Admission
Non-Degree Students
Undergraduate Non-Degree Program
Students who hold a bachelor's degree from IU Indianapolis or another university may register at IU Indianapolis as Undergraduate Non-Degree students. This enrollment status is desirable for students who need to take a small number of undergraduate courses in order to apply for medical school or other professional programs in, for example, dentistry, occupational therapy, optometry, pharmacy, physical therapy, and veterinary medicine. Students enrolled as undergraduate non-degree pay undergraduate tuition and fees, but may only register for undergraduate courses.
Undergraduate non-degree students who enroll in graduate courses may be administratively withdrawn from these courses and may forfeit tuition and associated fees. Undergraduate non-degree students may seek academic advising through the School of Science. Students enrolled as undergraduate non-degree are eligible for student loans only, provided they have not used up their undergraduate financial aid eligibility. They may also seek loans or support through banks or other financial institutions. Students enrolled as undergraduate non-degree are not eligible for other forms of financial aid through IU Indianapolis.
Graduate Non-Degree Program
Students who normally select the graduate non-degree classification are those whose intent is to take course work for personal enrichment. A student who wishes to become a candidate for an advanced degree should consult with the chosen major department at the time of application for admission as a graduate non-degree student. The major department will advise applicants of the procedure for obtaining status as a degree-seeking student. An application to become a graduate non-degree student is obtained through the IU Graduate School of Indianapolis here. Additional information can be obtained at the IU Graduate School of Indianapolis, University Library, Room UL 1170, 755 W. Michigan Street, Indianapolis, IN 46202; telephone (317) 274-1577.
No more than 9 hours of credit earned under this classification may be used in a plan of study for an Indiana University degree program without approval of the major department.
