COTC TRANSFER AND ARTICULATION GUIDES (TAGS)

 

What is a TAG?

Transfer and Articulation Guides (TAGS) are transfer and articulation requirements mandated by Ohio House Bill 95 that build upon the Transfer Ohio Transfer Module.  TAGS are pre-identified General Education and major (technical) courses that be taken at and transferred across all public higher education institutions in Ohio.  Courses identified as qualifying as a TAG course must meet 70 percent or more of standardized learning outcomes as developed by Faculty Panels and approved by the Articulation and Transfer Advisory Council, under the direction of the Ohio Board of Regents.  TAGS were implemented across the state of Ohio in the Autumn Quarter 2005.

What is the Objective of TAGS?

The objective of the Transfer and Articulation Assurance Guides is to

  • allow students to transfer, in a simple and direct manner, a core of courses that will count toward the major program;
  • to provide more precise student advising and guarantee the application of credits within the TAG to the major; and 
  • to promote equitable treatment between transfer students and students who begin and end study at the same institution with regard to institutional or major/program admissions requirements.

How do TAGS work?

Each public higher education institution in Ohio, beginning in late Summer, 2005, submitted to the Ohio Board of Regents courses for approval as meeting a TAG course  (listing of COTC identified TAG courses follows).  Pending the approval of the Ohio Board of Regents of these requested courses, a COTC student (who has received COTC credit for a TAG approved course) can expect the following to occur when transferring to another Ohio public higher education institution

IF

  • the institution also has a course which has received approval for the identical TAG course number

THEN

  • the student will receive automatic transfer credit for the approved TAG course at the new institution.
