Guide for the Guest Student Application (GSA)

If you have a student who is currently enrolled at IUPUI and wants to take a class at Ivy Tech, they must complete the guest student application. 

Ivy Tech guest student application process

Purpose:

IUPUI students can register for and enroll in course(s) at Ivy Tech Community College-Indianapolis Service Area while maintaining IUPUI as their home institution via the Ivy Tech Guest Student Application.

To qualify for the use of the Ivy Tech Guest Student Application, an IUPUI student must be in good standing and concurrently enrolled in at least one course at IUPUI for fall and spring semesters. There is no concurrent enrollment requirement for the summer semester unless the student plans to use the Passport Financial Assistance Agreement.

Deadlines:

  • Preferred Deadline: Five (5) weeks before the start of the course
  • Processing Deadline: One (1) week before the start of the course
  • Final Deadline (not recommended unless extenuating circumstances): Monday before the start of the course
  • If an IUPUI student turns in the Ivy Tech Guest Student Application later than the ‘processing deadline’ above, there is no guarantee Ivy Tech can process the application before the course begins.

*Please contact the Passport Office to confirm deadlines, as they are subject to change per semester.

NOTE: Ivy Tech begins registering for courses one (1) month before IUPUI. It is recommended that students turn in a completed Ivy Tech Guest Student Application as soon as possible.

  1. The Ivy Tech Guest Student Application should be filled out first. IUPUI students are required to provide proof of academic standing with IUPUI by providing Ivy Tech with one of the following: a verification of academic standing form (to be completed by an IUPUI advisor), a current IUPUI transcript, or other written verification. Submitting proof of academic standing will ensure the IUPUI student is in good standing at IUPUI. If the IUPUI student plans to utilize their IUPUI financial aid to pay for the Ivy Tech guest course(s), an IUPUI academic advisor MUST sign the Passport Financial Assistance Agreement.
  2. To view Ivy Tech’s course offerings, visit their course schedule search. You may select multiple Ivy Tech campuses, but if the IUPUI student plans to use the Passport Financial Assistance Agreement, be sure to select an Indianapolis Service Area Location. If you select a course that is not in the Ivy Tech Indianapolis Service Area region, the Passport Financial Assistance Agreement Form cannot be utilized.
  3. Students should submit the Ivy Tech Guest Student Application online directly to Ivy Tech Admissions electronically.
  4. Approximately 7-10 Ivy Tech business days after you have submitted the Ivy Tech Guest Student Application, the IUPUI student will receive an email with instructions on how to log into ‘My Ivy’ to enroll in their Ivy Tech guest course(s). As a reminder, the student must register/enroll in the Ivy Tech course(s) through their Ivy Tech ‘My Ivy’ account; the Ivy Tech Guest Student Application will not automatically enroll the IUPUI student in the Ivy Tech guest course(s).
  5. If the IUPUI student would like to pay for their Ivy Tech guest course(s) with their awarded IUPUI financial aid, the student will also need a Passport Financial Assistance Agreement (process outlined below).
  6. A new Ivy Tech Guest Student Application must be completed every semester and the IUPUI student may only register for the courses listed on the application.

NOTE: Students must receive a minimum grade of "C" or above unless a higher grade is needed as noted by a student's IUPUI academic advisor, for the Ivy Tech course to transfer to IUPUI and apply toward the student’s IUPUI major.

Saudi Arabian Cultural Mission (SACM) Students
After an IUPUI SACM student submits their Ivy Tech Guest Student Application, the student should prepare to submit two (2) items to their SACM advisor:

1. A letter of admission from Ivy Tech. The email as mentioned above from Ivy Tech’s Admissions Office will satisfy this requirement.

2. A letter from the student’s IUPUI academic advisor explaining why the student is taking the course at Ivy Tech instead of IUPUI.

From there, the student’s SACM advisor will prepare a letter of financial promise to Ivy Tech. The student will then need to submit this letter to Ivy Tech’s Financial Aid Office.

The letter may be submitted in person to Ivy Tech’s Express Enrollment Services on the first floor of the NMC building at 50 W. Fall Creek Parkway, North Drive. Or, it may also be submitted to indy-finaid@ivytech.edu.

When a student has completed their Ivy Tech guest course(s), they must request an official transcript from Ivy Tech to IUPUI for a fee of $5 to ensure the credit hours transfer to IUPUI.
