Transfer Credits

Illinois College accepts transfer credits from accredited institutions of higher education for coursework equivalent to coursework offered at Illinois College. In general undergraduate academic coursework with a grade of C- or better is transferrable to Illinois College while vocational and graduate course work is not because Illinois College does not offer work in these areas. Application of the coursework within each major is determined by that academic program. The grades earned on transfer work do not count toward the grade point average of at Illinois College. The Registrar’s office can evaluate transfer credits and provide an assessment of what will transfer and how it will apply toward an Illinois College degree. Some additional rules apply to transfer work taken by students after enrollment at Illinois College, most notably a limit on the number of transfer courses taken under non-traditional methods of delivery after enrolling at IC.

Guidelines for transferring credits:

• No more than 88 hours of transfer work from two-year colleges or equivalent institutions may be counted toward an Illinois College degree.
• Students must earn at least 32 semester hours of academic credit at Illinois College, with 24 of the last 32 completed in residence.
• For the purpose of determining satisfactory academic progress, each 15 hours of transfer or other non-institutional credits counts as one full-time semester.
• Illinois College accepts credits earned by dual-enrollment, provided the credits are presented on the transcript of an accredited institution of higher education.
