Transferring Credit

A Transfer Module completed at one Ohio, public college or university will automatically meet the requirements of the Transfer Module at another Ohio public college or university once the student is accepted. The Transfer Module:

• Is a subset or the complete set of a college or university's general education requirements.
  
  
• Consists of 54-60 quarter hours or 36 to 40 semester hours of courses in the following areas: 1) English, 2) mathematics, 3) arts and humanities, 4) social and behavioral science, 5) natural and physical sciences, and 6) interdisciplinary study.

Students may be required, however, to meet additional general education requirements at the institution to which they transfer that are not included in the Transfer Module. Additional policy details below.

Additional Transfer Module Policy Details

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.
