Transcripts
Upload transcripts and/or academic documents for every institution of higher education you attended to the online application. If a transcript is not in English, upload an English translation certified by the college issuing the transcript. We do not require hard copies of transcripts for application review. You do not need to physically mail any documents for admissions purposes.
Applicants with a bachelor’s, master’s or professional degree from a non-U.S. institution are encouraged to submit an official course-by-course transcript evaluation completed by one of the following credential evaluators:
All transcripts and/or academic documents uploaded with the online application are considered unofficial. Your unofficial transcript will be used for application review and admission. If you are admitted, you must submit your official hard copy transcripts. If you are currently finishing your bachelor’s degree, you must submit a document that certifies the awarding of the degree.
We accept official electronic transcripts submitted directly from the awarding institution. Those transcripts can be submitted to our admissions team at LuddyGRD@iu.edu.
We do not require transcripts from Indiana University campuses.

Submit proof of English proficiency if your native language is not English. Minimum score required: 100 TOEFL or 7.5 IELTS.

Upload a copy of your test score results in the Documents Section (under Test Score Report upload option) on the online application. TOEFL test results may also be sent through ETS to IUPUI school code 1325.
