The affiliation of the University of Indianapolis and the United Methodist Church reflects a union for mutual benefit. The University of Indianapolis depends on the support of the church. This support includes, but is not limited to, financial support from the North and South Indiana conferences and their members. The University of Indianapolis also depends on the church to send its youth as students and to recommend qualified church leaders to the Board of Trustees to provide leadership. In turn, the United Methodist Church may depend on the University of Indianapolis to provide students with high-quality academic experiences in an environment in which the values of the church are stressed. The church can also depend on the University to provide continuing education courses and seminars.
The University of Indianapolis maintains national affiliation for its athletics programs through membership in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division II. The institution is a fully participating member of two outstanding athletics conferences as well. The Great Lakes Valley Conference conducts championships in all sports sponsored by the University, except football, wrestling, and swimming. The football and men's and women's swimming and diving teams' programs enjoy championship competition opportunities via the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference through the University's affiliate membership. The University's wrestling program is quite competitive as well; however, no NCAA Division II conference within the University's range of affiliation presently has enough such teams participating to conduct championships in this sport.
The University of Indianapolis, through its membership in a nationwide project known as Service Members Opportunity Colleges, cooperates with hundreds of other colleges and universities in providing postsecondary educational opportunities for military personnel and veterans.

Information about services the University provides to military service personnel is available in the Office of the Registrar. Veterans benefit eligibility and certification is administered by the Office of the Registrar.
The University of Indianapolis seeks and maintains agreements with several institutions of higher education throughout the world.
