TRANSFER FROM EGCC!!
Begin your journey at EGCC and Finish Anywhere! That’s right. Eastern Gateway Community College is your partner in transfer. Opportunities to transfer courses into four-year degree programs exist at Eastern Gateway Community College in several ways:
- Articulation Agreements
- Equivalency Guides
- Ohio Transfer Module
- Transfer Assurance Guide
A student interested in transfer should immediately contact his/her advisor so that early planning ensures success in the transfer process.
Students may also transfer credits into EGCC. The college accepts courses from accredited institutions that are equivalent to courses offered at EGCC. (See Transfer Credit under Registration for more specific information on transferring credits into EGCC.)
The Ohio Board of Regents, following the directive of the Ohio General Assembly, has developed statewide directives to facilitate transfer from one Ohio public college or university to another. Private colleges and universities in Ohio may or may not participate in transfer directives, so students should always check with the institution of their choice regarding transfer requirements. Colleges in other states are also not obliged to follow Ohio directives. Note that agreements between EGCC and private colleges and universities and between EGCC and colleges and universities in the area also exist, and also note that most colleges in the United States do accept general education credits and sometimes credits in the major field from students transferring into their institution. Again it is important that students plan transfer carefully and work with both EGCC and the institution to which the student is transferring.
Once students are admitted to a transfer institution, they are subject to the same rights, privileges and degree requirements as native students at that institution. Students are subject to the residency requirements of that institution.
STUDENT REPONSIBILITIES FOR SUCCESSFUL TRANSFER
In order to facilitate transfer with maximum applicability of transfer credit, prospective transfer students should plan a course of study that will meet the requirements of a degree program at the receiving institution. Students should use the Ohio Transfer Module, Transfer Assurance Guides, and Transferology for guidance in planning the transfer process. Specifically, students should identify early in their collegiate studies an institution and major to which they desire to transfer.
Furthermore, students should determine if there are language requirements or any special course requirements that can be met during the freshman or sophomore year. This will enable students to plan and pursue a course of study that will articulate with the receiving institution’s major. Students are encouraged to seek further information regarding transfer from both their advisor and the college or university to which they plan to transfer.
OHIO TRANSFER ARTICULATION GUARANTEE (TAG) COURSES
TRANSFER ASSURANCE GUIDE COURSES (TAGS)
The Transfer Assurance Guides include the Ohio Transfer Module, both required and elective courses, and then moves beyond those courses into additional hours in pre- major and major courses. Courses in TAGs are guaranteed to transfer and apply directly to a student’s major. In its totality, the TAGs become a guaranteed pathway for students and are a very powerful advising tool for faculty and other advisors. There are 48 TAGs in 12 specific discipline areas presently involving 4,000 approved matches. The TAGs are developed, approved, and monitored by Ohio’s public institutions for higher education. Students must keep in mind that this guarantee only applies to Ohio public universities, although many private institutions in Ohio follow the same directives. Students should make sure to work with advisors at both institutions.
Following is the list of EGCC TAG approved courses. Always check with the transferring institution before making decisions. Students may check the EGCC approved Ohio Transfer Module courses listed under Transfer Module in this section.

TRANSFER OPPORTUNITIES
TRANSFEROLOGY
Transferology is a web based tool used to see how courses taken at one institution transfer and apply toward a degree at another institution. All Ohio two-year and four-year public colleges and universities use Transferology. Create a free account by visiting www.transferology.com. Once a student becomes a member of Transferology (free), he/she can:
- view course information and programs at other institutions
- check course equivalencies between institutions as determined by the receiving institution
- research degree requirements at the institution of your choice
- discover how the courses you have already taken apply toward a degree at another institution
- store your coursework so that the system can analyze your program and let you know what courses you need for the institutions with which you are working
- send additional questions regarding transfer to a college or university
Military veterans, your training, experience and coursework may translate into college credit at EGCC. To gain college credit, your coursework and experience to be recognized by the American Council on Education (ACE) or a regional accrediting body such as the Higher Learning Commission (HLC). You can check Transferology to see which institutions will grant credit for your military training:
Step 1: Log into your Transferology™ account, then click on the Military Credits tab under the Courses heading
Step 2: Choose the appropriate Year that you served
Step 3: Choose the branch of the U.S. Armed Force for which you have served
Step 4: If desired, you may select a Pay Grade
Step 5: Select the desired Course(s) by clicking on the green “+” sign under the Hours column. Be sure to select all the courses that apply to you.
Step 6: On the right of the page, click on the button “Find schools that accept my coursework” to begin the matching process to find a school near you.
ARTICULATION AGREEMENTS
Types of Articulated Agreements:
Course-to-Course: A course-to-course articulation matches the EGCC course to a specific course at the four-year institution. The four-year institution has reviewed EGCC’s courses to match them to their course equivalents.
Institutional: An institutional agreement provides graduates with a specific EGCC degree, usually the Associate of Arts and/or Associate of Science Degrees, with junior status upon successful enrollment at the four-year institution.
Programmatic: A programmatic agreement provides graduates with a specific EGCC degree an opportunity for seamless transfer into a specific degree pathway at the four-year institution.
