At Indiana State University, priority registration for graduate students is based on the number of earned credit hours. For example, in April 2016, graduate students who were seniors with at least 90 earned credit hours were able to register between April 11 and 24.

Continuing and non-degree-seeking or guest graduate students are scheduled for priority registration by their graduate program. If you have not been enrolled in two or more of the most recent fall/spring semesters but have been enrolled previously, contact the School of Graduate Studies to begin the readmission process.
Additionally, if you are a graduate student currently taking classes at another IU campus but want to take a class at IU Indianapolis, you will need to apply as a temporary intercampus transfer. Graduate and professional students have different eligibility criteria and application steps in this case.

Priority registration by credit hours
Priority registration at Indiana State University is based on the total number of credit hours a student has earned. Students with a higher number of earned credit hours are given priority and are able to register for courses earlier than students with fewer credit hours. This system ensures that students with more advanced standing have the opportunity to secure their preferred courses and build their schedules before those with lower standing.
During priority registration, students with 90 or more earned credit hours, typically graduate students and seniors, are given the earliest opportunity to register. This group is often followed by juniors with at least 60 earned credit hours. The registration then proceeds for sophomores with a minimum of 30 credit hours, and finally, freshmen with 29 or fewer earned credit hours are given the latest time slots.
The specific dates for priority registration vary each semester and year. For example, in Summer 2016, priority registration for graduate students and seniors with 90+ earned credit hours was held from March 7 to 10, while freshmen with 29 or fewer earned credit hours registered from March 9 to 10. In April 2016, a similar pattern was followed, with graduate students and seniors registering first from April 11 to 24, and freshmen registering last from April 21 to 24.
It's important for students to be mindful of their assigned registration dates and act promptly to secure their preferred courses. Registering early increases the likelihood of getting into desired classes and accommodating individual schedules. Students are encouraged to review their degree audits, meet with their academic advisors, and make informed course selections before their designated registration period.
While priority registration is based primarily on earned credit hours, there may be additional factors to consider. For instance, certain majors or programs might have specific requirements or restrictions. Additionally, new students, including freshmen and transfer students, typically register during orientation programs, which might differ from the standard priority registration schedule.
