Take High School or College Courses

• IU High School offers more than 100 high school, dual credit, and advanced placement distance-education courses—many of them online. They’re a great way to take courses not available at your school, learn from home, or earn college credit.
• Through our Advance College Project (ACP), seniors at select Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio high schools can enroll in college courses that take place at their schools during the regular school day, giving them a head start on college course work.
• If you’re a high school student who lives near IU Bloomington, you can enroll in IU courses and receive college credit. The OPEN Program is for highly motivated and high-achieving high school juniors and seniors.
