General Guidelines for Credit Transfer
Indiana State University accepts credit from many regionally accredited institutions.
The following are general guidelines for credit transfer. Upon admission, academic advisors review transcripts to determine which credit transfers and which courses will be included in your program of study.
- Credit earned from regionally accredited colleges or universities is transferable.
- Technical skills courses in an A.A.S. program may not transfer; however, any credit earned in general education, liberal arts, or liberal studies may be transferable.
- Transfer credit is assigned only for courses in which you have earned a grade of C or higher.
- The College of Business cannot accept Ivy Tech State College credit earned prior to 1993.
- Generally, an equivalent number of credit hours are given.
- In some cases, credit may be transferable to the University, but may not be applied toward completion of the accounting minor.
- Remedial, audited, or non-credit classes do not transfer.
- College living, orientation, and study skills classes do not transfer.
- At least 50 percent of the accounting credit hours required for the accounting minor should be taken at Indiana State University.
