Ohio Credit When It's Due Initiative and Transcript Release Authorization

Overview

Ohio’s “Credit When It’s Due” initiative is a process to award associate degrees to students who earned academic credits that satisfied residency requirements at an Ohio public community college / two-year institution, did not earn the associate degree, and subsequently transferred to a four-year institution.

÷ students with potential eligibility for the award of an associate degree as determined by the previous two–year institution will be contacted by ÷ email.

For that community college/two–year institution to assess whether or not you qualify for an associate degree award and to issue that associate degree to you, ÷ needs you to:

  • Affirm to ÷ that you do desire the community college / two-year institution award of the associate degree if you have earned the required academic credits for such; and
  • Provide ÷ with your signed authorization to release your official ÷ academic record transcript to that community college for an associate degree eligibility assessment.

Both items above are required for this process to initiate.
