DeVry University is institutionally accredited by the Higher Learning Commission. Institutional accreditation evaluates the university as a whole; it is distinct from accreditation of an individual engineering, business or other professional program.
Institutional accreditation is an important condition for participation in federal student aid programs, but students must also meet aid eligibility rules. It does not guarantee that another college will accept transferred credits or that a degree meets a licensing board's requirements. Anyone considering a regulated occupation should check the applicable program's current accreditation and the rules of the state where they plan to work.
Degree-seeking applicants to DeVry University-Ohio generally need to submit an application and evidence of high school completion or an equivalent credential, such as a GED. The institution reports requiring a secondary-school record and GPA information; admission is not classified as open admission.
SAT and ACT scores may be considered but are not required in the reported admissions criteria. Class rank, recommendations and completion of a college-preparatory program are not listed as requirements. English-language test results may be considered for applicants to whom they apply, and a particular program or applicant category may have additional steps. Applicants should use the current admissions instructions for their intended credential rather than assume the same documentation applies to first-time, transfer and graduate students.
The reported acceptance rate was 100%, but it came from just nine first-time, degree-seeking applicants. Such a small group makes the percentage a poor guide to an individual applicant's prospects.
DeVry University-Ohio's reported application fee is $30. Because application charges can change and may differ by applicant type or application route, applicants should check the amount shown in the current application before submitting payment.
Applicants seeking a fee waiver should ask admissions whether one applies to their circumstances and whether it must be approved before submission. An application fee is separate from tuition, required academic fees and any later enrollment charge.
No Army, Air Force or Navy ROTC unit is established as operating at DeVry University-Ohio. A student interested in ROTC should not assume that enrolling in a Columbus-area college provides access to a host university's unit.
Cross-enrollment, if available, requires approval under the host program's rules and may involve travel, scheduling requirements and eligibility checks. ROTC scholarships and eventual service obligations also depend on the branch and the student's agreement. Applicants should confirm participation directly with the relevant host ROTC program before building it into an enrollment plan.
DeVry University-Ohio generally accepts eligible credits from other accredited institutions and permits transfer students to begin in fall, winter, spring or summer. Admission as a transfer student and acceptance of particular credits are separate decisions.
Transfer applicants should expect to provide official records of prior college work and to follow any additional admissions instructions that apply to their credential. DeVry also reports accepting Advanced Placement credit, CLEP examinations, DSST/DANTES examinations, applicable American Council on Education recommendations and some credit for prior learning. None of those routes means every examination, course or experience will fulfill a specific degree requirement.
Before committing, ask for an official evaluation showing which credits transfer, which satisfy requirements in the intended program and how many credits must still be earned through DeVry. This is especially important for students changing majors or transferring technical coursework.
Students should not assume that DeVry University-Ohio offers a semester-long exchange or a Columbus-based study-abroad program. No specific study-abroad arrangement is established for this institution.
A student considering an external international program would need advance written approval to determine whether its courses could count toward a DeVry credential. Financial aid treatment, academic calendars and any required in-person coursework would also need to be resolved before departure; approval for travel is not the same as approval for degree credit.
