How to Apply If you plan to attend Itasca, just complete the application form, and send us your high school transcript. If you were born after 1957 and did not graduate from a Minnesota high school you'll also need to provide your immunization records.
If you plan to enroll under the Post-Secondary Enrollment Options (PSEO) program, request additional information from Itasca or your high school counselor.
If you have attended other colleges or have been in the military, you may have your credits evaluated for transfer by having an official transcript sent directly to Itasca. If you have legally changed your name, have your name corrected on the transcript before it is sent.
If you are taking a summer class to transfer back to the college where you are seeking a degree, you need to complete the ICC application with the $20 application fee. We will also need an official transcript showing one semester of completed college work. Please include a note indicating which class interests you and once registration opens we will automatically complete your registration. You will receive an official notice of registration at the address listed on your application.
Application Fee
Send a $20 check or money order made payable to Itasca Community College, or if you would like to pay by credit card, please call our Records Office at 218-327-4468 or 800-996-6422. This is a one time, non-refundable fee.

Medical Records
Students born prior to 1957 and students who graduated in 1997 or thereafter from a Minnesota high school do not need to provide immunization records. All other students must provide documentation of immunization against these vaccine preventable diseases: measles, rubella, mumps, diphtheria and tetanus. Please include immunization records with your application to Itasca.
If you are in need of health insurance, Itasca does have some information on companies that provide health insurance to college students. For more information about insurance, please contact Darla Nelson at 218-327-4461.
Placement Testing
Placement testing in reading and math is required of all new students before course registration.
There is no charge for the test. Once you have applied for admission and received your acceptance letter, you may call the Counseling Office at 218-327-4467 or toll free at 800-996-6422 to make an appointment to take the placement test. You also can take this test at any community college in Minnesota.
Transfer students who have completed college-level English composition and math courses do not have to take the placement test. Please make sure we receive an official transcript from the college you attended.
