IUPUI is committed to maintaining a safe environment for all members of the university community. As part of this commitment, the University requires applicants who have been convicted of any felony or a misdemeanor such as simple battery or other convictions for behavior that resulted in injury to a person(s) or personal property to disclose this information as a mandatory step in the application process. A previous conviction or previous conduct does not automatically bar admission to the University, but does require review. Complete information must be sent by certified mail with the application for admission to the IUPUI Office of International Affairs.

Applicants are responsible for maintaining the receipt certifying that the letter has been received by IUPUI. Information to be submitted includes: a brief explanation, location (city, state, country) of conviction of previous conduct, dates and court disposition, in English. This statement must also include permission to IUPUI for complete access to criminal records, if any. For further information on this requirement, call (317) 274–7000. This information must accompany a paper application or be sent within 48 hours of submitting the application electronically.
