Your major courses will be evaluated by your college office.

Recently, the Ohio Board of Regents established a system that standardizes credits among Ohio's public colleges and universities into "transfer modules." Students who successfully complete modules at one school will automatically receive credit for them at their new school.

Also, the state has set up the Course Applicability System, an online guide to help students, faculty, advisers and others to evaluate their current credits and how they might be used in pursuit of an academic degree at the different Ohio schools.
