Introduction to Indiana University*
When you become a student at Indiana University, you join an academic community internationally known for the excellence and diversity of its programs. With 1,129 degree programs, the university attracts students from all 50 states and around the world. The full-time faculty numbers more than 4,000 and includes members of many academic societies such as the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the American Philosophical Society, and the National Academy of Sciences.
Indiana University was founded at Bloomington in 1820 and is one of the oldest and largest institutions of higher education in the Midwest. It serves nearly 100,000 students on eight campuses. The residential campus at Bloomington and the urban center at Indianapolis form the core of the university. Campuses in Gary, Fort Wayne, Kokomo, New Albany, Richmond, and South Bend join Bloomington and Indianapolis in bringing an education of high quality within reach of all of Indiana’s citizens.
Accredited by The Higher Learning Commission (312-263-0456) and a member of the North Central Association.
General Policies*
Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Policy of Indiana University
Indiana University pledges itself to continue its commitment to the achievement of equal opportunity within the university and throughout American society as a whole. In this regard, Indiana University will recruit, hire, promote, educate, and provide services to persons based upon their individual qualifications. Indiana University prohibits discrimination based on arbitrary consideration of such characteristics as age, color, disability, ethnicity, gender, marital status, national origin, race, religion, sexual orientation, or veteran status.
Indiana University shall take affirmative action, positive and extraordinary, to overcome the discriminatory effects of traditional policies and procedures with regard to the disabled, minorities, women, and Vietnam-era veterans.
An Affirmative Action office on each campus monitors the university’s policies and assists individuals who have questions or problems related to discrimination.
Special Assistance
For people who have disabilities and need special assistance, special arrangements can be made to accommodate most needs. In Bloomington, contact Disability Services for Students at (812) 855-7578; at IUPUI, contact Adaptive Educational Services at (317) 274-3241.
Confidentiality of Student Records
In accordance with federal statutes and regulations, student records are confidential and available for disclosure to persons other than the student only under stated conditions.
Student Rights and Responsibilities
A statement of students’ rights and responsibilities is published in a handbook, Code of Student Rights, Responsibilities, and Conduct, which contains a description of due process hearings in the event of disciplinary action.
Degree Requirements
Students are responsible for understanding all requirements for graduation and for completing them by the time they expect to graduate. Information about a specific school or division can be found in the front section of the bulletin for that school.
Requests for deviation from department, program, or school requirements may be granted only by written approval from the respective chairperson, director, or dean (or a designated administrative representative). Disposition at each level is final.
Undergraduate Admissions Policy*
Indiana University has adopted the following admissions policy to ensure that undergraduate students are properly prepared for college work. These standards seek to ensure either adequate academic preparation in high school or evidence of unusual motivation on the part of each student admitted to the university. Applicants for admission to Indiana University are expected to meet the following criteria.
Freshman Students 1
Transfer Students 1
Freshman Students 1
- Graduation from an accredited Indiana high school or comparable out-of-state institution, successfully completing a minimum of 28 semesters of college-preparatory courses including the following:
- Eight semesters of English. (One semester each of speech and journalism may be included.)
- Four semesters of social science (economics, government, history, psychology, or sociology).
- Four semesters of algebra (two semesters of which must be advanced algebra) and two semesters of geometry.
- Two semesters of laboratory science (biology, chemistry, or physics).
- Eight semesters in some combination of foreign language; additional mathematics, laboratory science, or social science; computer science; and other courses of a college-preparatory nature.
- Four semesters of foreign language are strongly recommended.
- Courses to develop writing composition skills are strongly recommended.
- A rank in the upper half of the high school graduating class for Indiana residents or a rank in the upper third of the high school graduating class for out-of-state residents.
- A score above the median established by Indiana students on a nationally standardized admissions test. Students who have been out of high school for three or more years do not have to submit test scores unless required for admission to specific programs.
- Each campus may accept students who are deficient in (1), (2), or (3) of the above specifications upon receipt of such evidence as the combination of strength of college-preparatory program, rank in class, grades and grade trends in college-preparatory courses, and standardized test scores. For persons who do not meet the above criteria and who have been out of high school three or more years, admission can be based on other factors such as a General Educational Development (GED) diploma, maturity, work experience, military service, and other factors as determined by the campus.
- Each campus, at its discretion, may admit a student on a probationary basis and/or through faculty sponsorship.
- Indiana residents are expected to complete Core 40, and the Academic Honors Diploma is encouraged.
Transfer Students 1
- Submission of official transcripts from all previous institutions attended.
- The transcripts must reflect a cumulative grade point average of at least a 2.0 (on a 4.0 scale) for Indiana residents and at least a 2.5 (on a 4.0 scale) for out-of-state residents.
