Admission of Transfer Students

All candidates for admission by transfer from another university or college must submit an application for this purpose. Students must request that the office of the registrar of the university or college of origin send a copy of their official transcript to the appropriate Admissions Office of Inter American University.

Students will be considered candidate for admission by transfer, if they:

Passed in another accredited institution at least 12 credits with a grade of C or better, except in academic programs that establish different requirements, in which case they must meet these requirements.
Meet the academic progress and the disciplinary norms of this University.
Submit an updated vaccination certificate if they are under 21 years of age.

The school accepts a maximum of 25% of transfer credits from other schools toward the program of study. Every transfer credit will be counted as an attempted credit for the maximum time frame.

All acceptable courses completed at Inter American University or elsewhere by students not regularly admitted to the University or in the Early Admission Program will be credited as soon as they have been admitted as regular students. Once students have been enrolled, no further consideration of previous credits from other institutions will be given, except for courses in progress. Every transferred course will be entered as an attempted and approved course for purposes of the satisfactory academic progress norm and the norm for repeating courses.

If students take a course that is in their academic record as a transferred course and receive a grade, the administrative action symbol T must prevail in the file. If the student obtains the grade of C or above, this will be considered to determine the general academic index and the academic index in the study program, as applicable. If the student obtains a grade of D or F, this will not be considered to determine these indices.
