Partner with IU

Become an ICC School in Three Steps

Offering the Indiana College Core helps students build confidence in their ability to succeed in college, gives them a step up on their college general education, and is guaranteed to be accepted by all public and many private colleges in Indiana.

Offering the Indiana College Core with Indiana University gives students the opportunity to earn an IU credential at no or low cost, and provides opportunities to teachers to complete graduate coursework for credentialing for free through IU.

IU will work with you to inventory your college-level courses.

IU Campus Connection

IU will connect your school with a dedicated IU-ICC coordinator from the nearest IU campus. They will help you review your college-level offerings to see how close you are to delivering the ICC.

Your IU-ICC Coordinator will
  1. Identify IU and non-IU dual credit offerings at your high school.
  2. Identify eligible AP, IB, and CLEP exams at your high school.
  3. Map these findings to ICC competency areas.

Q: Do the offerings at your high school meet the requirements?

To earn the ICC, students must complete 30 credit hours of college-level coursework in six competencies, 15 of which are earned through a primary postsecondary partner like IU.

Let’s work together to fill in the gaps.

Your IU-ICC Coordinator will work with you to develop a plan for adding the credits needed to deliver the ICC, including:

  • Adding free IU dual credit courses through the Advance College Project (ACP).
  • Adding tuition-based online and campus courses.
  • Adding other postsecondary institution courses and exam scores.
