The Dedicated to Enrichment, Achievement, and Persistence (DEAP) Program is open to all IU Indianapolis students who can benefit from holistic support throughout their academic journey. DEAP is designed to engage, connect, affirm, and guide students toward academic success.
We recognize that the college experience is rarely traveled alone. The journey to college—and the challenges of completing an undergraduate degree—are often shared by families. Along this path, DEAP is here to assist students throughout their collegiate experience.
DEAP is committed to helping students make a smooth and fulfilling transition to IU Indianapolis. From the first day students join DEAP—whether as first-year, transfer, or current students—the program serves as a resource and partner throughout their undergraduate career. DEAP helps students start their IU Indianapolis experience with confidence and equips them with the tools to achieve academic excellence, build professional networks, and access the wealth of resources available both on campus and in the Indianapolis community.
Despite these advantages, some students, unfortunately, do not take full advantage of available resources. We encourage students to actively participate in DEAP initiatives and services. Please join us in encouraging your student to stay engaged and to seek support proactively if they encounter any challenges. We extend our hand, but we can only help when students are willing to accept our support. Our philosophy is simple: all students are capable of maximizing their potential.
If you have any questions or need assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact our office.
