Transferring Credit to Otterbein
Transfer Credit Policy
Otterbein accepts credits from two and four-year institutions that are fully accredited by the appropriate regional accrediting agencies. While there is no limit to the number of credits transferred from four-year institutions, a maximum of 90 quarter hours may be transferred from all two-year institutions combined.
Of the courses transferred to Otterbein from all institutions combined, a maximum of 10 quarter hours will be accepted from college corresp<;mdence courses and the same maximum will be accepted from college courses graded on a pass/fail basis.
Only those courses with grades of C- or better will be considered for transfer. Individual departments' minimum grade requirements may vary. The actual grades are not transferred and thus will not be included in the Otterbein grade point average.
Prior to the beginning of the quarter in which the student enrolls, current official college transcripts from all institutions previously attended must be submitted to Otterbein for evaluation. Violation of this requirement will place the student in jeopardy of dismissal. A final official transfer evaluation will be made within one term of the date you have registered for classes and all official transcripts are received by the Registrar.
Ifa student's academic credentials are from an institution outside the United States a World Education Services, Inc. (WES) course-by-course evaluation of all post-sec~ ondary education must be provided. WES charges a fee of approximately $125 for this service, and Otterbein will reimburse the student when one term of enrollment has been completed. WES details and instructions are available at their website, www. wes.org.
Evaluations are not made until all official transcripts have been received. At the latest, the official evaluation occurs by the end of the first quarter of attendance.
All contents of the student's admission file become the legal property of the College and are not returnable or transferrable.
