How to Apply

How you apply to IU will depend on where you're coming from.

  • If you are currently a degree-seeking student on one of IU's regional campuses (IUPUI, IU East, IPFW, IU Kokomo, IU Northwest, IU South Bend, IU Southeast, or IUPU Columbus), you will complete the application for Intercampus Transfer.

  • If you are applying for transfer admission from any other accredited two- or four-year college in the United States, you will complete the Transfer Application for Admission.

  • If you are an international student applying for transfer admission, you will complete our International Transfer application.

Intercampus Transfer Students

Students who are attending or have attended one of IU's regional campuses should see our information for Intercampus Transfer.

U.S. and International Transfer Students

The Office of Admissions is no longer accepting transfer admission applications for Fall Semester 2008.

There are two ways you can apply to IU:

  1. Online Application: It's easy to use and secure, plus it gives you immediate confirmation that we've received your application.
  2. Paper Application: If you prefer to use a paper application, you can download the application now.

Admission Checklist

We make applying to IU as easy as possible. Use this checklist to make sure you don't miss a step:

  • Review our transfer admission standards and priority dates.
  • Apply online or on paper. We encourage you to use the Online Application, but all application methods are treated equally in the evaluation process.
  • Submit the application fee. Our application fee is $50 ($60 for international students). If you apply online, you will pay the fee by credit card. If you apply on paper, you can submit a check or money order.
  • Submit your high school transcript. High school transcripts are required for applicants who have completed fewer than 26 semester hours (or 39 quarter hours) of college course work. Please ask your high school to send your official transcript directly to IU.
  • Submit your college transcript. We require an official transcript from each college or university you have attended. If you are currently enrolled, arrange for your official transcript to be sent directly to IU at the time of application
  • Check your application status. You can check your application status online and see if any of the required credentials are missing from your file.
  • Await your admission decision. We practice rolling admissions and each application is carefully reviewed by our admissions counselors, beginning in early fall. You can expect to hear from us six to eight weeks after we receive your completed application, fee, and transcript(s).
