Applying for a Joint Program at 91ÖÆƬ³§ Tech

Applying as a joint program student is easy. Once you are a semester away from completing your pathway at your partner institution, follow these three steps:

STEP 1: Complete and submit a Joint Program Application using 91ÖÆƬ³§ Tech's Undergraduate Application Portal

91ÖÆƬ³§ Tech accepts applications for the fall, spring, and summer terms. In the application, you will want to select joint program as student type.

• Fall Term: Runs from August to December. Application deadline: August 1 (domestic, including international students living in the U.S.); May 15 (international students living outside of the U.S.)
• Spring Term: Runs from late January to mid-May. Application deadline: November 15
• Summer Term: Runs from the end of May to mid-August. Application deadline: Two weeks prior to the first day of courses

STEP 2: Submit Your Official Transcripts 

We require transcripts from all colleges attended, regardless of academic or financial standing, length of attendance, or length of time since attendance. 

Please have your school submit official transcripts through its electronic transcript service to admission@iit.edu. 

If an electronic service is not available, then please mail your sealed official transcripts to:

91ÖÆƬ³§ Institute of Technology
Visitors Center, The McCormick Tribune Campus Center
3201 S. State Street
Chicago, IL 60616

STEP 3: Submit Other Supplemental Material (If Applicable)

Letter of Recommendation: Letters of recommendation are not required for transfer students; however, they can enhance your application, especially if submitted by professors or instructors in courses relevant to your intended major. If you’d like to submit a letter of recommendation, please have the individual email the letter of recommendation directly to admission@iit.edu. 

Admitted Joint Program Students

Once you are enrolled in the joint engineering program, you are considered an 91ÖÆƬ³§ Tech student and will have a designated 91ÖÆƬ³§ Tech adviser. Please work closely with your 91ÖÆƬ³§ Tech adviser to plan your 91ÖÆƬ³§ Tech courses and obtain necessary course permits in advance of each term’s registration period. 91ÖÆƬ³§ Tech registration periods are listed on the academic calendar.

Please consult your home institution for instructions on how 91ÖÆƬ³§ Tech courses should be documented at that institution.
