How to apply as a transfer student
Transferring to IU Kokomo is simple. Just follow the steps on this page.
If you meet the two standards below, you are eligible to transfer to IU Kokomo:
- 12 or more college-level credit hours
- 2.0 cumulative grade point average or better
If you were dismissed during the last semester at your previous institution or are not in good standing, you may be required to sit out one semester and then submit a Petition for Admission.
If you do not meet the above criteria, you may be eligible for conditional admission. Please contact us for more details.
A robust listing of courses by College and University name which have established rules for transfer equivalency. We have gone to great lengths to directly match as many courses as possible. If you do not see a course or your institution listed, you may provide your academic advisor with your syllabus and course information after you are admitted and we will review the course for potential direct credit.
Only classes taken at an accredited institution that correspond to ones in our curriculum (in content and credit value) will transfer.
You can find out which of your courses will qualify for transfer credit before you apply by using our automated Credit Transfer Service. You can look up your institution by name, then search for your courses by department and number.

How the transfer credit process works
After you are admitted to IU Kokomo we will evaluate your transcripts to see which courses will translate into credit here.
Once the evaluation is complete, you can view your Credit Transfer Report (CTR) through One.IU. Please be advised, CTRs may take up to four weeks to process during peak times throughout the year.
Acceptance of course credits from other higher education institutions is not automatic. Criteria considered include institution accreditation, course contact hours and content, and course grade.
You should also note:
- Only courses with a grade of "C" or better will be considered for transfer credit.
- Courses in which you received a C- or lower are listed on your CTR as nontransferable coursework.
- The maximum number of credit hours allowed from a community or junior college is 64 hours unless otherwise approved in an articulation agreement. IU Kokomo has articulation agreements with Ivy Tech Community College, Vincennes University, and Ancilla College. Visit Credit Transfer Service to see how your credits will transfer to IU Kokomo.
Transfer credit may count toward your degree at IU, but it will not count toward your GPA at IU. You will be awarded the same number of hours for which you received credit at your previous institution. If the school you attended operates on semester hours, these credits will transfer to IU as is. If the school operates on quarter hours, your transferable credits will be multiplied by two-thirds to convert them to semester hours. Credits from schools that operate on unit systems or other types of credit systems will be converted to semester hours.
Individual schools and departments at IU determine how transferred credits will apply toward your degree requirements. Courses for which IU does not have an equivalent offering can sometimes be transferred as undistributed (UNDI) credits. The decision as to how UNDI credits will fit into your degree program will be made by the school or division in which you will pursue your degree.
Veterans may earn college credit for educational experiences in the armed services. Submit your certified DD Form 295 and/or DD Form 214, and/or transcript from the Army/American Council on Education Registry Transcript System (AARTS) with your application. Any additional, relevant military transcripts should also accompany your application.
Step 1: Apply by filling out the easy-to-use online application or downloading the printed application.
Step 2: Submit your official documentation. Please send the following documents to the Office of Admissions:
- Official copy of all college transcripts
- Official copy of high school transcript or GED test results
Step 3: Wait to hear from us. Applications are reviewed daily! Once the Office of Admissions has received all required information, you will be notified of a written decision.
