How is transfer credit awarded?
Once admitted, UMAs Transfer Officer will review your transcripts to determine what transfer credit will be awarded. Once courses have been reviewed, the Transfer Officer will send a copy of the evaluation that indicates how previous course work equates to UMA courses. We will also send an academic check sheet that shows how the transfer courses fit into your UMA program. Go to “Transfer Students” to find out more.
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 OSU equivalents. 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. Courses from an Ohio public institution taken AU05 and beyond: If a course with a grade of D or D+ was taken at an Ohio public institution AU05 and beyond, credit can be awarded for that course.
