Students entering the Ohio State University with transfer credit from other institutions will encounter one of two scenarios. Students can review their  Transfer Credit Evaluation in Buckeye Degree Planner.

1. Direct Equivalents – These are recognized courses by the university and are direct matches to OSU courses, so they will automatically transfer upon receiving a final transcript. These courses are listed on your Transfer Credit Evaluation with a course number, such as HISTART 2001, and do not need to be evaluated by a department representative.
2. Unevaluated Credit – These courses will temporarily be approved as “General” (G000.xx) or “Deferred” (D000.xx) credit until the corresponding department can evaluate the course content and syllabus to determine the OSU equivalent.
   • If you are interested in receiving course credit within the History of Art Department, please email a syllabus and ideally, a PDF of your Transfer Credit Evaluation, to historyofart@osu.edu.
   • All syllabi must be translated and verifiable from the institution in question, and must include a course breakdown and timeline. Submitting fraudulent materials is considered academic misconduct.
