses cannot be fully evaluated until you arrive on campus and meet with designated faculty members in the appropriate programs.
Many of our students have previously attended other colleges. We award transfer credit based upon the courses youve successfully completed with a minimum grade of C or better. Studio art transfer credit is based on a portfolio review. We also award credit for specific sCores on Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, and British A-Level exams.

Other courses cannot be fully evaluated until you arrive on campus and meet with designated faculty members in the appropriate programs. Students who have taken course work at other Ohio institutions may want to use the Course Applicability System (CAS), which offers course descriptions, equivalencies, and planning guides. You may access this system by going to http://www.transfer.org.
Students accepted to the University that have not completed a prior bachelors or higher degree will have a transfer credit evaluation conducted by the University Office of Admissions and Records. For prior coursework in architecture or related fields of study, the School will be consulted for the appropriate award of credit. The University Office will apply credits as appropriate to meet the Universitys General Education and other requirements. For more information, visit manoa.hawaii.edu/admissions/ Students accepted to the University that have completed a prior bachelors or higher degree will have a transfer credit evaluation conducted by the School. Students will be allowed to substitute elective courses for those courses that are deemed equivalent to courses required for the degree program. Students may be requested to provide course descriptions, course syllabi, and other information in order to properly evaluate prior coursework.
If you are offered transfer admission to Clarkson, we will send your transcript(s) and course descriptions to your academic department at Clarkson for an official evaluation. The faculty evaluator will compare the courses you have taken, or will have taken by the time you enroll, to the required courses in your Clarkson degree program. A grade of “C” or better must be achieved for a course to transfer. We will only transfer in those courses which meet a requirement in your degree program.
