Admission with Advanced Standing

Qualified applicants who have not previously attended another college or university may obtain specific information by writing the:

Transfers

Students wishing to transfer from these schools should have a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.0 on a 4.0 scale and be in good academic and disciplinary standing. Students must follow the procedures listed below. After reviewing the transfer request and supporting materials, the school will inform students in writing of the acceptance or rejection of the application.

1. IUPUI students or students in the IU system wishing to transfer into the School of Engineering and Technology must apply directly to their intended department. Transfers out of the School of Engineering and Technology must be processed by the school Recorder.

2. A Purdue University student from another campus must complete an official undergraduate application through the IUPUI Office of Admissions.

3. If a student seeking admission to the School of Engineering and Technology has previously been dismissed for academic reasons, he or she must file a petition for readmission that will be reviewed by the Committee on Readmissions. The petition may be obtained from the: Office for Academic Programs
   School of Engineering and Technology
   Room 215
   799 W. Michigan Street
   Indianapolis, IN 46202.

Applicants transferring from colleges and universities other than Indiana University or Purdue University must fulfill the following requirements:

1. An IUPUI application for undergraduate admission and a copy of high school records must be submitted to the Office of Admissions.

2. An official transcript of all course work done from all institutions previously attended must also be forwarded to the Office of Admissions.

3. For admission to an engineering or technology program, residents of Indiana must have a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.0 on a 4.0 scale, and out-of-state applicants must have an average of at least 2.5, for all courses previously taken at a recognized college or university. Transfer credits are evaluated by the Office of Admissions and distributed by the Office for Academic Programs in coordination with the department in which the student enrolls.

4. Residency requirement to receive a degree: Transfer students must complete a program of study that includes at least 32 credit hours for a bachelor’s degree and at least 15 credit hours for an associate degree in the School of Engineering and Technology. For the associate degree, at least 6 out of the 15 credits are expected to be in the major. For the bachelor’s degree, at least 12 out of the 32 credits are expected to be in the major at the junior level or higher.

5. Individual academic programs may require that transfer students complete specific courses prior to admission with advanced standing.

6. Transfer students must be in good academic and disciplinary standing at the college(s) previously attended. Students who have been dismissed for academic reasons by another college or university, or who have less than a 2.0 grade point average, must file a petition for readmission that will be reviewed by the Committee on Readmissions. The petition form may be obtained from the Office for Academic Programs, ET 215.

Transfer credit is not granted for work done at institutions that are not fully approved by a regional accrediting association of secondary schools and colleges. In addition to regional association approval, certain programs may require accreditation by professional organizations and/or societies before credit will be considered for transfer. Credit will not be transferred from any institution whose regional accreditation designation is A/V (Associate/ Vocational-Technical). The only exception is when agreements exist that specify courses or blocks of credit that will transfer into specific Purdue University degree programs.

Graduates of unaccredited institutions, proprietary institutions, or institutions accredited only as occupational training institutions are encouraged to review their academic plans carefully before seeking advanced credit. All prospective transfer students are encouraged to write or visit the school for further information about their opportunities.

To Other Indiana University Campuses

Holders of bachelor’s degrees who have additional academic objectives are generally encouraged to pursue appropriate graduate degree programs. Bachelor’s degree holders may, however, obtain special permission to enroll in programs at either the associate or bachelor’s degree level in the School of Engineering and Technology. Candidates must fulfill all academic requirements for the additional major field of study. Applicants for a second degree must complete a program of study that includes at least 32 credit hours for a bachelor’s degree and at least 15 credit hours for an associate degree in the School of Engineering and Technology. For the associate degree, at least 6 out of the 15 credits are expected to be in the major. For the bachelor’s degree, at least 12 credit hours must be in the major at the junior level or higher.

Graduates of the School of Engineering and Technology are permitted to pursue a second degree program.

Requirements for an Additional Major Field (Technology Programs Only)

Holders of Purdue University A.S. or B.S. degrees, whether from IUPUI or another campus, may enroll in technology courses typically taken by students completing degrees in a different major field. Upon successful completion of the requirements for the additional program, students will receive a notation on their transcripts that they have completed the equivalent of an additional major field of study.

1. If the degree programs are in different schools, the student must apply to each school for the appropriate degree. In the School of Engineering and Technology, the student must apply for the degree the semester prior to the semester in which he or she expects to complete the degree requirements.

2. If the degree programs are both in the School of Engineering and Technology and lead to different degrees, the appropriate degrees shall be awarded.

3. In technology programs, students in all fields of study receive the same degree, an A.S. or a B.S. Therefore, a student who completes multiple fields of study will receive only one degree; the transcript will reflect the multiple fields of study.

Special Credit

International student applicants must also furnish sufficient evidence of adequate financial support for the entire period of their schooling. International applicants should submit all credentials at least six months prior to the semester in which they want to enroll. Inquiries should be directed to the:
