Your Degree Audit is the key to your success at Ohio State. It outlines the courses you have taken previously, are taking currently, and will need to take to graduate. For instructions on how to run a degree audit, click your learning preference: written or video.
When running your degree audit, you may have “G” or “General Credits” which look like “ENGLISH G000.10”. These classes may only count towards degree requirements if/when they are further evaluated by the corresponding Ohio State department.
