Description of the video:
100:00:00,709 --> 00:00:04,004
Hello everybody.
I hope you're having a great day.
2
00:00:04,129 --> 00:00:06,089
My name is Joe Wright.
I'm a Senior Assistant Director
3
00:00:06,089 --> 00:00:09,134
of undergraduate admissions
here at IU Bloomington.
4
00:00:09,134 --> 00:00:14,305
And this is a recording for our
virtual admitted student presentation.
5
00:00:14,305 --> 00:00:17,684
So, that way you,
as a virtually admitted student,
6
00:00:18,143 --> 00:00:20,937
have the opportunity to hear a little bit
of additional information
7
00:00:20,937 --> 00:00:25,025
about our campus and perhaps assist you
in your decision making process
8
00:00:25,025 --> 00:00:29,112
or prepare you for your attendance here,
just to get used to the campus
9
00:00:29,112 --> 00:00:30,697
a little bit more.
10
00:00:30,697 --> 00:00:36,286
So, with that, I'm going to start
and share a PowerPoint presentation.
11
00:00:36,786 --> 00:00:39,372
And we'll run through that.
12
00:00:39,372 --> 00:00:42,459
And I hope that you have
13
00:00:43,418 --> 00:00:45,962
a good experience with this and
14
00:00:45,962 --> 00:00:46,588
that it is helpful.
15
00:00:46,588 --> 00:00:50,300
So, give me one second
to turn off the camera,
16
00:00:53,595 --> 00:00:57,182
start the presentation,
17
00:01:00,143 --> 00:01:03,146
and then
18
00:01:04,981 --> 00:01:07,901
begin to share
19
00:01:07,901 --> 00:01:10,862
the screen.
20
00:01:10,862 --> 00:01:12,405
We're all set up now.
21
00:01:12,405 --> 00:01:14,616
So, hey, first things first,
22
00:01:14,616 --> 00:01:16,951
obviously, congratulations.
23
00:01:16,951 --> 00:01:18,036
Huge accomplishment.
24
00:01:18,036 --> 00:01:21,706
We appreciate your application,
and we are honored to offer you admission.
25
00:01:21,998 --> 00:01:24,959
So, if you're viewing this,
this is only going out to admitted
26
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,962
students.
27
00:01:28,505 --> 00:01:31,508
So, congratulations to you.
28
00:01:34,010 --> 00:01:35,470
So, obviously, as I stated earlier,
29
00:01:35,470 --> 00:01:38,807
this is the virtual admitted
students presentation.
30
00:01:38,807 --> 00:01:41,851
So, let's get started.
31
00:01:46,272 --> 00:01:49,651
So, the IU Admissions office for transfer
32
00:01:50,110 --> 00:01:53,822
has a staff of five.
There are three of us that are forward-facing.
33
00:01:54,197 --> 00:01:56,991
And obviously you see me in the middle there.
34
00:01:56,991 --> 00:02:00,036
But Kelly Waggoner is the Senior Associate Director
35
00:02:00,036 --> 00:02:03,248
in charge of the organization.
36
00:02:03,373 --> 00:02:06,376
And then Brynn Michaels is our
37
00:02:07,460 --> 00:02:08,753
Assistant Director.
38
00:02:08,753 --> 00:02:12,882
She focuses primarily on out-of-state
with some in-state stuff here.
39
00:02:12,882 --> 00:02:17,053
And then I focus primarily on in-state stuff.
40
00:02:18,012 --> 00:02:19,305
And then you're welcome to contact
41
00:02:19,305 --> 00:02:22,308
any one of the three of us
if you have any questions about anything.
42
00:02:22,308 --> 00:02:25,311
We all three help and fill in for each other.
43
00:02:28,857 --> 00:02:30,817
So, welcome to campus.
44
00:02:30,817 --> 00:02:32,735
This is our Sample Gates.
45
00:02:32,735 --> 00:02:36,156
It's one of the more iconic
structures here on campus.
46
00:02:36,739 --> 00:02:42,495
And, it's a great way to take a moment
to talk about our campus
47
00:02:42,495 --> 00:02:45,707
and how we in the transfer office
understand that the visit
48
00:02:47,167 --> 00:02:49,002
here is important
49
00:02:49,002 --> 00:02:53,590
as your transfer journey is unique and special
50
00:02:53,590 --> 00:02:54,507
just to you.
51
00:02:54,507 --> 00:02:58,469
We know some of you have been
to a couple of different schools.
