Information for Dual Credit/Dual Enrollment Students
Who is eligible for Dual Credit/Dual Enrollment?
It is the policy of the Board of Trustees of Illinois Valley Community College that current high school students, ages 16 and older, will be permitted to attend IVCC. Such students wishing to take college courses during the regular high school day must submit written authorization from their designated high school official detailing the number of courses and/or semester hours and the particular courses for which the student wishes to enroll. Additionally, such students must take and pass any necessary placement exams. Transfer-related questions can be discussed with an IVCC counselor.
Students under the age of 16 who wish to enroll in any courses must petition the Vice President for Student Services. Information, including the appropriate forms, can be obtained by calling (815) 224-0361 or contacting Counseling Center, counseling@ivcc.edu, Room CTC 202.
Students who are at least 16 years of age who no longer attend high school and do not have verification of a severed relationship with their high school must wait until their high school class graduates to enroll at IVCC.
Home schooled students: Students who have been home schooled must provide transcripts and/or GED scores (if available). Students not having either of these documents must contact the Office of Admissions and Records. Students must take any necessary placement exams. Transfer-related questions can be discussed with an IVCC Counselor. Home schooled students who wish to enroll in any courses before their official completion of high school curriculum must follow the same process as listed above. *Exceptional circumstances may be reviewed by petitioning the Vice President for Student Services. The form for appeal is available in the Counseling Center and the Admissions Office.
