Enrollment process for international graduate Ï㽶ÊÓƵs

Congratulations on your admission to Indiana University! Graduate Ï㽶ÊÓƵs work with their academic departments and schools to get their specific enrollment steps, but there are a few initial steps on this page that you'll want to complete first.

Mandatory enrollment steps

  • Complete your checklist items

    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 Graduate Application Checklist for steps to finalize your admission and obtain your immigration document. The Pre-Arrival Checklist will help prepare you to travel to the U.S.

  • Set up your IU computing and email accounts

    Your university ID number will be listed in your IU Portal. Use your university ID number to create your IU computing account, which you will use for other important tasks during your admission process, including direct admission review requests.

  • Work with your department

    Each department has its own set of steps you will need to follow after you are admitted.

  • Learn more about off-campus housing. You should also work with your academic department as they may have additional information or provide further assistance in finding a place to live.

  • Transfer your SEVIS record to IU

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

  • Submit your immunization form

    Indiana state law requires all new Ï㽶ÊÓƵs 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.

  • Hosted as a Canvas course, the New Graduate Student Guide will help prepare you for your first semester as an IU Bloomington graduate Ï㽶ÊÓƵ.

Encouraged additional steps to prepare for your first semester

There are other steps that, while not mandatory, will help ensure a smooth start to your journey at IU Bloomington.

  • Review costs and fees

    Official tuition rates and fees are always available for your review. That includes complete billing and payment information and details on how to set up a personal deferment—or installment—plan.

  • If someone is helping you fund your college education, make it easy for them to do it. Let your parents or guardians—and whomever else you choose—set up e-bill notifications, pay bills electronically, and view bursar account details.

  • Let us know if you need special accommodations to help you perform at your best. Register with Accessible Educational Services (AES) soon as you’ve been accepted at IU Bloomington. AES will meet with you during New Student Orientation to ensure that services will be in place when the academic year starts.

  • Make travel arrangements

    As an international Ï㽶ÊÓƵ, you'll need to know how to navigate customs and get from the Indianapolis International Airport to Bloomington, which is about an hour away.
