Re-Admission Application

Re-Admission Application

Returning Indiana State students must apply for re-admission if they: 

• have not attended Indiana State for more than two calendar years; or
• wish to continue studies after completion of an Indiana State degree; or
• have been Academically Dismissed from Indiana State. 

Applicants normally receive a response within two weeks of receipt of all application materials. 

See Re-Admission Application Instructions Below:

1. Apply online.
2. Send official transcripts. If you have attended any colleges or universities during your absence from Indiana State we must have official transcripts from those institutions forwarded to the Office of Admissions. (See important information below.)
3. Send a copy of your Permanent Resident Card, if applicable.
4. Application Fee:  None

Transcripts

• Returning Students
  If you’ve taken classes at Indiana State University before, you do not need to order an Indiana State transcript. We already have access to your coursework here.
• What Makes a Transcript “Final”?: A transcript is considered final when:
  • It shows no coursework in progress.
  • If applicable, it lists your graduation date.
• What Makes a Transcript “Official”?
  For domestic transcripts:
  • Must come directly from the issuing institution to Indiana State; must not pass through the student’s hands.
  • Delivery options:
    • Email: admissions@indstate.edu
    • Mail:
      Indiana State University
      Office of Admissions
      318 North 6th St
      Terre Haute, IN 47809
    • Electronic services such as Parchment or National Student Clearinghouse
• Freshmen and Transfer Students Applying for Undergraduate Programs
  • To make a provisional admission decision, we can accept an official transcript that does not need to be final.
  • You can register for your first semester without submitting a final transcript if there is not a gap of at least one spring or fall semester between graduation/coursework completion and starting at Indiana State.
    • Example: Graduate Spring 2026 → Start Fall 2026 = OK
  • You must submit a final official transcript before registering for your second semester.
    If there is a gap (e.g., graduate Spring 2026 → start Spring 2027), we must receive your final official transcript(s) before making an admission decision.

Deadlines

To ensure full consideration, application materials must be received before the following dates. Early application is encouraged.

• Fall semester – August 1
• Spring semester – December 1
• Summer semester – May 1

Applications received after these deadlines will be accepted and every attempt made to ensure consideration for the desired semester or term.

Military-affiliated students who are not Indiana residents will be granted the Indiana resident tuition rate upon admission.

Readmission Requirements

Students are eligible for unconditional re-admission if they left Indiana State University in good academic standing—and maintained at least a 2.0 cumulative grade point average at any other institutions attended.

Additional Requirements for Academically-Dismissed Students

The applications of students who do not meet the re-admission requirements will be reviewed on an individual basis by the Office of Admissions and the academic dean of the college of the student's intended major.

During application review, you will receive an email to your personal email from the Office of Admissions with a link to additional re-admission questions for you to complete.

The completed re-admission application, additional re-admission questions, and new official transcript(s) sent directly from the issuing institution must be received by the Office of Admissions by the deadline. Applications completed and materials received after the deadline will be automatically considered for the next available term.
