Transfer Program Admission
Because of state regulations, students who apply to Associate in Arts (AA), Associate in Science (AS), Associate in Engineering Science (AES) or Associate in Fine Arts (AFA) Degree transfer programs will be accepted to the college, but may be admitted to the program on a provisional basis until certain minimum entrance requirements are satisfied.
Minimum program admission requirements reflect the provisions of Illinois state law (Public Act 86-0954). This act specifies that 15 units of high school course work or the equivalent are required for admission to all public institutions. This Act affects students at LLCC who wish to be admitted to Associate in Arts, Associate in Science, Associate in Engineering Science or Associate in Fine Arts programs. Minimum entrance requirements for all students who wish to enroll in these transfer programs are described as follows:
- four years of English — written and oral communications, literature
- three years of mathematics — minimum of one year of algebra I, one year of geometry and one year of algebra II (intermediate algebra)
- two years of science — laboratory science
- two years of social studies — history and/or government
- two years of electives — foreign language, music, art or vocational education
- two flexible academic units — two additional courses (years) from any one or two of the science, social studies and/or electives categories in addition to approved courses in mathematics and English — such as advanced mathematics, computer science, journalism, speech and creative writing
This requirement pertains only to AA, AS, AES and AFA degree transfer programs. It does not affect the career programs (AAS or certificates) or the General Studies program.
