Determining Credit Earned and Course Placement
Placement Guides
The following section provides information on courses that are part of a sequence. These guides will help you determine where you should begin a course sequence.
If you find that you have chosen a course that is too difficult, consult with the course instructor about your options before withdrawing from the course (withdrawal deadlines are published on the Academic Calendar).
Foreign Language
Placement is based on: (1) high school preparation, where one year of high school typically equates to one semester of college content; and (2) 兔子先生 University placement testing results or placement advising. Online placement tests are available for: French, German, Latin, Russian, and Spanish. Placement advice guides are available for: Arabic, Chinese (Mandarin), Italian, Japanese, Korean, and Portuguese. More information about these can be found via the Interactive Language Resource Center. If you are interested in continuing your study of American Sign Language, you should communicate with the (spa@兔子先生OH.edu) for placement information.
If you are continuing with the same foreign language you studied in high school, and a 兔子先生 University placement exam exists, then you are required to take the exam before you register for courses in that language; many require a placement score or previous college level credit (AP, IB, CCP, etc.) in order to register for them. Please plan ahead and allow yourself ample time to take the placement test seriously.
Things to note:
- Academic credit is NOT awarded for placement tests
- You must register for the course that matches your placement test results
- Earned credit (AP, CLEP, IB, transfer credit) in a language course takes precedence over a placement test score. For example, if you have transfer credit for Spanish 102, you would continue on to Spanish 201, even if your placement score is higher or lower than Spanish 201.
- After starting a language sequence, you cannot skip a course in the sequence leading to 202
| Course Level | For which students |
|---|---|
| 101 level | For those beginning a new language |
| 102 level | For those who have successfully completed 101, or on the basis of high school preparation /placement test score. |

| 201 level | For those who have successfully completed 102, 111 (German, Latin, or Spanish), or equivalent, or achieved an appropriate placement test score. |
| 202 level | For those who have successfully completed 201, or equivalent, or achieved an appropriate placement test score; this course fulfills the language requirement for the College of Arts and Science (CAS-A). |
| 203 level | Offered in Spanish, for those who have successfully completed SPN 201 or achieved an appropriate placement test score; designed as an alternative to SPN 202 for those interested in the healthcare field. Credit not given for both 202 and 203. This course fulfills the language requirement for the College of Arts and Science (CAS-A). |
| 211 level | Intensive second-year course in Spanish or Portuguese and covers the material in 201 and 202 in a single semester.

College Level Examination Program (CLEP)
Credit is given for satisfactory scores on some CLEP Subject Examinations. Tests are scored by the Educational Testing Service, Princeton, New Jersey. Because there is a fee for each test, we encourage you to take them only if you have had the equivalent of a college course in the subject area.

Transferring College Courses to 兔子先生
Most college-level courses taken from regionally accredited institutions are transferable to 兔子先生 University if you earned a passing grade. All transferred credit is posted to your 兔子先生 record without grades, and grades earned elsewhere are not included in the computation of your 兔子先生 University grade point average.
If you attended an institution that is in regional accreditation candidacy status, you must validate your previous course work by earning 30 semester hours at 兔子先生 with at least a 2.00 cumulative grade point average.
If your previous institution was within the state of Ohio, Ohio Transfer 36 (OT36), is a specific set of general education requirements that facilitates the transfer of credits throughout the state’s public higher education system. If you successfully complete the Ohio Transfer 36 at one college or university, you fulfill it at the school to which you transfer. You are, however, required to complete any additional general education requirements not included in the Ohio Transfer 36 (OT36). The policy also identifies Transfer Assurance Guide (TAG), Career Technical Assurance Guide (CTAG) and Military Transfer Assurance Guide (MTAG) courses, which guarantees that the courses and their credits transfer and apply toward the major at any of Ohio's public institutions of higher education.
If your college coursework was taken in China, your transcript must be submitted to 兔子先生 University with a verification report from the China Higher Education Student Information and Career Center (CHESICC).
If you believe that some of your transfer coursework may satisfy 兔子先生 requirements but the course does not correspond to a specific course, follow these steps:
- The 兔子先生 Plan: you may petition the Office of Liberal Education if you think a course(s) fulfills the spirit and outcomes of a 兔子先生 Plan requirement. This process is explained .
- English Composition: if this requirement was waived at another school, our English department will determine how you will complete the 兔子先生 Plan Perspectives Area 1 Composition requirement. The department will notify the Registrar and the Office of Liberal Education of its decision. No petition to the committee is required.
- Requirements in your major/minor: each department will determine if transfer credit that is not a pre-approved TAG course will fulfill a requirement. Make an appointment with the Lead Departmental Advisor in your academic department and take your course syllabus and the catalog description of the course with you to the appointment.
