Transfer of Credits (Articulation Agreements)

Ohio Christian University welcomes students to apply transfer credits from other institutions. The following provisions govern transferring credits to OCU:

1. The student seeking enrollment by transfer from another college will complete the regular admission process with the addition of a transcript review accomplished by OCU.
2. All undergraduate academic courses in which at least a “C-” grade or its equivalent has been earned are eligible for transfer, providing the courses were taken at a regionally or ABHE accredited college/university.
3. Credits earned at an institution that does not hold regional or ABHE accreditation will be accepted only after probationary study at OCU of 30 credit hours and achievement of a 2.0 grade point average or better. The maximum number of credits transferable from a school without regional or ABHE accreditation is 60 semester credits.
4. Courses must be for college credit (i.e., not development).
5. Only Bible, religion, and theology credits earned at ABHE, CCCU, or similar institutions will count toward the Bible, theology, and religion general education requirements.
6. OCU may accept up to 9 credit hours in transfer for graduate programs.  All graduate academic courses must meet the following criteria for transfer:

The course is no more than 10 years old.

The course is equivalent to the course being substituted.

A minimum grade of “B” was earned for the course.

The course was not earned for a degree that was already conferred.

OCU uses semester hours. One quarter hour is worth 0.67 of a semester hour.
