UIndy Guest and Summer Students

Applying to take a Guest Course at UIndy

If you're enrolled at another university but would like to take a course at the University of Indianapolis, you've found the right place. To be a guest student, you must be in good academic standing at your home institution and must have met any prerequisites for the courses you want to take.

Many guest students find convenience in taking summer courses at UIndy, which has several advantages:

• Summer classes can help you stay on track to graduate in four years. If you're a student at another college or university, taking courses that will transfer back to your school will help you accomplish this closer to home.
• Summer term is shorter, so you'll have more time for other activities.
• Taking classes during the summer can free up your fall and winter schedules for other electives.
• You can meet students from other colleges & universities.
• You'll earn credits from a U.S. News & World Report top-tier Midwest university.

Follow the instructions below to apply and register for classes.

Current UIndy Students

If you're currently a student at UIndy, you DO NOT need to apply again and can simply register for summer courses following the usual registration procedure in My UIndy/UIndy Self Service. You may be eligible for some financial aid if you have remaining eligibility from the current academic year.

Non-UIndy Students

If you're currently a student in good standing pursuing a degree at another accredited college or university, you can take guest courses at UIndy. Here's how:

1. Decide which classes to take
   View the course offerings. If you are planning to take upper-level courses, we may need to verify that you have fulfilled any prerequisites.
2. Apply for admission as a guest student
   Complete the guest student application. (Select the Graduate/Doctoral, Adult, 2nd degree & Guest Students application.) You also will need to provide an unofficial copy of your transcripts. An unofficial transcript includes all current and previous courses attempted, grades earned, student’s name, identifying information, and the institution’s full name. The transcript is used to verify prerequisite completion and student standing at their home institution.
3. Register for classes
   Once your application and transcripts have been processed and accepted, you'll get a welcome email that contains instructions for how to set up your UIndy email account and register for courses. You can activate your account as soon as you receive the instructions. It’s important for guest students to create their UIndy email account and check this account frequently.
4. Make sure your credits will transfer back to your home institution
   Check with the registrar at your college or university to make sure the credits from the classes you take at UIndy will transfer back to your program. The Transferology and TransferIN websites are helpful tools in figuring out which credits might transfer, but are not a final authority. You should check with your registrar to be sure.

Cost & Financial Aid

See Cost & Financial Aid for Summer Courses

Costs vary for fall and spring semesters. You can view full tuition rates here. Independent study, internships and practica are not available for guest students. Unfortunately, guest students are not eligible for financial aid. Federal regulations mandate that students only receive financial aid at the school where they will get their degree. You can set up a payment plan through the Office of Student Billing and Payments, which will allow you to pay the tuition balance in installments.
