Transferring Your Credits

IWU’s Transfer of Credits Policy was designed so you can transfer as many course credits as possible toward earning your bachelor's degree. To determine which course credits will transfer, we consider the institution’s Accreditation and the Course Requirements.

Courses must meet the following criteria in order for the credits to transfer:

  • You earned a grade of “C-” or better
  • The course number is 100 or higher
  • The course is not remedial, pre-college, or developmental
  • The course does not duplicate a course in IWU’s major core

Courses must be taken at a college or university that is accredited by an accrediting agency recognized by both the U.S. Department of Education (ED) and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA).

Online Transfer Student FAQs

Generally speaking, courses must be from properly-accredited institutions and meet the following criteria in order for the credits to transfer:

  • You earned a grade of "C-" or better
  • The course number is 100 or higher
  • The course is not remedial, pre-college, or developmental
  • The course does not duplicate a course in IWU's major core

The enrollment process is simple. Enrollment counselors are available to personally assist you each step of the way.

Here is an abbreviated list of the steps most students will take:

  1. Complete an online application.
  2. Have official transcripts sent to us from all colleges where you have earned any college credits.
    • A transcript will only be considered official if it is mailed by the school's registrar directly to IWU in a sealed envelope. You may not deliver them.
  3. Submit a copy of your TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) scores if English is not your primary language.
    • Once the above steps are completed, IWU will evaluate your transcripts and officially accept you into a B.S. completion program.
  4. Determine your payment plan. Our Financial Aid staff can help you determine whether you are eligible for state and federal grants, loans, scholarships, veteran's benefits, and other options. If your employer is reimbursing you, you may have your payment due date postponed until after each course in complete. If you choose to self-pay, you must pay for each course before it starts.

Once your payment plan has been established, you are ready to start taking classes!

Yes. IWU has a generous transfer of credit policy. Each program has different restrictions and requirements regarding transfer credit; contact a enrollment counselor to obtain the most accurate and up-to-date information.

Review the credit transfer policies on the IWU Catalog for the most up-to-date credit transfer information.

Yes. For undergraduate students, we provide the opportunity to obtain credit for prior learning and experience. The process involves careful documentation in the form of a portfolio (a collection of evidence) of prior training and experiences that demonstrates their legitimate equivalency to specific college-level coursework.

Up to 40 credit hours of portfolio credit can be documented in this manner for most programs.
