Harry S. Truman College
2014 – 2015 Transfer Guide
Transfer Options
Associate in Arts and Associate in Science Degrees
Applicants holding an Associate in Arts, Associate in Science, or Associate in Arts and Sciences from an Illinois community college are
admissible as juniors and are considered to have met the general education requirements.
Other Admission
Students wanting to get an early start on their studies at UIS can be admitted if they have completed a minimum of 30 transferable
semester hours of college work from a regionally accredited college or university. Policy requires a minimum cumulative 2.0 grade
point average (4.0 scale).
Admission to the junior year at UIS is granted to applicants who have completed 60 semester (90 quarter) hours of credit with a
minimum cumulative 2.0 grade point average (4.0 scale) from a regionally accredited college or university. In addition, 37 semester
hours of general education courses must be completed before graduation from UIS; it is preferred that these hours be completed
prior to admission to UIS. UIS will accept up to 72 total hours of lower-division courses toward the average total of 120 hours (AACSB
majors accept 66 hours).
To avoid extending the number of courses necessary once at UIS, students are encouraged to complete general education courses
prior to admission to the university. See listing of requirements on page 2.
Illinois articulation initiative (IAI)
UIS is a participant in (IAI), a statewide agreement designed to allow you to transfer your general education credit, as well as credit
earned in select majors, between participating institutions, For more details refer to the UIS catalog or iTransfer: The Illinois transfer
web site.
All courses (especially pre-requisites) are subject to department review. This guide should be utilized for preliminary advising
purposes only. Final course evaluation is only completed when the student has been fully admitted to UIS.
2+2 Transfer Agreements and Joint/Dual Agreements
Check to see if your Community College has 2+2 Transfer Agreements and/or Joint/Dual Agreements articulated with UIS at
http://www.uis.edu/admissions/transfer/index.html
