Credit Transfer Policy for Bachelor'sDegreesThe Office of Admission, in conjunction with faculty,evaluates courses submitted for transfer credit accordingto several factors. These include the previous school'saccreditation, the content, level, and age of thecourse, and whether the credits are appropriate to anIndiana University Southeast degree program. Onlycourses in which a grade of C or higher is earned willtransfer. Transfer credit may count toward meeting therequirements for a degree, but it will not count towardthe IU Southeast grade point average. The Office ofAdmission makes an initial determination regarding thetransferability and equivalency of courses submitted fortransfer. Individual schools and departments at IndianaUniversity Southeast determine how transferred creditswill apply toward degree requirements.

Candidates for a bachelor's degree must earn at least 26additional credit hours in residence to graduate with anIndiana University degree.

Course equivalencies are maintained in transfer guides,program articulations, historical data, Indiana's CoreTransfer Library and u.select. IU Southeast also works toensure students are made aware of how their credits willtransfer by advising students at the community collegelevel or pre-transfer level on a regular basis.

Veterans may earn college credit for educationalexperiences in the armed services. A certified DD Form295 and/or DD Form 214, and/or transcripts from theArmy/American Council on Education Registry TranscriptServices (AARTS) or Sailor/Marine American Council onEducation (SMART) transcript should be submitted withthe application materials for consideration.

Credits earned while in high school (dual credit) will beevaluated in the same manner as transfer credit. Studentsare required to disclose that they have taken such courseson their application and are required to submit officialtranscripts of all work to the admissions office.

Transfer Single Articulation Pathway (TSAP)

In 2013 the Indiana legislature enacted Senate EnrolledAct 182, which among other things, set the mandatethat each state-supported pubic educational institution,in collaboration with the Indiana Commission for HigherEducation, work together to create and implement asingle articulation pathway. These pathways, brandedTSAPs across all of Indiana, are a formal partnershipbetween the state's public 2-year and 4-year collegesand universities to give Indiana students opportunityto achieve a Bachelor's degree in the most time andcost efficient manner possible. The TSAP agreementsprovide guarantees to students graduating from IvyTech Community College or Vincennes Universitywith their associate's degrees; that they can completetheir bachelor's degree in the same discipline within 60additional credits or 4 semesters of fulltime, successfulenrollment.

Per the statute, the degree programs prioritized forTSAP development must be those in which significantnumbers of students first obtain an associate ofscience or an associate of arts degree with the intentof obtaining a related baccalaureate degree. For moreinformation regarding qulaifying programs visit the Officeof Admissions TSAP website.

Purpose and PhilosophyThe purpose of an IU Southeast undergraduate educationis to prepare students to act as thoughtful, informed, andproductive citizens and lifelong learners in the contextof a complex and rapidly changing society. We believethat the best education is one that provides not onlyspecific knowledge and skills but also intellectual breadth.Such an education enables students to develop into well-rounded human beings who can provide the leadershiptheir communities need in an era of rapid change. Weembrace the notion of a set of common goals for anundergraduate education at IU Southeast and recognizethat the means of attaining those goals will vary amongdegree programs. The coherence of an IU Southeasteducation lies more in the pursuit of common goals than inthe completion of common courses. The pursuit of thesegoals is a shared responsibility of faculty and students.Courses in the major contribute to general education andthose in general education contribute to the major. Thusall faculty members foster both the breadth and the depthof the education of all students in their courses.

Common GoalsThese are primarily the goals of general education.

1. To develop essential skills, including:

• Written and oral communication skills• Quantitative reasoning• Reasoning about moral and ethical questions and

diversity• Critical Thinking• Information literacy

2. To understand humanity and the world through thecentral ideas, issues, and methods of inquiry found in thearts and humanities, the natural and physical sciences,and the social and behavioral sciences.

These are primarily the goals of the major:

1. To acquire a depth of knowledge in a specified area ofstudy.

2. Within the context of a specified area of study, toreason, to think both critically and creatively, and to solveproblems.

The faculty have approved specific learning outcomes foreach of the general education goals. These outcomes canbe found at https://www.ius.edu/general-education/.
