Special Admission
Social Security Number Policy
In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974 and Indiana P122 of 1977,
students or applicants are advised that the requested disclosure of
their Social Security Number is voluntary. The student has the right to
refuse disclosure of this number or request its removal from records. A
special ten-digit student ID number will then be assigned for use with
the university. The Social Security Number will be used to identify the
students’ permanent records such as transcript, registration, grade
reports, transcript requests, as an identifier for financial aid programs,
and to determine eligibility, certify school attendance, and report
student status. The student’s Social Security Number is not disclosed
to individuals or agencies outside IU except in accordance with the
IU Policy on Release of Student Information. Please note that if you
receive any form of federal aid or several forms of state aid, you will be
required to provide your Social Security Number so that your aid may be
processed.
Undergraduate Non-Degree: Applicants who are over 21 years of age
and have earned a high school diploma or GED may apply for admission as a non-degree student and can remain in this classification for
a maximum of 12 credit hours. Applicants must submit the regular
application for admission and the nonrefundable $35 application fee.
Non-degree-seeking applicants to IU East may also be admitted to one
of several special categories:
Graduate Non-Degree: Applicants who have previously completed a
bachelor’s degree may apply for admission as a graduate non-degree
student by submitting this application for admission and the nonrefundable $40 application fee. Graduate non-degree students are not
admitted to an advanced degree program. Please declare your major as

admitted to another college or university and who plan to enroll for a
limited period of time before returning to their home institution may
apply for admission as visiting students. Please submit this application and the nonrefundable $35 application fee. Please declare your
major as Visiting on question 15.
Criminal Activity Disclosure Policy
IU East is committed to maintaining a safe environment for all
members of the university community. As part of this commitment, the
university requires applicants who have been convicted of any felony or
a misdemeanor such as simple battery or other convictions for behavior
that resulted in injury to a person(s) or personal property to disclose
this information as a mandatory step in the application process. A
previous conviction or previous conduct does not automatically bar
admission to the university but does require review.
High School: Applicants who are currently in high school and who
have successfully completed their junior year may apply for admission by submitting the regular application for admission, an official
high school transcript, and written permission from their high school
principal or guidance counselor. Applicants who have not completed

to the program. These activities foster good citizenship on campus and in the
community. Internship Program
Admitted IU East students with a cumulative high school GPA of 3.7 or

Four-Year Admission-Based And Merit Scholarships
Four-year admission-based and merit scholarships are awarded for academic performance and in recognition of academic achievement. By rewarding excellence through scholarships, we hope to encourage students to continue their education at IU East.
Applicants for admission to IU East become eligible for admission-based scholarships when they submit an admission application
by March 1 that meets academic criteria for the particular scholarship. Merit scholarships are awarded on a competitive basis and
require a separate application. Since beginning freshman students are considered for admission-based scholarships immediately
upon admission to IU East, they are urged to apply for admission as early as possible, preferably in the fall of their senior year in
high school. Students meeting criteria for admission-based scholarships will be contacted once the admission process is complete
and sent a notification of the scholarships for which they are eligible. They will also receive an application for merit and any other
competitive scholarships available. Students can receive only one four-year admission-based or merit scholarship, the highest one
for which they are eligible or selected.
Please note that tuition and fees for resident students at IU East for 15 credits of coursework per semester for the
2013-2014 academic year are approximately $6,786.78, depending on the courses taken. For updated information on tuition and
fees, please visit iue.edu/bursar.
