About ACP
Through the Advance College Project (ACP), students take actual Indiana University courses while still in high school, earning high school and college credit at the same time. These courses carry IU academic expectations and credit while helping students explore subjects more deeply, build confidence and independence, and connect their learning to their plans after high school.
IU courses through ACP are taught during the regular school day by specially trained high school educators who are selected, trained, and supported by IU faculty. Students who enroll for IU credit become IU students for the course, and their grades and credit become part of an official IU transcript. Credits earned through ACP may transfer to other colleges and universities, but each institution determines how transferred credit applies to its degree requirements. Students can learn more in the ACP Student Handbook’s guide to transcripts and transferring credits.
ACP was a founding member of the National Alliance of Concurrent Enrollment Partnerships in 1999 and remains nationally accredited. NACEP accreditation recognizes programs that meet national standards for faculty qualifications, course content, student outcomes, and institutional support. ACP has been reaccredited through 2032–33.
