In December 2024, a new high school diploma design was adopted for the State of Indiana. You can find information regarding the new diploma design through the .

The new diploma requirements were first available for students entering high school in fall 2025 and will be required of all graduating seniors in the 2028–29 academic year.

On April 2, 2025, Indiana Governor Mike Braun announced a partnership between the Indiana Commission for Higher Education and higher education institutions, including Indiana University Bloomington, to offer guaranteed admission through the Indiana Pre-Admissions Initiative to graduating Indiana high school seniors who earn the new Indiana Diploma with the Enrollment Honors Plus Seal.

 is a statewide pre-admissions initiative of the Indiana Commission for Higher Education in partnership with Indiana's higher education institutions. This initiative offers Indiana residents the opportunity to be pre-admitted to a participating college or university.

Pre-Admission to Indiana University Bloomington requires students to be on track to graduate with the Indiana Diploma with the Enrollment Honors Plus Seal, submit a nationally recognized college entrance exam score*, and submit a complete application for admission by the November 1 early action (non-binding) deadline or February 1 regular decision deadline.

Note: Students are strongly encouraged to complete their application by the November 1 deadline for scholarship consideration.

* On the application, select yes to include the exam scores in the application's review.

There are two ways that Indiana residents may be identified as being on track to meet the requirements of the Indiana Diploma with the Enrollment Honors Plus Seal. 

• At the conclusion of the student’s junior year of high school, the student’s high school notifies the state that a student is on track to earn the Indiana Diploma with the Enrollment Honors Plus Seal. The Indiana Commission for Higher Education compiles this list of eligible students and shares it with Indiana University Bloomington in the fall of the student’s senior year.
• A student’s high school verifies the student is on track to meet the requirements of the Indiana Diploma with the Enrollment Honors Plus Seal by including a notation on the student’s official transcript.

Students will be required to follow the steps to enroll, including the submission of their final transcript with a notation of their completion of the Indiana Diploma with the Enrollment Honors Plus Seal.

No. While students eligible for Pre-Admissions will be given full consideration for their selected intended major, Indiana Pre-Admissions does not guarantee admission to an academic school or major and does not ensure admission to the academic major of the student’s choice.

If a student's junior year performance suggests that they may not remain on track to meet the requirements of the Indiana Diploma with the Enrollment Honors Plus Seal, the student's 7th semester grades may be requested. 

All enrolling students will be required to submit their final high school transcript confirming they have successfully graduated and have met requirements of the Indiana Diploma with the Enrollment Honors Plus Seal. Upon review of the final high school transcript, we reserve the right to rescind admission for students whose academic performance fell below an acceptable threshold during the student’s senior year in high school. 

Additionally, students found responsible for academic dishonesty, for a violation of high school conduct regulations, or for a criminal violation are required to report the incident to the Office of Admissions. This information will be evaluated, and this review could result in the offer of admission being rescinded.

Students can use the curriculum requirements set by the 91´«Ã½ faculty to fulfill the expectations of the Indiana Diploma with the Enrollment Honors Plus Seal.

In accordance with the Enrollment Honors Plus Seal requirements for math credits, the advanced math credits aligned to the mathematical modeling requirements for every course of study at 91´«Ã½ include trigonometry, pre-calculus, calculus, finite, or statistics. If you are still able to pursue and successfully complete one of these courses prior to enrollment at 91´«Ã½ Bloomington, you would be eligible.

Learn more about academic standards

A student’s eligibility to complete the Indiana Diploma with the Enrollment Honors Plus Seal is a condition of the Indiana Pre-Admissions Initiative; however, a student who submits a complete application for admission to 91´«Ã½ Bloomington will be fully evaluated for admission. 

If a student is admitted to 91´«Ã½ Bloomington through the Indiana Pre-Admissions Initiative and does not complete the Indiana Diploma with the Enrollment Honors Plus Seal by the time of graduation, this does not mean their offer of admission will be automatically rescinded. The Office of Admissions will review the academic information provided as part of the complete application for demonstrated evidence of continued academic readiness.

Yes! 91´«Ã½ Bloomington is not changing our application or holistic review processes. Students who submit a complete application and meet the admissions standards, including required coursework, will be given full consideration for admission to 91´«Ã½.

While earning the Indiana Diploma with the Enrollment Honors Plus Seal is an incredible achievement, we do not anticipate this initiative will impact selectivity for Indiana residents.

To be eligible for the Indiana Pre-Admissions Initiative, students must be residents of Indiana and attend an Indiana high school granting the Indiana Diploma with the Enrollment Honors Plus Seal. Homeschool students who submit a complete application and meet the admissions standards, including required coursework, will be given full consideration for admission to 91´«Ã½ Bloomington.

No. To be eligible for the Indiana Pre-Admissions Initiative, or guaranteed admission, students must be residents of Indiana.

To be eligible for the Indiana Pre-Admissions Initiative, students must be residents of Indiana and attend an Indiana high school granting the Indiana Diploma with the Enrollment Honors Plus Seal.

No. The Indiana Pre-Admissions Initiative is intended and designed for high school students applying for college admission immediately after high school graduation.

Students admitted through the Indiana Pre-Admissions Initiative who ultimately do not complete the Indiana Diploma with the Enrollment Honors Plus Seal could have their offer of admission rescinded.

Consideration for academic merit scholarships is not connected to a student's eligibility for the Indiana Pre-Admissions Initiative, and students are not guaranteed scholarships as a condition of the Indiana Pre-Admissions Initiative. Any student who submits a complete application for admission to 91´«Ã½ Bloomington by November 1 will receive the highest scholarship consideration.

Yes. If a student’s transcript shows a significant decline in academic performance in their junior year that suggests they may not remain eligible; their academic performance during their senior year falls below an acceptable threshold; and/or a student is later found responsible for academic dishonesty, a violation of high school student conduct regulations, or for a criminal violation, more academic information may be requested and/or their admission may be rescinded.
