Submit your application
- Submit your application by the priority deadline.
- Submit your application as soon as possible if you plan to apply for financial aid, housing and scholarships at IU Bloomington during our regular admission cycle (January 1 – March 1).
- Submit your application before the deadline if you want to be considered for early decision, which is available only to first-year applicants. The decision will be made in December, and early results will be released around mid-December.*
Request transcripts
If you are an incoming freshman and still need to receive your final high school transcripts, please request them immediately. The Office of Admissions will not be able to process your application until they have received official copies of all required documents, including:
Official high school transcript(s) showing graduation date or GED score report
Proof of English proficiency (if applicable)
To request a transcript from your school(s), follow their instructions closely so that the information is accurate and complete. You may also need to provide an original signature on the transcript request form and payment for any fees associated with obtaining these records from your schools. Once we receive these documents in our office, we will review them before sending them back via FedEx overnight shipping. Hence, they arrive at our address by Friday before orientation week.
Meet priority deadlines
- Meet the priority deadline for your program of interest. This can be found on the IU Bloomington, IUPUI, IU East, Kokomo and Northwest websites.
- If you are applying to multiple campuses within the University of Indiana system (IU Bloomington, IUPUI and others), you must submit your application by each campus’campus’ty deadline. This will ensure that all campuses have received all necessary materials before deciding who they want to admit into their programs.
After you apply, make sure to stay organized and complete your transfer application on time
Once you’ve done so, stay organized and complete your transfer application on time. Ensure you send in all the correct documents and follow up with the schools you are applying to. Also, keep track of your status as a transfer student so that when the time comes for registration at IUPUI, there will be surprises!
