Requirements for Graduation

Pre-Approval for Transfer Coursework

Students enrolled at IUP who wish to take coursework at another institution (either during the summer or regular semesters) must complete an Application for Coursework Outside IUP prior to taking the course(s). Only the credits from the course(s) transfer, not the grade; therefore, students cannot use outside coursework for IUP's repeat policy. Only the credits for which students receive the grade of A, B, or C will transfer. If P/F is the only grading option available, there must be a narrative evaluation from the faculty member certifying that the work was of C level or better. No more than 60 semester hours total may be earned at a junior or community college for application toward an IUP degree. If the courses are being taken within the student's last thirty credits, the courses must be taken at IUP unless the student's residency requirement for awarding of degrees is waived by the college dean. Courses without prior approval are taken at the risk of the student; there is no obligation on the part of any officer of this university to accept or transfer such credit.

Forms for approval of off-campus coursework are available in the Office of Transfer Credit Evaluation/Admissions Office. Full directions on the form outline the steps involving the transfer evaluation, student's advisor, and college dean, or designee. After completing off-campus coursework, students should have the institution at which the work was taken send a final official transcript directly to Transfer Evaluation Services, 216 Pratt Drive, IUP, Indiana, PA 15705. Copies of transcripts issued to or hand carried by students will not be accepted.
