IUPUI International Student FAQ IUPUI International Student FAQ For basic information regarding student visa, immigration status, academics, activities, living in Indianapolis, and employment options, The OIA’s Guide for International Students is a good resource: http://iservices.iupui.edu/visa-tutorial/. Current IUPUI students are also available to help you even before you arrive in Indianapolis. Undergraduate students should check out the International Peer Mentoring Program: http://iservices.iupui.edu/welcome/peer-mentoring/. Graduate students should check out the Graduate Welcome Volunteers: http://iservices.iupui.edu/welcome/volunteers/. You can sign up using your iStart account. If you have questions, please email [email protected]. Please find questions by topic areas below: Admissions I-20s, DS-2019s, and Visas Visa Interview The IUPUI Campus Medical and Health Insurance Course Selection Technology (Accounts, iStart, OneStart, Oncourse…) Planning for Travel and Arrival Orientation Placement Exams Student Life Financial Matters Housing Admissions If you do not find your question answered below, you may contact International Admissions directly at: Undergraduate Admissions contact: [email protected] Undergraduate Transfer Credit: [email protected] Graduate Admissions contact: [email protected] Make sure to include your name as written on your application, as well as your student ID number if you have one. You may expect a response within 2-3 days. Q: How do I accept admission at IUPUI? A: The Office of International Affairs requires that you log into iStart (http://istart.iu.edu/) and confirm your intention to enroll at IUPUI on the pre-arrival checklist. However, please be aware that your academic department may require their own confirmation as well. Q: I have already submitted my application, and wish to know the status of my admission and I-20. Who should I contact? A: For questions regarding graduate level admission, you should email [email protected]. Undergraduate applicants should contact [email protected]. Q: How do I submit my financial documents to the Office of International Affairs? A: Graduate students should email documents to International Admissions at [email protected]. Undergraduate students should email them to [email protected]. Documents can also be faxed to 317-278-2213. Q: I have received an email regarding conditional admission. What does this mean? A: Graduate students: This could mean that your department has recommended you for admission, but your application must be sent to the graduate school office for final and official approval. It could also mean that you have further requirements to meet before the conditions on your admission can be removed. To ask about your specific case, please email [email protected]. Undergraduate Students: This probably indicates that International Admissions is waiting for your financial documents or proof of English proficiency before finalizing your admission. To ask about your specific case, please email [email protected]. Q: Can I change my major? A: Graduate Students: Generally graduate admission is for a specific degree program, and cannot easily be transferred to other programs without a new application. If the new degree program is within the same school (Engineering, Science, etc), then contact the school for advice on this issue. Undergraduate students: Changing majors at the undergraduate level is possible. During your orientation program, you will speak with an academic advisor who can assist you with this process. It is not necessary to make this change on your admission letter and I-20 before arriving, unless your financial sponsorship depends on it. Q: Is intercampus transfer possible for graduate students? A: Admissions to IUPUI and to Indiana University or Purdue University are completely separate. Admission to one campus does not indicate admission to any other campus. I-20s, DS2019s and Visas Wherever I-20 is indicated below, you may substitute “DS2019” if you will be coming to the U.S. on a J-1 visa. Q: I received my admission letter, but not my I-20. When will I receive it? A: When you were admitted, you should have received an email from International Admissions. Look back at this email and see if they asked you to verify your address. If you did not do so, this is probably holding up your I-20 mailing. When your I-20 was mailed, you should have received an email from International Admissions with the tracking number. Look for that number and check the status of your shipment online. After taking those two steps, if you still are not sure about the status of your I-20, please email international admissions directly. Undergraduates: [email protected], Graduates: [email protected]. Q: Why is the field of study that is listed on the I-20 form different than the degree name on my admission letter? A: The field of study on your I-20 will not necessarily match the degree name on your admission letter. This is because SEVIS has a limited number of field descriptions available. If an exact match for the IUPUI degree name is not on the list, we choose the closest match. This is correct procedure, and does not indicate an error. Q: I am an F-1 student at another school in the United States. Do I need to pay the SEVIS fee again? A: If you are already an F-1 student at another school in the U.S., then you have already paid the SEVIS fee and do not need to do so again. You just need to have your SEVIS record transferred from your current school to IUPUI. You should ask your advisor at your current school to help you with that. Q: I have paid the visa application fee, and have begun filling out the DS-160 online form. Which address should I use if I am not sure where I will be living? A: You are more than welcome to put the address of the Office of International Affairs, 902 W New York St, Room 2126, Indianapolis, IN 46202. Q: What type of photo do I need to upload to the DS-160 online form? A: The photo should have a white background, and be sized to 2 x 2 inches (51 x 51 mm). You can ask the photographer for the US Visa dimension, and request the photo on a USB flash drive. See the U.S. Department of State web page for examples. Q: What if I cannot upload a photo onto the website? A: You can still print the DS-160 without your picture on it. Just make sure you bring your passport photo to the consular on your interview day. Q: What should I put under the” intended length of stay in the U.S.” on the DS-160 form? A: The duration is mentioned on your I-20. In section 5, "The normal length of study is _______ months." Whatever is in that blank is your duration. Q: In the DS-160 form, there is a place where it asks whether I have made any necessary plans to travel. What should I enter there? A: It is possible to book a flight without having a visa yet. By booking early, you may get a better price. If you have not booked any flight yet, just write “No.” If you have, then they will ask for your date of travel and other details. Q: On the DS-160 form, there is a question asking for present education info. Should I enter IUPUI or the school that I am graduating from in my country? A: You should fill it out with the school that you are graduating from in your country. Q: In the DS-160 form, there is a question under the present education info asking me to briefly describe my duties. What should I enter there? A: All you need to write is “Student.” Q: How do I return to the saved online DS-160 form? A: To return to the form, enter your application number, and the answer to the secret question. Q: After filling out the DS-160 form, is there any way that I can select the day I would like to be interviewed? A: Yes, after filling out the form, you must visit another link on the official site to schedule the interview. You can only select the date; the time of the interview will be allotted automatically. Q: I submitted the DS-160, and have been scheduled for a visa interview date. How do I pay the SEVIS fee, and when does it need to be submitted by? A: The SEVIS fee payment can be made at the following website: www.fmjfee.com. You can pay by credit card, and you will need some of the information included on your I-20 to complete the payment. You will need IUPUI’s school code as well as your own SEVIS ID number (starting with “N00”). The confirmation receipt should be received immediately upon your online payment. Be sure to print out your receipt, since this document is often needed for the visa application process. The SEVIS fee must be paid at least three days before your interview date. Q: Does the I-20 document require both my signature and my parents’ signatures? A: If you are under 18, your parents will need to sign the I-20 document. Regardless of your age, your signature is required. Q: What should I do if I misplace my I-20? A: Like the visa consul emphasizes, it is extremely important not to lose your I-20. You will need it when you go through U.S. Immigration and Customs. If you ever lose it, you need to contact the Office of International Affairs immediately. Remember to maintain a valid passport too! Q: What should section #2 of my I-20 look like? A: If you will be attending IUPUI, this is how section #2 on your I-20 should look.

