As a member of the high school class of 2026, you are invited to participate in

Indiana Pre-Admissions: Your Path to College!

With a few steps, a spot in next fall’s new student class could be yours!

As mentioned in your official Indiana Pre-Admissions letter, your next steps are:

Research Indiana colleges online.
Submit an application to your pre-admitted colleges.
Apply to any additional colleges, whether listed on your letter or not!
Prepare to file the FAFSA – see the list of resources on your letter or on the Learn More Indiana website.

Check out a list of additional requirements for admission to specific institutions as you consider applying.

While some colleges always have free applications, others waive application fees during College Application Week, which takes place September 22-26, 2025!

Your official Indiana Pre-Admissions Letter listed the schools you have been pre-admitted to. You can also see these schools through your ScholarTrack account. When accessing ScholarTrack, be sure to make an account using the Ed-ID (also known as Student Testing Number or STN) issued by your school to see your list of pre-admitted schools.

If you are planning to enlist in a branch of the U.S. military or an ROTC program, you can find more resources on the Military Pre-Admissions page.

If you would like to explore employment opportunities, visit Indiana Career Connect.

If you’re a freshman, sophomore, or junior, there are steps you could take each year to prepare for your Pre-Admissions letter and expand your post-graduation options. Visit the Enrollment Ready page for more information.

Remember that Pre-Admission does not guarantee admission if:

1. Your GPA falls below an acceptable level during your senior year of high school. 2. You do not graduate high school with at least a Core 40 diploma for Indiana Pre-Admissions or an Indiana Diploma with the Enrollment Honors Plus Seal for Indiana Resident Admissions. 3. You have a disciplinary violation. 4. Your requested academic program/major requires additional qualifications, a separate application, or a higher GPA/SAT.
