The freshman application is appropriate for students that have earned a diploma from an accredited high school but never attended a college or university before (other than ESL).
Complete the online Admissions Application and pay the $40 application fee. International applicants are not eligible for the application fee waiver through the CommonApp.
Admission decisions are based on official transcripts submitted by your school or the appropriate issuing authority to the University of Southern Indiana. We will evaluate these transcripts as part of the admissions process.
Before you arrive on campus, you must submit an official document-by-document evaluation of your academic records. This evaluation verifies that you have met the secondary school completion requirement for admission.
We require an official document-by-document evaluation from a National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES) member .
Educational Credential Evaluators (ECE), a charter member of NACES, is our preferred international credential evaluation provider.
ECE offers a custom application that provides a 10% discount on the evaluation report and sends a free electronic copy to the University of Southern Indiana.
Access the ECE application using the link provided by Admissions and select General Evaluation.
Students applying to the Intensive English Program do not need to submit evaluated transcripts. Please review the Equivalent Credentials page for additional educational documentation information.
Chinese School Applicants: Do not submit records through the upload form in your application portal.
Arrange for a verification report of your high school or university transcript.
The report must be mailed directly to USI Admissions by one of the following organizations:
Submit Official proof of English Proficiency through the testing agency.
Submit either official ACT or SAT scores, if required, through the testing agency.
If you have taken some time off from school, please submit an explanation of what you have been doing since you graduated from high school until the month you plan to enroll at USI.
Once all requirements are received and reviewed an admission decision will be made. Students are notified of their admission decision by email.
Now that you have completed the application process to USI, get a jump start by submitting your required immigration documents to receive your I-20 or DS-2019.
