Ohio Christian University welcomes students to apply transfer credits from other institutions. The following provisions govern transferring credits to OCU:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Courses must be for college credit (i.e., not development).
- Only Bible, religion, and theology credits earned at ABHE, CCCU, or similar institutions will count toward the Bible, theology, and religion general education requirements.
- 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.
