Academic Regulations
Transfer Credit
For general limits on credit transfer, see 14. Degrees.
To transfer credits to IPFW, you must request that every college or university you have attended send an official transcript of your work to IPFW Admissions. IPFW accepts credits only from academic programs at institutions accredited by regional accrediting associations and only for courses in which you earned grades of C– or better. Specific IPFW degree programs may impose additional criteria. Grades do not transfer.
Changing between IPFW Programs
To change from one IPFW academic program to another, you must complete the appropriate forms and secure the approval of the IPFW school/division offering the program to which you want to change. If the change affects your university affiliation (IU or Purdue), the registrar will notify Admissions, which will transfer all of your previously earned IPFW credits to the records system of your new university.
If you are a re-entering student who has not enrolled at IPFW during the previous 12 months, or if you are returning to IPFW after having attended another institution, you must specify your intended academic program on the appropriate re-entry or transfer-admission form. You must then submit this completed form to Admissions for evaluation.
Credit Transfer between IPFW Programs
When you change from one IPFW degree or certificate program to another, the school/division to which you are transferring will report to the registrar the status of every course you have taken. Each course you have completed, regardless of the grade you earned, will be classified into one of the following two categories:
- courses that are required for, or applicable to, your new program or which are substantially equivalent to, and are acceptable as, substitutes for such required courses.
- courses that are not applicable to your new program.
Grades you have earned in any courses that can satisfy a degree requirement, other than a “free elective,” may not be deleted from the calculation of your graduation GPA.
