  1. Transferability of Dual Credit Courses in Illinois December 2009

  2. ILLINOIS ARTICULATION INITIATIVE – IAI TRANSFER GENERAL EDUCATION COURSES • The Illinois Articulation Initiative (IAI) is the statewide agreement among all of the public and some selected private four-year and two-year higher education institutions in Illinois. • The Illinois Transferable General Education Core Curriculum (GECC) consists of 12 to 13 courses (37 to 41 semester hours of credit) within 5 areas. • ICCB Mandate – all Illinois Community Colleges must use GECC Core

  3. Credit policies are published each university “Credit policy for out-of-state and non-IAI institutions: Courses transferred from any accredited institution which clearly matches an Illinois Articulation Initiative (IAI) General Education course, will count toward Eastern's General Education even if we offer no comparable course. Community college substitutionsCommunity college and university courses are subject to change at any time. Courses that do not have a direct equivalency will transfer as electives. Electives may be placed in major, minor and/or general education requirements. All college level courses will be applied towards graduation hours.”

  4. Issues Related to Determining Transferability • Course numbers can change from one year to another • Degree requirements can change from one year to another • Information on new courses created for degrees is continuously updated • Courses may apply to one degree program but not another (within the same university) Illinois Universities are now starting to develop Transfer Centers with Specialists & Coordinators to help student navigate the maze of identifying course & program requirements

  5. Issues Related to Determining Transferability • In an effort to help students better identify how courses taken will be applied in a receiving institution, a state-wide initiative was recently developed called U.Select. • This on-line program is now up & running, but still being refined

  6. Development of University Transfer Coordinator Departments “Illinois State University is a member of the u.select website (formerly CAS). On u.select you can view  Course Equivalency Guides for your specific institution as well as view how courses may apply within an Illinois State University degree program.”

  7. Getting Started with U.Select To use U.Select, create an account. After making an account, sign in under Member login.

  8. Code 0000 shows it will transfer for elective credit Code 2100 shows it will transfer for degree requirement credit

  9. Planning for Transfer Requirements • Students who intend to transfer from one school to another can generate a list of courses offered at the first school that will definitely transfer apply to the requirements for their intended degree at the next school.

  10. Example of Differences Across Universities example only - Please use USelect for current information

  11. Accurate Accessibility Most current and reliable data students will be able to obtain will be through U.Select and campus Transfer Departments
