Information for Transfer Students
The college transfer process has become a valuable part of many students' higher education experience. We understand that your earned credits are important to you.
Youngstown State University reviews credits from colleges and universities that are regionally and non-regionally accredited.
How Do I Know if All My Credits Will Transfer?
Youngstown State University offers a tool called Transferology that allows a transfer student to see how credits may transfer.
Transferring between institutions can provide some challenges, especially gaining credit for specific classes that might not be taught at both institutions. Oftentimes, a syllabus or course catalog might need to be provided so that institutions can determine if credit can be awarded.
Youngstown State University will review and evaluate all credits. All credits, except developmental courses, will transfer, but not all will apply to major requirements.
Below are resources that can help you plan courses you can take before transferring to YSU.
Transferology is a nationwide network designed to help students explore their college transfer options. Our goal is to save students time and money by providing a quick, intuitive way of getting their college transfer credit questions answered.
