INTRODUCTION TO THE TRANSFER HANDBOOK
The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign welcomes students transferring from Parkland College and
wishes to assist them in every way to make their transfer a more seamless process. The Transfer
Handbook is designed for use by advisors, faculty and staff on both campuses and potential transfer
students. The information provided is designed to facilitate the completion of the prerequisite and
recommended Parkland College coursework for the many University of Illinois’ programs of study.
The prerequisite and recommended Parkland College coursework is listed for each curriculum of the
colleges and schools of the University of Illinois’ campus. While it is hoped that a student can complete
the Parkland College coursework listed, it is realized that Parkland College does not offer all of the
coursework required for transfer. Information concerning that situation is listed for such scenarios. Please
be advised that if a student does not complete the necessary coursework for transfer as indicated, (s)he
may be delayed in transfer and be more likely to extend the time frame for baccalaureate degree
completion. The more closely the student follows the coursework displayed on the following pages, the
more likely (s)he will be able to complete graduation requirements on schedule. It should also be noted
that in some cases, certain courses or course sequences are required prerequisites which must be
completed prior to transfer. These courses or course sequences will be displayed in italics on each of the
curriculum pages of this handbook. Failure to complete the listed prerequisite coursework may result in a
student’s denial of admission to a particular program of study.
If there are any questions concerning curricular requirements for admission or graduation, there is
contact information for each college and school located at bottom of each curriculum page.
UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS
TRANSFER ADMISSIONS INFORMATION
To assist prospective Parkland College applicants in assessing their opportunities for admission, transfer
Grade Point Average (GPA) guidelines are included for each of the University of Illinois’ college programs
listed. These are guidelines and the actual GPA established for transfer will depend upon the number
and qualifications of the applicant pool for each program.
Admission of transfer applicants is based on a combination of the hours and content of transferable
credit and the transfer GPA. Transfer GPA requirements are listed for each of the Programs of Study and
may be higher than that listed, depending upon the applicant pool. Duplicated coursework posted
on a Parkland transcript is used to determine the transfer GPA with transfer credit granted
for only one of the duplicated courses listed and then all of the grades of the duplicate
coursework are included to create the transfer GPA.
If the number of qualified applicants to a college or curriculum exceeds the admission quota, those best
qualified will be admitted and preference may be given to Illinois residents. Lower-division transfer
applicants (students transferring with less than 60 transferable semester hours) may be restricted in
programs where space is limited.
Transfer applications for fall semester will be considered between September 1 and March 1 and for
spring semester between September 1 and October 15. The priority deadline for transfer
applications for the fall semester is February 1. Although students are able to apply one year in
advance for fall transfer admission, students are encouraged to apply after fall semester grades are
finalized and the spring schedule of coursework has been set.

Parkland College Transfer Handbook
COLLEGE OF ACES
Effective: 8/1/13 – 7/31/15
UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS
College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences
Transfer I nform ation
The information presented in the following section will assist all pre-transfer students, regardless of whether
baccalaureate-oriented courses in introductory agricultural, consumer, and environmental sciences related
areas are offered at Parkland College. If transferable courses in these areas are not available, alternatives are
suggested to meet the University of Illinois General Education requirements. The University of Illinois admits
qualified transfer students who have completed at least one year (two semesters) at Parkland College. Please
note that the criteria for admission vary depending on whether a student will have completed less than 60
or 60+ transferable credit hours by the time of enrollment.
Parkland College transfer students with 60 or more hours are expected to have successfully completed a
Parkland College course equivalent which satisfies the University of Illinois’ Quantitative Reasoning I
(Mathematics) General Education requirement for their intended program of study as a condition of
admission. Some programs have other specific courses that must be included in the pre-transfer programs as
outlined. Prerequisite courses and requirements necessary for admission are shown in italics . The college
requires a minimum GPA of 2.50 (A=4.00) in most programs to be considered for admission. Several
programs require higher minimum grade point averages for consideration; applicants should
consult the specific major and concentration to which they intend to apply.
Some programs of study offered by the College of ACES require completion of this campus’ CHEM 232,
Elementary Organic Chemistry I as a graduation requirement. The corresponding lab, CHEM 233, Elementary
Organic Chemistry Lab I, may be required, when applicable. CHEM 232, Elementary Organic Chemistry I, is a
one-semester (lecture only) survey course, which covers many of the topics of a two-course organic
chemistry sequence offered elsewhere. Completion of Parkland College’s two-course organic chemistry
sequence does satisfy the organic chemistry requirement for those programs of study, unless currently
articulated as such (consult https://www.transfer.org/uselect/ for information about course equivalencies).
For more information about career opportunities for the areas of study offered by the College of ACES, please
refer to the following website: http://careerservices.aces.illinois.edu/ or contact ACES Career Services at
acescareerservices@illinois.edu or by phone at 217/244-4540
The College of ACES will accept transfer applications for all majors and concentrations for the fall and spring
semesters. Please refer to: http://www.admissions.illinois.edu/apply/openclosed_transfer.html
General Education Requirements
All College of ACES students are required to satisfy certain minimum hours in the areas of the natural
sciences, humanities, cultural studies, and social sciences. In many curricula, some or all of the distribution
requirements are fulfilled with campus-wide general education courses already prescribed by the program.
The remainder of the requirements can be fulfilled with other courses chosen from the Campus General
Education Course List: https://courses.illinois.edu/cisapp/dispatcher/gened/2013/fall equivalent Parkland
College coursework is listed under the University of Illinois’ General Education on pages 9-14 at the beginning
of this publication.
Language Recommendation: The College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences
requires completion through the third level of one language other than English, either in high
school or college, to graduate from the college. It is strongly recommended that transfer
applicants complete this graduation requirement prior to the term of enrollment at the University of
Illinois. Early completion of this graduation requirement will allow time to complete other degree
requirements, e.g., General Education coursework. Length of time to graduation may increase, if
the Language Requirement for graduation is not completed prior to enrollment. Parkland College
courses which satisfy this recommendation can be found on page 12 of this publication.

