Transferring Students
Transferring from one college to another can be challenging. Idaho State University strives to provide a seamless transition as you pursue your educational goals.
New Transfer Students
Definition
A transfer student is a student who has been enrolled and received grades at any college or university prior to being admitted to Idaho State University. Students who fit this definition but who have fewer than 14 transferable semester hours (credits) are subject to the admission requirements for New Freshmen shown above.
Application Steps For Transfer Students
- Apply for Admission-the form is online at http://www.isu.edu/howtoapply.shtml.
- Pay $40 Nonrefundable Application Fee.
- Submit a final, official transcript from each college previously attended-transcripts must be sent directly from the previous institutions Records Office to the Idaho State University Admissions Office.
- If applying in mid-semester while attending elsewhere, submit an in-progress college transcript indicating grades earned through the most recent completed semester.
Failure to list and submit transcripts from all schools attended, or submission of inaccurate information, is considered fraud and is cause for refusal of admission or dismissal from Idaho State University.
All required documentation must be received prior to registration.
Assured Admission requires:
- A completed Undergraduate Admission Application with the $40 nonrefundable application fee paid.
- 2.0 or better cumulative grade-point average.
- A final, official transcript from each college attended sent directly from the previous institutions Records Office to the Idaho State University Admissions Office.
Students with less than a 2.0 cumulative transfer GPA for previous college work are required to submit a petition to the Admission Committee (see Admission by Petition in the most current Academic Catalog available online at http://www.isu.edu/catalogs.shtml)
Transfer Credit Evaluation
Transfer credits will not be evaluated until all credits earned or attempted and all grades received in college-level courses from regionally accredited institutions are evaluated for possible transfer credit to Idaho State University. The applicability of these credits to the student's program of study is determined by their major department. Transfer credits from non-U.S. colleges or universities which are college level and have received a passing grade are recorded with grades of Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory.
A transfer GPA is not calculated for the ISU record.
