The College of Lake County Counseling Center produces this guide as an accommodation for students. Every effort is made to
maintain accurate information; however, this information is subject to frequent change. Students should contact the four-year
school to keep informed of changes, as final responsibility for verifying information rests with the student.
TRANSFER OPTIONS
 Completed AA or AS degree: UIC recommends that students follow the appropriate UIC College transfer guide
while completing an A.A. or A.S. degree before transferring. All of UIC’s academic programs have specific
college pre-requisite courses that must be completed at CLC in order to be considered for admission.
 IAI GECC: Completing only the IAI General Education Core at CLC (no AA/AS) will be evaluated by UIC as
completing the lower division general education requirements; however, the courses required for
acceptance to a particular program may not be met. There will be additional UIC College graduation
requirements.
 Completing some courses at CLC: If transferring prior to completing the IAI General Education Core at CLC,
students may have an opportunity to complete the Core at UIC with approved IAI courses or to follow UIC's
general education requirements to meet the general education component of the baccalaureate degree in
order to graduate from UIC.
TRANSFER CREDITS
After attaining junior standing, all students must complete 60 semester hours at UIC or another accredited fouryear institution. Ordinarily, students should not enroll at a community college after earning 60 semester hours. See
additional University Degree Requirements here:
http://catalog.uic.edu/ucat/degree-programs/univ-degree-requirements-graduation/
In general, some D grades transfer. However, several UIC colleges require C’s or better in Math courses (LAS,
Business, Engineering, and Education). In addition, the College of Engineering, the College of Education, and the
College of Nursing require C’s or above in all college courses to transfer these courses toward a Bachelors degree.
Course equivalencies can be viewed using the Transferology website: https://www.transferology.com/
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
Transfer applicants with less than 36 hours of credit at time of enrollment must submit high school transcripts and
ACT/SAT scores. Students who fall below the minimum 24 credit hours at the time of application, but have
completed one semester of college-level coursework, are now eligible to apply as a transfer student if they submit
high school transcripts and ACT scores for the following academic colleges: College of Architecture, Design, & the
Arts, College of Business Administration, and College of Liberal Arts & Sciences. Other academic programs will
review transfer applicants with less than 24 credit hours on a case by case basis with the exception of Nursing and
Nutrition (see attached transfer requirements page).

CALCULATION OF ADMISSION GPA
All candidates must have at least a 2.00/4.00 grade point average in all coursework accepted by the University. A
student may be required to meet higher minimum grade point averages in certain degree programs. Developmental
coursework and non-transferable coursework does not get calculated into the GPA. For repeated courses, if both
grades remain on the transcript, the GPA is averaged, but credit for the course is only received once.
