How to Apply: High School and First-Time College Students
You’ll actually apply for admission online through the IU Indianapolis Office of Admissions. We encourage you to apply for direct admission, which allows you to enter IU Indianapolis as a Luddy School of Informatics, Computing, and Engineering student your very first semester. To pursue direct admission, you must list your intended major or certificate on your IU Indianapolis admissions application and meet eligibility criteria.
Another option is to start in IU Indianapolis’ University College, where you’ll begin taking courses, declare your major and then certify into the Luddy School of Informatics, Computing, and Engineering early in your college career. To certifiy into the Luddy School of Informatics, Computing, and Engineering from University College, you will need to have achieved the following: 2.5 gpa, 12 credits of completed coursework and a grade of C-or higher in the following courses; LIS-S201 (Applied Data and Information Science majors), AIS 10000 (Artificial Intelligence majors), INFO-I201 (Biomedical Informatics), HIM-M108 (Health Information Management majors), INFO-I101 (Informatics majors) and NEWM-N100 (Media Arts and Science majors).
But that doesn’t stop you from immediately joining one of our student groups, meeting with our advisors and becoming part of the informatics community.
