This form is for students requesting evaluation of prerequisite course work completed at schools other than The Ohio
State University. If you have attended another institution in Ohio, go to admissions.osu.edu/standards
to determine if the
required prerequisite course work has been fulfilled.
St
udents currently enrolled at Ohio State should contact their academic advisor regarding prerequisite course work. Students
with current Ohio State applications, either applying directly to a professional program or to any other degree granting
program, are not eligible to use this form.
Notes: In some instances, discussions with the student, program representatives and appropriate departments will be required before a
final determination can be made. Additionally, the student may be required to contact specific departments to discuss how prerequisite
courses can best be fulfilled. Occasionally the evaluation staff will not have the appropriate college course information needed for an
accurate evaluation. Should any of these situations pertain to your Prerequisite Evaluation, Professional Admissions will notify you.
All professional programs have a specific admissions application and application deadline. For additional information regarding these
dates and the necessary admission procedures for a professional program, go to gpadmissions.osu.edu
. In addition to completed
prerequisite courses, admission is based on the quality of the applicant’s record and other criteria unique to the individual college or
program.

List all courses in which you are currently enrolled in addition to courses you plan to complete prior to applying to the college, school
or division. Complete all sections.
Speci
al instructions for international students
International education systems differ from those in the U.S., therefore Graduate and Professional Admissions frequently needs more
than an academic record to determine course equivalency. If you have completed college-level course work in a foreign country, it
may be necessary for you to submit detailed course descriptions in effect at the time the class was taken.
Rete
ntion of prerequisite evaluation materials
Prerequisite evaluation materials are retained by Graduate and Professional Admissions for two years. If you wish to apply to the
professional program within this period and your transcripts are current, you need not resubmit transcripts. The request form and
official transcripts become the property of The Ohio State University and may not be returned to the student, forwarded to another
institution or duplicated.
For review and processing this PDF form and official, or copy of official, transcripts must be submitted.
