OHIO STATEWIDE TRANSFER GUARANTEES

Ohio Guaranteed Transfer Credit Kent State University is part of the University System of Ohio (USO). As a member,
Kent State follows statewide transfer credit policies that align courses throughout the Ohio system. This allows for
easier transfer of your credit and more applicability to academic areas of study. To view the guides for these
guarantees, see the ODHE reporting website at https://transfercredit.ohio.gov/.
ADVANCED PLACEMENT (AP)
Kent State awards AP credit if the credit appears on your transcript from a previous Ohio school. You may not need to
provide any additional documentation. If your current Ohio school does not include your AP credit on your transcript,
then you should have original copies of your scores forwarded to Kent State. As part of the USO, a minimum score of
three is required to earn credit. KSU's code is 1367 for AP credit.
CAREER TECHNICAL ASSURANCE GUIDES (CTAGS OR CT2)
Students who successfully complete specified high school technical programs are eligible to have technical credit
transfer to Ohio public colleges and universities. This transfer of credit is described in the Career Technical Assurance
Guides (CTAG). The CTAG serves as an advising tool to identify programs and courses that are part of this state-wide
transfer agreement. Visit the Career Technical Assurance Guide Approved Courses Reporting System for more
information on how your CT2 credit aligns with KSU coursework.

OHIO COLLEGE TECH PREP
Ohio College Tech Prep (CTP) prepares high school students for post-secondary education and high skill, high demand
technical careers. Students enter the CTP programs while in high school and upon completion, are eligible for
articulated college credit at Ohio public colleges and universities. For more information, visit the CTP website.
OHIO TRANSFER MODULE (OTM)

The Ohio Transfer Module is a subset or a complete set of a college's or university's general education requirements.
The OTM contains 36-40 semester hours or 54-60 quarter hours of courses in the fields of (1) English; (2) mathematics;
(3) arts/humanities; (4) social and behavioral sciences; (5) natural sciences; and (6) interdisciplinary coursework
(optional). Visit the Ohio Higher Education Transfer Reporting System website for more information on how your
OTM/general education courses fit within the Kent Core.
MILITARY COURSES AND TRAINING (MTAGS)
Since the introduction of Ohio GI Promise, Kent State University has been among the 36 public Ohio colleges and
universities committed to the acceptance and awarding of college credit for training and experience in the United
States Armed Forces or National Guard, as long as it has been approved by the American Council on Education (ACE) or
a regional accrediting body, such as the Higher Learning Commission. By providing a JST, we can look up the course or
occupations on the ACE website to see how many credits are recommended for those military experiences.

TRANSFER ASSURANGE GUIDES (TAGS)
TAGs are introductory level courses that represent common requirements within various Bachelor degrees. Courses
or sequences identified as a TAG may be offered at any school in the University System of Ohio (USO). TAGs courses
transfer as direct equivalents and apply to specific majors equitably for all USO institutions.
Please note that transferability of credit does not determine applicability of courses to a student’s major program.
Program applicability is overseen by the college of the program, not the Credit Transfer Office.
