How to transfer credit
- Credit transfer service. If you plan to take a course at another university, you can check the credit transfer service web site to first see how the course will transfer at IU Bloomington. If the university you plan to attend isn’t listed in the credit transfer service web site, you must contact the department of the course you plan to take and they will need to determine how the course will count.
- Intercampus transfer. If you plan to take a course at another IU campus and would like to transfer the course back to the Bloomington campus, you will need to do an intercampus transfer. Click here to apply on-line and for more information.
- For a course already taken. To learn how IU transfers credit and for rules and regulations, please contact the IU admissions web site, which lists the grade required and other pertinent information.

How to fulfill an Incomplete Course
A grade of I (Incomplete) may be given only when
the work of the course is substantially completed
and when the student's work is of passing quality.
When an I is assigned, a record must be maintained
in the office of the department in which the grade
was given. The record will include a statement
of the reason for recording the I, an adequate
guide for its removal, and a suggested final grade
in case the instructor should leave campus for
an extended time.
The time allowed for the removal of an I may not
exceed one calendar year from the date of its recording,
although the dean of the student's college or school
may authorize adjustment of this period in exceptional
circumstances.
To complete a course in which a student received
a grade of I, the student should consult with the
instructor. The student should not reenroll in the
course.
By assigning an I, an instructor implicitly authorizes
and requires the I to be changed to an F at the end
of one calendar year if that instructor does not
act to remove the I. The registrar will automatically
change the I to an F at the end of this time period.
Both the student and the instructor in whose course
the student received the I will be notified of this
change of grade.
When the grade of I is given because students missed
the final examination, they will be allowed to remove
the I by taking the examination only if they have
the approval of the instructor and the Committee
on Absence of the Division of Student Affairs.
These regulations do not apply to research and reading
courses in which completion of the work of the course
is not necessarily required at the end of the semester
and the grade R (Deferred) is given. Once a student
has graduated, nothing in these regulations shall
prohibit the I from remaining on the record.
