Confirmed DA Scholars will get orientation information directly from 21st Century Scholars. Ask all DA Scholars (and suspected Scholars who are not coded) to complete the Survey form at bit.ly/NSOScholarCheck. This information will go to the program and they will follow up with the student about their status directly.
Scholars MUST be enrolled in at least 12 credits (full time) in order for their financial aid to process. If a Scholar is not enrolled in 12 credits by the end of the first week of classes and maintains that enrollment until after the start of the 4th week of classes, that Scholar risks losing aid for the entire academic year.
The credit hours that students bring in (Dual Credit, ACP) do count towards the 30 credit hour minimum. They do not have to have associated grades; it is only the credits that matter for credit completion requirements. Freshmen have until the end of summer before they must have 30 credits. However, a freshman who can stockpile credits during the first year has a cushion should they run into difficulties later.
See UD Guides for additional information.
Ernie Pyle Scholars and Media Scholars direct admits will need to enroll in their eight-week, one credit required honors freshmen seminar. Ernie Pyle Scholars should register for MSCH-H 110, which meets on Tuesday evenings and Media Scholars should register for MSCH-H 111, which meets on Thursday evenings. All the students are coded as MSCH honors in SIS so should have access to enroll in the appropriate course.
Health Professions and Prelaw Center - The Health Professions and Prelaw Center (HPPLC) provides advising and other services for students who want to pursue careers in law, medicine, and other health professions. Incoming students can benefit from their "New Students" page which contains NSO planning tools for a variety of fields. New students can also subscribe to the appropriate email list for their intended profession so they can receive targeted information for their area of interest, including invitations to workshops and information sessions where they can gain tips on becoming a competitive applicant.
You play an important role in helping students prepare, and helping HPPLC advisors connect with them. Anytime you meet with a new prelaw, premed, or pre-health student, please use a “tag” in AdRx to indicate the student’s area of interest. There are some duplicate tags in AdRx, but HPPLC recommends that you use the following tags: Pre-Dental, Pre-Law, Pre-Med, Pre-OT, Pre-Optometry, Pre-PT, Pre-PA, Pre-Pharmacy, Pre-Vet. These tags will help HPPLC pull data and place students on the correct HPPLC email list for their area. If students want to they can go ahead and add themselves to any HPPLC email list by going to https://hpplc.indiana.edu/about/email-lists.html.
Finally, please reach out to HPPLC if you have any questions. You can send email to hpplc@indiana.edu or contact an individual HPPLC advisor. Please also feel free to call HPPLC at 812-855-1873.
Honors Courses - The Hutton Honors College provides a searchable list of honors courses on their website. This search allows students to filter by term, School, keyword, GenEd designation, CASE designation, and open status. Clicking into the "details" of a course will also allow advisors and students to access course descriptions, when available.
The 2023 Hutton Honors College Advising Flyer is a great one-page guide to membership and notation requirements, permissions procedures and tips for advising honors students.
All IFS courses are listed at https://ifs.indiana.edu/courses/index.html. Any COLL-S 103, S 104, or S105 is designated as a CASE CAPP course and carries GenEd and CASE A&H, S&H, or N&M Breadth of Inquiry, respectively.
If a student wishes to drop an IFS course, advisors may request drop permission via the online Permissions form.
If a student is enrolled in an IFS course and pre-enrolled in an ASURE COLL-C 103, C 104, or C 105 course that carries the same Breadth of Inquiry (A&H, S&H, or N&M) as the IFS course, the student will not earn degree credit for both classes. Advise the student that if they want to earn degree credit for both IFS and the ASURE seminar, they need to contact IFS to ask if another course is open that carries a different Breadth of Inquiry from the ASURE class.
International students who are nonnative speakers of English are required to take the English Language Improvement courses listed below, unless they have demonstrated a high enough level of English proficiency through coursework or testing.
Consult the OIS website for complete information on exemptions and placement in SLST courses based on test sub-scores.
Two Critical points:
There will be 3 common scenarios advisors (see full explanation of the 3 scenarios here) will encounter in NSO when working with International Students and evaluating their need for SLST coursework. The 3 scenarios can serve as models for advisors assisting students in understanding and navigating their exemptions, pre-enrollments, and/or their option to take the IAET.
Scoring:
IAET scores will be posted in AdRx. There will be a score for each component, listed as "0" or "1". See this document for a screenshot of the AdRx display of IAET scoring.
Scoring of the Indiana Academic English Test and placement course requirements have been determined by the Department of Second Language Studies. Students who wish to discuss any questions about the IAET may be referred to Dr. Beatrix Burghardt (Ballantine Hall 725; bburghar@indiana.edu; 812-855-4974) in the Department of Second Language Studies. There is no option to re-take the IAET. Any references to Beatrix should only be for questions about content, format, and scoring of the IAET.
Option for In-Person Testing for IAET if having Technology Issues
If you encounter students who cannot access/complete the IAET due to incompatibility with their personal devices: there is a resource for students if they need equipment and space to take the exam:

Collins LLC Deferral Form: Freshmen and sophomores in the Collins Living Learning Center are expected to complete one (3 cr.) Collins seminar per year in addition to the Q199 "Residential Learning Workshop." If, after building their fall schedule, a student indicates that they would rather defer this requirement for one semester, please direct them to complete and submit the Collins Living Learning Center Deferral Form.
First-year residents of the Hamilton Lugar School LLC are required to take two courses:
Most students in the LLC are Direct Admits in HLS and fulfill these requirements in the fall semester through pre-enrollment in S150 and I100, or through EALC, MELC, or CEUS courses that those majors register for. There are some LLC residents, however, who are not Direct Admits and do not get HLS courses in their schedule. LLC students who experience hardship in fulfilling these requirements due to conflicts with other academic requirements may apply for an exemption by contacting Will Smith or the Associate Director, Samson Lotven at least two weeks before their registration appointment for spring 2024.

The Wells Scholars Program is a prestigious, merit-based scholarship program at Indiana University. Students who participate in the program will be pre-enrolled in a dedicated section of HON-H 234: Literature of Time and Place for the Fall 2023 semester (section 10972 with Professors Irmscher and Hamburger). If a student received the Wells Scholarship and is not enrolled in HON-H 234, they should hold space in their schedule for that course while they communicate with the Wells Scholars Program. These students will take a second required course in Spring 2024, although the course number and title have not yet been determined.
