Illinois Articulation Initiative (IAI)
Model for CCC Transfer Degrees and General Education

City Colleges of Chicago participates in the Illinois Articulation Initiative (IAI) which is a comprehensive statewide effort among more than 100 colleges and universities in Illinois to ease the transfer of students. IAI became effective for students entering a participating college or university as first time freshmen the Summer of 1998. Benefits for students are:

. Students who complete the A.A. or A.S. degree, and who meet the admission requirements of the IAI participating baccalaureate degree granting institution to which they transfer, will have completed the lower division general education requirements for an associate or baccalaureate degree in lieu of the receiving institution's general education requirements.

. Students who complete the IAI General Education Core Curriculum (GECC) and transfer to participating institutions have the assurance that lower division general education requirements for an associate or baccalaureate degree have been satisfied.

A receiving institution may require transfer students to complete an institution wide and/or mission related graduation requirement beyond the scope of the Illinois General Education Core Curriculum.

The IAI Website ( www.itransfer.org ) includes information on requirements for general education and specific majors, course descriptions, and a student planning worksheet.

Due to the increasing number of students fulfilling degree requirements at more than one City College, a District wide model for CCC Transfer Degrees and General Education requirements has been designed. This model facilitates the need for a smooth transition for the student's path to degree completion. Listed below is the District wide model for CCC Transfer Degrees and General Education Requirements.

Uniform CCC Transfer Degree Requirements

Associate in Arts:	62 Hours*	37-41 hours of General Education 21 25 hours of additional graduation requirements, electives, and concentration area requirements
Associate in Science:	64 hours*	37-41 hours of General Education 23 27 hours of additional graduation requirements, electives, and concentration area requirements

The General Education component of both degrees equates with the IAI General Education Core Curriculum and consists of courses that are IAI approved for this College as follows:

• 9 hours of Communication (English 101, English 102, and Speech 101)
• 3-6 hours of Mathematics
• 9 hours of Social Sciences (no more than 2 courses from any one discipline)
• 9 hours of Humanities and Fine Arts (one course from Humanities, one course from Fine Arts and one course from either Humanities or Fine Arts)
  
  Note: Humanities includes Humanities, Philosophy, Literature, Religion, and Foreign Language 104 and above. The Fine Arts category does not allow studio art courses.
• 7-8 hours of Science (one course each from the physical and life sciences at least one of which must be a lab course)

At least one course must meet the State's Human Diversity requirement. The course descriptions on the IAI Website for Humanities, Fine Arts, and Social and Behavioral Sciences include the designations "D" for courses designed to examine aspects of human diversity within the United States and "N" for courses designed to examine aspects of human diversity from a non Western perspective.
Note: The IAI General Education requirements for particular areas of concentration may vary from those described above. Information about the IAI requirements is described on the IAI Website.
*These represent minimum hours for graduation.

Transfer Student Miscellaneous Info

Residency Requirement
Students transferring to Kennedy-King College from other institutions of higher learning must earn a minimum of 15 semester hours at Kennedy-King College to be eligible for the Associate degree.

Transferring Credits to Kennedy-King College
Transfer students and veterans who intend to earn a degree or certificate from Kennedy-King College must have official transcripts from all previous colleges sent to the Office of Admissions and Records at the time of application for admission. Kennedy-King College will grant credit for acceptable course work (courses in which the student has earned a grade of “C” or better) completed at accredited colleges and universities up to a total of 45 semester hours. The college retains the right to determine which transfer courses will fulfill graduation or departmental program requirements. Evaluations of transfer credits are made upon request only.

Transferring from Kennedy-King College to a Four-Year Institution
Kennedy-King College general education and liberal arts courses are designed for transfer to four-year colleges and universities. The transferability of career and vocational program courses, designed primarily to lead to employment, varies according to the area of study and the particular institution’s requirements. students should, therefore, visit the Transfer Center during the first semester to select the institution to which they intend to transfer, review its requirements carefully, and plan a Kennedy-King program in consultation with a Transfer Center advisor, or college advisor. Most four year institutions will grant full credit for up to 60 credit hours of community college courses, but each college has its own admission, graduation and departmental program requirements, which Kennedy-King College courses may not in all cases satisfy. The Transfer Center maintains a large resource library of current college catalogs, a file of specific transfer agreements with area colleges, and a regular schedule of visits from admissions managers. Students intending to transfer are urged to begin planning early. Kennedy-King College will send transcripts to other institutions at the student’s written request, unless the student has financial or other obligations to the college. (allow a minimum of 10 days)

Dawson Technical Institute
Transfer Trainees: Trainees transferring to the Chicago City Colleges are required to submit official college transcripts of all credits earned at other institutions. Transfer trainees may obtain a waiver from the math and reading tests if they have received a grade of “C” or better in a college level English or math course or have already earned an Associate Degree or higher. Trainees requesting a waiver from testing must provide an official college transcript to the Registrar’s office. Successfully completed course work, with a grade of “C” or better, from accredited institutions, will be evaluated. If accepted as satisfying certificate requirements, these transfer hours will be counted towards graduation and certificate completion

College Advisors
Professionally trained College Advisors are available to assist students in clarifying their educational objectives, exploring career choices, selecting a transfer institution, and making referral to community agencies to work out social or personal problems which may interfere with academic progress. College Advisors orient new students to college life through pre-registration workshops. Advisors assist new students in interpreting placement test scores and offer a variety of workshops and seminars on study skills, education program planning, and college survival skills. The Advising staff also provides pre-admission, and registration counseling.

College and University Transfer Center
The College and University Transfer Center at Kennedy-King College assists former students, graduates, and current students in identifying, screening and selecting upper division (4 yr.) colleges and universities to attend. Students will be supported in completing procedures for transfer through direct assistance, workshops, seminars, meetings with four-year college representatives, and visits to transfer institutions.

Credit Hour Limit – Transfer Students
Students transferring from one of the City Colleges of Chicago to another will have their cumulative registered credit and clock hours, earned at any of the colleges, applied toward their Credit Hour Limit. Students transferring to the City Colleges of Chicago from outside the District will have their cumulative accepted hours applied toward their Credit Hour Limit. Accepted hours are all hours earned in college-level courses in which the student received a grade of C or better and are applicable towards a degree or certificate at the City Colleges of Chicago. Exceptions may be appealed to the Office of Student Services.
