Understanding transfer credit at Indiana Tech
We know how important it is to maximize the credits you’ve already earned. Our transfer credit evaluation process ensures you get the most out of your previous coursework to keep you on track toward your degree.

As a transfer student, you’ll work closely with your admissions representative to determine how your previously earned credits apply to your chosen program at Indiana Tech. Here’s how the process works:
- Submit All College Transcripts—Once we receive official transcripts from every college or university you’ve attended, we can begin the evaluation.

- Transfer Credit Processing—Once submitted to the registrar’s office, your transfer credit evaluation should be completed within 72 hours, and you’ll receive an email with your results from your admissions counselor.
