Freshman Step One
Step One
Freshman applicants should be on track to graduate, or should have graduated, from a commissioned Indiana high school, comparable out-of-state institution or an approved homeschool, successfully completing a college prep curriculum or earned a High School Equivalency Diploma (GED) or Core 40 Diploma.
Effective with the 2011 high school graduating class, the Indiana Core 40 Diploma is a minimum requirement for admission. Students not achieving a Core 40 should apply to Ivy Tech Community College and complete 12 general education credit hours (100 level or higher) then apply to transfer to IU Northwest.
