You can begin a college degree at Ivy Tech Community College of Indiana — Northeast and complete it across the road at IPFW! With the new Crossroads partnership, it's easier than ever to transfer credits between these institutions, allowing you to pursue your educational goals. Through Crossroads, you have the freedom to attend the school that's right for you — when it's right for you.

To help you avoid the typical roadblocks experienced by transfer students — losing credits, time, and money — Ivy Tech and IPFW are working together to ensure that certain courses will be equivalent and transferable between both institutions. That means you can take a variety of courses at Ivy Tech then transfer the credits to IPFW. Both schools have approved associate-to-bachelor's-degree programs that allow you to earn an associate degree at Ivy Tech then complete a bachelor's degree at IPFW.

How can I use the Crossroads program?

• Take some classes at Ivy Tech (as many or as few as you want), then transfer to IPFW.
• Earn a two-year degree at Ivy Tech, then transfer to IPFW to complete a bachelor's degree.
• Take some classes at IPFW, transfer to Ivy Tech, then transfer back to complete a degree.
• Take classes at Ivy Tech and IPFW at the same time to complete a degree more quickly.

With Crossroads, you can enroll as either a part-time or full-time student-there is no time limit for completing the program. You can also count on both Ivy Tech and IPFW to smoothly transfer your registration information and student records between schools. And there's no extra fee for participating in the program. You will simply be charged the standard tuition and fees at the school where you are taking classes.
