Transfer Application Requirements

Minimum GPA:

Transfer students must have a cumulative college grade point average of at least 2.0 on a 4.0 scale to be a degree seeking student. We pay particular attention to grade trends, your cumulative and most recent term grade point averages (GPA), and the breadth and depth of your previous college program. It’s also important that you have maintained good standing with your previous institution. Declining grades, grades below C in the most recent term, or a less demanding academic program are often factors that make an application less competitive and can be reasons to deny admission.
Official Transcripts:

College transcripts from each institution attended are required. A high school transcript is not required if 26 semester hours of 100 level or above work has been completed at the time of the application.
SAT Scores:

If you have completed fewer than 26 semester hours (or 39 quarter hours) of transferable college course work your SAT/ACT scores are required, unless you are 21 years old or have been our of high school three or more years.
Other Requirements:

The equivalency of courses is ultimately determined by faculty. A list of courses that will transfer among all Indiana public college and university campuses can be found at Indiana Core Transfer Library.
