When reviewing your application, the admissions committee will determine not only if you are admissible to IUPUI, but they'll also do a secondary review to see if you are eligible for direct admission into your selected school or major.
If you do not qualify for direct admission, you'll be admitted into IUPUI's University College, where you'll complete pre-requisite courses for your program before being considered again after your freshman or sophomore year.
