Application Proceedure (Internal Applicants)
Students may apply for a transfer from another Ohio State academic unit or program by completing the Request for Transfer of Academic Unit, available from the Graduate School. Students must ask their current graduate unit to forward a copy of the original application materials submitted to their original unit along with information concerning the student’s performance while enrolled in the Graduate School at The Ohio State University. The latter should include a copy of the student’s most recent advisor’s report (Ohio State courses taken and grades received). Three new letters of recommendation from faculty familiar with the student’s performance and an evaluation of potential to succeed in doctoral research are required. If the Ph.D is primarily a continuation of research from a master’s program in the same laboratory, one letter of support, including financial support, from the student’s advisor, along with signatures of two other committee members who are in concurrence, will be sufficient. If the GSC approves a transfer, it will also specify which completed courses will be credited towards the graduate degree in the OSUN program.