52
00:02:58,469 --> 00:03:02,348
Some of you may have only been to one.
Some of you are changing majors.
53
00:03:02,724 --> 00:03:06,102
Some of you are coming back to school after a
54
00:03:06,436 --> 00:03:08,229
slight absence.
55
00:03:08,229 --> 00:03:10,857
So, everybody's journey is unique and
56
00:03:10,857 --> 00:03:11,733
that's why we're here.
57
00:03:11,733 --> 00:03:15,778
We're here to help you through
that process and help guide you
58
00:03:16,446 --> 00:03:19,574
to the degree completion that you seek.
59
00:03:20,617 --> 00:03:23,536
So, we want to help make sure that you
have the best information possible.
60
00:03:23,536 --> 00:03:26,497
And that is what we are doing here.
61
00:03:30,335 --> 00:03:31,085
So, let's talk a little bit
62
00:03:31,085 --> 00:03:34,088
about academics real quick.
Just to let you know,
63
00:03:34,172 --> 00:03:38,051
so, we have 12 undergraduate schools
with over 200 majors.
64
00:03:38,843 --> 00:03:41,888
And in addition to your typical learning experience
65
00:03:41,888 --> 00:03:46,309
that you have—excuse me—
we have hands-on experiences.
66
00:03:46,309 --> 00:03:49,270
We refer to it as experiential learning.
67
00:03:49,270 --> 00:03:52,899
You can do research, service-based learning,
68
00:03:53,858 --> 00:03:56,152
volunteering type stuff.
69
00:03:56,152 --> 00:03:59,864
And then we also have 380+ study abroad programs.
70
00:04:00,615 --> 00:04:03,076
The study abroad programs provide you with that
71
00:04:03,076 --> 00:04:06,079
hands-on experience as well.
72
00:04:06,287 --> 00:04:10,041
And we have one of the leading study
73
00:04:10,041 --> 00:04:13,044
abroad programs with
74
00:04:13,419 --> 00:04:16,422
short and long term
75
00:04:16,506 --> 00:04:19,676
class opportunities, as well as English-speaking
76
00:04:19,676 --> 00:04:22,679
and native language programs.
77
00:04:23,054 --> 00:04:25,807
We offer tutoring services here
78
00:04:25,807 --> 00:04:28,518
on the campus,
79
00:04:28,518 --> 00:04:31,354
so you can get tutoring services from staff.
80
00:04:33,356 --> 00:04:34,148
81
00:04:34,148 --> 00:04:37,986
Or you could get it from peers
kind of set up in different ways.
82
00:04:37,986 --> 00:04:42,365
We also have Academic Support Centers
or Student Academic Centers.
83
00:04:42,365 --> 00:04:45,618
The Academic Support Centers are
in the residence halls
84
00:04:46,452 --> 00:04:49,163
and primarily focus on that tutoring.
85
00:04:49,163 --> 00:04:52,250
And then the Student Academic Center
86
00:04:52,250 --> 00:04:55,545
is basically related
to that of being the student.
87
00:04:55,545 --> 00:04:59,924
They are helpful with coaching and assisting
88
00:04:59,924 --> 00:05:02,969
you with how to be the
best version of yourself
89
00:05:03,219 --> 00:05:07,056
in the academic standings.
Writing Tutorial Services is
90
00:05:07,181 --> 00:05:08,391
exactly what it sounds like.
91
00:05:08,391 --> 00:05:12,103
You take papers to them,
they will review, and then they will,
92
00:05:12,729 --> 00:05:15,106
give you some guidance as to how you may
93
00:05:15,106 --> 00:05:18,067
make improvements on them.
94
00:05:19,694 --> 00:05:21,029
Here at IU Bloomington we know that
95
00:05:21,029 --> 00:05:25,158
you are not only here to get a degree,
but that degree is to help you get a career.
96
00:05:25,450 --> 00:05:29,620
And as a result, we have ten
specialized undergraduate career centers
97
00:05:29,620 --> 00:05:34,459
that basically assigned to the schools
that we have around campus
98
00:05:34,459 --> 00:05:36,002
and the ones that you're
going to get your degree in.
99
00:05:37,337 --> 00:05:38,921
Those individual
100
00:05:38,921 --> 00:05:43,217
schools and their undergraduate
career centers help you.
