Freshman Applicants
Ohio Residents
If you are an Ohio resident who has never attended another college
or university, you will be admissible to Ohio State ATI if you have
graduated from a chartered high school and passed (or are exempt from)
all sections of the Ninth Grade Proficiency Test.
An applicant who has satisfactorily passed the General Educational
Development (GED) tests and received an Ohio High School Equivalency
Diploma through the Department of Education is considered the equivalent
of a high school graduate.
If you are an Ohio resident who has graduated from a high school that
is not chartered by the state of Ohio, you will be considered for admission
through a competitive admission process. This process involves a review
of your high school curriculum and your performance in that coursework.
Non-Ohio Residents
If you are a non-Ohio resident freshman, you will be considered for
admission through a competitive admission process. The primary criteria
for admission will be your high school curriculum and performance in
that coursework. ACT or SAT scores must also be submitted prior to
an admission decision.
Campus Change Applicants
Ohio State students planning to change from Columbus or a regional
campus to the ATI campus should contact the Ohio State ATI Office of
Admissions for procedures and to meet with an academic advisor.The
grade point average earned in another academic unit of Ohio State will
not be included in the subsequent Ohio State ATI cumulative point-hour
ratio.
Transfer Applicants
An undergraduate transfer applicant is one who has attended a college,
university, community college, or technical school after completing
high school.
If you are a transfer applicant, you will be admissible to Ohio State
ATI if you have earned at least a 2.0 cumulative grade point average
(on a 4.0 scale) in all coursework attempted at all other colleges
attended. Transfer applicants with less than a 2.0 cumulative grade
point average may be considered for admission through a special procedure.
Contact the Ohio State ATI Office of Admissions for more information,
or download the Supplement for Admission
by Special Action.
Ohio State ATI can provide a tentative, unofficial evaluation of previous
or anticipated coursework as it pertains to Ohio State ATI. Contact
the Ohio State ATI Office of Registration for details.
An official evaluation of transfer credit will be sent to you with
your notice of admission. This evaluation will show the Ohio State
credit equivalent to those courses completed with a grade of C- or
higher at other fully accredited colleges and universities.
Continuing Education Students
If you plan to take courses but are not interested in pursuing a degree
at Ohio State ATI, you can enroll through the Office of Business Training
and Educational Services. Students who wish to take a credit course
(or courses) on a non-degree basis must be admitted to Ohio State ATI.
Students wishing to enroll in non-credit courses do not go through
a regular admission process. Contact the Ohio State ATI Office of Business
Training and Educational Services at (330) 287-7511 for details and
appropriate application materials.

Admission requirements, procedures, and deadlines for international
applicants differ from those described above. International applicants
should request an International Application Packet from the Ohio State
ATI Office of Admissions.

completed a minimum of 12 years of elementary and secondary schooling,
must have excellent grades or marks for this schooling, must have adequate
English language skills for study in the United States, and, with the
exception of immigrants, must be able to document adequate financial
