The cost of books and materials is detailed above, in the Tuition and Fees section of this webpage.

The Slingshot service delivers the correct books and materials to your home prior to each course at a competitive cost.

Additionally, some resources are only available online via IWU.

• To request transfer credit from your previous school(s), you must contact your enrollment counselor and include the following:
  • Program in which you have been Accepted or Applied.
  • The course you have taken with an A or B grade that is believed to be the same as the one in the new program.
  • Unofficial copies of your graduate transcripts.
  • WES or other credential evaluation if the transcripts are from a non-US university.
• Indiana Wesleyan will review your transcript and confirm any applicable courses. If it is unclear that the course is the same, we may require copies of the syllabi from your previous course for comparison. We only accept transfer credit from Regionally Accredited universities (or their equivalent worldwide).
• Once we determine that a course could be eligible for credit transfer, Indiana Wesleyan must receive official copies of your transcript within the next four weeks to process the credit transfer. 

• Any course you have already taken at Indiana Wesleyan, whether you passed or failed, is not eligible for credit transfer.
• Any course you are currently taking is not eligible for credit transfer. Requests must be made before the start of the semester.
• Please understand that if you transfer a hybrid course, it will shorten your program. Once transfer credit is granted, it cannot be rescinded to lengthen your program. And unless you also transfer to an online course, you will have to double up on online classes in one or more semesters. The International Student Programs advising team will review your options with you.

• If you are an F-1 student, you must study full-time.
  • This means at least one hybrid class and a second hybrid or an online class for at least six credit hours per semester.
  • You cannot drop below this level and remain in status.

• Your responsibilities as an F-1 student are to yourself, your university, and the federal government.
• If you do not provide your DSO new information, like a change of address, they cannot fulfill their responsibility as a DSO.
• A more complete list of student responsibilities can be found at this link. (external gov’t link)

• Initial I-20 students will receive their I-20 following admission to create their SEVIS account and schedule their embassy interview upon admission into the program.
• SEVIS Transfer students from another US institution will receive their updated I-20 once they are financially cleared and registered for courses. A form will be issued for SEVIS transfer students to complete after they complete the financial clearance process.
• It is recommended that students secure their existing I-20 from their previous institution until Indiana Wesleyan issues the updated document.

• To have your SEVIS record transferred to Indiana Wesleyan, you must start with a DSO at your current school. The DSO will inform you of that school's requirements for the transfer of your SEVIS record.
• In general, you must submit a copy of your Letter of Acceptance to Indiana Wesleyan to your current institution. The IWU SEVIS Campus ID will be included in an email upon your admission to IWU.
• Some schools also require transfer-out forms to be completed by the student and a DSO at the new school. A DSO at Indiana Wesleyan will be happy to assist you. Contact F1advising@indwes.edu
• When you have met all their requirements, a DSO at your current school will initiate the transfer on the date you and the school agree.
• You will be considered "in status" while transferring your SEVIS record. However, your employment authorizations will end by the date your SEVIS record is transferred. You will not have employment authorization again until the first day of your new program at Indiana Wesleyan.

• Students planning to leave the U.S. must notify a DSO before traveling.
• The Travel Endorsement on an I-20 is for return travel to the U.S. to continue a program of study, not for departure.
• Students should plan travel outside the required residency dates.
• Students planning to travel across two separate terms, must request authorization for both terms.
• Email F1advising@indwes.edu to request your travel authorization.
