on this page.
Meet with a Student Affairs counselor to discuss
your interests and educational options at Ivy Tech Community
College of Indiana. Appointments are preferred, but walk-ins
are welcome.
APPLY! Complete a free Application
for Admission (online
application or mail-in
application). Request an official copy of your high
school transcript or GED scores (
transcript request form). If you have previously completed
college coursework at a regionally accredited college or
university, have an official transcript sent to us for assessment
waiver and transfer purposes. As part of the admissions
process, all degree-seeking students must have this information
on file in the Student Affairs Office.
Many types of financial aid are available such
as grants, scholarships, and student loans. Students interested
in applying for aid must complete the
FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). If
you have questions about financial aid, set up an appointment
with the Financial Aid Office as soon as possible.
Degree-seeking students must take and courses-only
students may need to take an assessment
(COMPASS or ASSET) test. This is Ivy Tech’s assessment
instrument that will assist you and your academic advisor
in making appropriate course selections. Contact the Student
Affairs Office to sign up for a testing session. There is
no charge to take the COMPASS or ASSET. Special Note for Distance Education Students: If
you do not live near an Ivy Tech Campus, you may make arrangements
for taking the assessment at a college near you. For information
on taking our Admission assessment at another college please
contact Jan Dykstra of ACT at 319-337-1376. ACT will locate
the closest institution that provides either the COMPASS
or ASSET. When you contact the host institution, let them
know that you are a distance education student and need
to complete the assessment for admission requirements at
your home institution. There may or may not be a minimal
charge. Send your results to the appropriate Ivy Tech Community
College of Indiana Campus.
After taking the assessment test, make an appointment
to meet with an academic advisor to register for classes
by filling out the course reservation form. This is a good
time to ask questions about your program area, too. Degree-seeking
students must meet with an academic advisor prior to registration.
Courses-only students are also encouraged to meet with an
advisor or a Student Affairs counselor.
Take the course reservation form you completed
with your advisor to Student Affairs where your course information
will be entered into the computer system and fees assessed.
If you are receiving financial aid, check with the Financial
Aid Office to make sure that all of your paperwork is in
order and allow at least one week for processing of aid.
When you are ready to pay your tuition/fees
or charge to your financial aid award, pick up your course
reservation form from Student Affairs and take it to the
Bookstore/Business Office. You are not officially registered
until you complete this step and payment arrangements have
been made.
Buy your books. The campus Bookstore/Business
Office will provide the necessary books and supplies for
your courses. You may pay for your books and supplies or
charge against your financial aid award. Always get your
books prior to the first class session. Read a few chapters
ahead if possible so that you will be prepared for your
first class.
Attend a New Student Orientation Session. Orientation
sessions are presented for all new students prior to the
beginning of every semester. The sessions provide information
concerning policies, procedures, and student life opportunities
at the campus. Contact Student Affairs to schedule a session.
Attend every class. There are hundreds of reasons
why you might consider skipping class. Our experience shows,
however, that the single best predictor of class performance
is attendance. The general rule is “be in class whenever
possible.” If you must miss a class, make sure to
contact your instructor as soon as possible to explain your
situation and to talk about making up the missed assignment.
Last, but not least, contact your advisor,
or the Student Affairs Office, whenever you have a question.
Don’t wait for a question to become a problem. We
want you to be successful and are here to help!
