Baccalaureate Completion / Transfer Agreement

Transfer and Baccalaureate Completion Agreements

In addition to the Illinois Articulation Initiative (IAI) with state universities for students who complete transfer degrees at Rock Valley College, the college also has written agreements with several baccalaureate completion institutions. It is the transfer student’s responsibility to ensure that all course requirements are met by communicating with the chosen four-year institution prior to transferring. Students may also contact these institutions for more information about how they can finish their degree without leaving the Rock Valley College district.

For additional information, contact the Academic, Career, and Transfer Advising Office at (815) 921-4100.
