Dual Credit Documentation

Students must meet all minimum placement scores and/or course prerequisite requirements established for enrollment in VU dual credit courses and must have PSAT, SAT, ACT, and/or ACCUPLACER scores on record with VU prior to the beginning of the semester in which the course is offered. Please refer to the Early College Course Listing and Placement Chart for course-specific prerequisites and minimum placement scores.

What is the Accuplacer Exam?

The VU Accuplacer placement exam may be utilized for students who have not taken the PSAT, SAT, or ACT, or whose scores on these tests do not meet the minimum required reading, writing, and/or math scores. All students must use a VU student ID (A#) in order to take the VU Accuplacer exam.  New students must complete the Early College Application at least one week prior to testing in order to obtain their student ID. 

Students may retest 14 days after their last test date and are permitted two retests per academic year. Free test prep information can be found on the VU Testing Center website or by calling 812-888-5404.

Diverse Abilities & Accommodations

Students seeking accommodations and support from VU’S OFFICE OF DIVERSE ABILITIES AND ACCOMMODATIONS must submit their request and DOCUMENTATION prior to, or at the beginning of, the semester in which they are enrolled for dual credit courses. In the college setting, the accommodations authorized may not match those granted for high school courses, since the laws that apply to colleges and universities are not the same laws that apply to the K through 12 school system. Students taking dual credit courses, for college credit, are held to the college requirements.
