Getting Started

University Student looking for a summer class

Knock off some of your General Education requirements-and save money-by taking classes at ICC during the summer and other times during the school year.ICC classes transfer smoothly to other colleges and university, and you will find ICC classes just as challenging as those taught at your home institution. It is always a good idea to talk to your academic advisor about taking ICC classes before you enroll.

  1. Complete an ICC Application
    Fill out the online ICC Application.
  2. Take the Placement Tests required for reading, writing, and math
    If you want to take English or math at ICC, you will need to take the ICC academic placement test. Call the ICC Testing Center to make an appointment at (309) 694-5234.

  3. Request that college transcripts be sent to ICC's Admissions Office
    If the course you plan on taking has a prerequisite you will need to bring in an unofficial copy of your transcripts to your advisement appointment or meeting with an advisor. If you are not meeting with an advisor you will need to contact the appropriate academic department to get approval to enroll in a class. Here are the contact numbers for our Academic Departments:

    Agricultural & Industrial Technologies: (309) 694-5510
    Arts & Communications: (309) 694-5113
