Our application process is simple, straightforward, and convenient—and we can help you every step of the way.
Step 1: Complete the Application for Admission
Perhaps the easiest way to apply is to complete our online
application. If you prefer the pen-and-paper format, printed applications can be obtained by:
Step 2: Send Your Application Fee
The nonrefundable application fee is $45. Your check or money order (payable to Indiana University South Bend)
should be submitted with your application. If you apply online, you will pay the application fee with a credit
card.
Step 3: Submit Your Credentials
Applicable official transcripts (high school and college transcripts and/or GED test scores) should be sent to the
Office of Admissions directly from your high school or college. Transcript request forms are available from the Office
of Admissions. Current high school students must also submit a recommendation from their
counselor.
Step 4: Submit Your SAT or ACT Test Scores
Unless you have been out of school for three years or more, you
should submit your SAT and/or ACT test results to IU South Bend.
When you register for a test, make sure to ask that your score be
sent to IU South Bend; our SAT code is 1339 and our ACT code is
1225. The scores are also usually recorded on your official high
school transcript.
Step 5: Investigate Your Financial Aid Options
To apply for financial aid, submit both the IU South Bend Application for Financial Aid and the Free Application for
Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Both forms are available from the Office of Financial Aid and must be submitted by March 1
to ensure priority financial aid consideration. Visit the
Office of Financial Aid Web site for more information.
Step 6: Placement Testing
All first-time students and transfer students with fewer than 26 credit hours must take placement exams in reading
and mathematics, unless otherwise indicated. There is also an optional placement exam in English. The results will be
used to place you in the courses appropriate to your skill level. Incoming students who have studied French, German,
and/or Spanish are encouraged to take the appropriate foreign language exam for placement purposes. There is no charge
for taking the exams and you do not need an appointment. Visit the
Office of Student Services for current exam schedules, sample test
questions, and upcoming placement preparation workshops.
Step 7: Advising and Registration
Students who have been admitted to IU South Bend will be invited to an academic advising and course registration
session prior to the beginning of the semester.
Step 8: Pay Your Bill
When your registration is complete, you will receive a schedule confirmation and account statement. Visit the
Bursar Services Web site for payment deadlines
and procedures.
