Transferring to CFAES from another college or university

If you are currently attending a college or university that is not part of The Ohio State University, you’ll need to meet these minimum requirements to be considered for transfer to CFAES:

  • 30 or more hours of transferable college credit completed after high school graduation
  • 2.0 or higher cumulative college GPA

Meeting these requirements does not guarantee admission, but it makes you eligible to be considered.

Don’t forget Ohio State’s transfer criteria

Ohio State also has university-wide transfer admission standards you must meet in addition to CFAES expectations.
