How to Apply as a Transfer

1. Determine Your Status

You may apply as a transfer student if you attended another college or university after completing high school or your equivalency credential.

You are required to disclose and submit all records of college-level coursework attempted or completed. Upon review, Indiana State University will determine what academic credits will transfer toward a degree or program upon enrollment.

2. Apply for Transfer Admission

  • Fill out the Indiana State University online application.
  • The transfer application is for undergraduate applicants who wish to transfer to Indiana State from a previous institution. If you wish to apply as an incoming freshman student, a graduate student, or an international student, please visit this page.
  • You will need to pay a nonrefundable $25.00 application fee to apply. The fee is payable by Visa, Mastercard, or Discover credit card. You may also send a check or money order payable to Indiana State University (include your Social Security number or student ID).

We accept transfer applications throughout the year. Priority deadlines are:

  • Fall semester: June 1
  • Spring semester: December 1
  • Summer session: May 1

Note: Applications received after these deadlines will still be accepted, and we will attempt to have you enroll in your desired semester or term.

Transfer applicants must maintain a cumulative grade-point average of 2.0 or higher on a 4.0 scale.
