Transfer Program

A transfer student is one who has completed undergraduate studies at a university or college other than OSU, and transferred to a degree program at our institution.

Transfer credit is course credit granted by coordinators in the transfer credit center, Office of the University Registrar.

Most transfer credit is assigned automatically by credit coordinators upon admission where equivalent courses have been specified. In many cases, students receive general/unspecified transfer credit for courses taken in Spanish at another accredited university or college. The general credit must be specified in the Department of Spanish and Portuguese according to established equivalents. In these cases, students must contact an academic advisor in our Department.

The following documents or information must be provided for proper specification of transfer credit:

General credit evaluation form prepared by a transfer credit coordinator in the transfer credit center, university registrar.
Transcript from previous university or college which includes course work taken and credit earned in Spanish there.
Syllabus for each Spanish course for which general or specific transfer credit has been granted. Course descriptions from course offerings catalogues are not sufficient. Where syllabi are not available, textbooks, notes and papers from relevant courses may be used in the evaluation at the discretion of the credit coordinator.

NOTE: It is a transfer credit students responsibility to provide all required and requested information to facilitate the credit evaluation process. Transfer credit requests will remain pending until all required or requested information and documentation has been provided.
