Read the information and the application form for the campus to which you would like to transfer.
Some IU Bloomington holds will prevent enrollment on other IU campuses (multi-institutional holds). Students with an Academic Probation or Academic Dismissal hold should contact the other campus to ask if it is possible to enroll on that campus.
Contact the orientation program at the other IU campus. They may require you to attend an orientation program and/or take placement exams before you may enroll.
Check the Schedule of Classes and the semester start and end dates for the other campus through that campus' Official Academic Calendar or on the campus website.
Schedule a meeting with an academic advisor on the new campus to discuss degree requirements and how your IU Bloomington credits will count toward your degree.
After you submit the intercampus transfer application, you will be contacted by the other IU campus about if and when you may enroll for classes on that campus.
You do not need have to have the transcript from IU Bloomington sent to the other IU campus. You have one IU transcript and it will include classes from all IU campuses.
Apply to other IU Campuses as a visiting or temporary transfer student.
Go to Class Registration; click the gear icon in the top-right corner to access the Preferences Menu; and change the institution to see course offerings at other IU campuses.
Meet with your advisor to make sure the course will count toward your Bloomington degree.
Call the orientation office for the campus where you intend to take summer classes. You could be required to attend an orientation program/event or be required to complete placement exams in math, foreign language or English Composition.
You do not need to reapply to return to Bloomington if you applied as a visiting (or temporary) intercampus transfer.
You do not need to have the transcript from the other IU campus sent to IU Bloomington. You have one IU transcript and it will include classes from all IU campuses.
