The following policy has been established by the School of Visual
Communication as a means of selecting the best-qualified students for the
program. The academic quality of the curriculum depends in part on
maintaining enrollment at a number that may be effectively served by our
faculty and our facilities. The school is dedicated to top-quality
instruction, and this policy is one means to maintain that goal.
The School of Visual Communication will consider transfer students twice a
year, and only when openings are available. A very limited number of
openings usually occur in each major sequence each academic year.
Please call the school to determine the status of transfer openings.
Students transferring with over 90 hours of credit will find it difficult to
complete the school's curriculum in two years.
Here are the procedures:
If you are transferring from another institution, you must be accepted by
Ohio University first.
You must have a 3.0 or higher GPA at the time of transfer.
Attend a transfer information session held at 10AM on the 4th Friday of each
quarter.
If there are openings in the sequence you are seeking, then come for an
interview on the morning of the 8th Friday of the fall or winter quarter.
Bring a current copy of your DARS or transcript, a resume, three letters of
recommendation, a statement of intent letter, and a portfolio.
Successful applicants will be enrolled conditionally, and then have two
consecutive quarters to complete VICO 120 or VICO 140, and JOUR 133 with a
grade of C or better before final admission.
Transfer sequence requirements for students inside the School of Visual
Communication:
Students with 45 to 90 earned credit hours may apply to transfer sequences
within the school after meeting with their adviser and making a written
request to the school's faculty. Faculty approval and available openings in
the requested major sequence are required before students will be allowed to
transfer sequences.
Students with over 90 earned hours must meet the same transfer requirements
as non-VisCom majors.
