Indiana College Core
Get all the details.
We partner with local schools to provide you with the opportunity to earn a block of 30 college credits that can be transferred to any public college or university in Indiana. These college courses fill specific competency requirements that make up the general education requirements for most bachelor degrees. To complete this program, you must meet the following requirements:
- Earn 30 credits across two categories: Foundational Intellectual Skills and Ways of Knowing
- Complete three credits from each ICC competency through a mix of AP and IB classes, PFW courses, and other university courses
- Earn at least 15 credits through PFW
- Meet with your school advisor either to discuss progress and goals
Note: Earning the ICC does not guarantee exemption from additional general education requirements at any institution. Please see the linked ICC Certificate for your school for more information, Leo and Fremont High Schools will be added in the Fall of 2025.
Course Records
Your grades (and privacy) matter.
Dual-credit grades that are earned through Collegiate Connection will be recorded by your high school instructor and will be reflected on both your high school and permanent college transcript. It‘s important to remember that these courses are challenging for a reason—they are college-level courses that you are taking as a high school student. Poor grades will be reflected on your permanent transcript, therefore take the courses seriously.
Struggling? You have options. First, seek out academic support resources either at your high school or on the PFW campus. If you feel like these additional supports won't be enough, then you may withdraw from the course up to the semester’s deadline.
Note: If you earn a grade of a D+ or lower, then you will not be eligible to enroll for another Collegiate Connection course for one enrollment term, unless it is to retake the initial course for a better grade.
Once you enroll in PFW courses, whether you are on campus or in your high school, your records and privacy are protected by the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act, even if you are a minor. That means that your records are private and only accessible by you. That also means if you need information or help from one of our departments, it needs to be you, the student that requests it. Not your parent or guardian. This may seem like a roadblock, but it is a step designed to protect you. For further information check out the registrar website.