College of Applied Health Sciences
The College of Applied Health Sciences values a student’s experiences and articulation of interest in the
intended major. Applicant essays, leadership involvement and career-related experiences are highly considered
in the application process in addition to academic achievement prior to applying.
It is also imperative that this College has the ability to adequately determine your academic potential through
the coursework that you have taken prior to admission. Parkland College students with very little transfer
coursework completed should note that the lack of graded credit may affect the College’s ability to determine
academic potential; therefore, completion of as many of the highly recommended transfer course equivalents is
very important and could possibly improve a prospective transfer’s admissibility.

UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS
College of Business
At the University of Illinois, the College of Business has an agenda when selecting students for admission.
Simply put, the college strives to select students who will be successful graduates of our college and become
leaders in their chosen field. There is no magic formula for determining success, so instead the College of
Business relies on several different criteria. Even if you have an excellent academic record, please note
admission to the College of Business is extremely competitive. Not every qualified student is accepted. Second
bachelor degree applications are NOT accepted due to space limitations.
While review of your academic qualifications is of major focus, the two essays you complete in the application
offer a better indication of why you want to study business at the University of Illinois and the goals you have
for your future. Your statements should include:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Interest or experience in business
Employment or volunteer activities
State or national recognition for talent, creative ability, leadership or academic achievement
An ethnic or cultural background or an age group that will add diversity to this campus
Extenuating circumstances that significantly affected an otherwise exceptionally good academic record
Any other information that you feel would complete your profile
Review Process and Transfer Requirements
The college will utilize a holistic review process which will assess the entire student record (academic
performance, demonstrated analytical and critical thinking skills, leadership ability, work experience and the
included essays). Ultimately, the criteria for admission (grade point average, etc.) will be determined by the
pool of applicants. The College of Business requires a prospective applicant’s transfer GPA to be between 3.00
and 4.00 (A=4.00). However, the average transfer GPA is based on that of the applicant pool; the GPA range
for the fall 2013 accepted applicants was 3.50-4.00.
College Requirements
The prerequisite coursework in italics must be completed by the end of the
spring semester prior to enrollment in the following fall semester.
All supporting documentation (transcripts, etc.) must be received by the Office of Undergraduate
Admissions before the application will be reviewed.
Language R equirem ent : All transfer applicants must have completed either three years of
one language other than English in high school or through the second level (2 semesters)
of one language other than English in college by the end of the spring semester prior to
the fall term of enrollment. It is strongly encouraged that transfer applicants complete the
College of Business’ Language Requirement prior to transfer. This college’s graduation requirement
is satisfied by completion through the fourth year of one language other than English in high school
or through the fourth level (4 semesters) of one language other than English in college. If this
college’s Language Requirement for graduation has been completed, it is highly
recommended that coursework equivalent to other College of Business’ programmatic requirements,
e.g., University of Illinois’ General Education requirements or other coursework, be completed prior to
transfer. Parkland College courses which satisfy this requirement can be found on page 9
of this publication.
Consultation with Parkland College’s advising staff is strongly recommended.

Admission Information
The College of Education at the University of Illinois strives to admit Parkland College students who will be
successful graduates of our college can become outstanding educators. Admission to the college is highly
competitive and space is limited. Meeting minimum criteria does not guarantee admission. High demand for
admission from well-qualified applicants results in highly selective admission standards. All applicants should
have an alternate plan in the event that admission is not offered.
The college relies on several different criteria (which may vary according to the program). Consult the specific
program for more information.
1. Transferable Hours
Transferable hours are defined as the hours and grades added to a student’s academic record, which
may or may not satisfy degree requirements, but can be used to satisfy transferable hour requirements
for transfer admission. However, transfer evaluation designations such as NOTR (non-transferable) and
UNKN (no previous articulation and will need to be determined) are also displayed on the transfer
evaluation form. Those grades are not factored in a student’s transfer GPA. Please note, if you have not
met a majority of the General Education requirements for the major, it is highly recommended you
apply to the Pre-Teacher program.
2. Office of Undergraduate Admissions Application/Essay

COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING
Transfer I nform ation
Effective: 8/1/13 – 7/31/15
UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS
College of Engineering
The College of Engineering accepts sophomore and junior-level transfers. Junior transfers are evaluated based
on college performance. Students who will transfer with less than junior standing in college are evaluated based
primarily on the following criteria: grades in college, courses in college, high school academics, ACT or SAT scores
and essays. Sophomore transfer admission preference will be given to students who would have been admitted
as freshmen applicants.
Qualified Parkland students are invited to apply for transfer admission to the College of Engineering. Parkland
College offers transferable coursework which permits a student to substantially complete the first four semesters of
engineering undergraduate study in preparation for transfer.
Admission has been very competitive over the last several years for the Aerospace, Civil and Mechanical majors.
Because of recent trends in freshman applications, it is expected that majors like Computer Science, Computer
Engineering and Electrical Engineering might also become more competitive in the near future. The college holds
all applications and reviews them together for the majors once the application deadline has passed. Based on the
quality of the applicant pool, admission may only be offered to a select number of students who have GPAs above
the listed minimum guidelines. Some applicants may be offered admission into an alternate program of study in
Engineering. If you have applied to one of these competitive majors, you should list alternate majors on our
campus in which you have interest in your application. You may discuss specific interests in your essay.
Much of the coursework required for the first four semesters of the various engineering programs is similar and the
transfer requirements are listed below in italics . Transfer course information is available at the following website:
https://www.transfer.org/uselect/.
For sophomore-level transfer admission the requirement is completion of the following Parkland College
courses and lack of completion of any of these requirements could result in an increased time to graduation.
CHE 101, P rinciples of Chem istry I and CHE 102, P rinciples of Chem istry I I
ENG 101, Com position I and ENG 102, Com position I I
or EN G 106, Accelerated Com position

M AT 128, Calculus and Analytic Geom etry I
M AT 129, Calculus and Analytic Geom etry I I
P HY 141, M echanics
Language Recommendation 1
Please note that the following Programs of Study in the College of Engineering now require only one semester of
General Chemistry: Aerospace Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Engineering
Physics, General Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Computer Science and Nuclear Engineering. For
Mechanical Engineering, the second chemistry course is not strictly required, but it is one of two possible
options to fulfill the Science Elective requirement. All other majors require CHE 101, General Chemistry I and CHE
102, General Chemistry II.
(Continue)

Language Recommendation: The College of Engineering requires completion through the third level of one
language other than English, either in high school or college, to graduate from the college. It is strongly
recommended that transfer applicants complete this graduation requirement prior to the term of enrollment at the
University of Illinois. Early completion of this graduation requirement will allow time to complete other degree
requirements, e.g., General Education coursework. Length of time to graduation may increase, if the Language
Requirement for graduation is not completed prior to enrollment. Parkland College courses which satisfy this
recommendation can be found on page 12 of this publication.

Transfer Inform ation
Parkland College students may find that Parkland College coursework may not be available to satisfy many of the
requirements for the suggested programs in this college. If you are substituting courses for those on the approved
sequence, consult with the College of Fine and Applied Arts contact to determine if the substitute courses are acceptable.
If courses or course substitutions are not available, transfer should be considered prior to completion of two full years of
study at the community college. Transfer course information is available at the following website:
https://www.transfer.org/uselect/. All Fine and Applied Art programs, except Urban Planning, are open for fall
semester transfer only.
General Education R equirem ents
All FAA students must fulfill the University of Illinois’ campus-wide General Education requirements prior to graduation.
Courses which satisfy these categories are constantly changing. The current list is maintained on the Internet at
http://courses.illinois.edu/cis/gened/. Parkland college coursework which satisfies the University of Illinois’
General Education rquirements can be found on pages 9-14 of this publication.
1.
Language Requirem ent: All transfer applicants must have completed either through the second level
2.
Prior to transfer students must complete coursework equivalent to the following University of Illinois’
General Education requirements: Composition I and an equivalent course which satisfies the first
course of a two-course Quantitative Reasoning requirement.
3.
PLEASE NOTE: Course pattern requirements for admission are expected to be completed by the desired

Language Requirements for graduation. Please consult with each department’s academic advisor or the FAA college
office for the specific Language Requirements for each program of study. Parkland College courses which
satisfy this requirement can be found on page 9 of this publication.
No community college program of study is suggested for Dance or Theatre.
Because professional coursework is required during the first year of these curricula at the University of Illinois and
because such coursework is usually not available at community colleges and many four-year institutions, prospective
transfer students are urged to take appropriate general education courses and apply for transfer to the University of
Illinois during their first year at a community college. In addition to the academic transfer requirements and completion
of the College of FAA’s Language and Quantitative Reasoning Requirements for transfer admission, consideration for
admission is based primarily on a prospective applicant’s successful audition and/or portfolio and an acceptable
transfer GPA. Please see websites and contact information listed below.
Auditions and Portfolio Reviews
Successful admission to all Art, Dance, Music and Theatre majors requires an evaluation of artistic talent and experience,
which is determined through portfolio reviews, auditions and/or interviews, in addition to an evaluation of the candidate’s
academic qualifications. The academic qualifications and artistic qualifications of applicants are considered
equally and both may impact placement in core courses in the student’s major. Specific information about
auditions, portfolio requirements and interviews is available from the unit. Contact information for each until is

UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS
College of Liberal Arts and Sciences
Transfer I nform ation
As the largest undergraduate college at the University of Illinois, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences
(LAS) currently offers approximately 50 majors under the Sciences and Letters Curriculum, 5 specialized
curricula, and 12 programs preparing for teacher certification for secondary schools. The necessary core
courses are available for students planning to pursue a career in law or health professions. Information
concerning all Programs of Study is located at: http://admissions.illinois.edu/academics/majors.html.
University of Illinois course information to determine the applicability of certain courses toward career
goals may be found at: https://courses.illinois.edu/cisapp/dispatcher/home. Staff members within the
College are available to answer specific student questions. Transfer course information is available at the
following website: https://www.transfer.org/uselect/.
Enrolling transfer students are required to participate in the Summer Registration Program. This will
enable each student to talk to an experienced advisor, plan a program of study and take part in programs
designed to answer their questions.
M AJORS W I TH SUP P OR TI NG COURSEW ORK
In addition to the Composition, Language Graduation Requirement, and General Education requirements
in LAS, students in the Sciences and Letters curriculum are required to study an academic discipline in
some depth. At the University of Illinois, this study in depth is called a major and will include core courses
in the subject itself and supporting coursework. This major may be oriented around a single discipline, or
may be inter-disciplinary (e.g., Humanities, Latin American Studies, or Religious Studies). A major will
normally consist of 40-60 hours of coursework designated by the department and approved by the
faculty of the College of LAS. Of these hours, approximately 12-20 will be in supporting coursework.
Descriptions of the requirements for each of the 50 majors in the Sciences and Letters curriculum may
be found in the University of Illinois’ Transfer Handbook (Liberal Arts and Sciences section). The
prerequisite coursework and requirements are listed in italics for each of the programs.
Normally, a major is not conceived as having a vocational focus or orientation and may or may not be
directly related to vocational goals. In all LAS programs, however, it is expected that students will obtain
methods of study and approaches to problems to aid them in achieving specific vocational goals.
Students with special professional goals, such as law school and medical school, may successfully follow
any number of undergraduate programs. For example, there are students with pre-law interests in many
fields including political science, mathematics, economics, and English. There are students with premedical interests concentrating in English or history as well as biology or chemistry.
P re-professional P rogram s
Students planning to pursue a Pre-Dentistry, Pre-Law or Pre-Medicine program should refer to the Preprofessional Programs section found on pages 11-2 to 11-6 of this publication.
I ndividual P lans of Study (I P S)
A unique curricular program at the University of Illinois called I ndividual P lans of Study (I P S) assists
motivated students to design personalized and innovative programs of study under the guidance of
faculty sponsors. As an alternative to the conventional major, IPS features sponsorship by a faculty
advisor and program approval by the IPS Advisory Committee. IPS students must meet the regular LAS
requirements in Composition, General Education, Language Requirement and advanced hours. Students
desiring further information about IPS should inquire at 2002 Lincoln Hall, Urbana, IL, 61801, Phone
217/333-1703.

Parkland College applicants who have completed more than 6 semesters or 80 hours of coursework
are subject to an additional review. Priority is given to students who can complete degree
requirements within a total of ten semesters in college (not counting summer sessions). A grade point
average of 2.70 or higher (A=4.00) is required for admission. Applicants are considered on a
space available basis.
Parkland College courses which satisfy the University of Illinois’ General Education/Graduation
requirements can be found on pages 9-14 of this publication.
Admission recommendations for transfer are as follows and completion of Parkland College
coursework equivalent to the Language Recommendation is highly recommended.
Language Recommendation: The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences requires completion
through the fourth level of one language other than English, either in high school or college, to
graduate from the college. The Specialized Curriculum in Chemistry only requires
completion through the third level of one language other than English, either in high
school or college. It is strongly recommended that transfer applicants complete this graduation
requirement prior to the term of enrollment at the University of Illinois. Early completion of this
graduation requirement will allow time to complete other degree requirements, e.g., General
Education coursework. Length of time to graduation may increase, if the Language Requirement
for graduation is not completed prior to enrollment. Parkland College courses which satisfy
this recommendation can be found on page 12 of this publication.

Due to the unique structure of the Specialized Curriculum in Chemistry, transfer students who enter as juniors by
credit hours completed typically require a total of five or six semesters on our campus to graduate. We believe that
this extra semester or two is a worthwhile investment, if it maximizes your opportunity of success and our experience
strongly suggests that it does. Students who join us as Freshman or Sophomore by credit hours will typically be
able to complete their graduation requirements in a more traditional total of four years of college.
1
Students who have completed a non-accelerated general chemistry sequence and choose the Specialized
Curriculum in Chemistry will enroll in CHEM 222, Quantitative Analysis Lecture and CHEM 223,
Quantitative Analysis Lab, after transferring. CHEM 222 and CHEM 223 are optional for the Chemistry major.
Students pursuing a Science and Letters Curriculum may complete coursework equivalent to the University of Illinois’
CHEM 102-105 sequence or CHEM 202-205 sequence.
2
If the Organic Chemistry sequence is not completed by equivalent transfer coursework, time to
degree completion for transfer students will likely be extended for this program of study.

