Requirements

Entry Requirements

Graduation from a high school accredited by a state Department of Public Instruction.
The extent to which the student meets or exceeds the following minimum requirements:
- High School GPA of 3.0.
- Completion of Core 40 including chemistry and 4 years of math including trigonometry or pre-calculus.
- Minimum SAT scores of 550 math and 480 critical reading or ACT scores of 24 math and 20 verbal.
You must provide the results of your SAT or ACT, including the Written Section of the test (scores must be received at IUPUI by May 1). If your class has graduated and a fall semester has passed since you graduated, you do not need to take the SAT or ACT. Though test results are considered during the admission review, we do not deny students strictly based on their test results. The SAT or ACT is most important when considering you for dual admission to your intended major and scholarship consideration.
For admission to the engineering programs, minimum SAT scores of 480 verbal (critical reading) and 550 mathematics or minimum ACT scores of 20 English and 24 mathematics are required.
Because of a limitation on the total number of applicants that may be accepted as first-year students, out-of-state admissions may close at any time. When it becomes necessary to limit the number of Indiana residents accepted for a specific program, students will be offered admission to an alternate program or admission to the desired program for a subsequent semester.

English Requirements

English Program Requirements

Students who are admitted with TOEFL iBT of 60-94 or IELTS of 5.5-6.5 will take the English for Academic Purposes (EAP) placement test. Admitted students with Duolingo scores will also be required to take the EAP placement test. Depending on your EAP test results, you may take EAP courses at the same time as your academic major courses for one or two semesters. Your letter of admission will indicate if you are required to take this test.

IUPUI requires all fall international freshmen to officially accept their offer of admission by paying a nonrefundable $100 enrollment deposit.

Once your deposit is received, it will be marked as such on your student record. This will allow you to register for student orientation (which takes place virtually during the summer). Your deposit will be applied to your first tuition bill.

You can pay your deposit online. If you were admitted by May 1, pay your deposit by June 1. If you were admitted after May 1, pay your deposit within three weeks of admission. As a reminder, your deposit is not refundable if you decide to attend somewhere other than IUPUI.
