Project Summary: 

In accordance with Senate Bill 233, the other public post-secondary institutions are establishing a common course numbering system for introductory and lower-level courses with similar learning outcomes.

This project will increase the ability for transfer students to earn OSU credit from their prior coursework, require less work on the student side, and decrease the time spent taking additional coursework they may have already earned credit for elsewhere. Common course numbering will also allow students to transfer their OSU courses elsewhere when it is no longer possible for them to finish their careers at OSU.
