Training & Certification Crosswalks
Military Transfer Assurance Guides and Crosswalks
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.
Certifications and Licensure Course Credit Crosswalk
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.

Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) Through Portfolio for the Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design
At our university, we recognize that students may have acquired valuable knowledge and skills through life experiences. These experiences can be equivalent to the courses we offer. Our PLA option allows students to have their life experiences evaluated as educational experiences and credited toward their degree.
How It Works:
- Past Employment: If you’ve worked as a professional designer, your employment history can contribute to your credits.
- Designed Portfolio: Your professional design portfolio from your past employment as a designer shows your skills, creativity, and expertise. It demonstrates your ability to apply design principles effectively. You will submit a designed PDF of the work you have created as a full-time designer. The portfolio submitted should be between 5 and 15 separate projects. (5 professional pieces can equate to 3 credits, so if you have 15 professional pieces in your portfolio, they will equate to nine credits.)
- Resume Review: Please submit your resume so faculty can review your professional experience. Your resume should have contact information for your past or current supervisor.
- Employment Verification: To verify your past employment, we collaborate with employers to confirm your professional experience.
- Credit Range:
- Based on the evaluation of your prior learning, you can earn between 3 to 9 credits for your past employment, portfolio, resume review, and employment verification.
