Admissions Partnership Program
Iowa State University and Iowa community colleges have partnered to offer the Admissions Partnership Program (APP) to students who enroll at an Iowa community college and identify State as their transfer destination.
This program will help you take the next step toward a smooth and successful transition to Iowa State. You'll be connected to exclusive benefits such as early advising, academic support, social events, and more.
To get started now, call 515-294-5836, email admissions@iastate.edu, or visit Iowa State's Admissions Partnership Program online.
