Appendix C

Students entering institutions that had approved TM's in the Fall, 1991, were the first students for whom certification was required. Sending institutions that were able to certify other students who had entered their colleges earlier also were strongly encouraged to do so.

Yes

Students with an earned A.A./A.S. degree, an overall GPA of 2.0 or better, and a passing grade (A, B, C, or D) in each course included in the TM, will have met the requirements of the TM of the receiving institution.

Students without an A.A. /A.S. degree who have completed the TM with grades of D or better in each course (as certified by the sending institution) will be considered to have met the TM requirements of the receiving institution.

Students who have an earned A.A./A.S. degree with an overall GPA of 2.0 or better for all previous college level courses will receive transfer credit for all college level courses which they have passed (A, B, C, or D). (See Appendix D.)

According to the Ohio Articulation and Transfer Policy, a grade of D or better is required for the additional courses taken above and beyond those required for the A.A. or A.S. degree. (See Appendix D.)

Yes. The certifying institution should allow all accepted credit from regionally accredited institutions to be used to satisfy TM requirements.

Yes. If the certifying institution grants nontraditional credit, or if it accepts it for transfer students, and if its equivalent is found in the TM, then it may be used to satisfy TM requirements.

Yes. In all cases credit must be awarded by the receiving institution toward a course which is equivalent in content at the receiving institution. Even if there are no equivalent courses at the receiving institution, transfer credit must be awarded. This credit must be entered on the student record and it must apply to degree requirements, at least, toward free electives.

No

Yes

The sending institution must make this determination on the basis of three institution standards:

1. the course is not remedial or developmental;
2. the course carries one or more credit hours; and
3. the course hours are eligible to count toward graduation at the sending institution.

Yes. The policies of the sending institution will determine the "forgiveness" policy in effect and the computation of the GPA.

Institutions can require students to repeat a course only if it is for a specific major or minor degree program and it is also required of native students.

No. The transfer student may be treated in like manner to the native student. As always, the receiving institution may be more lenient and utilize courses with grades of D toward such requirements, but this is not required by the Ohio Articulation and Transfer Policy. Although the courses graded D may, in this case, not be applicable to the major field or field of concentration requirements, they must be transferred and they must be given credit, at least, as free electives. Furthermore, if the courses were part of the sending institution's Transfer Module, credit must be given as part of the receiving institution's Transfer Module.

No. This decision is a separate consideration and the same requirements that apply to native students also apply to transfer students.

In accordance with the schedule established by the council, changes in an institution's TM must be submitted for approval by the Faculty Subcommittee, the Articulation and Transfer Council, and the Chancellor of the Ohio Board of Regents.

Each institution's policy regarding the "catalog year" principle for degree requirement changes will also apply to TM requirement changes. Generally, changes will be applicable to new students entering the institution after the changes have been published, but students enrolled prior to that time will follow an earlier TM version.

None has been specified. Most institutions have their own requirements regarding the time limit for the use of credits in fulfillment of degree requirements, and it is expected that the same requirements will apply to the completion of the TM.
