Prospective students wanting to transfer MSN credits petition the Graduate Program Director (cwendelb@iu.edu) to review graduate level courses taken elsewhere for credit in the MSN track must submit the following:
- A formal, written request to the Graduate Program Director for course review. This request must list the course(s) to be reviewed, including course number, course title, number of credit hours, grade earned, and semester/year completed.
- Official transcripts for all requested courses to be reviewed.
- Syllabus for any course may be requested from the Graduate Program Director
Students must submit copies of the syllabi for each graduate course completed at another university. The syllabi must be evaluated in comparison to the IU graduate course requirements. IU courses from other campuses, if they pertain to the IU South Bend curriculum, will be accepted without further review and without limit as long as taken within the last 5 years.
Intercampus transfer requests are evaluated individually on the basis of the student’s academic record, the availability of space in the required courses, and faculty and facility resources.
Graduate nursing students in good academic standing at another university who wish to transfer should contact the Graduate Program Director at cwendelb@iu.edu. Graduate courses completed at other universities must be evaluated by the Graduate Program Director for transfer equivalency and for student placement. This process can take time; therefore, students are encouraged to make the request at least two months prior to the semester they wish to begin. Transfer students are evaluated by the Graduate Faculty for admission on a case-by-case basis. A maximum of 9 graduate transfer credits are usually all that can be accepted. Courses must have been taken at an accredited school and completed within 5 years of the date of the petition with a grade of B- or above.
