Getting Started for a HIGH SCHOOL FRESHMAN, SOPHOMORE, OR JUNIOR

You can print off these instructions and track your progress.

There are two ways you can earn college credit while you are still in high school. One is to sign up for an ICC class at one of the ICC campuses using the steps below. The other option is to take a Dual Credit class offered through your high school. To learn more about Dual Credit options, please contact your high school guidance counselor. The minimum age to enroll part-time at ICC is 16, and the minimum age to enroll full-time is 17. Some exceptions can be made to this policy for special circumstances. Please contact the Admissions Deparment at (309) 694-5353 if you have questions.
