Checklist for Accepted Students 

Now that you have been admitted to Â鶹ֱ²¥, it is time to start thinking about your college journey and planning for all the amazing things you'll do as a new student.

To get started, here's some vital information about your next steps to enroll at Â鶹ֱ²¥. 

1. Accept your offer of admission.

• To officially reserve your place at Â鶹ֱ²¥, pay your nonrefundable $100 enrollment deposit (which will be applied toward your first semester fees).

2. Register for an Accepted Student Day.

Choosing the college that's right for you is an important decision, so we want you to have as much information about us as possible. That's why we host Accepted Student Days for admitted students. .

At an Accepted Student Day, you will:

Participation is not required but is highly encouraged.

3. Register for New Student Orientation.

Our New Student Orientation Program ensures you are well-informed about your next steps to prepare for a great academic year. You'll register for classes, learn about campus amenities, services, and traditions, explore student organizations, and begin making lifelong friendships. Attending an orientation session is mandatory for new students.

4. Apply for financial aid.

After October 1 of your high school senior year, you can apply for financial aid for your first semester of college.

• Create a student account and complete your housing application.
• If you live on campus, we must receive your $200 housing deposit before processing your room assignment.  .

We will notify you once we've reviewed your form if your request is approved or denied.

7. Ensure we have your transcripts.

• When you graduate from high school, request your final high school transcript be sent to Â鶹ֱ²¥.
• If you already have some college credit—including credit for dual-credit courses that you completed during high school—request college transcripts for all completed coursework be sent to Â鶹ֱ²¥.
• You may receive advanced placement and/or college credit for certain courses if you successfully completed College Board Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB), CLEP, or other exams.

Once received, faculty advisors in the school or academic department offering your chosen major will evaluate the credits and whether they apply to your Â鶹ֱ²¥ degree program.

8. Make payment arrangements

• Once you are registered for classes, we will send you a bill that includes the balance due for your upcoming semester tuition, fees, and (if you will live on campus) room and board.
• The bill will include a due date by which we must confirm payment arrangements. If your bill is not paid in full or if payment arrangements have not been made by the due date, you will be subject to late fees.
• We offer convenient monthly payment options, which allow you to spread all or part of your expenses over a period of time. Administered by Nelnet, Inc., payment plans are available for all students and/or parents.
• If you have questions, contact our Business Office at 317.955.6020 or 800.952.3917 for information.

9. Finalize last-minute details

We take student success seriously. To ensure your semester gets off to a great start, we created Knight Quest, an event for students and families who need to finalize or confirm information to complete the acceptance and registration process before classes begin.

• You may not move into your room in a campus residence hall or attend classes until you have completed all required admission forms and documents.
• If you do not complete Knight Quest, you will be administratively withdrawn from your classes for the semester.
• If you are a new student-athlete competing in one of our athletic programs, your coach or program director will notify you if you must attend an early Knight Quest session.
