How to Transfer Your Credits

We know how serious you are about staying on track and making your existing credits count when you decide to transfer. So, we’ll work with you to apply the credits you’ve already earned to your IUP education.

Use our credit evaluation tool to easily find any classes that will transfer, but don’t hesitate to reach out directly so we can help you continue to move forward.

At IUP, we’ll do our best to ensure that completing your bachelor’s degree is as affordable as possible. Every full-time transfer student is automatically considered for an IUP Transfer Scholarship, which ranges from $2,500 to $4,000 based on your GPA and the number of credits earned when you apply. That’s in addition to our affordable tuition, which has not increased for four years.
