Expanded partnership - new opportunities!
​â¶Ä‹â¶Ä‹â¶Ä‹â€‹â¶Ä‹â¶Ä‹â¶Ä‹â€‹Do you want to get the most of your academic journey to Iowa State University after ¼ø»ÆÊ¦app? Then consider ​.
¼ø»ÆÊ¦app-ISU Connect builds on the longstanding Admissions Partnership Program (APP)​ between ¼ø»ÆÊ¦app and ISU. In addition to guaranteed admission to Iowa State when you meet academic requirements and access to student clubs and recreation facilities, ¼ø»ÆÊ¦app-ISU Connect offers:
- Onsite transfer admission counseling
- Coordinated academic advising and degree planning
- Personal onboarding sessions with ISU staff
- Dedicated ISU housing community for ¼ø»ÆÊ¦app transfers
- Career preparation workshops and other special events
In addition, ¼ø»ÆÊ¦app-ISU Connect offers an early-entry option for ¼ø»ÆÊ¦app-bound high school seniors, jump-starting the planning process for future transfer.
​â¶Ä‹â¶Ä‹â¶Ä‹â€‹â€‹Kat Klingseis works one-on-one with ¼ø»ÆÊ¦app students onsite and virtually to navigate the transfer process. She can help with questions and guide students through the transfer steps. Kat is available one to two days a week on ¼ø»ÆÊ¦app’s Ankeny campus, Building 5, and on other campuses throughout the semester.
