Ivy Tech Cancels Free Summer Courses for High School Students

The college has released a statement regarding the decision.

INDIANAPOLIS - Ivy Tech Community College has cancelled a program which provided free summer courses to high school students. 

The college announced the decision in the following statement:

"Due to a challenging fiscal environment that is impacting all public higher education institutions in Indiana, Ivy Tech Community College will be unable to offer free summer classes for high school students in 2025. We know how much students and families have valued this opportunity. Ivy Tech remains deeply committed to expanding opportunities for students to access high-quality postsecondary education and training while in high school, including our nationally leading dual credit and dual enrollment program. Our hope is to restore programs like this in the future in collaboration with our community and state partners."

The Indiana Department of Education’s Crossing the Finish Line initiative will be an option for some students for Summer 2025. More information on that will be forthcoming at www.ivytech.edu.
