Undergraduate Non-Degree or Visiting Student Admission

If you are a non-degree student, you typically will not qualify for financial aid offered through the FAFSA. The US Department of Education requires students to be enrolled in a degree program at school at which they are enrolled to qualify for financial aid.

Additionally, IU Indianapolis does not offer any scholarship or grants for non-degree students. 

Therefore, you will most likely be responsible for tuition and fees out-of-pocket.

Since you are not enrolled in a degree program on our campus, you will not be assigned an academic advisor. Instead, you are expected to work with an academic advisor at your home college or university to identify which classes to take and how they will transfer back to your degree program.

As a non-degree student, you will use the Apply IU application and in the "Academic Goals" section, select "I want to take classes as a visiting/non-degree student from another IU campus, another institution or other educational interest."

• Start the Apply IU Application

When you submit your application, you must pay a $65 nonrefundable application fee.

Students who are transferring from another Indiana University campus, or those transferring from Ivy Tech Community College with have more than 45 credit hours will automatically have their fee waived when they apply. 

As a non-degree applicant, you are not required to send official copies of your college transcripts. Unofficial copies, including those printed from your student services portal at your home college or university, can be sent to our office by emailing mycredit@iupui.edu. 

You can also send your unofficial transcript through the mail. Transcripts should be mailed to:

 If you are currently attending another IU campus, you do not need to provide us with your transcripts. 

Approximately one week after you apply, you will be able to look up your University ID number. You’ll use this ID number to create your IU Indianapolis computing account, which you’ll use to check the status of your application.

Please note that your IU Indianapolis computing account is different than the guest computing account you created when you applied online. The guest computing account was solely for the purpose of submitting your application online.

Please note, it can take up to 24 hours for your account to fully activate.

Do you already have an account?

If needed, you can follow these steps to reset your passphrase. You can also contact the University Information Technology Services help desk at (317) 274-HELP for additional assistance.
