Postsecondary Credits
Many students will take courses in high school that award college credit. This is a commendable act that will aid in your ability to graduate in a timely manner, squeeze in extra internships and study abroad programs, or to take additional courses that you would not have been able to fit in.

The most common ways that students earn this credit is through Advanced Placement courses or through taking actual college courses (in Ohio this is called the Post-Secondary Option).

The Post-Secondary Option courses transfer into Ohio State just like you were transferring as a current university student. The Course Applicability System will allow you to match courses at other universities in Ohio with courses taught at The Ohio State University. Just click on Course Equivalency Guide on the left side of the page. If a course is not listed, it may simply mean that it is not regularly transferred to The Ohio State University.  You should also reference the sample four year plan for your intended major when choosing courses to take through the Post-Secondary Option.

You can view the Advanced Placement or CLEP test scores needed to earn Ohio State credit by visiting our Office of Testing web site (click on Credit by Examination and scroll to the bottom).
