Application ProceduresGeneral Instructions Letters of Recommendation These are the required components for applications to graduate degree and licensure programs.
Applications must be submitted to the campus at which the degree is awarded. Application is accepted to only one graduate degree program at a time. Applications to all doctoral (Ph.D. and Ed.D.) and specialist (Ed.S.) degree programs must be submitted to the Bloomington campus. Some master’s and licensure programs are offered at both Bloomington and Indianapolis campuses, some at Bloomington only, and one at Indianapolis only. Application to a graduate licensure program and to a graduate degree program may be combined. Certain programs have application requirements in addition to those listed above. Some doctoral, specialist, and master’s programs require a personal or telephone interview with department faculty. The Student Affairs Administration Program requires applicants to obtain a graduate assistantship as a condition of admission. Occasionally, scholarly writing samples (e.g., term papers) are requested prior to an admission decision. Some programs (e.g., higher education, special education, and educational leadership) require work experience prior to admission. Certain doctoral programs require completion of a master’s degree prior to admission. Applicants may email educate@indiana.edu or call (812) 856-8504 (Bloomington) or (317) 374-6868 (Indianapolis) with any questions regarding their application. Return to General Instructions Letters of Recommendation Letters of recommendation should be written by persons who can comment from personal knowledge on the applicant’s academic or professional qualifications for graduate study. Whenever possible, letters of recommendation should be submitted from academic sources. If, however, an applicant has been out of school for a number of years, professional references may be substituted. Recommendations may be submitted online or on letterhead. Recommenders with e-mail addresses or named as online providers in the application will receive an e-mail notification with instructions to submit the recommendations online. Recommenders submitting paper recommendations should use institution or company letterhead and include the applicant’s name and, if available, date of birth. Each recommender must enclose the letter in a sealed envelope, sign across the seal, and return the envelope to the applicant. Should the recommender prefer to send the letter directly to our office, he or she may do so. Unsigned envelopes with reference letters cannot be accepted.

Return to Application Procedures Admission CriteriaThe School of Education employs the following criteria for admission to graduate programs:
Return to Application Procedures
Admission ProcessApplication Deadlines for Domestic Students Application Deadlines for Domestic StudentsFor doctoral applications (Ed.D. and Ph.D.), the application deadline for fall matriculation is January 15, except for Counseling Psychology and School Psychology, for which the deadline is December 1. To insure full consideration for financial support and because some programs limit the numbers of students they accept each year, early application is strongly recommended. Applications submitted by January 15 will automatically be considered for university, School of Education, and departmental fellowships, assistantships, and fee scholarships. (See the section titled Financial Support.) Most fellowships, fee scholarships, and assistantships are awarded immediately after this date. Late applications will be considered in some programs until June 1, but only when space is available, and with greatly reduced opportunity for financial support. For spring matriculation to doctoral programs (not including Higher Education, Counseling Psychology, and School Psychology), the deadline for applications is November 1. The summer admission deadline is March 1, except for Counseling, Learning, and Developmental Sciences and School Psychology, which do not admit students for summer semesters. Applications to Master’s and Education Specialist (Ed.S.) programs should be submitted by March 1 for fall matriculation, except for Student Affairs Administration, for which the deadline is January 15, and for the Ed.S. in School Psychology, for which the deadline is December 1. Late applications will be considered in some programs until June 1, but only when space is available. For spring matriculation, November 1 is the deadline for all master’s and Ed.S. programs (except for School Psychology and Higher Education and Student Affairs, which do not have spring admissions). For summer matriculation, March 1 is the deadline (see exceptions on chart). It should be noted that most fellowships, assistantships, and fee scholarships are awarded to doctoral students only. Applicants are encouraged to contact the chairperson of the department to which they are applying for the latest information regarding financial assistance.
