If you’ve never applied to Ivy Tech before (or if it’s been two years since you last attended classes here), you’ll need to complete an admission application. The application is completely free and has no testing or GPA requirements. There is no deadline for admission, but we recommend applying early to make sure you have time to complete required enrollment steps before your term begins.
Check out our How to Apply page for more information on each application.
It takes approximately 7-10 business days to process your application. Once you are accepted, you will receive an email as well as a physical acceptance packet in the mail that contains your C-number and next steps.
If it’s been more than ten business days since you’ve applied and you have not received any updates, contact Admissions at 888-IVY-LINE (888-489-5463) or ivytech.edu/chat.
Congratulations! You have just a few more steps you need to complete before you can register for classes. We recommend setting up a meeting with an Enrollment Specialist who can help walk you through each step and make sure you’re ready for your first day of class. We’ve also put together a complete New Student Checklist that includes all of your required enrollment steps.
Our 8-week class sessions start five times throughout the year—January, March, June, August, and October. Make sure you check the academic calendar for specific start dates and other important events.
