A GED certificate is received by students when they've passed the examination. The successful completion, that is, a score of 269 or better, on the GED examination is considered the equivalent of high school completion. The GED examination is offered through the Adult Education Program in Ottawa. The Admissions Office or the Financial Aid Office has additional information available upon request. Ottawa University is concerned that no student be penalized in the process of transferring.
Course work is transferred as if it had been taken at Ottawa.
Credit is given for all passing grades. Credit will not, however, be transferred for participation in varsity sports, remedial or developmental courses, nor courses that were not earned toward a degree. Course work at a college in the process of receiving accreditation will be accepted on the advice of the major college or university in that particular state. The GPA for course work at the unaccredited institution is not transferable. Graduates of accredited junior or community colleges with Associate of Arts or Associate of Science degrees may enter Ottawa with junior standing.
