INDIANAPOLIS – Ivy Tech Community College and Trine University have created a new
statewide reverse transfer agreement for students who have transferred to Trine prior
to completing their associate degree at Ivy Tech.
To be eligible for the reverse transfer, students need to meet the following transfer
policies and conditions:
- Students must have completed a minimum of 15 credit hours from Ivy Tech to be eligible
for reverse transfer
- Students must be a currently enrolled Trine University undergraduate
- Students must have no prior associate degree from Ivy Tech
- Once the student has attained 66 or more total credit hours (including the minimum
of 15 from Ivy Tech) they will be notified each semester of their potential eligibility
for an Ivy Tech associate degree through reverse transfer until they opt-in or opt-out
“The ability to earn an associate degree through the reverse transfer opportunity
creates a milestone on students’ educational journey. This credential may make them
more marketable, keep them motivated on their way toward a bachelor’s degree, and
serve as a valuable asset should they be delayed in achieving their ultimate degree
goal. We are especially pleased to have this reverse transfer agreement with excellent
independent institutions such as Trine, a university with a long history of working
collaboratively with us,” said Dr. Russ Baker, vice president of academic affairs
and university transfer division, Ivy Tech Community College.
“Trine University is grateful for its longstanding partnership with Ivy Tech Community
College, and we are pleased to offer this benefit to Ivy Tech students who continue
their education at Trine,” said Earl D. Brooks II, Ph.D., Trine University president.
“Not only will this allow Trine students to complete the associate’s degree they began
at Ivy Tech, it will allow them to receive the $100 per credit hour discount offered
to Trine students who have reached this milestone. This is a wonderful benefit to
our students.”
Ivy Tech Community College has partnered with other institutions to offer reverse
transfer, including: University of Southern Indiana, Indiana State University, Purdue
University, Ottawa University, University of Phoenix and Western Governors University.