101
00:05:43,217 --> 00:05:45,345
And they're very specific
and very knowledgeable
102
00:05:45,345 --> 00:05:48,014
about the particular career paths
that they represent.
103
00:05:48,014 --> 00:05:49,932
So, instead of going somewhere
104
00:05:49,932 --> 00:05:53,102
and then meeting with somebody
that had a business student the hour
105
00:05:53,102 --> 00:05:57,231
before your appointment, an education
student an hour after your appointment,
106
00:05:57,273 --> 00:06:00,360
they are specialized with your particular topic
107
00:06:01,486 --> 00:06:02,236
on campus.
108
00:06:02,236 --> 00:06:05,448
They cumulatively hold over 450 different
109
00:06:05,448 --> 00:06:08,618
career workshops each year to help you as a student.
110
00:06:09,494 --> 00:06:12,872
We have internship opportunities that can assist you
111
00:06:12,872 --> 00:06:16,334
with that experiential learning,
confirming that that's the career
112
00:06:16,334 --> 00:06:19,420
path that you're interested in,
as well as giving you hands-on training.
113
00:06:19,420 --> 00:06:21,672
So, that way you are better at that
114
00:06:21,672 --> 00:06:25,635
by the time you graduate and get ready
to enter into the workforce.
115
00:06:26,886 --> 00:06:28,012
We also have one of the largest
116
00:06:28,012 --> 00:06:32,141
living alumni networks with well over
117
00:06:33,184 --> 00:06:35,353
790,000 alumni worldwide,
118
00:06:35,353 --> 00:06:39,065
and last year 95% of our graduates
accepted full-time
119
00:06:39,065 --> 00:06:42,610
employment or continued their
education upon graduation.
120
00:06:42,610 --> 00:06:45,613
So, our career services, we feel, are
121
00:06:45,613 --> 00:06:48,616
very, very successful in what they do.
122
00:06:48,616 --> 00:06:50,827
I would like to add one thing here,
and that is don't
123
00:06:50,827 --> 00:06:52,995
wait to start the career services.
124
00:06:52,995 --> 00:06:58,209
Please be sure that you start them
and meet with your advisor,
125
00:06:58,209 --> 00:07:00,503
your academic advisor,
to talk about the potential
126
00:07:00,503 --> 00:07:03,548
and the possibilities of the career
services and what they can do for you
127
00:07:04,090 --> 00:07:05,383
as soon as you get here.
128
00:07:05,383 --> 00:07:08,052
So, don't just wait 'til you're about
to graduate and have them help
129
00:07:08,052 --> 00:07:11,055
you try to find a job.
130
00:07:12,682 --> 00:07:13,099
Your health,
131
00:07:13,099 --> 00:07:16,185
wellness, and safety are important
and our priority to us here as well.
132
00:07:17,228 --> 00:07:18,896
Just know that
133
00:07:18,896 --> 00:07:22,191
we have multiple ways to stay healthy.
134
00:07:22,191 --> 00:07:25,194
We have a couple of different
sports and rec centers.
135
00:07:25,987 --> 00:07:28,990
And within those centers we have
136
00:07:28,990 --> 00:07:31,993
club and intramural sports
that you can participate in.
137
00:07:32,326 --> 00:07:34,912
We have a Student Health Center
in the center of campus.
138
00:07:34,912 --> 00:07:38,082
Help you if you have a cold
or some other issue going on
139
00:07:38,416 --> 00:07:41,377
to not have you
140
00:07:42,712 --> 00:07:44,255
have to venture off campus
141
00:07:44,255 --> 00:07:47,258
too far to get those types of assistance.
142
00:07:47,341 --> 00:07:49,218
We have Counseling and Psychological Services
143
00:07:49,218 --> 00:07:53,306
that you can set up and schedule
on a regular basis or an as-needed basis.
144
00:07:53,306 --> 00:07:54,724
But then we also have TimelyCare.
145
00:07:54,724 --> 00:07:57,727
TimelyCare is a Zoom-based,
146
00:07:57,852 --> 00:08:01,481
urgent assistance.
They're staffed 24/7
147
00:08:01,981 --> 00:08:05,526
and they're part of our Culture of Care
here on campus to make sure
148
00:08:05,526 --> 00:08:07,236
that you have the assistance that you need.
149
00:08:08,321 --> 00:08:09,405
From a safety perspective.
150
00:08:09,405 --> 00:08:15,036
We have IU Ride, which provides rides
in the evenings and late night hours.
