Dual Credit FAQs
No, students can request a transcript from their dual credit institution and those credits can be transferred to the college he/she plans to attend. Colleges will review transcripted credits to determine how credits will be transferred.
No, dual credits are free which is why they are such a great deal for students and parents.
Good news, dual credits do not expire. Sometimes things happen in life that change our direction as adults. If your student decides to go to college later, they can access these credits!
Students input their mandatory SSN into the college’s system. Your information will not be shared or sold.
Students should always put forth their best effort. A failing grade will appear on their college transcript just as it does for their high school transcript, and could adversely affect college financial aid.
The content is the same for the high school and college courses. Vincennes University does not allow students to drop for failing grades. Students taking Ivy Tech courses can drop their course with no penalty by October 3, 2022 or students can withdraw from the Ivy Tech course(s) by April 18, 2023.
For academic progress standards and financial aid questions, please contact the college of your choice directly.
No, students may earn credits toward a degree. These will be earned credits they will not have to repeat or pay for when they get to college.
Students earn both high school and college credit for the same content.
Students can earn the high school credit only. They will still learn the same content and take the same tests though, so why not earn free dual credit to use later?
For more information about Ivy Tech’s Dual Credit program, please review this Ivy Tech Dual Credit Handbook (the New one will be linked when we have it!)
