Credit Transfer
Once you've been admitted to Case and we've received your final transcript and course descriptions, the Office of Undergraduate Studies will evaluate your transfer credits. You will be required to take your final 60 semester hours, usually two years as a full time student, at Case. (One quarter-hour is equivalent to two-thirds of a semester hour.) We will award credit for courses taken elsewhere if they are:
equivalent to courses offered by Case
completed with a grade of C or better
from an accredited two-year or four-year college, university, or technical institute
Credit Transfer from Cleveland Area Community Colleges
If you are applying for transfer admission from a Cleveland Area Community College, we have prepared course transfer guides to help you make a smooth move.

English Competency: If you have completed a course comparable to ENGL 150 (Expository Writing), you will need to pass an exam to establish competency. If you do not pass the test, you must complete ENGL 180 (Writing Tutorial) with a grade of C or higher.
Foreign Languages: We do not grant credit for foreign language courses that repeat the course you completed in high school. To receive credit for the first semester of a foreign language, you must complete a minimum of two semesters of study in that language at your current school or Case. You will not receive credit for one semester's work.
Math: We do not grant credit for math courses that repeat the course you completed in high school.
Physical Education: We do not award credit for physical education courses. You will need to take two semesters (or their equivalent).
Nursing: Students may apply for transfer admission for any term (fall, spring or summer). Students transferring into the second year of the bachelor of science in nursing program must be able to transfer a minimum of twenty credit hours, including equivalents to the following Case courses:

Advanced Placement and Credit
Typically credit is awarded for scores of 4 or 5 on AP exams. We do not award credit for CLEP or military course work. Some departments offer students the opportunity to take proficiency exams. We do not grant credit for work completed at an unaccredited institution in the United States except by proficiency examination. Learn more about advanced placement and credit online.
Credit transfer for work done at institutions outside the United States is subject to departmental evaluation and to the recommendations of the National Council on the Evaluation of Foreign Credentials.
Financial Aid
Case is committed to making the university affordable to all academically qualified students. We encourage all students to apply for need-based financial aid (loans, work study and grants). To apply, you must submit the following:
Free Application for Federal Student Aid: Submit by May 15 for fall admission or by September 30 for spring admission. (Aid is not available for the summer session and is limited for spring enrollment.)
Signed copies of your parents' and your most recent federal income tax returns: Send directly to the Case Office of Financial Aid.
Case Application for Financial Assistance: Submit to the Case Office of Financial Aid along with a financial aid transcript from each college you have attended even if you did not receive aid there.
In addition, Case offers two merit scholarships to fall community college transfers.
Housing
Campus housing is available to all undergraduates, including transfer students. You will be able to request housing when you confirm enrollment. Housing is guaranteed for two years. Students must live on campus unless they have over 60 credit hours or will be commuting from home. Learn more about Case campus housing.
