Visiting Students - Undergraduate

There are opportunities at Indiana University Indianapolis to take courses outside of a degree program as a visiting student at the undergraduate level of study.

Status as any type of visiting student does not imply or guarantee future enrollment at IU Indianapolis beyond the approved term(s).

What type of visiting student are you? 

Transient Student: You attend a U.S. university and will remain enrolled there or plan to return to your home institution after taking course(s) during a summer term at Indiana University Indianapolis. If you are on an Fl or J1 visa, you will not need to provide financial documentation for immigration documents.

Special Student: You want to take a few classes at IU Indianapolis for personal or professional growth, but not to earn a degree. You will need to fulfill all the requirements for regular admission to IU Indianapolis.  If you are currently on B1 or B2 visa, then you must submit the B Study Restrictions form with your application to certify you understand the limitations to enrollment.

Visiting/Exchange Program Students:  You are participating in an official IU Indianapolis visiting student/exchange program based on special program arrangements between your home institution and IU Indianapolis. You will need to follow the admission processes stipulated by the agreement that governs enrollment at IU Indianapolis.  First check with your exchange or program advisor at your home institution for guidance on the application process, requirements, and deadlines. 

Tuition and fees

As a visiting student you will pay full undergraduate tuition rates. Visiting students are not eligible for IU Indianapolis international merit scholarships.
