Ivy Tech, USI Develop Guaranteed Admissions Agreement for Many Programs

In order to qualify for Guaranteed Admission most programs listed require the student to have a 2.5 cumulative GPA at Ivy Tech, with exceptions of higher GPA requirements for certain majors.

Ivy Tech Community College and the University of Southern Indiana have established a guaranteed admission agreement to ensure a smooth transfer to specific bachelor’s degree programs at USI, following a student’s successful completion of an Ivy Tech associate degree. This agreement is now effective.

Ivy Tech Chancellor Daniela Vidal explained that these types of agreements will assist our communities in moving forward, and help to keep our talented population in this area with the degrees they earn. “We are so excited about this opportunity to make earning a bachelor’s degree even more affordable for the communities Ivy Tech and USI serve,” Vidal said. “This type of agreement gives a student a clear pathway for their degree, and sets clearly the expectations in order to move forward. I would like to thank the University for working with us diligently to make this happen.”

“This agreement expands on our long-standing collaboration to establish and enhance educational pathways that prepare students for success in a rapidly changing economy,” said Dr. Mohammed Khayum, USI Provost.

Qualifying students will be able to transfer in to USI with no less than 60 credit hours, in junior status, toward their bachelor’s degree.
