Institutional Transfer and the Transfer Module

      The Ohio Board of Regents developed a statewide policy which will facilitate the transfer of students in Ohio colleges and universities. This policy, referred to as the Transfer Module, allows students who meet the Transfer Module requirements of their home institutions to meet automatically the Transfer Module requirements of the colleges or universities to which they transfer, even though the requirements of the institutions may vary. Students should note, however, that after transfer, they will be required to meet additional general education requirements that are not included in the 
Transfer Module.
     The Transfer Module is made up of a specific subset or the entire set of a college or university’s general education requirements in English composition, mathematics, humanities, fine arts, social science, behavioral science, physical science, natural science and interdisciplinary course work. The study of foreign language is also encouraged. The requirements contain 54-60 quarter hours or 36-40 semester hours of course credits, as specified by individual colleges and universities.
     Under the guidelines of the Transfer Module policy, receiving institutions will give priority admission status to students who have completed either the Associate of Arts degree; the Associate of Science degree; or ninety quarter hours, including the Transfer Module, with a grade-point average of 2.0 or above.
     Students should note, however, that admission to an institution does not necessarily guarantee admission into a particular major, minor, or field of concentration.
     After transfer students are admitted into their receiving institutions, they are subject to the same regulations, including residency requirements, as are native students. They also will be given the same class standing and other privileges as native students. As early as possible in their academic careers, all transfer students should communicate with various colleges and universities to which they would like to transfer. These communications and subsequent early decisions about majors and prospective receiving institutions will enable students to plan their courses of study at their transfer institutions. This planning, along with the help provided by the Transfer Module, should make the transfer of students in Ohio schools work smoothly. Southern State cannot be responsible if the student takes courses out of sequence or substitutes courses for those listed in the program.

Transfer Module Requirements
The Transfer Module at Southern State Community College (effective Autumn Quarter 1991) consists of 56 quarter credit hours of introductory courses in: English Composition/Oral Communications, Mathematics, Arts/Humanities, Social and Behavioral Sciences, and Natural and Physical Sciences. Students should follow these directions in selecting courses for the Transfer Module:
1. Select minimum requirements from introductory courses following the instructions  provided in each section.
2. Complete the required minimum hours of the Transfer Module from the remaining courses on this list.
NOTE: Be sure to check with an academic advisor to assure the courses selected are the most appropriate for the major and the transfer college or university selected.
