Transfer of Credit

Many incoming students have earned college credits at other schools or universities that may apply toward their chosen degree program at IADT.

Students who previously attended an accredited college or university may be granted transfer credit, at the sole discretion of the International Academy of Design and Technology, if the courses taken at the previous school are determined by IADT to be sufficiently equivalent to courses offered at the Academy.

Transfer of Credit Policies

IADT Tampa must determine that those courses are applicable to to their chosen program of study at the Academy. Only courses for which the student earned a grade of C or above will be considered for transfer.

Students seeking to transfer credit are responsible for:

• Having official transcripts forwarded to IADT Tampa for review.
• Petitioning for transfer credit with the Registrar as soon as possible after acceptance into the school.

Academic Test Out Policy

Students who believe they possess superior proficiency in a subject that is taught as part of their chosen program at the Academy may be eligible to take a test for evaluating previous experience and receiving college credit. Tests lists are available at the Registrar's office. Tests are not permitted for all courses and the Registrar will only accept applications for tests that are listed.

A student's proficiency in a subject area may have been gained through training experience, on-the-job learning, self-instruction or other means. Having extensive experience in an area, however, does not guarantee that you possess the knowledge to pass an examination. You are responsible for obtaining review material and preparing for the test.
