In respect to transfer credits from a foreign institution, Ivy Tech will look at an evaluation of those courses done by an external evaluation agency/transfer if appropriate.

The College reserves the right to refuse admission or to accept conditionally those students who have been dismissed for disciplinary reasons from other colleges or universities.

Transfer of Credit
Ivy Tech has articulation agreements, under which students may transfer individual courses or entire programs of study to a number of public and private institutions. A student, depending on his or her goals, may choose to transfer to another college or university and pursue a bachelor's degree after completion of a series of courses or completion of a two-year degree program at Ivy Tech. Some of these agreements are college wide and some pertain to specific campuses of Ivy Tech.

The selection of an institution for transfer should be an individual decision based upon the extent to which credits will transfer, compatibility of degree programs, location, availability of programming, philosophy, and cost of attending the transfer school. Opportunities are available to Ivy Tech students to transfer and complete a baccalaureate program as a resident or commuting student. In addition, opportunities are available to pursue a bachelor's degree using distance technologies, which will allow a student to complete a degree program within the home community, even at an Ivy Tech campus.

Ivy Tech is also a member of the ABELINC project, a collaborative partnership involving selected two-year colleges across the country and Governors State University (GSU), a state university in Illinois. The ABELINC project, through its Board of Governors Bachelor of Arts degree program, serves adults who are mobile, work full-time, live in areas under-served by four-year institutions, and/or find it difficult to complete their baccalaureate programs through traditional, campus-based programs. Students may take up to 80 credit hours at Ivy Tech that will apply toward the 120 credit hours required for the B.A. Students may complete the entire Bachelor of Arts program in their home community.
