In general, international students coming from outside the US are highly encouraged to apply and submit all required materials as early as possible to allow ample time for student visa documents to be produced and visa appointment wait times in your home country.
For non-degree coursework, international students should contact International Admissions before submitting an application.
- Undergraduate students: oiaunder@iupui.edu
- Graduate students: oiagrad@iupui.edu
Visa restrictions may affect your study plan, so the Office of International Affairs will need to advise you based on your unique case. Once you are cleared to apply, you should submit your application at least six weeks before the start of the semester for undergraduate study, or at least one month before the start of the semester for graduate study.