Return to Admission Procedures Application Deadlines for International StudentsInternational applicants must submit their application to the Office of International Admissions as described above. Applicants are advised to submit all application materials well in advance of the final deadlines. All applications for Ph.D. programs for summer or fall admission must be received by the Office of International Admissions by December 1. However, Counseling Psychology Ph.D., School Psychology Ph.D., and Ed.S. applicants should send all materials to the Office of International Admissions by November 1. The application deadline for fall admission to all other graduate degree programs is March 1, except for Learning and Developmental Sciences and Student Affairs Administration, which have a January 15 deadline. Applications for spring admission must be received by September 1. Return to Admission Procedures Admission DecisionsIt is crucial that each applicant submit a complete application file. No application for admission can be considered by a department until all supporting materials are received, including transcripts, letters of recommendation, GRE scores, and, for students whose first language is not English, TOEFL scores. Applications are held by the Office of Graduate Studies and are not forwarded to departments for admission decisions until all required documents are assembled. Only then are applications reviewed by faculty members in the relevant department or program area. For applications to Bloomington programs, departments and program areas make their admission recommendations to the associate dean for graduate studies after reviewing applications. Once an admission decision has been approved by the associate dean, the applicant receives an official letter indicating admission action. For applications to Indianapolis programs, program area faculty committees make admission recommendations to the director of student services, who sends each applicant a letter indicating admission action. Return to Admission Procedures Admission Categories
Special Student Status Credit hours earned during special student status may or may not be counted in graduate programs. The department chair or program head and the associate dean of graduate studies must approve the inclusion of courses taken during special student status in degree and licensure programs. Such approval may be granted only after the student has been admitted to a graduate program. The maximum number of credit hours earned during special student status that may be used in a degree program is 15. On the Bloomington campus, applications for special student status may be made by contacting the distance education registrar, deregstr@indiana.edu; Wright Education 2100, (812) 856-8548. In Indianapolis, application for special student status may be made in Education/Social Work 3131, (317) 274-6868. Distance Education Online or Web-based courses are conducted entirely on the Internet. Online chat sessions may be part of some of these courses. Students with e-mail and Internet access may read and respond to course material on their own schedules, as long as work is completed by designated times. All distance education courses follow the semester timeline, beginning and ending at the same time as traditional classes. Fees for online courses vary depending on the program and course structure. In most situations, students who are already enrolled at Indiana University pay the same fee as they would for an on-campus course. Other students usually pay in-state tuition plus $35 per credit hour. As distance education programs develop, this fee structure is subject to change. Students may register for courses in non-degree-granting programs online at www.indiana.edu/~disted/. At the current time, distance education students in degree-granting programs must register through the regular system (see Registration Procedure). For answers to frequently asked questions, see www.indiana.edu/~disted/support.html. For answers to specific questions, send an e-mail to deregstr@indiana.edu. Return to Admission Procedures
Enrollment in ClassesRegistration Procedure Registration ProcedureStudents admitted to the Bloomington campus before July for fall matriculation will be sent a current Enrollment Bulletin by the university registrar. Students admitted after July and students admitted for matriculation in the spring or summer terms will receive an Enrollment Bulletin during new student registration. Students admitted to the Bloomington campus may access the schedule of classes at registrar.indiana.edu. For Bloomington students, the online schedule of classes lists all courses to be taught in the subsequent term, with meeting times, meeting locations, and instructors. Students admitted to IUPUI may access the schedule of classes at www.registrar.iupui.edu/. The first step in the registration procedure for education students is to meet with your advisor. At the Bloomington campus, students can register in one of two ways: (1) through OneStart, a self-service Web-based registration system available at onestart.iu.edu, and (2) in person at the Registration Center in Franklin Hall, Room 101. For more information and instructions on registration, visit the Office of the Registrar’s Web site at registrar.indiana.edu. Indianapolis students may register online at onestart.iu.edu. More information is available at www.registrar.iupui.edu. All students wishing to enroll in graduate courses must have an admission status, either (a) unconditional or conditional, (b) licensure program, or (c) special nondegree student status. Return to Enrollment in Classes Auditing CoursesStudents may register for courses on an audit basis. Audited courses are listed on the student’s transcript but carry no credit, and no grade is recorded. Students are not allowed to audit classes without registering as an auditor. The registration fee for auditing classes at Bloomington is currently $25 per credit hour. The registration fee for auditing classes at Indianapolis is the same as the fee for taking the class for credit. Return to Enrollment in Classes Temporary Intercampus TransferStudents admitted to a program on one campus of Indiana University may take courses on other IU campuses. To take courses on another campus for one semester or summer session, a student must obtain a temporary intercampus transfer form, available at the Office of Graduate Studies on the campus at which the student was admitted. Return to Enrollment in Classes Changing CampusesStudents admitted to a master’s degree or licensure program who wish to be admitted to the counterpart program on another campus must request by letter that the Office of Graduate Studies/Student Services at the campus of origin send all transcripts, test scores, the goal statement, and letters of recommendation to the destination campus. They must also send a letter to the graduate admission office at the destination campus requesting admission to the program of choice. In addition, they must submit a new application form, since these forms are unique to each campus. This application will be processed as a new application for admission. Return to Enrollment in Classes Housing InformationAt the Bloomington campus most graduate students reside in university residence halls and apartments or in private houses and apartments in and around Bloomington. Information about university housing can be obtained from Halls of Residence, Indiana University, 801 N. Jordan Avenue, Bloomington, IN 47405-2107, (812-855-5601). At IUPUI, there are various options available for on-campus housing. Campus apartments on the River Walk offer a residential learning experience in a whole new learning community. The Office of Housing and Residence Life is the guide to housing and living on campus.
