Indiana College Core Outreach Survey

With the release of the 2021 Early College Credit Report in January, the Indiana Commission for Higher Education officially unveiled a new name for the Statewide Transfer General Education Core: the Indiana College Core. Along with the rebrand, the Commission committed to building a suite of thoughtfully produced resources and strategies to support a more thorough understanding and improved implementation of the Core. Please take a few minutes to offer your thoughts and guidance via this survey. Your input will help shape the messages and resources we develop to support the Indiana College Core.
