Transfers within Indiana University
If you have previously earned credit from any academic program on any Indiana University campus, you may apply to pursue a general studies degree. Credits are evaluated on a course-by-course basis. (To find out how to apply previously earned Indiana University credit to a general studies degree, see Credits Earned at Indiana University. If you have academic deficiencies (a cumulative GPA below 2.0), you may be admitted on probation.

If you have been dismissed from another academic unit of Indiana University and have a cumulative GPA below 2.0, we will not consider you for admission for at least one calendar year from the date of your dismissal. If you are in dismissal status, you may enroll in Independent Study Program undergraduate courses as a nondegree student.

You must complete at least 30 semester hours of credit by taking upper-division courses at Indiana University or through the Indiana University Independent Study Program. For more information about degree requirements, go to http://scs.indiana.edu/undergraddegrees/degrequirements.html.

Transfers from Other Colleges and Universities (New Students)
We welcome students who want to transfer from other regionally accredited colleges or universities.

If you are a transfer student, we evaluate your application for transfer admission based on your cumulative GPA and the number of credits you have earned in all subjects. Indiana University, following review of the IUPUI Office of Admissions, awards transfer credit only for courses in which you have earned a minimum grade of C in curricula similar to those Indiana University offers.

Indiana University, following review of the IUPUI Office of Admissions, determines whether credit from other institutions will be accepted, and the School of Continuing Studies determines whether and how the credit applies toward degree requirements. Only grades you have earned at Indiana University are calculated in your cumulative GPA.

If you have been dismissed from other post secondary institutions, we will not consider you for admission to the General Studies Degree Program for one calendar year from the date of your dismissal. If you are in dismissal status, you may enroll in Independent Study Program undergraduate courses as a nondegree student.

Transfers from Other Colleges and Universities (Current Students)
If you are currently a student in the General Studies Degree Program and want to take courses from another regionally accredited college or university, you must fill out and submit a Transfer Course Approval Request (PDF 60KB) before enrolling in courses at the other college or university.

Indiana University, following review of the IUPUI Office of Admissions, determines whether the credit you would earn in such courses will be accepted, and the School of Continuing Studies determines whether and how the credit will apply toward degree requirements.

Transfers from Community Colleges
Starting in the fall 2008 semester, students admitted to the General Studies Degree program may not apply more than 64 credits from a community college toward the requirements for the Bachelor of General Studies.
