As an intercampus transfer student, you will be admitted into the
University Division or into your chosen major in one of our 13
undergraduate schools or the College of Arts and Sciences. One key factor
in determining where you will be placed is how many hours of transferable
college course work you have completed:
If you have completed fewer than 26 semester hours (or 39 quarter
hours), you will automatically be placed into the University
Division, where you will receive personalized advising to help you
choose your program of study at IU.
If you have completed more than 26 semester hours (or 39 quarter
hours), you will most likely be admitted directly into your chosen major,
although there are some exceptions.
Most intercampus transfer students who are admitted to IU begin their
course work in the University Division. The University Division evaluates
all intercampus transfer applications and, in most cases, notifies the
student directly of the admission decision. There are two exceptions:
If the University Division determines that you are eligible for
admission directly into your chosen degree-granting school, your
application will be forwarded to that school for consideration and review.
You will be notified that your application has been forwarded and receive
your admission decision directly from the degree-granting school.
In some cases, when a student’s eligibility for admission will be
based on high school course work, the application will be forwarded to
IU's Office of Admissions for consideration and review. These students are
notified that their application has been forwarded to Admissions, but will
still receive their admission decision notification from the University
Division.