151
00:08:15,036 --> 00:08:16,913
We have our own police department
152
00:08:16,913 --> 00:08:19,373
and the campus is built out
with a BlueLight system.
153
00:08:19,373 --> 00:08:21,459
So, if you do need assistance
while you're on campus,
154
00:08:21,459 --> 00:08:24,754
you can activate the BlueLight
and assistance will come to you.
155
00:08:28,966 --> 00:08:31,177
Student life is a large portion
156
00:08:31,177 --> 00:08:34,180
of being a college student,
regardless of where you go.
157
00:08:34,722 --> 00:08:37,850
And IU embraces that as well because
we know that if you're a successful
158
00:08:39,018 --> 00:08:41,020
student in the social aspect,
159
00:08:41,020 --> 00:08:44,023
you're also going to be
160
00:08:44,315 --> 00:08:47,318
successful in your academic side of things.
161
00:08:48,236 --> 00:08:51,989
So, student life organizations here are
162
00:08:53,115 --> 00:08:56,661
very popular and very large
with a lot of different options.
163
00:08:57,411 --> 00:09:01,165
I encourage you to go to the
IU Bloomington events calendar
164
00:09:01,165 --> 00:09:04,210
just to take a look at all
the different things that are taking place
165
00:09:04,210 --> 00:09:07,213
at any given point in time,
just so you can see that long list.
166
00:09:07,588 --> 00:09:10,800
But, in summary, we have well over 750
167
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:14,387
student-led organizations and clubs.
168
00:09:14,845 --> 00:09:18,641
These clubs can be things
that can help bolster your resume,
169
00:09:18,641 --> 00:09:20,560
or that could be things that are just for fun.
170
00:09:21,811 --> 00:09:22,937
We encourage you to come out
171
00:09:22,937 --> 00:09:26,691
during the enrollment fairs at the start
of the spring and fall semester
172
00:09:26,691 --> 00:09:27,733
so that you can talk
173
00:09:27,733 --> 00:09:31,487
to the club organizers about what they do
and see if it's a good fit for you.
174
00:09:31,737 --> 00:09:34,740
We have well over 60 different
fraternities and sororities.
175
00:09:35,491 --> 00:09:38,578
We are a Division I NCAA school,
176
00:09:38,578 --> 00:09:42,915
so we have 24 Division I teams
in men's and women's sports.
177
00:09:43,416 --> 00:09:47,545
With your student ID, you get into
22 of those sports for free.
178
00:09:47,545 --> 00:09:51,799
It's only men's basketball and men's football
that you have to buy tickets for.
179
00:09:53,175 --> 00:09:56,262
We are a liberal arts institution,
so we have world-class culture
180
00:09:56,262 --> 00:09:57,972
and arts here on campus.
181
00:09:57,972 --> 00:10:03,603
And that means that we have well over 1,500
performances on our campus each year.
182
00:10:04,186 --> 00:10:07,690
And those span the range from professional organizations
183
00:10:07,690 --> 00:10:10,693
or Off-Broadway plays that come into the auditorium
184
00:10:10,943 --> 00:10:15,865
and bring their semis in and stay for a week,
all the way down to recitals
185
00:10:15,865 --> 00:10:18,993
that students have to put on for their particular
186
00:10:19,702 --> 00:10:21,787
majors and classes that they're taking.
187
00:10:21,787 --> 00:10:24,665
So, again, goes back to that events calendar.
188
00:10:24,665 --> 00:10:26,917
And there are always a number of things to do.
189
00:10:28,169 --> 00:10:29,754
Also listed on the events calendar,
190
00:10:29,754 --> 00:10:33,174
you'll see that our culture centers have activities.
191
00:10:33,174 --> 00:10:36,510
Now, here at IU Bloomington we have seven
culture centers and institutes that support
192
00:10:36,510 --> 00:10:39,805
and educate the entire student body
on the cultures that they represent.
193
00:10:40,848 --> 00:10:43,184
And they do that largely through
194
00:10:43,184 --> 00:10:46,187
activities, events, and things that
195
00:10:46,854 --> 00:10:49,690
just help keep you active and interested
196
00:10:49,690 --> 00:10:52,693
in the learning process here on campus.
