in a grade of “F” for the course.

college other than Moraine Valley Community College. However, prior to the start
of each semester, District 230 will be given an updated list of all in-state and outof-state transfer and articulation agreements presently in effect between Moraine
Valley and four-year colleges and universities. Moraine Valley will update these
lists based on the expressed interest of student transfer intent.

For any course which has certain space or equipment needs which are required
or dictated by statuary, regulatory or other mandates regarding qualifications for
college credits, Moraine Valley agrees to inform District 230 of such requirements
and ascertain whether District 230 can meet them, prior to making any
