Transfer Policies
Please read the transfer policies carefully. Kelley School of Business stands by the information and expects students to abide by the policies.
Transfer Credits – We do not evaluate transfer credits. Transfer credits are evaluated through the Admissions Office at IUPUI. After having a transfer course evaluated at the Admissions Office contact Deb Moore to determine how the courses will apply toward your Bachelor of Science in Business degree.
- Transfer of Credit from other Colleges and Universities
- Acceptance of credit from other institutions, including Purdue University, will be determined by the IUPUI Office of Admissions. The applicability of credit toward degree requirements in the Kelley School of Business will be determined by the school. Credits in business courses at the lower-division level (100- and 200-level courses) that are accepted for transfer are usually accepted for specific course equivalency.
- Purdue Students: The Kelley School of Business will not accept classes with grades of D or F from Purdue. These courses may be counted into the degree audit until student is admitted to Kelley School of Business. This is because other schools at IUPUI use these courses toward their degree.
- Courses in upper-division business subjects (300- and 400-level courses) may be accepted for specific equivalency if the course work is taken in the junior or senior year at a four-year institution that is accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB). If the institution is not so accredited, credit in upper-division courses accepted for transfer generally will be accepted as "undistributed" credit subject to oral or written examination for equivalency.
- Upper-division business courses taken in the freshman or sophomore year at four-year institutions may be accepted as "undistributed" credit subject to oral or written examinations for specific equivalency.
- Upper-division business courses taken at two-year institutions may be accepted as "undistributed" credit which will count only as business electives. No more than 94 credit hours may be accepted for transfer from a four-year institution. Course grades from other institutions are not transferred; only credit hours earned in a course are recorded. Evaluation of credit is completed after a student is admitted to the university.
- Transfer of Credit from Junior and Community Colleges
- No more than 60 credit hours earned at junior or community colleges may be applied to an Indiana University Kelley School of Business degree.
- Transfer of Credit from Other Indiana University Campuses
- Four-year degree programs in certain concentration areas may be completed at Indiana University East, Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne, Indiana University Kokomo, Indiana University Northwest, Indiana University South Bend, Indiana University Southeast, and Indiana University-Purdue University Columbus, as well as at the Bloomington and Indianapolis campuses. Admission and degree requirements will vary among campuses.
- Students wishing to transfer to the Kelley School of Business in Indianapolis are required to meet the same admission requirements to the school as do all other students, both internal and external, at the Indianapolis campus. Students who expect to graduate from IU's Kelley School of Business in Indianapolis must complete the last 30 credit hours of the degree program at the Indianapolis campus and complete an application to the school.
- Ordinarily, such students must complete the business Integrative Core (BUS F301, BUS M301, and BUS P301) on the Bloomington or Indianapolis campus. Transfer students who have completed the three courses of the Integrative Core before starting classes on the Indianapolis campus are required to enroll in BUS X390 The Integrative Experience (1 cr.) during their first semester of admission to the Kelley School of Business. A minimum grade of C- is required in the course. This course requirement applies to all students transferring credit for BUS F301, M301, and P301 from other institutions or another Indiana University campus. Students who are unclear about this requirement should see an academic advisor in the Kelley School of Business.