197
00:10:53,027 --> 00:10:55,321
So, the list of culture centers that we have
198
00:10:55,321 --> 00:10:58,324
here are the African American Art Institute,
199
00:10:58,449 --> 00:11:02,953
the Asian Culture Center, the First Nations Culture Center,
Jewish Culture Center,
200
00:11:03,579 --> 00:11:08,084
La Casa Latino Culture Center,
the LGBTQ+ Culture Center,
201
00:11:08,709 --> 00:11:11,712
and the Neal-Marshall Black Culture Center.
202
00:11:16,717 --> 00:11:19,136
Staying connected is obviously still important to us,
203
00:11:19,136 --> 00:11:23,557
and one of the clubs that I spoke
about earlier is called the
204
00:11:24,016 --> 00:11:25,226
Transfer Student Advisory Board.
205
00:11:25,226 --> 00:11:29,814
It's an opportunity for transfer students
to get together, to work together
206
00:11:29,814 --> 00:11:34,485
within their community,
become more informed about the university
207
00:11:34,485 --> 00:11:38,406
and how they can make everything special
for transfer students,
208
00:11:38,406 --> 00:11:42,284
because we know, again, it's a
unique journey and a unique situation
209
00:11:42,284 --> 00:11:44,912
for every single one of you.
And this is a great opportunity
210
00:11:44,912 --> 00:11:46,997
to connect with other people that are having,
211
00:11:48,708 --> 00:11:51,711
a similar experience.
212
00:11:55,381 --> 00:11:56,006
We also
213
00:11:56,006 --> 00:12:00,136
have a chapter of Tau Sigma.
It's a national academic honor society
214
00:12:00,219 --> 00:12:05,015
for transfer students,
and that is limited to students
215
00:12:05,015 --> 00:12:08,936
that are able to attain a 3.5 GPA or higher
216
00:12:08,936 --> 00:12:12,857
during the first semester at
the campus that they attend.
217
00:12:12,982 --> 00:12:16,068
So for us, that would be your first semester here,
218
00:12:16,777 --> 00:12:19,780
and I encourage you to go to
the national website or the IU Bloomington
219
00:12:19,864 --> 00:12:23,075
Tau Sigma website for more information
about that opportunity.
220
00:12:23,534 --> 00:12:27,121
And if you achieve those academic standards,
221
00:12:27,121 --> 00:12:30,458
you can expect to get an invitation to join.
222
00:12:35,004 --> 00:12:37,089
We know that a large number of transfer
223
00:12:37,089 --> 00:12:40,801
students coming in are from the
veteran or military background.
224
00:12:40,885 --> 00:12:44,889
So, whether you are a dependent
of a veteran or whether you're an actual
225
00:12:45,681 --> 00:12:50,686
serving or recently discharged
military student yourself,
226
00:12:51,103 --> 00:12:53,647
you can contact our Veterans Affairs
227
00:12:53,647 --> 00:12:58,611
office to help you through that process of
how you may be able to use your GI Bill,
228
00:12:58,611 --> 00:13:01,947
or what other services that they can assist you with.
229
00:13:06,577 --> 00:13:09,538
Now, let's talk a little bit about costs.
230
00:13:09,538 --> 00:13:14,001
There is a breakdown between in-state
Indiana residents and nonresidents.
231
00:13:14,001 --> 00:13:19,048
You can see here this is the
initial price of attending here
232
00:13:19,048 --> 00:13:22,718
for the 2024–2025 academic year.
233
00:13:24,136 --> 00:13:27,056
With more than 15 credit hours transferring in,
234
00:13:27,056 --> 00:13:31,185
you do not have to live on campus,
so you're able to control your costs
235
00:13:31,185 --> 00:13:34,313
a little bit by deciding
whether you want to stay on campus,
236
00:13:34,313 --> 00:13:38,692
or whether you want to try to go outside
of campus housing and reduce that cost some.
237
00:13:38,943 --> 00:13:42,488
You're welcome to look around and
see if that's a possibility for you.
238
00:13:43,531 --> 00:13:46,242
The other things that are on this list—
239
00:13:46,242 --> 00:13:49,620
books and supplies, transportation,
personal expenses—those are all
240
00:13:50,830 --> 00:13:52,623
ancillary expenses
241
00:13:52,623 --> 00:13:56,544
to the education and ones that
you might be able to control.
242
00:13:56,544 --> 00:13:59,755
Perhaps not as much as books and supplies,
but definitely with transportation
243
00:13:59,755 --> 00:14:01,131
and personal expenses and the like.
