Transfer Frequently Asked Questions

General transfer questions

You are considered a transfer student if you have earned 12 or more college-level (non-remedial) semester hours  you graduate from high school graduation or get your GED. 

If the only college-level credit you have earned was completed 之前 graduating from high school – through a 程序 such as 大学学分加, post-secondary enrollment options (PSEO), 双录取, 等. – you are considered a first-time freshman applicant.

No. Grades and grade point averages do not transfer. Your previous college grades will be used to determine your eligibility for admission to BGSU and admission to select 程序s of study once you are a student at BGSU. Your previous college grade point average also will be used to determine eligibility for honors and academic recognition.

Transfer students are not required to live on campus as long as they meet one of the following requirements:

  1. Taking more than 60 credit hours 
  2. Live within 50 miles of BGSU
  3. Have an associate degree

Credit transfer questions

The only way to get an official evaluation of which credits will transfer is to apply to BGSU. An official transfer credit evaluation is sent to you about two weeks 后 you have been admitted.

一般, coursework completed at other accredited institutions is considered for transfer credit if:

  • You earned a D or better
  • The course is comparable to coursework in the BGSU curriculum

Transfer credit also may be awarded for learning experiences acquired outside a formal classroom setting, such as military credit.  联系 Nontraditional and Military 学生服务 有关详细信息,.

A conversion to semester hours is done by multiplying the number of quarter hours earned/attempted by 0.67. The resulting number of semester hours will appear less than the number of quarter hours you have earned/attempted. 

学生 from schools on quarters do not generally have to take additional classes when transferring to BGSU. But be aware that in some situations it may be necessary to complete additional requirements in order to obtain the minimum number of hours required to graduate or to meet the requirements for specific degree 程序s.

俄亥俄转学 (formerly known as the Ohio Transfer Module) is meant to ensure that general education coursework completed at one Ohio public institution of higher education transfers to another in the state.