General Information and Admission Requirements for Secondary Education
Teaching and Foreign Language Teaching Programs
The Transfer Process to the Secondary & BAT Options
Parkland students will apply to the major in which they are interested in teaching. If admitted, the
application will automatically be considered for the secondary education teaching minor as long as an
interest in secondary education teaching has been noted on the application and at least 50 transferable
hours have been earned.
Please be aware that admission to the Secondary Education Teaching minor is very limited.
Due to sequencing of courses and prerequisites, the majority of students have to wait until
the following spring to apply to the minor. The information detailed below will prepare you
to be on track for admission to the Secondary Education Teaching minor. Admission to your
major does not guarantee admission to the Secondary Education Teaching minor.
Admission to the minor leads to a two-year professional education sequence beginning in
the fall. If you cannot complete these program requirements within 10 semesters total, you will have to
consider alternative routes to teacher licensure.
The requirements for admission to the Secondary Education Teaching minor and BAT options are
available at http://education.illinois.edu/programs/se_appl. If you are interested in pursuing the
Secondary Education Teaching option, you are strongly encouraged to contact LAS-Teach@illinois.edu to
discuss the requirements for admission to the minor. If you are interested in pursuing the BAT option,
you are strongly encouraged to contact Dr. Pamela Green (plgreene@illinois.edu) to discuss the
requirements for admission to the minor.
Program Options
1) The Secondary Education Teaching option: This option is for students interested in teaching
high school or middle school in certain subjects. The program combines a major in your content
area along with a minor in Secondary Education Teaching.
Parkland students interested in high school and middle school teaching can apply to a major in
Biology, Chemistry, Geology (Earth Science), English, History (Social Science), math and Physics
and then ear a Secondary Education Teaching minor in order to be licensed to teach grades 6-12
in the State of Illinois. Both the major and minor are essential to achieving licensure to teach.
2) The BAT option: This program is for students interested in teaching foreign languages.
Students interested in Foreign Language Teaching can apply to a specialized major in French,
German, East Asian Language and Culture (Chinese and Japanese), Latin and Spanish. Successful
completion of these programs will earn your licensure to teach grades K-12 in the State of
Illinois. The undergraduate foreign language teaching program is called the BAT program,
meaning Bachelor of the Arts in the Teaching of a Foreign Language.
Basic Requirements to Enter the Secondary Education Teaching & BAT Options
In order to eventually transfer to the Secondary Education Teaching and BAT options, you have to
complete the following requirements:
1) Passing of the Test of Academic Proficiency (TAP) – see below for additional information
2) Tutoring Requirement – see below for additional information
3) Coursework Requirements – go to your program to see specific coursework
requirements: http://education.illinois.edu/se_appl

Because you are seeking state licensure in addition to the degree from the University of Illinois, there are
several additional requirements and considerations of which you must be aware.
Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE)
All Parkland students entering teacher education programs are working towards two goals: 1) completing
degree requirements approved and administered by the University of Illinois and 2) completing state
licensure governed by ISBE.
The website of the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) is http://www.il.nesinc.com/. A guide to
requirements for teacher licensure in the State of Illinois can be found
at: http://www.isbe.net/certification/requirements/toc.htm
Test of Academic Proficiency
All Parkland College candidates for admission are required to pass the Illinois Licensure Testing system
(ILTS) Test of Academic Proficiency (TAP) as a criterion for admission to any teacher education program.
Test scores must be reported to the Council on Teacher Education by the time of application to the
program. Effective July 2012, the Illinois State Board of Education determined the ACT Plus Writing/SAT
scores can be used in lieu of a passing score on the Test of Academic Proficiency (formerly known as the
Illinois Test of Basic Skills). For details please see: http://education.illinois.edu/students/prospectivestudents/ACT. For further information, please contact The Council on Teacher Education
at: http://www.cote.illinois.edu/.
(Illinois code = 052). The ILTS website at http://www.il.nesinc.com/ contains additional information
concerning test dates, registration and links to study guides. When registering for the test, please
indicate that the test results be reported to the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. For more
information please consult the following
website: http://edwebsfiles.edu.uiuc.edu/saao/handbooks/IL_Testing_Cert_sys_handbook.pdf
Tutoring Requirement
All Parkland College candidates for admission are requirement to complete 50 hours of academic
tutoring. For Parkland College transfer students, you should get started on a tutoring requirement before
you enter the University of Illinois. It is recommended that you complete at least 25 hours before you
enter the University of Illinois. Additionally, you will have at least a semester at the University of Illinois
to complete the remainder of your hours before you enter the minor or BAT. Any tutoring completed
while attending in high school does not count; all tutoring that counts toward the 50 hours must take
place after you have been graduated from high school.
You must complete an Hours Verification Form to provide evidence of your tutoring hours. The Hours
Verification Form can be downloaded at: http://go.education.illinois.edu/sehrsverificationform
1) The Secondary Education Teaching option: You must tutor in a middle school or high
school. You can tutor in any subject. You must have a teacher supervisor who observed your
tutoring to fill out the Hours Verification Form and you will submit that when you apply to the
minor.
The BAT option: You can tutor in any K-12 school setting, but you should try to tutor in your foreign
language or in an ESL classroom. You can also work with migrant family programs, as counselors in
intensive language camps, or in other ESL settings. Verification of these experiences must also be
submitted using the Hours Verification Form.
Criminal Background Check

COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS & SCIENCES
Effective: 8/1/13 – 7/31/15
Criminal background checks are required for all Parkland College students entering the Secondary
Education, Foreign Language, Elementary Education, Early childhood and Special Education Teaching
programs prior to field placements in school districts. Certain criminal convictions are a bar to
employment in school districts and are fully outlined in the Illinois School Code, 105 ILCS 5/10-21.9, as
amended. If you are found to have a conviction which would bar you from being employed in a school
district, you will be denied a field placement in a school district and your admission to this program will
be rescinded. You should be aware that if your background check shows any history of criminal
convictions, that history will be shared with the school district that is approving your field placement. It is
possible that the nature of that history might prohibit you from being placed in a given school district.
Grade of C- and below Policy
Parkland College students in either the Secondary Education Teaching or BAT options cannot have
grades of C- or lower in content and professional education coursework used to meet licensure,
endorsement or approval requirements. In addition, CR/NC coursework and proficiency credit will no
longer be able to be used toward licensure, endorsement or approvals. AP credit is still acceptable.
Contact the Council on Teacher Education, cote-teachercertification@illinois.edu for more information. If
you have a C- or lower in a course that is required for licensure, you will need to retake this
course and earn a grade of C or better.
Transfer Course Articulation Information
Applicants should consult www.transfer.org to determine course transfer equivalencies to the University
of Illinois coursework. Non-transferable hours (NOTR) will not count toward the required hours necessary
for admission.

Language Recommendation: It is strongly recommended that transfer applicants complete this graduation
requirement prior to the term of enrollment at the University of Illinois in order to progress in this program. The
College of Liberal Arts and Sciences requires completion through the fourth level of one language other than English,
either in high school or college, to graduate from the college. Early completion of this graduation requirement will
allow time to complete other degree requirements, e.g., General Education coursework. Length of time to graduation
is likely to increase, if the Language Requirement for graduation is not completed prior to enrollment. Parkland
College courses which satisfy this requirement can be found on page 12 of this publication.

Parkland College Transfer Handbook
DIVISION OF GENERAL STUDIES
TRANSFER I NFORM ATI ON
Effective: 8/1/13 – 7/31/15
UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS
Division of General Studies
The Division of General Studies (DGS) serves undergraduate students who are in the process of determining an
academic path, considering multiple majors or have a strong professional interest (such as pre-health or prelaw) without a specific undergraduate major in mind. We assist students through a combination of individual
advising, mentoring, and programmatic resources. Applicants who are no longer exploring major options
will be best served by applying directly to a major of interest rather than applying to DGS.
Parkland Students who transfer to the University of Illinois can ultimately transition into nearly all of the Illinois
majors, but must meet required criteria in order to do so. Requirements and procedures for declaring Illinois
majors are detailed at: http://provost.illinois.edu/programs/advising/ICTTOC.html.
The Division of General Studies is intended for Parkland transfer students who have not yet completed the
equivalent of four full-time semesters of college study. Illinois students are expected to transition to a declared
major by the start of their fifth semester. Transcripts will be reviewed to determine the number of semesters
each transfer student will be permitted to remain in DGS. We base our admission decisions in part on
whether your academic goals and the criteria required to declare your intended major(s) can be
achieved realistically or in a timely manner. Admission priority will be given to transfer applicants
who have completed fewer than 35 transferable hours by the term of entry to DGS.
Please note that the following majors are closed or impact progress toward graduation for
transfer students:
•
Parkland transfer students to DGS may not declare a College of Business major.
•
Parkland transfer students to DGS who plan to pursue Art & Design, Music, Special
Education or Theatre should anticipate that additional semesters may be required for degree
completion.
If you have an interest in a Business major, you must apply directly to the College of Business
as an incoming transfer student.
Some courses specific to these majors are heavily restricted to students already in the major.
Interested students should consider applying directly to these majors rather than DGS.
DGS transfer student admission decisions are based on a thorough review of your submitted application
information. Meeting all or most of the following criteria makes your application much stronger:
•
Students who have 30 or more hours completed at the time of application must have earned a
grade point average of at least 2.70 (A=4.00) in all completed transferable coursework at the college
level. Meeting the minimum GPA requirement does not guarantee admission.
•
Students who do not have 30 hours completed at the time of application must have earned a grade
point average of at least 3.00 (A=4.00) in all completed transferable coursework at the college level.
Meeting the minimum GPA requirement does not guarantee admission. Additionally, a final high school
transcript and ACT/SAT scores are required for review.
•
Have completed the equivalent of no more than four full-time semesters (not including summer
semesters) prior to enrolling at the University of Illinois.
•
For Parkland college students who have completed part-time semesters, you must have earned no
more than 50 transferable hours prior to enrolling at the University of Illinois. Please note that our
assessment of completed hours does not include test-based credit hours such as Advanced Placement
or International Baccalaureate exams.
Your application essay helps us understand how and if you would benefit from our explorative mission.
Your essay may include subjects or fields that interest you, academic programs you are considering,
career or pre-professional goals or relevant experiences that have influenced your academic and career
interests. We do base our admission decision in part on whether your academic goals can be
achieved realistically or in a timely manner by enrolling in DGS.

