Courses may be acceptable for transfer credit from other accredited colleges and universities provided they are comparable in nature, content, and level to those offered at IIT and the grades are the equivalent of a C of higher. A grade of C- is not acceptable for transfer credit. A maximum of 68 applicable credit hours is transferable from a two-year institution. Credit will not be granted for experiential learning, career and vocational courses. Official credit evaluations are completed only after a student is admitted to the university.
While these forms are being updated they are still valid for what will transfer to IIT.

A student may request a review of academic status or university regulations by submitting an academic petition to the Office of Undergraduate Academic Affairs. An undergraduate student registered at IIT who wishes to enroll at another institution must submit an academic petition to the Office of Undergraduate Academic Affairs for approval prior to registration at the other institution. This includes registration at another institution for the summer term.
Former IIT students who want to return as full-time or part-time undergraduate students must submit an application for reinstatement to the Office of Undergraduate Academic Affairs no later than three weeks prior to the week of registration for the semester of intended enrollment. Students who have attended other schools since their last attendance at IIT must submit official transcripts before a decision is made on their reinstatement. Application does not assure acceptance. There is no fee for this procedure.
