Students can complete the coursework during a study hall during the school day, or at home. The class will count for both IUP credit and Plum credit.
At the end of the course, students will receive a transcript from IUP with the credits awarded, which can potentially be transferred to the student’s intended college/university. All colleges and universities have varying policies for transferring