244
00:14:01,131 --> 00:14:04,426
So, there's a little bit of leeway
in some of these numbers, but,
245
00:14:04,969 --> 00:14:07,012
just know that this is your starting point.
246
00:14:12,226 --> 00:14:13,352
So, in 2023,
247
00:14:13,352 --> 00:14:16,981
83% of students did receive some form of financial aid
248
00:14:17,356 --> 00:14:22,486
and 61% of students did graduate
debt-free from Indiana University.
249
00:14:22,528 --> 00:14:26,866
So. Here we have an office called Student Central.
250
00:14:27,449 --> 00:14:30,160
Student central is
251
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,872
the business office for being a student,
for lack of a better term.
252
00:14:32,872 --> 00:14:37,585
It is the office that has the Bursar,
the Registrar, Financial Aid.
253
00:14:37,585 --> 00:14:41,171
They answer questions for scholarships,
those types of things.
254
00:14:41,171 --> 00:14:44,174
And they can assist you in
255
00:14:44,174 --> 00:14:46,927
what that looks like for you in terms of
256
00:14:46,927 --> 00:14:51,181
trying to reduce that initial
base cost of attending.
257
00:14:53,559 --> 00:14:54,685
Depending on what
258
00:14:54,685 --> 00:14:57,938
your results are for your FAFSA,
you may qualify for loans.
259
00:14:57,938 --> 00:15:00,941
You may qualify for work-study,
you may be eligible for grants.
260
00:15:01,775 --> 00:15:05,195
Basically, Student Central is the office
that can help you understand
261
00:15:05,195 --> 00:15:08,240
where you land in all of that,
and I encourage you to reach out to them.
262
00:15:08,908 --> 00:15:10,409
You can also check out MoneySmarts.
263
00:15:10,409 --> 00:15:14,830
It's a website that IU developed
to help college students
264
00:15:15,205 --> 00:15:19,001
not only while they're in school,
but also after school,
265
00:15:19,251 --> 00:15:20,961
to make good financial decisions.
266
00:15:27,676 --> 00:15:30,638
So, what are your next steps?
267
00:15:31,388 --> 00:15:34,058
Your next steps to enroll are to complete
268
00:15:34,058 --> 00:15:37,061
your IU computing an email account
if you've not already done so.
269
00:15:37,061 --> 00:15:38,979
This is different than your Portal account.
270
00:15:38,979 --> 00:15:41,982
Portal account is what you used for the application.
271
00:15:42,441 --> 00:15:45,903
Once you were offered admission,
you were given an IU email address
272
00:15:45,903 --> 00:15:49,031
and the ability to set up the IU email account.
273
00:15:50,324 --> 00:15:54,995
Make sure again that you submit your FAFSA,
add us to your list of FAFSA
274
00:15:54,995 --> 00:15:59,291
if you've already submitted it
just so that we can get that information
275
00:15:59,375 --> 00:16:03,420
and see what you're eligible for.
We do need some type of notification
276
00:16:03,420 --> 00:16:07,091
to be able to send you a reply back
on cost of attendance.
277
00:16:07,091 --> 00:16:11,595
So, as soon as you get the opportunity
to add us, we'll be notified,
278
00:16:11,595 --> 00:16:13,597
and then we'll try to turn that back around
279
00:16:13,597 --> 00:16:15,516
and get you a cost of attendance estimate.
280
00:16:17,101 --> 00:16:18,268
And if you plan on attending,
281
00:16:18,268 --> 00:16:21,438
make sure you do your intent to enroll
and reserve your space.
282
00:16:22,398 --> 00:16:25,275
Once that is done, you'll start getting emails to your IU
283
00:16:25,275 --> 00:16:28,237
email account with all the different offices on campus.
284
00:16:28,696 --> 00:16:31,156
One of those will be for New Student Orientation.
285
00:16:31,156 --> 00:16:36,704
New Student Orientation
for transfer students is virtual,
286
00:16:36,787 --> 00:16:42,918
so you'll be able to do that
with an online learning application.
287
00:16:42,918 --> 00:16:47,172
And then once you reach a certain level,
you will be scheduled
288
00:16:47,172 --> 00:16:50,759
for a meeting with an advisor
and you can schedule for your classes.
289
00:16:51,969 --> 00:16:55,347
Please do not forget to send in
your final official transcripts
290
00:16:55,347 --> 00:16:57,141
from your current colleges.
