Reverse Transfer
Reverse Transfer is a program designed for students who transferred from any Illinois community college to ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓƵ without earning their associate's degree. Credits successfully completed at ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓƵ may be transferred back to the community college and used to fulfill the remaining requirements for the student’s associate’s degree. The community college will evaluate the ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓƵ work and determine if credits taken at ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓƵ will fulfill any remaining requirements. Students who have attended any Illinois community college are eligible to take advantage of this policy.
Current ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓƵ students who meet the following criteria will be contacted by Enrollment Management informing them of their eligibility for the Reverse Transfer process:
- Transferred to ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓƵ from, or previously attended, an Illinois community college
- Earned a minimum of 15 credit hours at an Illinois community college
- Earned a cumulative total of, at least, 60 credit hours, including hours acquired at ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓƵ
Students wishing to participate in this program must complete the Reverse Transfer Participation and Transcript Release Form. Completion and submission of this form authorizes ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓƵ and the specified Illinois community college to exchange transcript information in support of the awarding of the student’s associate’s degree. Once received, the Illinois community college will evaluate the ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓƵ transcript and determine whether courses taken at ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓƵ will count toward degree completion.