- If the student has fewer than 26 transferable credit hours, the high school record should reflect compliance with freshman admission requirements as specified above.
- The credentials of students seeking transfer to Indiana University will be evaluated on an individual basis.
Return to Undergraduate Admissions Policy
Transfer to Other Indiana University Campuses*
The policy stated below concerning transfer credit pertains to undergraduate students only.
Each campus has established one office to serve as the central information source for intercampus transfers. Some campuses have priority dates for students to declare an interest in making an intercampus transfer. Even if a campus has no priority date, it is important to start investigating the transfer requirements as early as possible to assure the best possibility of enrolling in your desired courses.
Consult the intercampus transfer Web site at www.iupui.edu/~moveiu for detailed information and a listing of campus contacts and intercampus transfer policies. You can also initiate an intercampus transfer by completing the form on the Web site.
Students who want to transfer from one Indiana University campus to another campus should follow these procedures:
- Meet with your home campus advisor to discuss academic preparation, grades, and other eligibility issues. You can get a general idea of how your classes may apply to another degree by using the Degree Progress Report, a computerized degree-audit system available on the Web through the OneStart portal at onestart.iu.edu. While the advising capacity of the Degree Progress Report is qualified by each individual's circumstances, it can help you learn how courses will apply toward different degrees.
- Consult the intercampus transfer office at the proposed new campus if academic and/or eligibility questions remain. Rembember that application for intercampus transfer does not guarantee admission to the campus or a specific school on the campus. Campuses may provide additional information and contact points for questions.
- If applicable, talk to the financial aid offices at the present and proposed campuses. Your aid eligibility does not transfer automatically from one campus to another.
- Visit the new campus to explore possible academic and social adjustment issues; some campuses may establish special open house events for those students who have expressed interest. Some campuses may also require that you attend a special orientation program or take placement examinations.
- If you decide to proceed with the transfer, complete the intercampus transfer form. The receiving campus will respond to you and your home campus. If you decide later not to transfer, you should notify both campuses.

Rules Determining Resident and Nonresident Student Status for Indiana University Fee Purposes*
These Rules establish the policy under which students shall be classified as residents or nonresidents upon all campuses of Indiana University for University fee purposes. Nonresident students shall pay a nonresident fee in addition to fees paid by a resident student.
These Rules shall take effect February 1, 1974; provided, that no person properly classified as a resident student before February 1, 1974, shall be adversely affected by this Rule, if he or she attended the university before that date and while he or she remains continuously enrolled in the university.
- “Residence” as the term, or any of its variations (e.g., “resided”), as used in the context of these Rules, means the place where an individual has his or her permanent home, at which he or she remains when not called elsewhere for labor, studies, or other special or temporary purposes, and to which he or she returns in seasons of repose. It is the place a person has voluntarily fixed as a permanent habitation for himself or herself with an intent to remain in such place for an indefinite period. A person at any one time has but one residence, and a residence cannot be lost until another is gained.
- A person entering the state from another state or country does not at that time acquire residence for the purpose of these Rules, but except as provided in Rule 2(c)1, such person must be a resident for 12 months in order to qualify as a resident student for fee purposes.
- Physical presence in Indiana for the predominant purpose of attending a college, university, or other institution of higher education, shall not be counted in determining the 12-month period of residence; nor shall absence from Indiana for such purpose deprive a person of resident student status.
- A person shall be classified as a “resident student” if he or she has continuously resided in Indiana for at least 12 consecutive months immediately preceding the first scheduled day of classes of the semester or other session in which the individual registers in the University, subject to the exception in (c)1 below.
- The residence of an unemancipated person under 21 years of age follows that of the parents or of a legal guardian who has actual custody of such person or administers the property of such person. In the case of divorce or separation, if either parent meets the residence requirements, such person will be considered a resident.2
- If such person comes from another state or country for the predominant purpose of attending the University, he or she shall not be admitted to resident student status upon the basis of the residence of a guardian in fact, except upon appeal to the Standing Committee on Residence in each case.1
- Such person may be classified as a resident student without meeting the 12-month residence requirement within Indiana if his or her presence in Indiana results from the establishment by his or her parents of their residence within the state and if he or she proves that the move was predominantly for reasons other than to enable such person to become entitled to the status of “resident student.”1
- When it shall appear that the parents of a person properly classified as a “resident student” under subparagraph (c) above have removed their residence from Indiana, such person shall then be reclassified to the status of nonresident; provided, that no such reclassification shall be effective until the beginning of a semester next following such removal.
