Submit Supporting Documents

Complete your Application

After you finish your online application, the next step to completing your application to IU Indianapolis is to submit the required supporting documentation listed below.

You may submit this documentation through Slate, IU Indianapolis' online portal for international students. If you are unable to do this, you are also welcome to mail documentation to our office. All documents submitted for admission consideration become the property of IU Indianapolis.

Supporting Documentation for Transfer Students:

  • Official Academic Records

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

    If your school is from one of these countries and the school issued the official transcript in English, then submit the English copies. If your original academic records are not issued in English, submit both the copies of your original records in the native language and copies that have been translated into English by an official translation agency. 

    In order to complete this step, you may mail us your original documents, or you may submit electronic copies of your records by submitting them in your Slate portal.

    If you are transferring from a non-U.S. postsecondary institution, we can accept electronic copies of your records to make an admission decision . However, once you are admitted you will be required to submit the official, original records in order to verify their authenticity.

    If you are transferring from a U.S. postsecondary institution, we will need your official, original records to make an admission decision. You must have your records sent directly from your school's office of the registrar to our address below.  

    IU Indianapolis Office of International Admissions
    902 West New York Street, ES 2126
    Indianapolis, IN 46202 USA 

    All documents submitted become the property of IU Indianapolis. Transcript evaluations by Credential Evaluation agencies are NOT required.

  • Proof of English Proficiency

    If you are a non-native speaker, please review our undergraduate standards for English proficiency requirements.

    If you currently studying at a regionally accredited college or university in the U.S., you can use your Freshman English Composition Course with a "C" grade or higher (equivalent to IU Indianapolis-W131).

    If you have completed upper secondary school with at least three years of study in one of the countries listed here, then you have provided proof of English proficiency for undergraduate admission purposes.

  • Explanation of Time Since Last School Attended

    If you plan to enroll at IU Indianapolis more than 3 months after you graduate from secondary school, you will need to give us short explanation of what you have done with your time since graduation.   

    In order to complete this step, you must fill out the “Submit Explanation of Time since Last School/Intuition Attended” form in Slate.  

Transcripts and Transfer Credit

We will help you get credit for any qualified coursework you’ve already taken that can be applied to your degree at IU Indianapolis. In most cases, not all previous coursework will qualify for transfer or apply to your academic program.

The transfer credit evaluation process starts after you have applied, been admitted, and your official, final transcripts are received by our office. This process involves you, your academic department, and our office.

Submit all previous coursework 

University policy does not permit students to "start over." If you leave out or alter past coursework at any institution, your offer of admission could be revoked or you may be dismissed from the University.

You must send all of your official, final transcripts to our office before you register for classes; otherwise, a hold will be placed on your record and you will not be able to register for classes. After we have time to review your transcripts, transfer credit to be posted to your IU Indianapolis academic record.
