Transferring Credit

When official transcripts are received, they will be forwarded to the admissions office for evaluation. Within a few weeks the applicant should receive official notice of admission and a credit transfer report indicating which courses are accepted at Indiana University (generally those in which the applicant earned grades of C or better from accredited institutions). The Division of Labor Studies office will then prepare a summary of how these courses apply to labor studies certificate and degree requirements.

At this point, if not before, students should proceed to plan their programs in consultation with their advisors and to enroll in courses. Students should check with the Division of Labor Studies office on the campus where they plan to enroll for schedules and directions.

Correspondence participants should contact the Bloomington office for advising and should use the booklet titled Independent Study University Courses.
