Non-degree & Visiting Students

Congratulations on your admission to Indiana University Indianapolis as a non-degree student. As a non-degree student, you are eligible to take classes at IU Indianapolis to transfer back to another college or university, to complete pre-requisites for another academic program, as well as for personal or professional enrichment.

We have outlined some steps and common questions to help you prepare for success here, starting with what you need to do before you sign up for classes, when you're ready to register, and steps you'll need to take after your registration is complete. As you're navigating what's next, know you can reach out to us with any questions you may have.

Selecting your classes

When you are ready to register for classes, you will do so in our student services portal One.IU by searching "register". Prior to registering, you can review available classes that are being offered during the term for which you've been admitted.

If you taking classes at IU Indianapolis that you plan to transfer back to another institution, it's important that you confirm how they will transfer to your home college or university. Most of the time the admissions office or the registrar's office at your home institution can help.

Some classes will require you to have special permission in order to register. This can be done by contacting the department in the academic school at IU Indianapolis for which the class is held. 

After you've registered for classes

Shortly after you've registered for classes, your tuition and fees will be assessed by the Office of the Bursar. Non-degree classes are paid for out-of-pocket in most situations, since federal and state financial aid require you to be enrolled in a degree-seeking program to receive aid at the college or university you are attending. 

Once the semester is over, and your grades from your classes are posted, you can request your transcripts. These can be sent to you, or you can have them delivered to another college or university. Keep in mind, if you are planning to have your classes transferred, most schools require an official transcript that is either sent directly from one institution to another or is in an envelope sealed by IU Indianapolis.
