Military Transfer Assurance Guides (MTAGs) and crosswalks provide an easy to understand conversion table which matches YSU courses with the various military courses or occupational specialties that have been evaluated by the State (MTAGS) or the university (departmental). Evaluations of military occupations and courses are ongoing, and the ones listed in the crosswalk have been officially approved, but more will be added as time goes on. If you do not see your particular military course or occupation listed in our crosswalk, see the Office of Veterans Affairs for assistance in downloading your Joint Service Transcript, so that you can work individually with the appropriate department for an assessment of your military training.
YSU has identified many military courses and occupations that are transferrable as YSU credits. You can see all current equivalencies by accessing the military credit table.The table also contains the updated MTAGs identified by the Ohio Department of Higher Education.
YSU will evaluate and may award credit for recognized proficiencies that equate to specific courses offered at their institutions through certifications and licensure. A crosswalk of major certifications and licensure and course credit by exemption are listed. The certification listed meets or exceeds credit for the corresponding course(s) listed. Students may receive pre-approved credit for certifications and licensure, without completing a portfolio. However, official documentation of licensure/certification may be required. Contact the PLA Coordinator for more information.
