Students may apply for admission to Tier One when they apply for admission to IU Southeast and to Tier Two at any time after they enter the university. Admission to the program takes into account numerous factors, including grade point average, ACT/SAT scores, class rank, evidence of intellectual curiosity, recommendations by teachers and university faculty members, extracurricular activities, and, ideally, an informal conversation with the Honors Program Director and members of the Honors Council. Students may also be nominated by secondary school or university faculty members with knowledge of their intellectual habits and abilities.

The Honors Program at Indiana University Southeast recognizes that excellence takes many forms, and that a rigid adherence to particular formulae about exam scores and GPAs might exclude diamonds in the rough, or those who are just finding their academic and intellectual stride. Thus, while the HP Director and Council expect to see evidence of academic interest, potential, and achievement, and an excellent work ethic, they also intend to look at individual students as human beings, with a view to both how the program can enrich their experience, and to what the student can bring to the Honors Program and the Indiana University Southeast community.
