Campus Change from Mansfield to Columbus
Students wanting to take courses at the Columbus Campus must meet the following requirements:
- Attain an overall Ohio State GPA of 2.0
- Complete 30 post-high school credit hours (AP and CCP courses taken as part of the high school curriculum do not count)
- Live on campus if less than two years out of high school
NOTE: Meeting the Campus Change Eligibility Criteria listed above allows students to take classes on the Columbus Campus. Each College sets their own parameters for the specific courses students are eligible to take based on a student’s major and if the student has been formally accepted into that major (if required).