291
00:16:57,141 --> 00:16:59,560
We need to see what your final grades were
292
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,563
and review those final credits
293
00:17:02,563 --> 00:17:05,774
to see what transfer credits
may come in through those articulations.
294
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,527
And then just make a determination about your housing.
295
00:17:09,611 --> 00:17:10,029
As I said before,
296
00:17:10,029 --> 00:17:13,282
as transfer students, once you have
above 15 credit hours,
297
00:17:13,782 --> 00:17:16,452
then you are not required to live on campus.
298
00:17:16,452 --> 00:17:19,538
You can live off campus if you want,
and I encourage you to investigate
299
00:17:19,538 --> 00:17:22,583
both options for on- and off-campus
housing to find out what works
300
00:17:22,583 --> 00:17:25,586
best for you.
301
00:17:26,962 --> 00:17:29,256
So, with that, thank you very much for your time.
302
00:17:29,256 --> 00:17:31,467
This is our contact information.
303
00:17:31,467 --> 00:17:34,303
A lot of times general questions
304
00:17:34,303 --> 00:17:36,930
can be answered by the call center
that you see here.
305
00:17:36,930 --> 00:17:38,766
That's their email address,
306
00:17:38,766 --> 00:17:43,395
or you can call them at 812-855-0661.
307
00:17:44,229 --> 00:17:47,524
And they'll be able to answer questions
like has my transcript arrived yet
308
00:17:47,691 --> 00:17:50,694
or what's the status of my application,
those types of things.
309
00:17:51,361 --> 00:17:53,238
And then you can also
310
00:17:53,238 --> 00:17:56,241
set up a transfer visit.
311
00:17:56,325 --> 00:17:59,828
We have a number of different
opportunities for you to do a campus visit
312
00:17:59,828 --> 00:18:02,873
both in-person and in Zoom,
313
00:18:02,873 --> 00:18:05,501
and that web page is listed there.
314
00:18:05,501 --> 00:18:07,753
So, with that, again,
315
00:18:07,753 --> 00:18:11,590
we appreciate your taking time
to view this video.
316
00:18:11,590 --> 00:18:14,593
We wish you the best in your
academic and personal journey.
317
00:18:14,885 --> 00:18:20,390
And please do feel free to contact us
if you have any additional questions.
318
00:18:21,517 --> 00:18:22,601
With that,
319
00:18:22,601 --> 00:18:25,604
I wish you the best and
thank you very much for your time.
320
00:18:25,687 --> 00:18:26,313
Have a good day.

Picture yourself here
Check out IU Bloomington's iconic Sample Gates and start imagining your time here—from the first moment you pass through these gates to the day you and your friends take graduation photos here. Start with the video below, then explore even more of campus with a virtual tour.
Description of the video:
[upbeat music plays][Video: An aerial view of the IU Bloomington campus shows the Indiana Memorial Unio and many other large limestone buildings with dense clusters of trees between them. The aerial view changes to show the Old Crescent area of campus, including the Student Building and Franklin Hall, two limestone buildings with red tiled roofs.
[Words appear: Indiana University campus tour old crescent.]
[Video: The view then moves to the Sample Gates, with students walking through the gates onto campus. There are flower beds and lush trees along the red brick walkways going through the gates and into campus. The next view is at ground-level, showing a student wearing a nametag standing next to flowerbeds that have rows of red and white mums that create a candy-stripe pattern. The Sample Gates are behind the student.]
[Words appear: Marissa, senior, Kelley School of Business]
Marisa: Hi, everyone, and welcome to our virtual tour of IU Bloomington. I am so excited to be the guide that gets to show you around in this video. To introduce myself, my name is Marisa, and I am currently a senior here at IU studying marketing and professional sales with a minor in apparel merchandising. And I'm originally from Warren, New Jersey.]
[Video: A panning shot shows the Sample Gates, two large limestone structures that feature pointed arches and buttresses, forming a gateway into the campus. There are flowerbeds on either side of the gates and a red brick walkway lined with trees. Franklin Hall, a large limestone building in the Collegiate Gothic style that features large windows, carvings, and a rough-hewn texture.]
Marisa: Now to begin our tour, I wanna take you to one of the most iconic places at IU, which is our Sample Gates.
[Video: A new view shows the Sample Gates from further away, down a street with restaurants and shops on each side. The dense tree canopy is more visible from this view. Then the view moves back to Marissa standing on campus with the gates in the background.]
