Ohio University-Russ College Petition for Transient Course Approval

Must be completed and approved prior to taking the course(s)

Information and Instructions

This form is for all Russ College students who wish to attend another institution as a transient student and transfer course work to Ohio University. Most institutions have a transient student application that requires Ohio University approval, or that will require a letter of permission and good standing. If the institution requires an application form, please complete the form and attach it to this petition. The Russ College Office of Student Services will sign the application form or write a letter of permission and good standing and forward it to the other institution.

Please fill out the following information completely. File your petition at the Russ College Office of Student Services, Stocker Center 231, Athens, OH 45701.

Important Note:Courses taken at another institution cannot replace grades previously earned at Ohio University and will not affect your grade point average (GPA) at Ohio University. Courses transferred will count for credit, meet requirement(s) for graduation and/or major program, if applicable, once you have an official transcript sent from the other institution to the Office of Admissions, Ohio University, 120 Chubb Hall, Athens, OH 45701. If the institution is outside Ohio or private, the grade earned must be a C- or better.
