As a permanent intercampus transfer applicant, you must meet the same admission standards as applicants transferring from schools outside the IU system. The admission standards depend on how many transferable credit hours you’ve earned at your current IU campus and any other colleges you’ve attended. These are the minimum requirements for transferring to IU Fort Wayne; most admitted students exceed these standards.

If you have at least 26 transferable credit hours:

If you have completed at least 26 transferable credit hours at another college or university, you must have a cumulative GPA of at least 2.0 on a 4.0 scale and be eligible to return to your previous college in order to transfer to IU Fort Wayne. If you don’t meet these standards, you must sit out for one semester (not including summer sessions) before you can transfer to IU Fort Wayne.

If you have fewer than 26 transferable credit hours:

If you’ve completed fewer than 26 transferable credit hours at another college or university, the admission standards you must meet depend on whether you would have qualified for admission to IU Fort Wayne as an incoming freshman.

• If you would not have qualified for admission as an incoming freshman, you must complete 26 transferable credit hours of coursework with a cumulative GPA of at least 2.0 at your current college before you can transfer to IU Fort Wayne. (The 26 transferable credit hours cannot include any dual-credit courses or college courses completed while you were in high school.) You must also complete any remedial coursework required by your current college.
• If you would have qualified for admission as an incoming freshman, you must have a cumulative GPA of at least 2.0 on a 4.0 scale and be eligible to return to your previous college in order to transfer to IU Fort Wayne. If you don’t meet these standards, you must sit out for one semester (not including summer sessions) before you can transfer to IU Fort Wayne.

Coursework completed at another IU campus is already on your IU academic record and is not considered transfer credit.

If you have earned transferable credit hours at any colleges or universities outside the IU system, you must submit an official transcript from each school you’ve attended. As part of the application process, the Office of Undergraduate Admissions will review coursework you’ve completed at other colleges or universities and determine what transfer credits can be awarded.

To apply for a permanent intercampus transfer, you must complete the undergraduate admissions application. We strongly recommend that you complete the application online. As an intercampus transfer student, you do NOT have to pay an application fee when you submit your application.

If you ever attended a college or university outside the IU system, you must provide an official copy of your transcript from that school. This includes:

• Any college or university at which you were enrolled but did not complete any classes
• Any dual-credit courses or college courses completed while you were in high school

Your first step in the application process is to complete the undergraduate admissions application. We strongly recommend that you apply online so we can process your application faster. If you choose to apply online, you will use your IU username and passphrase to log in to the application system.

If you ever attended any colleges or universities outside the IU system, you must request an official copy of your transcript from each school you attended. This includes:

• Any college or university at which you were enrolled but did not complete any classes
• Any dual-credit courses or college courses completed while you were in high school

Requesting transcripts

You must contact each school and ask for your official transcript to be sent directly to IU Fort Wayne. Transcripts should be mailed to:

Electronic transcripts

IU Fort Wayne can accept official transcripts that are sent electronically from colleges and universities. However, we do not accept emailed PDFs of transcripts; your transcript must be electronically generated from an official system. Electronic transcripts can be sent to fwcredit@iu.edu. If your school will be sending limited-time credentials that allow us to access their system, be sure to make your request during regular business hours.

Sign in to One.IU with your username and passphrase. Search for “email management,” select that task, and create your IU Fort Wayne email address.

Go to “application status” in One.IU and select “start.” Log in using your username and passphrase (not your guest account information) to see the status of your application.

You can use our application update form to:
