At Oakland University, we make the transfer process easy. Our resources ensure your hard earned credits will transfer to OU and apply to your degree. So no matter where you're going, or where you came from, OU is where your perseverance pays off — and you move one step closer to graduation. Phi Theta Kappa, the national honor society for two-year colleges, named Oakland University to its prestigious Transfer Honor Roll for 2023. The award recognizes universities that excel in providing transfer students with pathways to a four-year degree.
You’ll then meet with your academic adviser to receive your final credit evaluation, which will show how transfer credits apply to specific major requirements.
OU’s Transfer Equivalency Tool contains course equivalencies for community colleges and four-year institutions (courses must be completed with a minimum grade of C- or 2.0 on a numeric scale).
If a course has two general education categories listed, only one can be used. The only exception is if one of the categories is DIV, then both can be used.
Equivalencies are intended for reference purposes and are subject to change. The inclusion or exclusion of courses does not guarantee applicability of transfer courses to a degree program.
Students planning to take a future transfer course or requesting the re-evaluation of a course have the following options:
- If you need a course evaluated to fulfill a general education requirement, submit a General Education Transfer Course Review Form (learn how to complete the form).
- If you are seeking to fulfill a course requirement from a professional school (i.e, School of Business Administration, School of Engineering and Computer Science, School of Education and Human Services, School of Health Sciences or School of Nursing), please inquire with the appropriate academic adviser.
- For assistance with transfer equivalencies for prerequisite courses for admission into a graduate program at Oakland University, please contact the Graduate School.
- Submit a Transfer Course Review Request for all other undergraduate course evaluations.
Did you transfer to OU before you finished your associate’s degree? Reverse Transfer can help you finish.
Oakland University partners with several community colleges in an effort to increase degree completion. Reverse transfer involves reviewing credits earned at the four-year college or university to determine if you are eligible for an associate degree from the community college you attended. It allows students to increase their credentials by earning their associate's degree while pursuing a bachelor’s degree program at Oakland University.
The Associate’s Degree: A Valuable Credential
An associate’s degree is a valuable credential to employers that can make you stand out in the applicant pool. It shows you have what it takes to be successful in addition to helping you obtain job-based experience applicable to your future career and education while completing your OU degree. Because the evaluation is based on OU credit you’ve already earned, you may be able to achieve your associate’s degree with no additional cost or time commitment.
