You must submit full and complete academic records from every secondary school and university/post-secondary institution you have attended. Your records should also include any coursework currently in progress.

Submitting academic records

For non-US schools, we can accept electronic copies of your records for admission decision purposes. You can submit electronic copies of your official records by uploading them to the “Submit Academic Records” form in Atlas. Once you are admitted you will be required to submit official, original records in order to verify their authenticity.

IU Indianapolis is test optional, meaning we do not require SAT or ACT test scores for admission or merit scholarship consideration. Instead, we holistically review each application for its individual merits and qualities, including academic performance and preparation, the strength and quality of the school curriculum, your recent grade trends, and class rank. However, if you have taken these exams, you are encouraged to submit them if you would like to use them to meet minimum English proficiency requirements.
