Transfers

Transfers from other Colleges and Universities
Students who wish to transfer to IUPUI should contact the Office of Admissions.

Transfer students are first admitted to University College at IUPUI. They may then apply to the School of Journalism when they have completed the application requirements. Because transfer courses are not calculated in the cumulative grade point average for Indiana University students, transfer students must complete a minimum of one semester at Indiana University before they can be considered for admission to the school. Exceptions may be made in writing to the school.

Acceptance of credit from other institutions will be determined by the Office of Admissions, and the applicability of credit toward degree requirements in the School of Journalism will be determined by the dean. No more than 12 transfer credit hours of mass communications courses may be counted in the journalism major. Only credits earned at Indiana University will count toward a student's grade point average. Courses from other colleges and universities transfer as credit only.

Good Standing
Students are considered to be candidates in good standing for an Indiana University baccalaureate degree when they have been regularly admitted by the Office of Admissions; when their academic grade point average is not less than a 2.00 (C) for the last semester's work; and when their cumulative grade point average is at least 2.00 (C).

Students' eligibility to continue as journalism majors is subject to a periodic review of their progress toward a degree.
