What are the transfer requirements for Indian River State College?

I'm a current junior thinking about starting at a community college and transferring. What are the transfer requirements if I start at Indian River State College? Would love some insights from anyone who's made this move!

Indian River State College has specific transfer requirements depending on whether you're transferring from a public Florida university, another Florida community college, or a non-Florida or private institution.

Students transferring from a Florida public university or community college:

- You have to have an AA degree or higher.

- Upon completion of an AA degree, you're automatically eligible to be considered for transfer into a program of upper-level studies (junior/senior level). If you're admitted, you will start as a junior.

- The grades in previous college coursework must be at a level appropriate for admission to the particular program selected. Each program has its own minimum GPA requirements.

For students transferring from a non-Florida or private institution:

- You need to submit official transcripts from each college or university you've attended.

- You may be asked to submit course descriptions or syllabi to determine course equivalencies.

- Students with less than 60 transferrable quarter credits (or 40 semester credits) may also have to meet freshman criteria and submit high school documentation in addition to their college transcripts.

Remember that while the AA degree ensures admission consideration, certain baccalaureate programs might have additional requirements that should be met for transfer, such as prerequisites or a higher GPA. Check with an advisor at Indian River for specific requirements related to your intended major. You should also confirm that the courses you are taking at your current institution will be accepted for credit at Indian River.

Finally, note that there is an application deadline for transfer students, so you should apply and send all your materials in a timely manner to smoothly facilitate your transfer process. Good luck with your journey!
