Transfers from Other Undergraduate Schools on the IUB Campus
Students transferring to the School of Informatics and Computing at IUB from other undergraduate schools of the university—such as the College of Arts and Sciences, the schools of Education, Public and Environmental Affairs, Music, or the Kelley School of Business—must have completed at least 26 credit hours of course work that can count toward a degree in the School of Informatics and Computing, with a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.0 (C). Students also must complete the English composition requirement with a minimum grade of C before entering the School of Informatics and Computing. Students pursuing a B.S. degree in Informatics (INFOBS) must also complete MATH-M 118 and INFO-I 101 with a minimum grade of C before being admitted.Transfers from Other Indiana University Campuses

Transfer Credit Rules
Credits transferred are generally evaluated according to the following rules:- Courses taken at other institutions in which the student earned a grade below C do not transfer.
- Courses taken at other institutions on a quarter system instead of a semester system will be evaluated as carrying fewer credit hours (for example, a 3 credit hour course taken on a quarter system will transfer as 2.5 credits).
- Courses taken at other institutions for which there is an equivalent IU course (in terms of course description, level, and prerequisites) generally will be evaluated as credit in the equivalent IU courses.
- Courses taken at other institutions for which there is no equivalent IU course (in terms of course description, level, and prerequisites) generally will be evaluated as “undistributed” credit (marked UNDI on the IU transcript). Undistributed credits may count toward the student’s degree requirements, but the school through which the course is offered determines if the course may be equivalent to a certain distribution or requirement. Please see your advisor for further information.
