The next two pages provide informal policies and information about admissions, what we look for in applications, and some advice about your application materials. In general the information here is relevant for any university to which you apply. It answers typical questions that we get, and can help you understand the arcana of graduate admissions. You should definitely read these pages before trying to directly contact faculty or staff in the department, since most of the issues fielded by the admissions team are answered here. However, no single document can answer all questions, so if you need more information please send e-mail to gradvise@cs.indiana.edu
