Transfers

From IUPUI Schools, Indiana University Campuses, or Purdue University Campuses

Students wishing to transfer from these schools must have a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.0 on a 4.0 scale and be in good academic and disciplinary standing. The required minimum cumulative grade point average may be higher in some programs. Students must follow the procedures listed below. After reviewing the transfer request and supporting materials, the school will inform students in writing of the acceptance or rejection of the application.

IUPUI students or students in the IU system wishing to transfer into the School of Engineering and Technology must apply directly to their intended department. Transfers from the School of Engineering and Technology to another IUPUI school must be processed by the transfer school's recorder.
A Purdue University student from another campus must complete an official undergraduate application through the IUPUI Office of Admissions.
If a student seeking admission to the School of Engineering and Technology previously has been dismissed for academic reasons, he or she must file a petition for readmission that will be reviewed by the Committee on Readmissions. The petition may be obtained from the New Student Academic Advising Center, School of Engineering and Technology, 723 W. Michigan Street, Room 174, Indianapolis, IN 46202.

From Other Colleges and Universities

Applicants transferring from colleges and universities other than Indiana University or Purdue University must fulfill the following requirements:

An IUPUI application for undergraduate admission and a copy of high school records must be submitted to the Office of Admissions.
An official transcript of all course work done, from all institutions previously attended, also must be forwarded to the Office of Admissions.
For admission to an engineering or technology program, residents of Indiana must have a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.0 on a 4.0 scale, and out-of-state applicants must have an average of at least 2.5, for all courses previously taken at a recognized college or university. Transfer credits are evaluated by the Office of Admissions and distributed by the Office for Academic Programs in coordination with the department in which the student enrolls.
There is a residency requirement to receive a degree: transfer students must complete a program of study that includes at least 32 credit hours for a bachelor’s degree and at least 15 credit hours for an associate degree in the School of Engineering and Technology. For the associate degree, at least 6 out of the 15 credits are expected to be in the major. For the bachelor’s degree, at least 12 out of the 32 credits are expected to be in the major at the junior level or higher.
Individual academic programs may require that transfer students complete specific courses prior to admission with advanced standing.
Transfer students must be in good academic and disciplinary standing at the college(s) previously attended. Students who have been dismissed for academic reasons by another college or university, or who have less than a 2.0 grade point average, must file a petition for readmission that will be reviewed by the committee on readmissions. The petition form may be obtained from the New Student Academic Advising Center, 723 W. Michigan Street, Room 174, Indianapolis, IN 46202.

Transfer students may receive credit in the School of Engineering and Technology for successfully completed course work of equivalent amount and character from another accredited college. However, if a student changes to a different course of study in the process of transferring from another college or university, credits for certain courses may not be applicable toward requirements in the new curriculum.

Transfer credit is not granted for work done at institutions that are not fully approved by a regional accrediting association of secondary schools and colleges. In addition to regional association approval, certain programs may require accreditation by professional organizations and/or societies before credit will be considered for transfer. Credit will not be transferred from any institution whose regional accreditation designation is A/V (Associate/Vocational-Technical).

The only exception is when agreements exist that specify courses or blocks of credit that will transfer into specific Purdue University degree programs.
Graduates of unaccredited institutions, proprietary institutions, or institutions accredited only as occupational training institutions are encouraged to review their academic plans carefully before seeking advanced credit. All prospective transfer students are encouraged to write or visit the school for further information about their opportunities.
