Check here the AP Discovery process flow. If you follow that, and find where the decision is made to convert the AP to the wrong type, you probably can remove the condition or see if you can control a step earlier in the process.
Sorry for being a bit vague, but it depends where in the process the decision is made and there is no universal answer as it depends on how you configured your network.

Subject: Prevent IAP to Campus Conversion
Hello,
Have a very mixed network with both IAPs and Campus APs, however, whenever I plug in an IAP it's picked up by the controller and converted regardless. I turned off the auto join, but that didn't seem to help. Is there any other way to stop the APs from being added?
