• Iowa State transfers in credits, not grades. Your Western Iowa Tech GPA will not follow you.
  • You are allowed to transfer general education and elective credits with a grade of D or better.  If you wish to transfer credits for major requirements, you must have a C or higher.
  • Your Western Iowa Tech cumulative GPA is used to calculate transfer scholarships at Iowa State.
  • You are required to have two years of a modern language for certain Iowa State programs.
  • If you graduate with an Associate of Arts (AA) or Associate of Science (AS), Iowa State transfers all courses.

Transfer pathways are current as of this posting and are subject to change. We reserve the right to make transfer credit evaluation corrections and revisions due to changes in curriculum requirements or course content by the transferring institution.

These pathways should not replace official evaluations or degree audits by the transferring institution advisor. To prompt an official evaluation, apply for admission to the transfer college and have official transcripts sent from each institution at which you have enrolled or attempted coursework.
