week, giving you access to university resources while making it convenient

“You can still keep your job during the day, take care of your family, come to school

at night...and still have your life. You don’t have to give up everything else.”

-Jacqui Araujo-Hale

WE GIVE CREDIT FOR YOUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Transferring academic credits is simple at UIndy. And with

prior learning assessments and examinations for credit, your

life experience really does mean something here.

“UIndy understands the unique needs of traditional students and working adults.

The more life and professional experience you bring to the classroom, the more you

will get from your studies.” –Jay Johnson

YOU’RE NEVER FAR FROM HELP

Our office stays open past normal business hours, so you have time

to visit the dedicated student services coordinator or financial aid

specialist.

“All of the things an adult learner needs are right there in the office and are easy to access. I could pop into the office any time and the ladies at the front desk are always

super helpful as well.” —Jody Miles
