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.

Students ​ to join the program.

  • Eligibility is initially based on the student having registered for ¼ø»ÆÊ¦app classes
  • High school GPA is not considered in eligibility requirements
  • Upon application, all college course work leading to transfer must be submitted to ISU (i.e., transcripts from ¼ø»ÆÊ¦app and any prior colleges)
  • Students who have attempted community college course work must have a cumulative transferable academic GPA of 2.0 or better
  • Career technical, preparatory, and military credits are not counted toward a transferrable academic GPA

Additional eligibility

  • Former ISU students who left ISU in good academic standing

Not eligible

  • Students in their final ¼ø»ÆÊ¦app semester prior to transfer. (Students must enroll while having one or more future ¼ø»ÆÊ¦app semesters ahead of them, summer not included.)
  • Former ISU students who were dismissed, including students enrolled in off-campus programs.

​​¼ø»ÆÊ¦app-ISU Connect offers services for high school seniors planning to attend ¼ø»ÆÊ¦app after high school and who are interested in transferring to Iowa State in the future.

Students ​ during their final semester of high school. (February-April recommended.)
