Admission

What is the admission application deadline?

There is no application deadline. Indiana Tech has a rolling admission process, so apply at any time and we will be in touch to walk you through the process.

What are the admissions requirements?

All students must submit an official transcript. SAT and ACT test scores are optional. An admission decision is based on meeting the GPA for the intended major.

How do I schedule a visit?

You can schedule your visit online or call the Admissions Office at 260.422.5561, ext. 3103. The online portal gives you quick access to available days and times to visit.

How do I send my transcripts and standardized test scores?

Simply contact your high school guidance counselor to request your transcripts to be sent. To submit your SAT or ACT scores (optional), be sure to add the Indiana Tech school code to the registration form. Our SAT code is 1323 and our ACT code is 1208.

Do I have to take placement exams?

Students who are transferring math or English credit from a previous college or university are not required to take placement exams. Freshmen enrolling at Indiana Tech upon high school graduation will be required to take a math placement exam. Indiana Tech uses SAT and/or ACT scores to determine English placement and whether a reading placement exam will be required.

Who qualifies as a transfer student?

Any student who enrolled in a college course after graduating high school or earning a GED—regardless of the length of time enrolled—is considered a transfer student and must submit college transcripts in order to be evaluated for transfer credit.

Can I submit unofficial transcripts?

Unofficial transcripts will be accepted to complete a transfer credit evaluation and for a provisional acceptance decision. However, you will be required to submit all final official transcripts to complete your admission file.

What is the difference between an official and unofficial transcript?

A transcript is considered official when it is sent directly from the high school or college in a sealed envelope containing the institution’s official seal or signature. A transcript is considered unofficial if it lacks the institution’s official seal or signature, if it is printed directly from your online student account, or if it is not received in a sealed envelope.

Will all of my credits transfer? Do you have transfer equivalencies?

Generally, non-remedial, 100-level courses or above in which a student earns a C or higher are transferable to Indiana Tech. Courses may transfer in as required credits if we offer an equivalent course and the course is needed for your major, or they may transfer in as elective credits if we do not offer an equivalent course or it is not needed for your major. Different majors require different courses, so we cannot guarantee credit transferability for all courses. You can find the curriculum for all of our majors in our Academic Catalog.

How can I access my transfer credit evaluation?

Your transfer credit evaluation can be viewed on your my.IndianaTech.edu account. After logging in, click the “You’ve Applied” link, and then click the “Degree Audit Portlet” link. All college transcripts must be submitted before your evaluation will be completed.

What is the FAFSA?
