Admissions and Registration

Residency requirements for awarding of degrees

The university requires that at least 45 semester hours, generally including the last 30 semester hours in a student's curriculum, must be earned by enrollment in courses at IUP; 15 of these semester hours must be in the student's major. It should also be noted that for community college graduates a maximum of 60 credit hours are transferable to this institution for the purpose of fulfilling a specific program of study. Excess semester hours, if any, may be transferred but cannot be used for fulfilling the minimum requirements for the degree.

To remain in good academic standing, transfer students must meet the same GPA requirements as those specified for all other undergraduate students. See section entitled "Criteria Governing Continuance at IUP."

The university accepts semester hours associated with "D" grades only when they are part of a completed associate degree earned at a publicly owned community college in Pennsylvania. These "D" grades will be treated in the same manner as those earned at IUP. This articulation policy was adopted by the Board of State College and University Directors in 1973.
