Intercampus Transfer Applicants

Before Apply for intercampus transfer to IU Bloomington

A holistic review of your high school and college work will be made to determine eligibility for admission. 

Generally, a transfer student who earned a 3.0 cumulative high school grade point average and met the high school curriculum requirements (admission standards) set by faculty could be considered for transfer admission after only one semester of college level work after high school.

In order for this section to apply, you must have 12 hours of IU academic credit completed by the time of application.

  • A cumulative IU GPA of 2.5 is required for admission.
  • However, if you have completed at least 26 hours of IU academic credit, you may be admitted with a cumulative IU GPA of 2.3.
  • You must maintain a cumulative IU GPA of at least 2.3 until you begin classes at IU Bloomington, or your admission may be revoked.

IU academic credit for intercampus transfer applications must be completed at an IU campus by the time of application, and excludes courses that do not count toward an IU Bloomington degree, such as English or math classes considered pre-college level. Other specific exclusions are physical education electives and learning-skills courses such as freshman seminars.

Before you apply, make sure you spend some time exploring our different schools and 200+ majors.

When you fill out your application, you’ll be asked to choose an intended major.

If you don’t know what you want to major in, that’s okay! IU students who have not yet chosen a major are considered exploratory students. Indiana University promotes academic exploration and encourages students to spend time discovering the path that’s right for them. Exploratory students are supported by Advising & Major Exploration Services, where they receive expert advising to help them find their ideal major and fulfill the general requirements needed to certify into a degree-granting school or college.

There are a few ways you could start your academic journey at IU, including direct admission. Direct admission at IU refers to admission to specific academic programs and degree-granting schools. Some programs only allow standard admission for transfer applicants. Learn more about direct admission and other ways to start at IU.

No matter which path you take when you start at IU, you will have academic and career advising at every step of your journey to help you reach your goals.

If you took courses at another IU campus, you will work with your academic advisor to learn how your credits will apply to your IU Bloomington degree.

IU awards AP and college credit that can help you get a head start on your degree program.
