Some students chose to start their
college education as a FUTURE Buckeye. Because of technology,
the process of transferring into The Ohio State University
is an increasingly easier process. The universities and colleges
in the state of Ohio that offer coursework in agriculture,
horticulture, and natural resources are all members of a consortium
called the Ohio
Collegiate Agricultural Educators (OCAGE). Their web
site can help you locate a college or university in your
area that offers coursework that is transferable into the
College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences
at The Ohio State University.
Another helpful resource is the Course
Applicability System (CAS). Just click on Course Equivalency
Guides on the left side of the page and follow the instructions
to see how courses transfer into The Ohio State University
from your chosen university within the state of Ohio.
For a general idea as to what courses at your present university/college
are going to pertain to your goal of graduating from OSU,
you should reference the curriculum guide for your expected
major. These can be found on the Current
Students Majors web page.
Course descriptions (click on the current quarter and
then bulletin next to the department you are looking for)
for courses within your expected major's curriculum guide
should also be compared to descriptions at your present university
to pick the most suitable courses for transferring.
Coursework taken prior to high school graduation does not
make you a transfer student. You will still apply to OSU as
a freshman and be treated as a freshman in regards to academic
services, financial aid and housing requirements. Some aspects
of student life, such as parking passes, revert to the total
number of credit hours you have earned. The grades you receive
at other universities will not average into your OSU grade
point average. It should be noted that when applying to graduate
school and for some jobs, official transcripts must be sent
from the originating university and all grades are typically
averaged.