Pre-Dentistry
University of Illinois offers the opportunity for Parkland College students to declare an educational goal of PreDentistry. This can be done at the time of application or can be declared after enrollment at the University of
Illinois. It is important to note that education goals are not majors offered at the University of Illinois. Parkland
College students will have access to specific advisors to help prepare for their post undergraduate goals, while
completing all necessary coursework in their intended major. Applicants interested in a pre-professional
program should plan on completing the coursework listed in the following pages. However, admission will
be based on the applicant’s intended major.
Pre-professional Requirements for Dentistry
Dentistry is a career requiring a professional degree. Students are required to complete certain undergraduate
prerequisite courses in order to be eligible to apply to a dental school. It is essential for students to research
and know the requirements for admission to each of the dental schools to which they apply. These
requirements are listed in the Official Guide to Dental Schools, published by the American Dental Education
Association (ADEA). This resource can be viewed at The Career Center. Additional information about
preparation for dental school can be found at www.adea.org.
Pre-Health Advising at The Career Center
Admission into a dental school is highly competitive. The Career Center provides pre-professional advising for
students who are interested in pursuing dentistry as a career. This includes discussion of prerequisites and
expectations of dental schools, preparation in and outside the classroom, details of the application process and
characteristics of competitive applicants. The Center also coordinates the visits of deans and admissions officers
to the campus to provide information about various health professions. The Career Center also provides a
service, Letters of Evaluation Online (LEO), which allows students to store letters of evaluation.
Contact The Career Center at 217/333-0820 or online at: www.careercenter.illinois.edu
Academic Advising
Since students who are interested in the health professions are expected to enter degree programs of their
choice, their academic advising is provided by the departmental offices of the curricula or majors that they have
selected. Academic advisors can assist students in making sure they are making appropriate progress towards
completing their degrees at the University of Illinois.
Completing some of the following Parkland College courses prior to transferring to the
University of Illinois may be helpful.
BIO 121, Anatomy & Physiology I and BIO 122, Anatomy & Physiology II
ENG 101, Composition I and ENG 102, Composition II
or ENG 106, Accelerated Composition
or ESL 101, Engl Comp Non-Native Speakers I and ESL 102, Engl Comp Non-Native Speakers II
PHY 121, General Physics I
PHY 122, General Physics II
Completion of biology and chemistry prerequisite courses prior to transfer is acceptable as long as additional
courses in one or both disciplines are completed at the University of Illinois.
The following information represents the MINIMUM course requirements to prepare for dental
school.
Some Colleges of Dentistry may require additional coursework and/or expect students to go
beyond minimum preparation. AP and Proficiency credits are not always accepted by medical
schools to fulfill prerequisite requirements.
Students are strongly encouraged to research specific dental schools of interest!

Pre-Law Advising Services
University of Illinois offers the opportunity for Parkland College students to declare an educational goal of PreLaw. Parkland College students will have access to specific advisors to help prepare for their post undergraduate
goals, while completing all necessary coursework in their intended major.
Law school is a three-year graduate program. A baccalaureate degree from an approved undergraduate college
and a satisfactory score on the Law School Admission Test (LSAT) are required for admission to colleges of law.
In general, applications for admission will be evaluated by giving significant, and in many cases, controlling
weight to the applicant's undergraduate grade-point average and score on the LSAT.
Other considerations include work experience, leadership positions and community service.
Pre-law is not a major concentration or a minor and therefore, has no programmatic prerequisite
coursework. Because prior education in diverse fields is valuable to the law student and to the lawyer, there are
no specifically required courses for pre-legal study. However, the American Bar Association recommends that all
pre-law students develop strong reading, writing, analytical and oral communication skills. Regardless
of major, students should seek out coursework that continues to help them develop these skills.
Please refer to the recommended GPA and program requirements listed for the program of study
the prospective student intends to pursue. Perhaps the most concise, yet complete, discussion of the
coursework and skills to be taken and developed is contained in the Official Guide to U.S. Law Schools,
published by the Law School Admission Council. The Official Guide to U.S. Law Schools is available online at
http://officialguide.lsac.org. Additional contact information is listed at the bottom of this page.
Visit the Pre-Law Advising Services webpage for more information and for access to our Pre-Law Handbook,
at: www.prelaw.illinois.edu.
Pre-Law Advising Services is located at the Campus Center for Advising and Academic Services (CCAAS) and is
available to University of Illinois undergraduate students in all colleges and across all majors.

