Only coursework earned at a regionally accredited institution will transfer. Transfer credit may count toward your degree at IU, but it will not count toward your GPA at IU. Individual schools and departments at IU determine how transferred credits will apply toward your degree requirements. Courses for which IU does not have an equivalent offering can sometimes be transferred as undistributed credits. An academic advisor will be able to explain how undistributed credits may count toward a degree. Veterans may earn college credit for educational experiences in the armed services.
