Illinois Statutes Chapter 110. Higher Education § 118/10. Uniform admission system pilot program

Current as of January 01, 2025 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

§ 10. Uniform admission system pilot program.

(a) Beginning with the 2020-2021 academic year, each institution, except for the University of Illinois, shall create a 4-year uniform admission system pilot program under this Act to admit first-time freshman students for each semester of the pilot program.

(b) Beginning with the 2022-2023 academic year, the University of Illinois shall create a 4-year uniform admission system pilot program under this Act to admit community college transfer students for each semester of the pilot program.

The University of Illinois provides multiple pathways to transfer and shall guarantee admission to all applicants who:

(1) have enrolled only at an Illinois community college after graduating from an Illinois high school;

(2) have earned a minimum of 36 graded, transferable semester hours at the time of application to the University. Students are encouraged to consult the Illinois Articulation Initiative general education core curriculum course list and other resources at the State and University level to determine course transferability;

(3) have attained a minimum grade point average of 3.0 in all transferable coursework completed at the time of application to the University; and

(4) have satisfied the University's English language proficiency requirement.

(c) Beginning with the 2024-2025 academic year, each institution shall create a 4-year uniform admission system pilot program under this Act to admit community college transfer students for each semester of the pilot program. This subsection does not apply to a university that already has a uniform admission policy for transfer students equal to or less restrictive than that prescribed in this Section and maintains that policy for the duration of the effective period of this subsection.

At a minimum, the universities shall guarantee admission to all applicants who:

(1) have enrolled at a State community college after graduating from a State high school;

(2) have earned a minimum of 36 graded, transferable semester hours at the time of application to the university; students are encouraged to consult the Illinois Articulation Initiative general education core curriculum course list and other resources at the State and university level to determine course transferability;

(3) have attained a minimum grade point average of 3.0 in all transferable coursework completed at the time of application to the university; and

(4) have satisfied the university's English language proficiency requirement.

Nothing in this Section prohibits institutions from establishing or implementing less restrictive uniform admission transfer policies.