goals, while completing all necessary coursework in their intended major. Applicants interested in a preprofessional program should plan on completing the coursework listed in the following pages. However,
admission will be based on the applicant’s intended major.
Pre-professional Requirements for Medicine
Medicine is a career requiring a professional degree. Students are required to complete certain undergraduate
prerequisite courses in order to be eligible to apply to a medical school. It is essential for students to research
and know the requirements for admission to each of the medical schools to which they apply. These
requirements are listed in the Medical School Admissions Requirements (MSAR) book, published by the
Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) and the Osteopathic Medical College Information Book (CIB),
published by the American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine (AACOM). Both resources can be
viewed at The Career Center. Additional information about preparation for medical school can be found at
www.aamc.org and www.aacom.org.
Pre-Health Advising at The Career Center
Admission into a medical school is highly competitive. The Career Center provides pre-professional advising for
students who are interested in pursuing medicine as a career. This includes discussion of prerequisites and
expectations of medical schools, preparation in and outside the classroom, details of the application process and
characteristics of competitive applicants. The Center also coordinates the visits of deans and admissions officers
to the campus to provide information about various health professions. The Career Center also provides a
service, Letters of Evaluation Online (LEO), which allows students to store letters of evaluation.
Contact The Career Center at 217/333-0820 or online at www.careercenter.illinois.edu.
Academic Advising
Since students who are interested in the health professions are expected to enter degree programs of their
choice, their academic advising is provided by the departmental offices of the curricula or majors that they have
selected. Academic advisors can assist students in making sure they are making appropriate progress towards
completing their degree at the University of Illinois.
Completing some of the following Parkland College courses prior to transferring to the
University of Illinois may be helpful.
BIO 121, Anatomy & Physiology I and BIO 122, Anatomy & Physiology II
ENG 101, Composition I and ENG 102, Composition II

SCHOOL OF SOCIAL WORK
Effective: 8/1/13-7/31/15
UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS
School of Social Work
Social Work: http://www.socialwork.illinois.edu/
The purpose of undergraduate social work education at the School of Social Work is to provide a
comprehensive educational experience for students that is grounded in a liberal arts tradition and
prepares graduates for excellence in the areas of social work practice, policy, social engagement and
leadership. Graduates will prepare for entry into three potential tracks upon degree completion, including
(but not limited to): generalist social work practice, advanced standing in graduate social work education
and career opportunities and graduate education in the areas such as communications, religious studies
and public service. The focus of undergraduate curriculum delivery is through a student-centered,
strengths-based educational model that fosters student understanding by providing a challenging, yet
supportive environment of high expectations that encourages the development of well-informed and
engaged citizens.
Transfer I nform ation
The Bachelor of Social Work program is not large in the number of students admitted and the program is
very highly structured. If there is intent to substitute coursework, please consult the following
website: https://www.transfer.org/uselect/, for transfer course information and also with the School of
Social Work contact listed below to determine if the substitute coursework might be acceptable. If
equivalent courses or course substitutions are not available, intended Parkland College transfer students
may need to extend the time to degree completion to satisfy the BSW degree requirements.
Parkland College students are accepted for both fall and spring transfer at any level, regardless of
academic status. Admission to the School of Social Work requires a minimum GPA of 2.50 (A =
4.00), evidence of a sufficient number of hours of volumteer or paid work experience in a social service
agency 1, nominally 50 hours, (refer to the footnote for more information) prior to beginning of the
program, evidence of strong communication and interpersonal skills, evidence of personal attributes that
are suitable for the profession of social work and completion of the School of Social Work BSW
Application.*
Please note: The School of Social Work will utilize a holistic review process which will assess the entire
student, i.e., academic record, work and service experience, leadership ability, demonstrated analytical
and critical thinking skills, grade point average and the quality of the personal and professional
information offered in all of the included essays. An interview with the applicant may be requested.
Ultimately, the criteria for transfer admission will be determined by the quality of the applicant pool.
*Applicants must complete a School of Social Work BSW Program Application that can be found
at http://www.socialwork.illinois.edu/ and mail to the School of Social Work, 1010 W. Nevada, Urbana,
IL. 61801.
Language R ecom m endation: The School of Social Work requires completion through the
third level of one language other than English, either in high school or college, to graduate
from the college. It is strongly recommended that transfer applicants complete this graduation
requirement prior to the term of enrollment at the University of Illinois. Early completion of this
graduation requirement will allow time to complete other degree requirements, e.g., General Education
coursework. Length of time to graduation may increase if the Language Requirement for graduation is
not completed prior to enrollment. Parkland College courses which satisfy this recommendation
can be found on page 12 of this publication.
