The ASAP program at Ivy Tech has more specific admission criteria than Ivy Tech as a whole. Prospective ASAP students must:
Students interested in pursuing an associate degree with the Ivy Tech Community College’s ASsociate Accelerated Program (ASAP) program must first apply to the ASAP program.
Once your application is received, an ASAP coordinator will contact you via email and/or text. Your campus ASAP coordinator will personally help you navigate through the enrollment process.
The second step is to submit the Ivy Tech general application and complete the requirements for admission to the college. Admission to the college does not ensure acceptance to an ASAP program.
Your high school transcript will be evaluated to determine if you meet the requirements for admission to an ASAP program. You must have a high school GPA of at least 2.5 and a strong attendance record.
Upload your high school transcript
Have your counselor, favorite teacher, employer, or coach nominate you for the ASAP program here. Letters of recommendation can also be emailed directly to local campus ASAP staff.
Not every campus requires interviews, but the ASAP coordinator will let you know if they need to be scheduled.
It’s important to regularly check your email. Important information regarding the program will be sent to the email address you provide.
