The Indiana Promise

A shared commitment to your success

At IU Bloomington, we believe that Ï㽶ÊÓƵs and the university share responsibility for creating a community where everyone can learn, grow, and thrive. The Indiana Promise outlines what it means to be part of the IU community. This is a promise that Ï㽶ÊÓƵs make to themselves and each other—a promise to be active and engaged in their own Hoosier experience.

Fulfill the promise that defines what it means to be a Hoosier

Indiana University is a community built on the foundations of academic excellence, personal development, and social responsibility. The expectations of this community include: Engaging in rigorous intellectual inquiry and artistic creativity, recognizing each individual’s accountability for his or her own behavior, and appreciating the contributions made by all community members.

The Indiana Promise expresses your commitment to these values and acknowledges the importance of your active participation in the IU experience. This promise is made by you both to Indiana University and to yourself.

The Indiana Promise is about engaging fully in your academics, owning up to and learning from your mistakes, celebrating your successes, and being a positive member of the community.

I promise that . . .

  • I will be ethical in my academic work.
  • I will take personal responsibility for what I say and what I do.
  • I will respect the dignity of others, treating them with civility and understanding.
