Sixty is standard. This is how I wound up graduating with 157 hours for my undergrad (with 287 lifetime)

As stated, 60 is fairly common. That can vary quite a bit, though. It seems like my undergrad university was approximately 40.

Not bloody likely. Not with Harvard's grade inflation. If someone undistinguished lasts for 4 years without getting expelled in years 1-3, they'll just graduate him Nulla Cum Laude.

At my school, they had a rule where if you were within I think 30 hours of graduating then you couldn't transfer anymore credits. Because of this, I had to CLEP test out of some BS subjects instead of taking community college for elective credits.

I think sixty is standard at state schools. If you need to know precisely, ask the institution instead of an Internet forum. It takes a whole phone call.

Still .. not sure why the second school would have an issue though. They get an additional Alum without having to educate them. This is assuming the student is qualified to graduate.

Ohio State is an accredited University. You talk pretty mighty for someone from Canada.

I wasn't the one who started the Ohio State vs Harvard comparison.

My college was # of major credits + 20 additional credits (1 course = 1 credit). So, for example, a math major requires 13 major courses, so he would need to complete 33 credits in total to graduate. If a major required 15 credits, he'd need 35 courses to graduate.

I transferred 64 credit hours.

I earned an associates degree from a Jr. college and then transferred to a local university. Where they end up F'ing you is the required number of hours that must have been taken at that university in order to graduate with honors.

My school required half your credits, and your entire last year, to be completed there.