Marissa: Now, the Sample Gates are right behind me and I'm sure if you've ever received any piece of mail from IU, you've definitely seen the Sample Gates plastered all over them.
[Video: The view changes to show the gates from the street, with a car driving towards the gates and students walking away from them. The street ends at the Sample gates, becoming a walkway. The next view shows a closer view of the gates, looking into campus.]
Marissa: The Sample Gates is an incredible architecture piece that leads us out into the city of Bloomington.
[Video: The view switches to looking from campus out to the street. The next view shows scenes along the street, with people walking their dog and students walking on the sidewalk towards restaurants and shops.]
Marissa: Now, right past me is Kirkwood Avenue, which is the first street that you'll see leaving the Sample Gates.
[Video: Back to Marissa standing on campus with the Sample Gates in the background.]
Marissa: Now, I'm gonna take you over to Old Crescent, which is one of the oldest and most historic areas of IU Bloomington.
[Video: A panning view the clock tower of the Student Building is shown, followed by an aerial view of the Sample Gates which shows limestone buildings on either side of the gates, more buildings stretching into the distance on the left, and a dense forest just past the gates to the right. Another view shows a student walking on the brick walkway. Then Maxwell Hall is shown, a limestone building which features a tower, decorative carvings, and arches over some windows. More views of students walking and sitting on campus are shown, with colorful autumn foliage around them. Brick buildings are then shown.]

[Video: Marissa is now standing in front of two benches with trees and campus buildings in the background. On one bench is a bronze statue of Herman B Wells, sitting and reaching his right hand out.]
Marissa: Now, we are standing at Old Crescent, one of the most historical parts of our campus.
[Video: An aerial view of the Old Crescent shows several campus buildings lined in a row and facing a dense forest. The next view shows the front of several of these limestone buildings. Then it changes back to Marissa in front of the statue.]
Marissa: The name Old Crescent is pretty self-explanatory, as old comes from this being the oldest part of IU, and crescent because, from an aerial point of view, this area is actually shaped like a little crescent moon. Now, you'll kind of notice the two buildings behind me. I have Owen and Wylie Hall.
[Video: A four-story, red brick building with limestone accents is shown. It has many windows and a set of stairs leading to the door. A brick walkway runs in front of the building and leads to another multi-story, brick building in the background that features tall windows and an entry tower. A cluster of trees is between the buildings. The sign to the first building is shown, reading Wylie Hall.]
Marissa: Owen and Wylie are home to the College of Arts and Sciences and our Department of Economics.
[Video: The front of Wylie Hall is show, with a limestone carving that reads Wylie Hall above the entrance.]
Marissa: The fun fact about Owen and Wylie Hall is that they're actually our only two red brick buildings that we have here at IU.
[Video: Back to Marissa in front of the statue.]
Marissa: Everything else here is made of Indiana limestone.
[Video: A small limestone structure, similar to a shelter house, is shown from different angles. It features arched entryways and window openings, and a red tile roof. A dense forest is behind it and brick pathways cross in front and beside it. Another view shows a colorful stained-glass window.]
Marissa: And moving on, we also have the Rose Well House, which is actually one of the most romantic areas here at IU. Legend says that if you kiss your significant other at the stroke of midnight on Valentine's Day, you will be together forever.
[Video: Back to Marissa standing in front of the statue.]
Marissa: Now, I've personally seen this come true over and over again, so it's a legend that I believe pretty strongly. And now, bringing us back to where I'm currently standing, you might've noticed the Herman B Wells statue that's sitting behind me. Now, Herman B Wells is a pretty great president that IU was lucky enough to have. He's known for desegregating this campus and has done a ton of great things to make IU what it is today. Legend has it that if you shake his hand as an incoming student, you are guaranteed to graduate within four years. For us current students, we always like to shake his hand for good luck on exams, which personally, I definitely need.
[Video: Marissa walks over to the statue and shakes its hand.]
[Upbeat music]
[Video: Marissa is standing on a brick pathway in the middle of a forest with autumn-colored leaves.]
Marissa: Thank you so much for joining me today on this virtual tour of the Sample Gates and Old Crescent. I hope that you got to see a little bit of IU's beauty within this video.
[Upbeat music]
[Video: The screen turns to red. The IU trident logo appears at the top of the screen, with Indiana University below it. A website address is below that, reading admissions dot Indiana dot e d u. Aerial views of other parts of campus show large limestone buildings of different styles, with trees and grassy areas surrounding them. The screen then fades to black.]
