That's okay! If you unsure as to what your next steps are, don't hesitate to reach out to your admissions counselor, academic advisor, or the University College office at any point! We'll be able to tell you what you've completed, what still needs to be done, and in what order you should complete your tasks. Getting a head start in early spring (for fall enrollment) is highly encouraged. A head start helps ensure you get the classes you want at the times you want and lets you relax over the summer knowing you're ready to start in the fall.
The Annual Security and Fire Safety Report, containing policy statements, crime and fire statistics for all Indiana University campuses, is available online. You may also request a physical copy by emailing IU Public Safety at iups@iu.edu or by visiting IUPD.
