Eligibility

Ivy Tech students are eligible for admission to UIndy once they have:

  1. Completed their application for admission to the University of Indianapolis
  2. Course grades are at least a C (2.0 cumulative GPA on a 4-point scale)

 

If you have questions about how your credits may transfer to UIndy, please utilize our online Transfer Equivalency tool.

Students may also request a preliminary transfer credit report prior to admission to see how their current credits fit into UIndy’s bachelor’s curriculum, as well as one-on-one support from a personal transfer admissions counselor throughout the entire process. Once students apply and are accepted into the University, they can expect to receive an official credit transfer report reflecting incoming credits as early as one week following admission. Also, admitted students have immediate access to a major advisor, specific to their area of study, through academic advising.

    Be sure to communicate with your Ivy Tech Transfer Advocate at your local Ivy Tech campus to begin your journey of transferring to UIndy to earn your bachelor’s degree. This would also be the perfect time to connect with our Transfer Admissions Counselor so they can remain vigilant of your needs leading up to the transfer.

  • FILE YOUR FAFSA
    Begin working on your financial aid by completing the FAFSA and revising it by adding UIndy’s school code: 001804. Then, complete the UIndy Aid Application (UAPP) to determine if there is additional aid in which you may be eligible.
  • STAY ON TOP OF YOUR GRADES
    While you finish up the rest of your coursework at Ivy Tech Community College, stay on top of your grades. Your final grades in the courses you currently are taking matter in your course transfer eligibility to UIndy. You must maintain a C average or higher. 
  • STAY ORGANIZED FOR DEADLINES
    Stay organized to avoid missing important admission or program deadlines at UIndy. 
  • PAYMENT & FINANCIAL AID
    Make sure payment arrangements and financial aid requirements are finalized by the time of transfer to UIndy. We know this one can be a lot to digest and figure out, so if you have questions, please don't hesitate to reach out directly to our Transfer Admissions Counselor for assistance! 
  • ATTEND AN ORIENTATION
    Make sure you schedule and attend a New Transfer Student Orientation after you've been accepted to UIndy and prior to attending classes.
  • PROVIDE YOUR OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPTS
    Send your official college and high school transcripts once you have completed your degree to us by one of the following ways:
    • Ask Ivy Tech and your previous high school institution* to mail official transcripts to the University of Indianapolis, ATTN: Admissions Office, 1400 E Hanna Ave., Indianapolis, IN 46227
    • Ask Ivy Tech and your previous high school institution* if it has an electronic transcript ordering system. Transcripts can be sent electronically to undergradtranscripts@uindy.edu.
    • Pick up your transcripts in person, and deliver them to UIndy at the address above. Please do not open the transcripts as they will be considered unofficial if open at the time of delivery.

 

*UIndy does not need your high school transcripts if you will have earned your associate's degree by the time you officially start classes with us.

It's important to become connected with UIndy's Stephen F. Fry Professional Edge Center (Pro Edge) right away. You're much closer to the real world and your professional career than our traditional freshmen students. As a Greyhound, you will receive support guidance from Pro Edge as you begin planning for internship opportunities during college and your professional career following graduation. 

The Perfect Fit

Located on approximately 90 acres just 10 minutes from downtown Indianapolis, our students enjoy an urban experience at a small, close-knit campus. It’s small enough to get personalized attention but big enough to support a variety of diverse populations throughout. You'll enjoy smaller, more intimate class sizes where you will receive personalized attention from your professors. You won’t become lost in a sea of people throughout a lecture hall.

Student Organizations

Chemistry Club, Black Student Association, Food Recovery Network, Gamers’ Club, Student Organization of Latinos, Sustainability Club, UIndy Pride, Women in Leadership - these are just a few of UIndy's on-campus 70+ Registered Student Organizations (RSO). Some are service-oriented, degree or academic-based, or special-interest focused, but all provide our students with opportunities to explore their interests, grow personally, professionally, or academically, develop valuable skills, or express themselves freely within a supportive community.