  • Task 4/6 Report: Programming & Destinations
    Tasks Four/Six: Destinations and Programming In these tasks, the team developed an understanding for destinations, events, programming, and gathering places along the White River. The team evaluated existing and potential destinations in both Hamilton and Marion Counties, and recommended new catalyst sites and destinations along the River. The following pages detail our process and understanding of important destinations for enhanced or new protection, preservation, programming and activation for the river.

Working together with the client team and the public, the vision plan identified twenty-seven opportunity sites for preservation, activation, enhancements, or protection. The sites identified on the map at right include existing catalysts, places that exist but could be enhanced, and opportunities for future catalysts. All of these are places along the river where a variety of experiences can be created or expanded. This long list of destinations or opportunity sites is organized by the five discovery themes. Certain locations showed clear overlap among multiple themes and enabled the plan to filter through the long list to identify seven final sites to explore as plan ‘focus areas’ or ‘anchors’.

    SUCCESS STORY New Deal Public Housing Gets New Life Indianapolis, Indiana THE STORY During the New Deal, the Public Works Administration launched a program of federal public housing projects to provide needed low-cost housing. One of the first projects, Lockefield Gardens, was designed to maintain the spirit and vitality of its constituent “When Lockefield was built, African American community while offering a modern, modestly priced place to live. it became a source of pride Completed in1936, it became a national model for high design standards, superior construction quality, and innovative landscaping techniques. The federal government and of hope for the local transferred the property to the City of Indianapolis in 1964 with a deed stipulation that it community...” would be used for public housing until 2004 or would revert to the federal government. —NaTIONAL REGISTER THE PROJECT NOMINATION In the 1970s, the City proposed demolishing the housing project using federal funds to 1983 expand campus housing for Indiana University-Purdue University at Indianapolis (IUPUI). The City claimed Lockefield Gardens had declined in quality, and other housing options for low-income residents existed. As a result, the apartments officially closed in 1976. However, the City could not proceed unless the reversionary clause was waived and the use of federal funds was approved for demolition. THE 106 PROCESS The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the federal agency authorized to approve the waiver and use of federal funds, was responsible for conducting the Section 106 process under the National Historic Preservation Act. Section 106 requires that federal agencies identify historic properties and assess the effects of the projects they carry out, fund, or permit on those properties.

  • Recent Articles, Pamphlets, and Dissertations in Indiana History
    Recent Articles, Pamphlets, and Dissertations in Indiana History Editor’s Note. This list of articles, pamphlets, and dissertations published in 1980 and 1981 is intended as a bibliographic contribution to Indiana’s history. As our first list of this kind, it is neither complete nor systematic in coverage. With this first effort as an experiment we hope to be able to present a list in each March issue of the Indiana Magazine of History. Readers can help in this objective by sending items for possible inclu- sion. We are especially interested in listing publications that make some contribution to understanding Indiana’s past but are not normally reviewed in the IMH. Generally, we will not list newspaper articles or accounts of local historical society activities (which are reported in the Indiana History Bulletin), but printed pamphlets as well as journal articles may be listed. All such items for the March, 1983, issue must be received by December 1, 1982. Many people have contributed to the present list, but major responsibility has rested with Robert G. Barrows of the Indiana Historical Bureau and Gary L. Bailey of the Indiana Magazine of History.

Sulgrove. Indianapolis grew slowly until the 1850s. Indiana’s largest cities were New Albany and Madison, where the Ohio River facilitat- ed trade. In Indianapolis, the White River was unnavigable, and the planned Central Canal failed in 1939. While the newly built National Road (Washington Street) provided a slightly improved artery for trade, there simply was no reliable way to bring goods to the city or transport them to external markets. During this period W.R. Holloway noted that “business was entirely of a local character. Manufacturing was merely for home consumption.” 1 Early European settlers Some of the city’s earliest European settlers farmed along the north- western reaches of Indiana Avenue and operated mills on the tributaries of Fall Creek.
