Scholarships: If you applied in time for the January 15th scholarship deadline, those decisions should be made by mid-April. SLIS is a part of the Council of Graduate Schools - (with the agreement that no school should require that you accept a scholarship prior to April 15th.) SLIS scholarship offers will be made by email. Notification that you did not receive an offer should be sent out by mail by the end of April. Student loans are a separate process managed by the IU Office of Student Financial Assistance.
Want to start in the Summer? Students admitted for the fall semester may request to begin in the summer. Contact the SLIS Admissions Office to make this change. Sometimes arriving in Bloomington for the Summer II session can be helpful for classes, housing, and student job issues.
Interested in the Dual MIS/MLS Option? Email the Director of Admissions Rhonda Spencer (spencerr@indiana.edu) an additional personal goals statement describing your academic and career goals, and a request to be changed to this dual degree option.
Early Registration: New Fall 2011 students should have access to register starting around May 1st, or about 4 weeks after their admissions. International students register during International Student Orientation.
SLIS does not require an enrollment deposit. And, there is no formal deadline to commit to coming to IU - or to accept your admissions. However, if you are offered a scholarship - there will be a deadline tied to that offer.
