Im out of state and not a DA and im not the best at math so i was wondering if i should get the credit at ivy tech. will it negatively affect my gpa or kelley application if i do?
I strongly recommend taking M118 and M119 at Ivy Tech if you aren’t strong in math. As long as you get a C or better, IU will accept the credit, but it will not go into your GPA.

Kelley doesn’t care for admission purposes whether you take the classes at IU or a CC as long as you meet all of the standard admission requirements.

Since you are out of state I recommend you take Math 118 and 119 at a local community college in your area. No need to pay out of state tuition for Ivy Tech classes. But definitely check with IU; go the “transfer credit” page and you can put in the course you want to take and where, and then they system will tell you what will transfer. When you Finnish the course, you send the transcript to IU. My daughter did this for several classes! We are out of state also and went this route to save money. Good luck!
@paddlemom3 , actually the online tuition for OOS @ Ivy ($158.50 CR*3 w/ minimal fees) is less than my son would pay for in-state NJ CC. Additionally, there does not appear to be many pre-approved transfer options for Finite 118.
My son is strong in math but wants a jump on the pre-I-core bus curriculum. This is one of the few courses that he does not need to worry about having earned credit at an AACSB accredited school.
@NJFather how did your son register for classes at ivy tech? I’m out of state but when I looked into it seemed like I had to apply. You can send me a pm if you want but please let me know I really want to take finite over the summer and no local CCs have it
@Drizzy248 All it took to register was either a HS transcript showing decent math foundation, a college transcript or a standardized test score (all unofficial) to be uploaded. I actually registered him. It took 5-10 mins in total. Within a day, the college was calling to assist him with registration.
@NJFather, keep in mind there is a difference between an online math class and actually sitting in front of a teacher, especially for math, which requires so many steps in understanding to achieve the end result. It completely depends which way a student learns better! I suggest the OP looks at all of their options before they choose.
Just a note to aspiring Ivy Tech students :). Shop around the same course at various Ivy Techs (local or online) because the same course taught at one is different from that of another. DD1 took a math class which ended up having Kumon-level homework (i.e. LOTS) but said homework was all online and counted for 40% of your grade. It may take some investigation but you’ll be surprised. Also, once you graduate and if you have aspirations for grad or professional school, the Ivy Tech (or any transfer) transcript will follow you around since schools you’ll be applying to want a transcript even for 3 credit hours.
Finally, when you apply to Ivy Tech make sure you apply as a GUEST student for a summer or what not, otherwise the long application is for regular students. They may have changed it since.
Hi turbo, I am out of state but was wondering if I could take the class entirely online since I may be gone in another country.
I heard there was online proctors but am unsure if I have to be at actual test site
When my daughter did this in 2012 she had to drive to another Ivy Tech to take the test and they had a real person doing the proctoring. I think they had a list of which Ivy Techs to go to and our local one was not in it. But if you’re in a different country 
that’s kind of hard.
