Credit Transfer

Transferability of Units and Degrees Earned to our University
Credits earned in other programs will be transferred, provided that they represent:

Credits earned at similar or complementary programs. No more than 30 credits (or equivalent) or a maximum of 50% of the total number of credits required to complete the IUC program.
Credits that have been granted by an institution that is recognized.

IUC accepts academic credits earned from accredited/approved academic institutions when the course content is deemed equivalent to our own. The number of transfer credits granted for each course depends on the other college’s definition of its credit system. Credits from a school that also operates on a semester credit system transfer one-to-one. Credits from schools on a quarter credit system will transfer in a ratio of 2/3 semester credit for each quarter credit on a course-by-course basis, rounded to the nearest whole credit. For example, a course for which the student earned three quarter credits at another college will transfer to IUC as two semester credits; a course with four-quarter credits would transfer as three semester credits. Previously earned credit will be assessed during the admission process:

Generally speaking, applicants wishing to transfer in credits earned at institutions must have their academic transcripts evaluated and certified by a National Association of Credential Evaluation Services organization. Exceptions may be made to this rule if IUC has demand that the information provided and that the region which the transfer is made exhibits sufficient transparency that allows IUC to make its eligibility assessment on its own. Applicants transferring in a degree need to request a General Report. Applicants wishing to transfer credits toward specific courses in the IUC curricula must request a Course-by-Course report.

Students should request that the assessing organization send the evaluation and transcripts directly to IUC.

To Apply for Transfer Credits:

Pay the $100 evaluation fee.
Submit official transcripts for any and all of the transfer credits you wish to receive credit for.
Submit course descriptions for any and all appropriate courses.
