ACP is a partnership between Indiana University and participating high schools within Indiana. ACP offers college credit to qualified high school seniors (and some juniors) who enroll in IU general education courses that are offered at the students' own high schools during the regular school day and taught by ACP certified high school teachers. ACP courses are designed for students with a solid academic foundation, a desire for more advanced work and a serious commitment to completing the ACP course successfully.
Admission Standards
- On track toward fulfilling the basic academic preparation for admission to a four-year college or university.
- GPA of 2.70 or higher on a 4.00-point scale (as evidenced by a college preparatory curriculum and advanced coursework)
- Have appropriate high school endorsements from teachers and guidance counselors.
If you are interested in participating in the ACP program visit the guidance department at your high school and learn about the procedure for enrollment. Learn more detailed information about the ACP program.

Student rights and responsibilities
IU Northwest awards credit for a variety of College Board Advanced Placement (AP) Exams. With advanced credit, you can enroll in upper-level classes sooner and add a major, minor, or certificate and still graduate in four years.
Individual IU schools, departments, and programs determine the credit awarded for each exam and score. To be considered for credit, have a copy of your score report sent to the IU Northwest Office of Admissions.
Note: UNDI indicates “undistributed” credit that will not be assigned to a specific course but will count toward your college degree.
