Frequently Asked Questions

Are there any entrance requirements?
No, we do not require SAT scores or an associate’s degree.  Students transferring in less than six courses will be required to take a writing proficiency exam.

Do I need a minimum GPA?
It would be helpful to have a 3.0 or above, but each applicant is reviewed on an individual basis.

May I transfer credits from previous colleges?
You may transfer up to 18 courses in the liberal arts or sciences from other accredited colleges.

Do I have to be a full-time student?
You may be full-time or part-time depending on your needs.  Students interested in federal aid must be enrolled in at least two courses per semester.  Foreign students must carry a full course load of four courses.

Will I have an academic advisor?
You will be assigned an IDP faculty advisor, and a peer advisor.  Both the director and the assistant director also act as academic advisors.

May I use the campus facilities?
IDP students are considered full-fledged students.  All of the campus facilities, including the library, computing center, math and writing centers, and more are open to IDP students.

Will I be allowed to join campus organizations?
Yes, many IDP students get involved with student organizations.

Will I have to live on campus?
There is no campus housing for adult students.

How can I receive an application?
Interested candidates can request an IDP brochure and College Bulletin.  After you have gone over the materials, you will schedule a preliminary interview with Liz Burns, Assistant Director. You will receive application materials at the interview.
