Transfer Students and Campuswide General Education Requirements
All students who transferred into IU South Bend in Fall 2005 or after are required to complete general education courses. New General Education requirements for transfer students will begin in Fall 2021 with the new General Education curriculum. Students who transferred to IU South Bend prior to fall 2021 will remain under the previous General Education requirements. See the Campus Bulletin for specific requirements based on the year of enrollment at IU South Bend. Students who are returning to classes but who originally enrolled prior to Fall 2005 should check with their academic program about general education requirements.
