Bridge Week marks the official start of the fall semester for incoming freshmen at IU Indianapolis. Throughout the week, you'll have the chance to meet people, ask questions, and adjust to college life before your fall classes even begin. While your Bridge Week experience may vary slightly, depending on your school or major, all first-year students will participate in activities and attend events that will allow you to explore campus, get to know fellow freshmen, learn about college expectations, and much more to set you up for success at IU Indianapolis.
Incoming freshmen are expected to attend Bridge Week activities from 9 a. Here's an example of how you might expect a typical day of Bridge Week to look:. If you need to miss any part of the program, please contact us promptly at fyeindy iu.
