Ivy Tech recommends that students submit high school transcripts, college transcripts or SAT/ACT/PSAT scores if the transcripts or test scores meet the assessment requirements listed below. If you do not meet the assessment requirements listed below, no worries - just submit your application and you will receive further information in your acceptance packet on how we can assist you with the assessment step.
Have you already taken the ACT, SAT, or PSAT? In most cases, scores of 27 in Writing and Language, 25 in Reading and 500 in Math or higher on each section of the SAT*; 26 in writing, 25 in reading and 24.5 in math or higher on each section of the PSAT**; or 17 in English, 18 in reading, 18 in math or higher on each section of the ACT can be accepted for your assessment if they were completed within the last four years. *SAT scores based on tests taken in 2016 and beyond. **PSAT scores based on tests taken 2015 and beyond. Older test scores may also be accepted. Check the table for older SAT and PSAT score ranges.
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 six high school semesters have been completed. If you meet these requirements, please upload your high school transcripts.
Have you already earned college credits or an Associate degree at another college or university? General education courses taken at another regionally accredited institution, with a grade of "C-" or higher, may be used to complete the assessment requirement. If you meet these requirements, please upload your college transcripts. Please note, transcripts that are uploaded here will be evaluated for assessment only. If you would like your transcripts evaluated for transfer credit also, you will need to submit an official copy from your former institution’s Registrar that is signed and sealed to your regional Registrar's office for evaluation.
