Purdue University Transfer Students

Before you complete any forms, consult the information for transfer students page to make sure we are accepting applications for the term you wish enter. After designated dates, it is too late to use any of these forms.

This information is for Purdue students who wish to transfer to IUPUI and earn their degree from Indianapolis. If you wish to enroll at IUPUI just for the summer or one semester, but earn your degree from Purdue-West Lafayette or another campus consult our information for non-degree students.

  1. Research our schools for your program of choice. If you are undecided about your major, select Undecided or Exploratory. Do NOT select General Studies, unless you are interested in the School of Continuing Studies, which offers a 2-year and a 4-year degree in General Studies. For more information about the General Studies Degree programs, click here.

  2. Meet the Admission Requirements for Transfer Students from Purdue University.

  3. We have access to your Purdue transcript, If you attended other colleges either before or after enrolling at Purdue, you must provide official transcripts from those colleges. (Although we have access to Purdue transcripts, we often transfer courses differently than the Purdue campus.) Remember grade reports, FAX copies and photocopies are not official.

  4. You must apply through the International Affairs website if the last two years of your studies have been outside of the United States or you have attended school in the United States on a student visa or another type of temporary visa.

  5. If you have applied to IUPUI within the past 18 months or you have enrolled in classes at IUPUI, DO NOT APPLY ONLINE. Instead, update your application electronically.

  6. If #5 does not apply to you, complete the online application. You are applying as a transfer student and you are either seeking an associate's degree (2-year degree), a bachelor's degree (4-year degree), or a certificate (one-year program).

  7. Please note that submission of an online application requires payment of the application fee using a credit card at the time of submission. This fee is non-refundable. For Purdue students, there is a $7 fee if you apply on-line. If you do not wish to apply on-line or use a credit card, you may print the application and mail it to us. Purdue students who file a paper application are not charged a fee.

  8. All applicants must read the Criminal Activity Disclosure policy before applying on-line. Click here to read the policy.
