Changing Lives Making Indiana Great.
Navigating your way through college is easier with a little help. Our team of advisors is committed to ensuring you receive the assistance you need. Ivy Tech offers advising in three areas critical to your success:
ACADEMIC ADVISING
You are strongly encouraged to meet with an academic advisor to develop your class schedule and academic plans. By investing just a little time with an advisor, you’ll be well positioned to choose classes aligned with your needs and goals and graduate on schedule.
CAREER ADVISING AND PLANNING
Career advising and planning is essential for determining a future course of study or a future job decision. Our advisors work to understand your goals and help you explore your options, learn about wages and benefits associated with different careers, and improve your skills in areas like resume preparation and interviewing.
TRANSFER ADVISING

Walk-in advisors are available every day to address general questions about registration and schedule updates. Please note that you may have to wait for the walk-in advisor to be available, and that the walk-in advisor may not be your assigned advisor.
Can I be advised through e-mail?
We can answer very basic registration questions via e-mail. If your question involves your degree progress, course schedule, degree changes, or transfer plans, please make an appointment.
How do I know which classes I have to take?

After you have planned your course schedule with an advisor, you can register online through Campus Connect. Go to the My Ivy Tech section and click on Course Search to look for classes, or click on Add or Drop Classes to register for classes or to adjust your schedule.
Can I drop or withdraw from a class?
Yes, but it is important to understand that there is difference between drop and withdraw:
DROP
A drop occurs within the first days/weeks of the term, and is accompanied by a 100% tuition refund. If you drop a course, this course will not appear on your official academic record.
The official deadline date is determined by the number of weeks a particular course lasts. All official drop dates are e-mailed to students via their Ivy Tech e-mail account, and are posted at http://ivytech.edu/sellersburg/.
WITHDRAW
A withdraw occurs after the official drop deadline has passed. If you withdraw from a course, you will receive a W on your transcript, but this will not impact your grade point average.
Withdrawn courses do count as attempted hours, and can potentially impact your financial aid eligibility. You should always consult with Financial Aid before withdrawing from a course.
