    Using your university ID, you can log into Slate and use the checklists to guide you through important tasks you need to complete. Look under the requests section for the Transfer Application Checklist for steps to finalize your admission and obtain your immigration document. The Pre-Arrival Checklist will help prepare you for attending New Student Orientation and coming to the U.S.

  • If you have more than 12 credit hours of transfer coursework, you can choose to live on or off campus. We recommend you live on campus during your first year, as it’s the best way to plug into a community of people and start making friends. If you want to live off-campus, you will need to apply for aÌýresidency exemption. The housing contract and application are typically available in February for the upcoming fall semester. Learn more about the residency requirement and housing application process on the 91°µÍø Housing website.

    All new students are required to attend orientation, which is where you will learn what is expected of you as an 91°µÍø student and register for your first semester classes. You'll need to complete your intent to enroll before making a reservation for orientation. Invitations will begin sending in March or April. Make your reservation as soon as you receive your official invitation!

  • Submit final transcripts

    Incoming transfer students are required to have final secondary school transcripts sent to the Office of International Services before beginning at 91°µÍø. All documents must be official and original (no photocopies or notarized copies). English translations must be provided for all non-English language documents.

  • Transfer your SEVIS record to 91°µÍø

    If you are currently studying in the U.S. as an F-1 student, you will need to transfer your SEVIS record to Indiana University.

  • Submit your immunization form

    Indiana state law requires all new students to submit immunization data. Before your first day of classes, you must complete and submit the Online Immunization Compliance form, where you will be asked to provide dates and documentation of immunizations for specific diseases.

Choosing housing and roommates

If you would like a specific roommate, you each should request the other as roommate, list your housing preferences in identical order, and submit your housing applications during the same priority window.
