Sure your college adventure didn't begin as a Cyclone, but there's no better place to finish your education than at Iowa State University.

Everything you'd expect - and more!

As an Iowa State transfer student you will be immersed in a university where the academic programs, student services and quality of life meet your needs and really do foster an environment to grow.

If you have enrolled in any college-level course work since graduating from high school, you are considered a transfer student. We welcome transfer students from Iowa, out-of-state and international institutions. Last year, almost one-third of our entering class transferred to Iowa State from other schools.

Transferring to Iowa State is easy!

Start by exporing TRANSIT, an online system which displays how your credits may transfer to Iowa State University from a community college or other university. We have hundreds of transfer agreements with colleges around the country which help create a seamless transfer process, and our friendly and knowledgeable staff is available to assist you throughout the transfer process.

Once you're at Iowa State, we offer special transfer orientation and new student programs just for you.
