High School GPA• Generally, a high school cumulative GPA of 2.6 or higher on a 4.0 scale will

meet the assessment requirement if this was your final GPA at the time of graduation and if you completed high school within the last four years.

• You must have graduated with a Core 40, Technical Honors, or Academic Honors diploma or equivalent.

• High school seniors who have not yet graduated can use the cumulative GPA after seven high school semesters have been completed.

• Students can bring a copy of the high school transcript to campus or visit http://www.ivytech.edu/assessment/gpasubmit.html to find out where to send high school transcripts.

College Transcripts• If the student is a Transfer Student, they have likely already earned

college credits or an Associate degree at another college or university. – If so, the student should submit the college transcript to the Admissions Office (

http://www.ivytech.edu/admissions/contacts.html for a list of contacts) or bring the transcript to campus.

• General education courses taken at another regionally accredited institution, with a grade of "C-" or higher, may be used to waive the ACCUPLACER exam.

• Test must be taken on an Ivy Tech campus, visit www.ivytech.edu/assessment to make an appointment

• Test includes writing, math and reading comprehension sections.

• Test will take 3+ hours to complete.
