Once a Jaguar, always a Jaguar. 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.
Your first step is to complete IUPUI’s undergraduate admissions application.
If you choose to apply online, you can use your existing IUPUI username and passphrase to log in to the application system, which will minimize the information you'll need to complete. f you don’t remember your username and passphrase, contact the University Information Technology Services Support Center at 317-274-HELP (4357) or . 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. Make sure to list IUPUI as a post-secondary school so that you do not have to pay an application fee, since you've already paid one. If the application requests you to pay another application fee, please contact our office at 317-274-4591, and we'll be happy to help troubleshoot the issue with you.
If 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 formReinstatement after academic dismissal
If you were academically dismissed from IUPUI, you will need to go through additional steps. If you were previously enrolled in a school other than University College, you may work directly with them to identify your next steps. Or if you were enrolled in University College, you will go through their academic reinstatement process.
Please apply early. You can contact mydegree@iupui.edu if you have questions about which school or department at which you were enrolled.
Reinstatement petition dates
Please note, the reinstatement petition is only available during the following dates:
You 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 several things you can do.
Approximately two weeks after we receive your application, you’ll get an email with your University ID number. You’ll use this ID number to create your IUPUI computing account, which you’ll use to check the status of your application.
Please note that your IUPUI computing account is different than the guest computing account you created when you applied online. The guest computing account was solely for the purpose of submitting your application online.
Go to One.IU, search for “create my first IU account” and select that task. You’ll then be able to create your username and passphrase, passphrase reset questions, and email address. Be sure that the email address you create is for IUPUI.
After you’ve created your IUPUI computing account, you’ll be able to check the status of your application in One.IU. To check your status, go to Application Status in One.IU and select "Start." Log in using your IUPUI username and passphrase (not your guest account information) to see the status of your application.
