Office of Admissions

Your IU Story Starts Now. Apply to IU.

Before you can live on our beautiful campus, study in one (or more) of our hundreds of degree programs, and experience our exciting campus culture—from Big Ten sports to world-class arts—you need to apply to IU.

Admission to IU is selective, but there are several upsides to IU’s admissions process:

• We review each application for its individual merits and qualities. We look at everything from your high school curriculum to your grades and SAT/ACT test scores.
• Our application is easy to fill out. We don’t require letters of recommendation or essays from undergraduate applicants, and our application is relatively short.
• We practice rolling admissions. So if you miss your priority date, we’ll still review your application, but you may not receive full consideration for financial aid.

Application procedures and admission standards vary for different types of students, so explore the navigation to the left to learn more about how you can apply. We also have special info for admitted students and U.S. students applying for grad school.

Thanks for your interest in applying to IU. And good luck!
