Admission Requirements For Transfer Degree Programs
Students pursuing a transfer degree (Associate of Arts, Associate in Science, or Associate in Engineering Science) must successfully complete specific high school or college courses as outlined in Illinois Public Act 86-0954.
Students who do not meet these requirements at the time of enrollment are provisionally admitted as pre-baccalaureate transfer students. Once course deficiencies are completed, students are reclassified as baccalaureate transfer students.
