Academic Services
 ETS encourages all participants to take academically challenging
courses to ensure a positive transition to postsecondary education.
We voluntarily monitor all high school participants for compliance
with Indiana CORE 40 and
ISTEP/GQE requirements.
The Indiana General Assembly has made completion of Core 40 a
graduation requirement for all students beginning with those
entering high school fall 2007. The legislation includes an opt-out
provision for parents who determine that their student could benefit
more from the General Diploma. The legislation also makes Core 40 a
minimum college admission requirement for the state’s public
four-year universities beginning in fall 2011.
Course and Credit requirements by graduating class:
Classes of 2011 and Beyond
Class of 2010
Classes of 2008 and 2009
