If you have any questions, please email us at PROJECTEXCEL@VINU.EDU

IMPORTANT FORMS

ONLINE APPLICATION

ONLINE APPLICATION

All new and returning VU Dual Credit students must complete the online application each term to begin the enrollment process. Our online portal integrates both the application and course selection into one streamlined step.

  • New Students: Create an account and submit your application to be admitted and assigned a VU Student ID (A#). This ID is required for all enrollments and Accuplacer placement testing.
  • Returning Students: Log in to your existing account, select the current term, and update your contact information.

Course Selection & Approval
After submitting your application, students will proceed directly to the course selection screen. Please note that selecting a course is a request and does not guarantee immediate enrollment. Our team must verify that you meet all course requirements before you are officially added to the roster. Students can track their approval status at any time through their student portal.

ELECTRONIC BILLING

VU utilizes an electronic billing (eBill) system for all students, allowing students, or their parents, to submit an online payment using a credit card or e-check. Electronic billing statements, for Project EXCEL dual credit courses, will be sent directly to the student’s VU-x (formerly known as MyVU) account.

Please refer to the document below for more information and instructions. Fees may also be paid via phone, through VU's Bursar, at 812-888-4244. Press option 7 and have the student's VU Student ID Number (A#) or Social Security Number available for verification purposes.

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.

Additional information may be found on the Office of Diverse Abilities and Accommodations website, under EARLY COLLEGE/PROJECT EXCEL DUAL CREDIT, or by contacting the Diverse Abilities and Accommodations office at  DISABILITYSERVICES@VINU.EDU or 812-888-4501.

DUAL CREDIT CROSSWALKS & FAQ

INDIANA PRIORITY DUAL CREDIT CROSSWALKS AND FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)

Crosswalks provide high schools and career centers with the designated IDOE coursework (course code and title) that directly correlates to the post-secondary institution course information. The courses on this crosswalk count toward the Academic and Technical Honors Diploma requirements, and the school's A-F accountability grade.

Crosswalks are not an exclusive list of all dual credit courses that schools may offer to their students, but rather the courses that have been approved through the Indiana Commission for Higher Education (ICHE) as Priority Dual Credit Courses.

Crosswalks will be updated periodically.
