LPN to BS Program FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
I've taken all my courses at Ivy Tech; do I need to forward my transcripts to Ivy Tech-Wabash Valley?
NO, Ivy Tech will not need a copy of your transcripts. If you've taken courses at another college (not an Ivy Tech), you might want to forward those transcripts so we can verify course equivalency. However, before beginning Phase 2 of the program, ISU will require official copies of all your transcripts.
Back to FAQ
Where do I send my nursing license? Do I have to be a Licensed Practical Nurse to start?
You need to fax or mail a copy of your nursing license to Ivy Tech-Wabash Valley after you've completed an application for admission. You must have a current nursing license before starting Phase 2 of this program.

How does financial aid work for this program?
Financial Aid is available for those that qualify. Specific questions about financial assistance should be address by a financial aid representative at the institution where you plan to enroll.
Back to FAQ
I've had MAT 111 and COM 102 while preparing for my RN, will these two courses work for this program?
Yes and NO. MAT 111 can be transferred to ISU in lieu of MAT 102. However, the COM 102 is not a speech class and therefore is not equivalent COM 101. For specific question on course applicability, please visit CAS -Course Applicability System

Course transfer is done on an individual basis. If you provide us an unofficial transcript, we can tell you if the courses will transfer.
