Transfer from Other Universities

• Transfer from Other Colleges Within Ohio University

Applicants to the College of Arts and Sciences from other accredited collegiate institutions must first meet Ohio University's transfer specifications as outlined in the Transfer Applicant section of the university catalog (p.8). As a transfer student to the College of Arts and Sciences, you must declare a major other than undecided.

Student records sent to the Office of Admissions from other collegiate institutions rarely include high school transcripts. The College of Arts and Sciences is unable to assess language placement without a record of the foreign language you completed in high school. Transferring students should order a high school transcript that includes final semester grades to be sent directly to the Office of Student Affairs, College of Arts and Sciences.

In addition to fulfilling Ohio University residency requirements, you are required to complete at least 12 quarter hours of 2.0 work in the major with courses at the 300 level or above at Ohio University. The courses should be approved by the department chair. If you have a double major, you are required to complete at least nine quarter hours at the 300 level or above in each of the two departments at Ohio University, while maintaining a 2.0 g.p.a. Courses should be approved by the chairs of the two departments involved.

To fulfill a minor in Arts and Sciences, a transfer student must complete 8 hours of course work at Ohio University at the 300-400 level with a grade of 2.0 or above.
