See How Partners Reach StudentsSupporting Graduation Pathways and the new Indiana diploma
Indiana students show they are ready for life after high school through Graduation Pathways, and starting with the Class of 2029 the new Indiana diploma puts even more weight on employability skills, work-based learning and seals. That means more planning conversations for counselors, who already carry high caseloads.
13th Year™ gives Indiana students a place to explore colleges, apprenticeships, the military and careers every school day, so they come to Graduation Pathways and diploma conversations with ideas of their own.
Students explore
At the kiosk before, during and after school, students browse colleges, trades, military service, careers and scholarships.
They bring ideas to their plan
Students arrive at Graduation Pathways conversations with interests they have already explored.
They choose to connect
Students who want to learn more connect with Indiana colleges, programs, recruiters and employers right from the kiosk.
Dual enrollment
Dual enrollment in Indiana
Indiana's dual credit framework is set in Indiana Code Title 21, Article 43, under which the Indiana Commission for Higher Education may identify priority dual credit courses offered in the high school setting that receive state funding, and the Commission sets the rate charged to students for those courses. The Indiana College Core is a 30 credit hour block of general education that transfers among Indiana public colleges and universities. The Commission also partners with the Center of Excellence in Leadership of Learning at the University of Indianapolis to endorse Early College High Schools.
Students who explore careers and interests early, for example through daily exploration on a 13th Year™ kiosk, can choose dual enrollment courses that build toward a specific goal instead of collecting unrelated credits.
Indiana questions
Does a 13th Year™ kiosk cost Indiana high schools anything?
No. Kiosks come at no cost to Indiana high schools. 13th Year™ delivers, assembles, connects and supports every kiosk. A school needs a spot where students already pass, a standard power outlet and Wi-Fi or Ethernet.
How does 13th Year™ fit with Graduation Pathways and the new Indiana diploma?
13th Year™ supports, and does not replace, your school's planning tools and school counselors. Students use the kiosk to explore colleges, trades, military service and careers on their own time, so they bring real interests to Graduation Pathways and diploma planning conversations.
Do students actually use it?
Yes. Students have logged more than 211,000 interactions with 13th Year™ kiosks so far, exploring colleges, skilled trades, military service, scholarships and careers right in the schools they already attend.
Can Indiana colleges, trades, military recruiters and employers be featured?
Yes. Indiana colleges and universities, skilled trades and apprenticeship programs, military recruiters and Indiana employers looking for their next generation of talent can feature their programs, visits and deadlines on the kiosk. Interested students choose to connect, and the partner's team follows up.
Is student information protected?
Yes. The platform is FERPA aligned and designed with student privacy considerations in mind. It does not access the high school's student information system, and no student data is sold. Students choose what they share.
