University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, The transfer GPA for Chemical/Biomolecular Engineering was erroneously listed as a 2.70 in the Transfer Handbook.

04/05/2010

University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

The transfer GPA for Chemical/Biomolecular Engineering was erroneously listed as a 2.70 in the Transfer Handbook (www.transferhandbook.illinois.edu). That is incorrect and has been changed to reflect the correct transfer GPA of 3.2. We apologize for the error. Please contact me directly with any additional questions or concerns.

NIU Updates from Fall 2008

12/06/2008

NIU will accept transcripts through traditional mail or via electronic data interchange (EDI).

Effective in fall 2009, students may take Sign Language to satisfy the foreign language requirement for the B.A. degree. NIU's: AHRS 101, 102, 201, 202. Please feel free to send syllabi and Form 13's for review of your sign language courses.

New Emphasis-Actuarial Science (within the Mathematical Sciences B.S. major)

NIU will no longer accept courses with "D" grades in transfer. If a student completes an A.A. / A.S. / A.A.T. degree in Early Childhood, Secondary Math, or Special Education or the IAI GECC from an Illinois Public Community College they will receive "compact benefits".
Therefore, a course with a "D" would only need to be repeated if required for the major.

Please contact me with any questions.
Thank You,

Western's Articulation date has changed for Macomb and QC.

05/30/2008

NEWS OF DATE CHANGE:

We were informed that the original date for our community college articulation conference, 10/3, conflicted with the annual NACADA conference (thanks!! Tina)

We have changed the Macomb conference to Friday, 9/26. We hope many of you will be able to join us after attending the ISU conference on Thursday, 9/25.

Casey Connors, the assistant director of admissions, will be planning this year's conference. If you have any questions about the Macomb conference, please feel free to contact him at JC-Connors@wiu.edu.

Curtis Williams, assistant director of student services and admissions, will be planning the conference at WIU-Quad Cities. If you have any questions regarding the QC conference, please feel free to contact him at CM-Williams11@wiu.edu.

The date for WIU-QC articulation meeting will also be 9/26 at 10am. Next year we will return to hosting the QC meeting the day before the Macomb meeting. Sorry for any inconvenience and you are welcome to attend either program.

Thanks. Joan

Decisions for the IAI GECC Communications and Humanities and Fine Arts panel have been posted.

05/08/2008

You can view decisions for the IAI GECC Communications and Humanities and Fine Arts panels in WebReview. The courses are now in the archive so the best means to view them are by school. The approved courses have also been integrated into the database (this link takes a moment to load so please be patient with it) so you should also see them listed there. As a reminder, you can get the database updates at the beginning of each month for the previous month on this page in the iTransfer.org website.

If need assistance or direction using the WebReview system, please feel free to contact Krista at iTransfer.org by calling 309-438-8640 or emailing at itransfer@itransfer.org However, you may also try the following information on courses submitted to panels and the decision process.

Here's how it works: courses in the WebReview are archived about a week after the scheduled panel meetings. Once in archive, decisions on the courses will be entered to allow you see whether the course was "approved?,""not approved," or "not enough information."If the course was "approved," you probably will not find any additional comments/notes on the course posted with the decision. If a course was "not approved,"the panel may provide an explanation of why it was not approved and direction for the resubmission of course which often includes a suggestion of what you can do to help it be approved with the next submission. If a course is marked as "not enough information,"this means if the stipulations listed are met, the panel will approve the course. Stipulations for this type of decision can be submitted to the panel contact person at IBHE or ICCB and will be forwarded to the panel co-chairs for review and approval or they may request further information if the stipulations are not met with the additional information.

from a community college (or dual credit course) to a state university or from one four year
university to another. Types of transfer and new student resources, including iGET, which
helps students chart their progress within the General Education Core Curriculum, will

Here the system tells how long course can be voted upon and a brief summary of the current coding for the course. By clicking the specific course (again highlighted in bright blue and underlined ), you can see details of the panel's online discussion and voting. Most courses will be archived a week after the panel meeting and the end of voting.

You can view archived courses by looking to the bottom of all the active courses within the panel detail page where the courses are summarized. The section of the page should look something like this:
