Dual Credit
Dual credit is the term given to courses in which high school students have the opportunity to earn both high school and college credit simultaneously. Shawe Memorial Jr/Sr High School has a dual credit partnership with Ivy Tech Community College. All dual credit courses are taught by Shawe faculty on our campus. Shawe faculty must meet Ivy Tech credentialing requirements and the course syllabus must be aligned with the corresponding course at Ivy Tech. Students who meet prerequisites (PSAT, SAT, Knowledge Assessment, or GPA) and who earn at least a C average in the course will earn Ivy Tech college credit in addition to the high school credit.
Students have the opportunity to earn dual credit for the following courses. Refer to the Shawe Grading System for details about how dual credit courses are weighted in regards to GPA.

Indiana College Core
The Indiana College Core (ICC) was established in 2012 as SEA 182. It is a collection of courses that are based upon a set of competencies in the areas of Foundational Intellectual Skills and Ways of Knowing. Shawe partners with Ivy Tech Community College to prepare students for transfer to the baccalaureate-degree granting state institution of their choice. If at least 30 college credits are accumulated and at least one course in each competency category, then the ICC credential will be earned. This credential/block of courses is equal to a full year of college and it is state-mandated that the block will transfer to any public university in Indiana.
