How to Apply as a Freshman

1. Determine Your Status

You may apply to Indiana State University as a freshman if:

• You're a current high school student and have completed your junior year in high school.
• You've graduated high school and have not attended another college since graduating.
• You've completed Indiana’s High School Equivalency (HSE) or GED and have not enrolled in any colleges.

2. Check Important Deadlines

We accept freshman applications throughout the year. Priority deadlines are:

• Fall semester: June 1
• Spring semester: December 1
• Summer session: May 1

Note: Applications received after these deadlines will still be accepted, and we will attempt to have you enroll in your desired semester or term.

3. Review Admission Requirements

Applicants must fulfill the following requirements:

• Complete a rigorous college preparatory curriculum (Core 40 curriculum for Indiana residents).
• Maintain a cumulative grade-point average of 2.4 or higher on a 4.0 scale.

4. Apply to Indiana State University

Create an account to begin. You can always save and return to your application. Be sure to carefully review your information before submitting.

Note: it is important to use an email address that will stay with you after high school graduation. Please do not use your high school email address, as it will be deactivated.

You will need to pay a nonrefundable $25.00 application fee to apply. The fee is payable by Visa, Mastercard, or Discover credit card.

5. Submit Application Materials

These may include:

• High school transcripts: The transcript must be sent directly from your high school to Indiana State University electronically or through mail. Note: Official HSE and GED scores may be substituted for high school transcripts.
