Look Out for Confirmation Emails

1. Email #1 – Once you complete the DualEnroll application, you will receive an email from DuelEnroll.com requesting you confirm your new account. In that email click the "Confirm my account" link. This email should arrive within minutes of submitting the application.
2. Email #2 – After you have confirmed your account, you will immediately get a confirmation email that your DualEnroll.com account has been activated.
3. Email #3 – You will receive a third email from DualEnroll.com once your application has been processed, usually about a day later. Welcome to Ivy Tech! This email will contain your student identification number (also known as your C#) and your Ivy Tech username and outline your next steps. If you don't receive this welcome email, check your “junk mail” or spam folder. 

Look Out for a Letter

You will also receive a letter in the mail at the address that was provided on the application containing your Ivy Tech student identification number (otherwise known as your C#). If you haven't received a letter within two weeks, please contact your local Dual Credit representative.

Note the confirmation email and letter do NOT guarantee that you will receive college credit.

College Readiness

Some dual credit courses require students to submit qualifying score(s) before they are deemed “college-ready.” Depending on the course, this college-ready score could be:

• A PSAT 10 score, SAT score, or ACT score
• A cumulative GPA of 2.6 or higher for juniors and seniors
  NOTE: GPA alone will not qualify students for: MATH 135, 136, 137, 201, 211, 212, CHEM 101, PHYS 101, or SDEV 140.

Knowledge Assessment

If you do not have previous college credit, an ACT, SAT or PSAT score, or a cumulative high school GPA that satisfies the assessment requirement, you will need to complete the Knowledge Assessment. The Knowledge Assessment assesses your level in reading, writing, and mathematics. The assessment is free and your score will be accepted up to four years after you take the assessment.

Help Video: Accessing Knowledge Assessment

To learn how to access Knowledge Assessment through your student MyIvy account to meet prerequisite requirements for dual credit courses, watch this helpful video tutorial:

Prerequisites

A prerequisite is a requirement that a student must have taken prior to enrolling in a specific course or program. Some dual credit courses require students to take prerequisites before they can register for a course. Prerequisites vary by course and some courses do not have prerequisites, so it’s important to work with a high school or Ivy Tech staff member who can assist you.

See the Dual Credit Prerequisite Chart for a complete list of the prerequisite courses and qualifying scores for each dual credit course.

Register for Classes

You will immediately make course registration requests on DualEnroll.com once your account is processed. The courses available to you are determined by what’s offered at your home high school and applicable career center.
