Admission Guide
University of Indianapolis operates on rolling admissions, so you can submit your application throughout the year, though applying earlier gives you better access to financial aid and housing options. The application requires your high school transcript, one letter of recommendation, and either SAT or ACT scores, though the school has adopted a test-optional policy for most programs.
Nursing stands out as the most competitive program on campus, requiring separate application materials including prerequisite coursework completion and often maintaining higher academic standards than general admission. The physical therapy and occupational therapy programs also have additional requirements and limited spots available each year.
Submit your housing application early since residence hall assignments work on a first-come, first-served basis. All first-year students under 21 must live on campus unless they live within 30 miles of Indianapolis with family. The school requires attendance at summer orientation sessions, where you'll register for classes and complete placement testing if needed.
The campus sits on the south side of Indianapolis, giving you access to internships and job opportunities throughout the metro area while maintaining a traditional college campus feel. Most academic buildings connect through underground tunnels, which becomes particularly useful during Indiana winters. The Krannert Memorial Library stays open 24 hours during finals week, and the campus recreation center includes a pool and climbing wall.
Financial aid applications should be completed by March 10 to maximize your aid package, even though the school continues processing applications after this date. Merit scholarships are automatically considered with admission, but you'll need to file the FAFSA for need-based aid consideration.
