| Public Act 103-0205 | ||||
| ||||
| ||||
AN ACT concerning education.
| ||||
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||
represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||
Section 5. The Public University Uniform Admission Pilot | ||||
Program Act is amended by changing Section 10 as follows: | ||||
(110 ILCS 118/10) | ||||
(Section scheduled to be repealed on July 1, 2027) | ||||
Sec. 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. | ||
