We’re always glad to welcome our students back to campus. If you’ve been away from IUPUI for fewer than two semesters (not including summer sessions) or you’re returning from military leave, you don’t need to reapply for admission. Instead, you’ll contact your academic advisor for reactivation.
If you’ve been away for two semesters or more, you’ll go through the admission process outlined here.
If you have applied to return to IUPUI as an adult to complete your bachelor's degree, our Degree Completion Office is here to support you.
There are several steps you’ll take to complete your application for admission.
Your first step is to complete IUPUI’s undergraduate admissions application. We strongly recommend that you apply online so we can process your application faster. If you prefer to submit a hard copy of your application, you may request a PDF of the application form by emailing apply@iupui.edu.
If you choose to apply online, you can use your existing IUPUI username and passphrase to log in to the application system. Contact the University Information Technology Services Support Center at 317-274-HELP (4357) or ithelp@iu.edu if you don’t remember your username and passphrase. If you’ve never had a username and passphrase, you’ll be able to create a guest computing account for the purposes of completing the application.
When you fill out the application, there will be a place for you to indicate that you are a returning student. You do not have to pay an application fee.
Apply onlineIf you have attended any colleges or universities outside the IU system since you last attended IUPUI, you must request an official copy of your transcript from each school you attended. This includes:
You must contact each school and ask for your official transcript to be sent directly to IUPUI. Transcripts should be mailed to:
IUPUI Office of Undergraduate AdmissionsIUPUI can accept official transcripts that are sent electronically from colleges and universities. However, we do not accept emailed PDFs of transcripts; your transcript must be electronically generated from an official system.
Electronic transcripts can be sent to mycredit@iupui.edu. If your school will be sending limited-time credentials that allow us to access their system, be sure to make your request during regular business hours.
As part of IUPUI’s commitment to maintaining a safe campus community, you must disclose on your application for admission if you:
You will not automatically be denied admission to IUPUI if you have a previous conviction or disciplinary action, but your application must be reviewed by the Admissions Committee before an admission decision is made. It can take up to four to six weeks for the Admissions Committee to review applicants with disclosures.
Complete the Prior Conduct Information and Release formYou can expect to find out whether you’ve been admitted to IUPUI within four to six weeks after we receive all your application materials. While you’re waiting, there are a few things you can do.
Approximately two weeks after we receive your application, you’ll get an email with your university ID number. If you don’t have an existing IUPUI computing account, you’ll need your ID number to set up your account. Go to One.IU, search for “create my first IU account,” and select that task, then create your username and passphrase, passphrase reset questions, and email address. Be sure that the email address you create is for IUPUI.
If you already have an IUPUI computing account (or if you’ve created a computing account for another IU campus), you just need to create your IUPUI email address. Sign in to One.IU with your user name and passphrase and search for “email management.” Select that task and create your IUPUI email address. Be sure to check your IUPUI email account regularly—it’s the way we’ll contact you with important information.
Go to Application Status in One.IU and select “Start.” Log in using your IUPUI username and passphrase to see the status of your application.
You can use our application update form to:
If you need to update your mailing address, phone number, or email address, you can do so in the Student Center in One.IU.
If you’re admitted to IUPUI, there are a few more steps you’ll need to take to officially become a Jaguar.
