To secure your spot in Bridge Week, all you need to do is enroll in your fall First-Year Seminar course. During orientation, your advisor can help you figure out which section is right for you.

Since Bridge Week is so essential to your success in the fall semester, your participation in all five days of program activities and sessions is expected. If you need to miss any part of the program, contact our team promptly at iupuifye@iupui.edu.

Yes, you can! Housing and Residence Life will communicate with you directly about early move-in opportunities. 

In the meantime, check out these tips for preparing to move in, or visit the Housing and Residence Live website.

If you plan to live in campus housing this fall, a prorated daily charge for your housing and meal plan will be billed directly to your bursar account.

Students who will be commuting during Bridge Week and do not purchase an early meal plan will be responsible for their own meals, as well as transportation to and from Bridge Week activities, each day.

There are no additional costs for any Bridge Week programming or activities.

Information about where to go and what to do on the first day of Bridge Week will be sent to your email about one week prior to the program start date (be sure to check both your personal and IU email). When you arrive, plan to go directly to the location indicated in the email you received. You can find a map of IU Indianapolis's buildings here, or using the IU Mobile app.

If you still aren’t sure where to go, don’t worry! We’ll have a tent setup in Taylor Courtyard, and volunteers will be around campus to help you find your way—just look for folks wearing red “Welcome to IU Indianapolis” shirts!

• Bring a pen, pencil, and notebook. Your instructor will let you know on the first day if you need any additional materials.
• Dress is casual. Wear comfortable and weather-appropriate clothing and shoes that will allow you to move around campus during the week’s activities.
• You do not need to bring any textbooks to Bridge Week.

Because the details of your Bridge Week schedule are in some ways determined by your major, it’s important you check with your academic advisor to make any necessary schedule changes.
