Guidelines for transfer students

Students transferring from another college on the main campus, the Firelands campus, or pre-major advising should initiate the transfer process by speaking with an advisor in the College of Technology's Student Program Services office. After completing a College Transfer Form, the student receives an official orientation from a staff member in Student Program Services (419-372-7581).

Students transferring from another institution
Students who have earned an associate degree in an engineering or related technology from a regionally accredited post-secondary institution have some advantages in completing their baccalaureate degree in technology. Consistent with University policy, all credits earned at such institutions will count as credits toward graduation. Upon admission, a student’s coursework will be evaluated, and those courses appropriate for the major will be used to satisfy specific degree requirements. Additionally, because of the background accumulated at the two-year institution, some introductory courses may be waived even if the student has not taken courses directly equivalent to those required at the University.

Students with associate degrees may waive one of the required semester-long cooperative education experiences. Additionally, if a student has been employed, full-time, in a related field for at least one year, he or she may receive credit for an additional co-op through the credit-by-exam process.

For ease in transferring into BGSU, students should refer to the statewide Course Applicability System at u.select - a course applicability system.
