Guest students are students enrolling for a semester or summer session as visitors from another institution.
If you are already enrolled at another IU campus for your degree, please use the temporary intercampus transfer application.

Permanent intercampus transfers and other guest students should use the ApplyIU link at the bottom of this page.
As a guest student you'll have the opportunity to take a class that did not fit into your previous schedule, lighten your upcoming fall and spring schedule, or graduate earlier. Start planning your schedule by reviewing our registration calendar and schedule of classes.
Here are the requirements you'll need to meet, and the materials you’ll have to supply, to become a guest student at IU South Bend:
