Transfer Credit for Current IC Students

Current students who have course work taken before enrolling at Ithaca College that has not been evaluated, can still have an evaluation completed. To begin the evaluation process, have official transcripts or exam results sent to the Office of the Registrar at registrar@ithaca.edu. Once transfer credit has been awarded, it will be viewable on your unofficial transcript in HomerConnect or your degree evaluation in Degree Works. Please allow 5-7 business days for the evaluation review once the official documents are received.

Please Note: Transfer credit cannot be awarded from your high school transcript. We must receive an official transcript directly from the credit granting agency. (Students should not send themselves official documents to be forwarded to Ithaca College, they must be sent directly to Ithaca College.)

Petition for Transfer Credit (PTC)

Current Students who wish to take courses elsewhere in the United States should fill out a Petition for Transfer Credit (PTC) form.

(Current students who wish to study abroad should use the appropriate study abroad credit approval form instead of the IC Workflow PTC. Please visit the study abroad website for information: https://www.ithaca.edu/academics/study-abroad/study-abroad-credit-and-grades.)

  • Please log into IC Workflow to access the PTC.
  • As part of the workflow, the Office of the Registrar will verify that the institution in question is accredited.
  • It will then be routed to the appropriate chair of the relevant department and dean for approval.
  • This form should be submitted before the student takes the course so that there is no question as to how the course credit will be applied to the student's individual degree requirements.
  • If you want to receive credit for Integrative Core Curriculum (ICC) requirements from other domestic institutions, you must also complete the appropriate ICC PTC form. Completion of the form does not guarantee courses will be approved to fulfill ICC requirements. Courses must be approved by the Office of the Registrar and appear on a student's Degree Works before the Office of the ICC can review them.
  • Upon completion of transfer coursework, an official transcript should be sent from the approved institution directly to the Office of the Registrar one of the following ways:
    • ​​​​​​electronically to registrar@ithaca.edu
    • via mail to: Ithaca College Office of the Registrar, 953 Danby Rd, Ithaca NY 14850

Articulation Agreements

Ithaca College has developed partnerships with select institutions to provide pathways for students to transfer seamlessly from their college or university to IC, or for current IC students to complete additional bachelors or graduate degrees.

Articulation agreements are formal agreements or partnerships between two or more colleges or schools documenting transfer policies that define a pathway from an academic program in one place to the other.
