Transfer guides are produced as a service to McHenry County College (MCC) students. Every effort is made to maintain up-to-date
and accurate information; however, this information is subject to change. Such changes take precedence over the information on
this guide. Students should work with an MCC advisor and the four-year transfer school. Responsibility for complying with all
applicable requirements ultimately rests with the student.
The College of Business includes the Departments of Accountancy, Business Administration, and Finance. Each of these
departments offers curricula leading to Bachelor of Science degrees. Please note that admission is competitive and
curriculum space is limited. Meeting the following minimum criteria does not guarantee admission.
Following is a summary of APPLICATION PROCEDURES & ADMISSION CRITERIA - For detailed and most up-to-date
information, please refer to the following web site: http://admissions.illinois.edu/apply/requirements.html
APPLICATION PROCEDURES
• Application Filing Period – Fall: Sept 1 – March 1 (notification by mid-April). Transfer students are admitted fall
term only.
- After these dates, applications are considered on a space-available basis.
- If applying as an incoming sophomore transfer for Fall 2015 admission, application after completion of Fall
2014 courses is recommended.
- Applying online is encouraged.
nd
• Applicants apply to one specific program. Students can indicate a 2 choice major. This allows students a
greater opportunity to be admitted, especially when the first choice is highly competitive, such as programs in
the College of Business.
ADMISSION INFORMATION
• Admission is extremely competitive. The College of Business uses a holistic review process. Grades are
important, but leadership qualities, community involvement, volunteerism, work experiences, communication
skills and essays also play a major part in the admission process. Transfer students are admitted on a space
available basis.
• Transfer students with 24-50+ semester hours of transferable coursework are considered for admission.
- Junior-level transfers (60 transferable credits) are evaluated based on transfer credit, transfer GPA, and
application essays. High school grades and standardized test scores are not considered in application
decisions for junior transfers.
- Sophomore-level transfers (30 – 59 transferable credits) are evaluated based on courses and grades in
college, high school academics, and application essays. ACT/SAT results are not required of applicants with
30 or more graded transferable hours, but it is recommended that they be submitted. Transfer admission
preference is given to students who would have been admitted as freshmen.
- If transfer students have completed or have in progress at the time of application 6 or more semesters of
college coursework or 90+ semester hours of transferable coursework, transfer applicants are subject to
review based on available space. Admission preference is given to students who can complete the program
in no more than 9 total semesters of college (includes semesters at community college, excluding summer
sessions).

Dual credit is accepted for transfer applicants if the coursework is on a college transcript and the coursework is
transferable. A transferable college course taken by a high school student will be awarded credit at the
University and the grade will be included in the transfer grade point average.
Minimum GPA is 3.0. The range for admitted Fall 2013 applicants was 3.13 – 4.00, with 3.8 being the average.
Admission GPA is calculated on the basis of all transferable courses attempted for which grades are assigned
and for which grade-point values can be determined. When a course is repeated, the grade point average is
computed using both grades and all hours for the course.
Foreign language admission requirement - 3 years of one foreign language in high school or through second
level in college prior to term of entry. It is strongly recommended that students complete the foreign language
graduation requirement prior to transferring: 4 years of the same language in high school or 4 semesters at the
college level.
Prerequisite Coursework - Transfer applicants must have successfully completed the courses and requirements
listed below by the end of the spring semester prior to fall entry. Required hours and courses must be
completed or in progress by the term of application. Applicants will not be permitted to complete admission
hours or course requirements during the summer prior to enrollment.
