High school students may choose to enroll in an Online, on-campus, or virtual course at Iowa Central Community College. Internet courses taken through the Internet Based-Senior Year Plus Program can be concurrent enrollment courses at Iowa Central and are available to high school students. Students must meet Iowa Central’s admission requirements (placement test) and any co or pre-requisite of the course they are registering for. Each high school determines which Online, on-campus, and virtual courses are approved.

• Online Courses – courses are asynchronous, and are taught via the internet using Canvas.  Students can enroll in an Online course only during registration before the term and during the first 4 College calendar days of the term.  Enrollment is closed in Online courses after the add period.  Online courses are structured and have weekly required assignments and discussion postings. Each week will begin on a Tuesday and end the following Monday at 11:59 p.m. (CST/CDT).

• On Campus or Virtual Courses – Students can enroll in a course on an Iowa Central campus only during the first 5 days of the College’s semester.

The student must fill out the Senior Year Plus enrollment form with a designated person at the high school, usually the counselor or principal. There is no cost to the student for the course and the school is billed for each course. Students may be responsible for purchasing textbooks or supplies for any semester in which they are enrolled. Students must check with their local school district for policies related to textbooks.
