Q1 I’ve taken classes before. Do I need to submit a new application again?

A: Yes, guest students are required to submit a guest student application for every semester that they would like to register for courses.

A: Your information may not match what we have on file. Please email BL-GuestStudent@ivytech.edu to inquire about your account information. Please include your: Name (First and Last), C#, Date of Birth, and your zip code. We will then verify the information and get in touch.

Q3 How do I register for/add a class?

A: Once your application has been processed, you will receive an email from our guest student team instructing you to complete registration for the courses requested. If you need to add classes that were not originally on your application, please email us to make those changes. If you need to swap sections or drop a course, you can do so on your own via MyIvy. Please refer to the Tuition Sheet on our website for information about refunds and drop dates.

Q4 What if I want to add a course that I did not include in my original application?

A: If you need to add a new course please email BL-GuestStudent@ivytech.edu with the course information (course number and name).

Q5 What if my course is full?

A: If the course is full, our team will provide you with options for different part of term sections or information on how to join the course’s waitlist. Please note, there is no guarantee that you will be allowed entry into a course that is at capacity.

Q6 Why am I getting a pre-requisite error when I try to register?

A: This means you need to a) turn in a guest application b) your application has not been processed by our team (allow 2-3 days for application processing and wait for the email from our team) or c) you are trying to add a course that you did not put on your application. Email the name of the course to BL-GuestStudent@ivytech.edu so that we can add waivers that allow you to register.

Q10 Can I get financial aid at Ivy Tech Community College to pay for my guest student class?

A: Students cannot receive financial aid from two different institutions. If you believe you are part of a program which allows you to use funds to cover the cost of the class, please contact the Financial Aid office at 812-330-6160 or email Bloomington-finaid@ivytech.edu

Q11 I need to order a transcript to send back to my home school?

A: You can order your transcript through your My Ivy account by clicking on your Student tab, selecting Course Info and Request Official Transcripts. This will take you to the National Student Clearinghouse website and they will process your request. Please note that all transcripts must be sent directly to your institution for them to be considered official.

Electronic transcripts need to be sent directly to the school – make sure you have the correct email address!

You may also visit the Bursar’s office, pay $5, and file paperwork for us to mail your transcript. This takes 7-10 business days.
