Transfer Guideline Resources
- The Ohio Department of Higher Education has developed a system to ensure that students can begin their college education at any public institution of higher learning in Ohio and transfer to any other public institution of higher learning in Ohio without unnecessarily duplicating credit.
- Transfer Assurance Guides (TAGs): Transfer Assurance Guides have been developed to create pathways to degree completion.
- Transfer Assurance Guide Course Reporting: To find out if your current institution and your destination institution have approved course matches for TAG courses, consult the Transfer Assurance Guide Course Reporting System.
- Ohio Articulation Number (OAN): TAGs provide guidelines for course selection for each pathway. Courses at public institutions across Ohio that meet TAG requirements have been assigned an OAN.
- Ohio Transfer 36 (formerly known as Ohio Transfer Module [OTM]): Students attending Ohio public institutions can choose Ohio Transfer 36 courses to satisfy general education courses.
