Diploma Requirements

To earn an IUHS diploma, you must successfully complete at least 40 credits distributed among various subject areas. At least 5 of the 40 credits must be earned through Indiana University High School.

A 1-credit IUHS course covers the same amount of material as a traditional high school semester course.

An IUHS academic advisor will help you determine how credits from course work you’ve completed in another high school program can transfer to the IUHS 40-credit minimum graduation requirement.

Registering for Courses before Being Admitted to IUHS

Although you may register for IUHS courses before you are formally admitted to the diploma program, be aware that the courses you take may not necessarily apply toward IUHS graduation requirements. Please talk to an IUHS academic advisor before you register for courses to ensure the courses meet IUHS graduation requirements.

Suggested College Prep Program and Academic Honors Diploma

College bound? Call an IUHS advisor about additional courses you will need to take in English, math, science, social studies, and foreign languages, and for other information you may need for admission to colleges and universities.

Important: The suggested college prep program and the academic honors diploma satisfy the minimum academic standards recommended for admission to Indiana University, as well as many other universities and colleges. However, completing these programs does not guarantee admission. If you plan to attend college, talk to an IUHS academic advisor or to an advisor at the university or college you plan to attend for information about specific college admission requirements (for example, required high school courses, grades, SAT score, and extracurricular activities).

Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT)

Indiana University High School diploma students may apply for the SAT through the Educational Testing Service. Application may be made online or through application forms available in local public schools or libraries.

Important: Indiana University High School’s ETS code is 150219.
