Standard Indiana University Eligibility Requirements

Indiana University Bloomington is committed to maintaining a safe learning environment. As part of that commitment, Indiana University requires all applicants to disclose if they

    • have been subject to formal disciplinary action (including for example, but not limited to, suspension or expulsion for academic or non-academic reasons at a high school, post-secondary institution, college or university;
    • have been charged with or convicted of a crime (or a foreign legal equivalent) that has not been expunged by a court;
    • and\or have engaged in behavior that caused injury to person(s) or personal property (including for example, but not limited to, vandalism or behavior that led to a restraining order) which resulted in some form of discipline or intervention.

Students who have been subject to formal disciplinary action and/or have been charged or convicted of a crime and/or have engaged in injurious behavior as described above do not qualify for guaranteed admission to IU Bloomington. Please note, however, that a previous disciplinary action, charge, conviction, or conduct of the sort identified above does not automatically disqualify applicants from admission to IU, but they do require review by the campus admissions committee.
