I'm looking for a website that could help me understand the specifics of transferring college credits within Ohio. Any recommendations for sites that provide detailed and updated information?
Sure, Ohio has a fantastic resource for this exact purpose! The Ohio Department of Higher Education has a system called the "Transfer to Degree Guarantee" (T2DG). This online resource helps students in Ohio find out what credits will transfer between different public colleges and universities within the state.
With this tool, you can see a list of all the public institutions in Ohio, pick two, and see a side-by-side comparison of equivalent courses. It's really handy because you can check whether credit for an individual course or an entire completed program (like an associate degree) will transfer.
It is user-friendly and provides resources for students, parents, and counselors too. The website also covers information on how to transfer Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB), and College Level Examination Program (CLEP) credits.
Just remember to also talk with your prospective school's transfer admissions officer because the website might not have information on recent course changes or how credits apply to your specific major. It's a great starting point, but nothing beats a direct conversation with admissions.
