In general, credit is given for academic courses in which you have earned a grade of “C” or higher from regionally accredited colleges or universities. The degree program you choose to pursue will affect the number of credits that are applied toward our core curriculum, major requirements, and electives. The maximum number of transfer credits allowed towards an associate degree is 49, and 94 towards a bachelor’s degree. Transcripts from all previously attended postsecondary institutions are required before transfer credit is reviewed. Courses completed at unaccredited institutions or programs will be reviewed on an individual basis.

Transfer credit results are displayed via a Degree Requirement Report, or degree audit, and available for viewing through the Degree Audit Portlet on your my.IndianaTech.edu admissions account once you have applied and been accepted to the university.

We are committed to making your Indiana Tech education affordable by offering financial aid assistance through the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) as well as scholarships. Transfer students are eligible to receive an Achievement Award ranging from $3,000-$6,000 based on the cumulative GPA from the last college of attendance. You can calculate your Achievement Award and estimated financial aid offer using our online Net Price Calculator for Transfer Students.

Athletic scholarships are awarded once eligibility is determined by the Registrar’s Office. Many factors are taken into consideration, so please contact the transfer counselor with specific questions.

All student athletes participating in a NAIA sanctioned sport must create a student athlete profile with the NAIA Eligibility Center and submit all official ACT or SAT test scores, final official high school and college transcripts directly to NAIA for final determination of eligibility.

Campus visits are conducted Monday through Friday at 10:00 am and 1:00 pm EST. To schedule an individual campus visit or attend a Transfer Tuesday event please go to IndianaTech.edu/Visit

1. Who qualifies as a transfer student?
   Any student who enrolled in a college course after high school graduation or obtaining a GED, regardless of the length of time enrolled, is considered a transfer student and must submit college transcript(s) for acceptance.

2. Can I submit unofficial transcripts?
   Unofficial transcripts will be accepted to complete a transfer credit evaluation and for a conditional acceptance decision. However, you will be required to submit all final official transcripts to complete your admissions folder.

3. What is the difference between an official and unofficial transcript?
   A transcript is considered official when it is sent from the high school or college in a sealed envelope containing the institution’s official seal or signature. A transcript is considered unofficial if it lacks the institutions official seal or signature, if it is printed directly from your online student account, or if it is not received in a sealed envelope.

4. Will all of my credits transfer? Do you have transfer equivalencies?
   Classes in which you have earned a grade of “C” or higher can transfer in as elective hours or as required credit hours if we have a class equivalency and that class is required for your major. Different majors require different classes, so not all of your classes are guaranteed to transfer in. If the class equivalency isn’t required for your major, classes can transfer in as elective hours as long as there are enough free electives in your major. Some majors do not offer any free electives. You can find the curriculum for all of our majors in the Big Orange Book.

5. What type of financial aid and scholarships can I receive?
   Transfer students with a GPA of 2.0 or higher are eligible to receive an academic scholarship ranging from $3,000-$6,000 per year. We use your FAFSA to determine additional aid that you may qualify for including: Federal or State grants, grants or additional scholarships from Indiana Tech, and Federal Stafford or Perkins Loans. Student athletes deemed eligible by our Registrar’s Office or NAIA may receive an athletic scholarship as determined by the coach. Students who choose not to submit a FAFSA will only receive an academic scholarship.

6. What are the requirements for acceptance?
   Our minimum requirement for acceptance is a cumulative GPA of 2.0. Some of the engineering and computer sciences degrees have higher GPA requirements of 2.7 or 3.0, as well as completion of certain math courses. For transfers, acceptance is based on the cumulative GPA from the last institution attended.

7. What are CLEP/Dantes exams?
   These are exams that any student can sign up to take, for a fee, to test out of a class without taking the class. Most colleges will administer the test online, but you must contact your Registrar’s Office. For information on Indiana Tech exam equivalencies and testing please visit the Registrar’s page.

8. When and how can I register for classes?
   To register for classes at Indiana Tech, you must have already completed your final semester or quarter at your previous institution. Your final transcript must be submitted for a final credit evaluation before you can register for classes.

To access the current schedule of fees, please visit the Financial Aid page. You can also use our Net Price Calculator to estimate your cost of attendance, academic scholarship, and financial aid offer.

14. How do I get my textbooks?
    One of the great things about Indiana Tech is that the cost of your textbooks has been figured into the tuition cost. To pick up your textbooks visit the bookroom in the Warrior Fieldhouse, sign the rental agreement indicating you will return your textbooks at the end of the semester, and show your student ID. As long as you have already registered for classes, your books will be ready to pick up 1-2 days before class starts each semester.

15. What is the clearing process?
    For new students, the clearing process consists of ensuring that all of your admissions materials have been submitted, you are registered for classes, have completed all of your ‘To-Do List’ items with your financial aid offer, and have reviewed your billing statement, and submitted the necessary documents. We have created a Clearing Page to help you navigate those steps.

16. Do I have to take placement exams?
    If you are bringing in math or English credit from your previous institution you are not required to take any placement exams. If you are not transferring in math credit you can choose to take our COMPASS exam to determine placement, or choose to forego testing and opt to take our basic math class of MA 1000. If you are not bringing in English credit we use your SAT or ACT test scores to determine your English class. If test scores are not available you may have to take an English or reading test to determine placement.

17. When should I file the FAFSA?
    You should submit your FAFSA online at www.fafsa.ed.gov as soon as possible after the first of the year, every year. The deadline for Indiana residents to submit their FAFSA is March 10. Failure to submit the FAFSA by the March 10th deadline will exclude any Indiana resident from qualifying for In-state aid. Any mistakes or incomplete information on your FAFSA needs to be corrected by May 16. Feel free to visit our Financial Aid page for additional information.

18. What is Indiana Tech's code?
    Our school code is 001805, and must be included in your FAFSA to receive a financial aid offer.
