Schedules
Current Ashland University Students interested in taking courses at another institution need to read and complete the following form. Acceptance of transfer credit will depend upon applicability of course to program at Ashland University.
Transient Student Certification Form
Students interested in Transferring to Ashland University
A student from an accredited institution of higher learning may be considered for admission as a transfer student to Ashland University provided s/he is in good standing socially and academically with at least a 2.25/4.0 cumulative GPA at the previous college(s) attended. For additional information regarding credit transfer, see page 6 of the undergraduate catalog. Start the application process online at www.exploreashland.com/apply.php
International Students interested in Transferring to Ashland University
Because an international student studying in the U.S. has added burdens of adjustment to language and culture, s/he is required to have the equivalent of a 2.75/4.0 GPA on the American system. For countries which do not use the grade point average, a determination is made to equate the score to the U.S. system.
For additional information see page 7 of the undergraduate catalog. Visit the International Student Services website for application procedures.
Credit Transfer Policy for Core Courses
All students who enroll at Ashland University with college credit from other institutions shall be considered transfer students for the purposes of this policy. This includes students who have taken advanced placement courses and CLEP exams, or have obtained credit through the post-secondary option program.
Transfer Students
- For students transferring to Ashland University, course credits from other institutions will be evaluated by the registrar, in consultation with department chairs and the Core Director. While Ashland University does not formally participate in Ohio's "Statewide Articulation and Transfer Policy," the Transfer Module is one basis for evaluating course equivalencies when transferring general education courses to meet Institutional Baccalaureate Requirements. Transfer Module Guidelines
- Students entering with 30-59 transferable hours must take at least
two Core liberal arts courses (Aesthetics, Humanities, Natural
Sciences, Social Sciences, and Historical Reasoning categories) at
Ashland and students entering with 60 transferable hours are
required to take at least one Core liberal arts course, even if all
Core requirements have been met through courses taken at another
institution. - Where articulation agreements have been signed with other
institutions, university officials will strive whenever possible to
recommend courses in keeping with the spirit of AU’s Core
Curriculum.
Ashland University Students
Once students enroll at Ashland University, all remaining AU Core requirements must be fulfilled by approved AU courses or by courses at other institutions which are judged appropriate to fit one of the categories of the AU core. Students must fill out a transient student form in advance of taking the course for an evaluation of the proposed transfer course credit.
