Courses that do not transfer to Youngstown State University will not show up as results in the system.
If the results sometimes not showing up, try variations with equivalencies as schools list credits differently such as ACC 101, ACC101, ACC-101, 01-ACC 101, etc
1XX = 100-level elective, 2XX = 200-level elective, 3XX = 300-level elective
If no equivalencies exist for a course or you feel a course needs updating, please let the registrar’s office or a transfer counselor know so we can get the review process started
