Ohio Northern welcomes transfer students from junior colleges, community colleges and other regionally-accredited institutions to pursue majors in the undergraduate colleges. Transcripts from each post-secondary institution previously attended, as well as a final high-school transcript, must be sent directly from each institution to Ohio Northern. For information specific to transferring into the Raabe College of Pharmacy, please also visit pharmacy transfer students.

Transfer students in good standing academically and socially from regionally-accredited colleges and universities may be admitted with advance standing. Credits to be transferred must be graded a C (2.00) or higher and must apply toward the course of study the student intends to pursue. Concealment of previous attendance at a college or university is cause for cancellation of admission and registration.

Students who have completed an Associate of Arts or equivalent degree from a regionally-accredited institution and who have an accumulative grade point average of at least 2.00 normally will be able to complete work toward graduation from the Getty College of Arts & Sciences with a Bachelor of Arts in two academic years if courses in the first two years of work conform to the usual pattern in their chosen major field. The student will assume a normal quarterly course load of 15 to 19 academic quarter hours. If a student wishes to obtain teacher certification, it is possible that one or more additional academic quarters of study will be required.
