Ivy Tech Community College has signed a new credit transfer partnership with Union Institute & University in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Ivy Tech has more than 50 credit transfer arrangements, including reverse transfer agreements. 

Ivy Tech Community College graduates who transfer into UI&U undergraduate programs will receive a scholarship of $100 discount per credit hour for the first 30 credit hours of registration up to $3,000, UI&U said in a statement. Members of Phi Theta Kappa will receive an additional first semester $500 scholarship.

Sonya Fultz, UI&U director, academic partnerships and innovation and former chair of the Southwestern Council for Higher Education Articulation and Transfer Committee, said transfer students receive all UI&U academic services including program advising, writing and math tutoring services, access to the college's online library and career services.

Fultz said transfer agreement partnerships are another example of Union's commitment to meet students where they are in their educational career.

“UI&U is rapidly expanding its transfer partnerships with community colleges,” Fultz said. “New partnership agreements include Cuyahoga Community College, Southern State and other that will be signed in the next few weeks.”
