Courses from regionally accredited post-secondary institutions will normally transfer to Iowa State if they are comparable to courses offered for academic credit here or would earn academic credit if they were offered.
Some departments may require at least a "C" grade for a specific course to be applied to the degree program.
It is important to note that grades from other institutions will not factor into your GPA at Iowa State; however, accepted credits will be added to your overall totals. Only the class title and credits earned will appear on the official Iowa State transcript. Transfer credit grades will not be displayed.
The University will honor coursework/semesters reprieved/forgiven by another college or university, and as such, will not process these as part of the transfer credit evaluation.
Transcripts for courses taken at other universities/colleges should be sent to:
Office of Admissions
100 Enrollment Services Center
2433 Union Drive
Ames, IA 50011-2011
If you are having a PDF version of the transcript sent, please use the following email address: etranscript@iastate.edu. PDF transcripts must be sent directly from the university/college to this email address. Transcripts not sent directly from the school will not be accepted.