- A person once properly classified as a resident student shall be deemed to remain a resident student so long as remaining continuously enrolled in the university until such person’s degree shall have been earned, subject to the provisions of subparagraph (d) above. 3
- The foreign citizenship of a person shall not be a factor in determining resident student status if such person has legal capacity to remain permanently in the United States. 3
- A person classified as a nonresident student may show that he or she is exempt from paying the nonresident fee by clear and convincing evidence that he or she has been a resident (see Rule 1 above) of Indiana for the 12 months prior to the first scheduled day of classes of the semester in which his or her fee status is to be changed. Such a student will be allowed to present his or her evidence only after the expiration of 12 months from the residence qualifying date, i.e., the date upon which the student commenced the 12-month period for residence. The following factors will be considered relevant in evaluating a requested change in a student’s nonresident status and in evaluating whether his or her physical presence in Indiana is for the predominant purpose of attending a college, university, or other institution of higher education. The existence of one or more of these factors will not require a finding of resident student status, nor shall the non-existence of one or more require a finding of nonresident student status. All factors will be considered in combination, and ordinarily resident student status will not result from the doing of acts which are required or routinely done by sojourners in the state or which are merely auxiliary to the fulfillment of educational purposes.
- The residence of a student’s parents or guardians.
- The situs of the source of the student’s income.
- To whom a student pays his or her taxes, including property taxes.
- The state in which a student’s automobile is registered.
- The state issuing the student’s driver’s license.
- Where the student is registered to vote.
- The marriage of the student to a resident of Indiana.
- Ownership of property in Indiana and outside of Indiana.
- The residence claimed by the student on loan applications, federal income tax returns, and other documents.
- The place of the student’s summer employment, attendance at summer school, or vacation.
- The student’s future plans including committed place of future employment or future studies.
- Admission to a licensed profession in Indiana.
- Membership in civic, community, and other organizations in Indiana or elsewhere.
- All present and intended future connections or contacts outside of Indiana.
- The facts and documents pertaining to the person’s past and existing status as a student.
- Parents’ tax returns and other information, particularly when emancipation is claimed.
- The fact that a person pays taxes and votes in the state does not in itself establish residence, but will be considered as hereinbefore set forth.
- The registrar or the person fulfilling those duties on each campus shall classify each student as resident or nonresident and may require proof of all relevant facts. The burden of proof is upon the student making a claim to a resident student status.
- A Standing Committee on Residence shall be appointed by the president of the university and shall include two students from among such as may be nominated by the student body presidents of one or more of the campuses of the university. If fewer than four are nominated, the president may appoint from among students not nominated.
- A student who is not satisfied by the determination of the registrar has the right to lodge a written appeal with the Standing Committee on Residence within 30 days of receipt of written notice of the registrar’s determination, which committee shall review the appeal in a fair manner and shall afford to the student a personal hearing upon written request. A student may be represented by counsel at such hearing. The committee shall report its determination to the student in writing. If no appeal is taken within the time provided herein, the decision of the registrar shall be final and binding.
- The Standing Committee on Residence is authorized to classify a student as a resident student, though not meeting the specific requirements herein set forth, if such student’s situation presents unusual circumstances and the individual classification is within the general scope of these Rules. The decision of the committee shall be final and shall be deemed equivalent to a decision of the Trustees of Indiana University.
- A student or prospective student who shall knowingly provide false information or shall refuse to provide or shall conceal information for the purpose of improperly achieving resident student status shall be subject to the full range of penalties, including expulsion, provided for by the university, as well as to such other punishment which may be provided for by law.
- A student who does not pay additional monies which may be due because of his or her classification as a nonresident student within 30 days after demand, shall thereupon be indefinitely suspended.
- A student or prospective student who fails to request resident student status within a particular semester or session and to pursue a timely appeal (see rule 8) to the Standing Committee on Residence shall be deemed to have waived any alleged overpayment of fees for that semester or session.
- If any provision of these rules or the application thereof to any person or circumstance is held invalid, the invalidity does not affect other provisions or applications of these rules which can be given effect without the invalid provision or application, and to this end the provisions of these rules are severable.
1 Rules 2(b) and 2(c) apply only to unemancipated persons under 21 years of age.
2 Invocation of the provision in Rule 2(a) that applies to cases of divorce or separation requires appropriate legal documentation.
3 NOTE: Effective Fall 2007, students with immigration statuses which permit the establishment of a domicile in the United States may be eligible to pay resident fees. Current eligible classifications are: A-1, A-2, A-3, E-1, E-2, E-3, G-1, G-2, G-3, G-4, H-1B, H-4, I, L-1, L-2, O-1, O-3, V-1, V-2, and V-3. Continuing eligibility to remain classified as a resident student for fee-paying purpose depends upon the continued maintenance of eligible immigration status. Contact the registrar's office for more information.
