Transferring to Iowa State

Transferring to Iowa State is simple. Meet with your community college adviser/counselor to discuss APP. Complete and submit the application for admission. Enjoy the adventure.

Provided that you meet Iowa State's admission requirements, including a 2.0 in all college coursework and completion of at least 24 transferable academic semester credit hours, you will be formally admitted to Iowa State University. If you intend to transfer before earning 24 transferable credit hours, you must meet freshman admission requirements and have a 2.0 GPA in all college coursework attempted.
