The Ivy Tech application is free and should only take about 10-15 minutes to complete. At the end of the application, you will have the opportunity to upload assessment documents - such as SAT/ACT/PSAT scores or high school and college transcripts - that demonstrate your college readiness. Don't have any of these documents? Don’t worry! Just go ahead and submit your application. There are several different ways to complete assessment, which will be explained in more detail in your acceptance packet. This helps us make sure you are taking classes that are the right fit for you.

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT WAYS TO COMPLETE ASSESSMENT?

We will accept any of the following:

SAT scores of 25 or higher in reading, 27 or higher in writing and language, and 500 or higher in math on tests taken within the last four years.  *Scores may vary depending on the year the SAT was completed.
