Dual Credit Pipeline #
The ACP Dual Credit Pipeline is designed as a sustainable approach to ensure that all Indiana teachers offering dual credit courses on and after Sept 1, 2025, are eligible, trained, supported, and delivering the highest quality college course. To accomplish this objective, the Pipeline combines IU graduate coursework with ongoing programmatic support that matches expectations of the on-campus department/academic unit, and Higher Learning Commission.
