Quarter to Semester Conversion Guide
"HOW TO READ THIS TRANSFER GUIDE"
With the start of the Fall, 2005 term College of DuPage will switch from a quarter to semester system. All the transfer guides will contain both quarter and semester course articulation information to assist students and faculty advisors during this transition phase. Quarter term classes have three digit course numbers, while semester course have Bolded four digit course numbers: For example, ENGLI 101 is a quarter course and ENGLI 1101 is a semester course. In the transfer guides, articulation tables will show a number of course articulation arrangements, for example:
Speec 100, 1100 In the above case the Speech 100 course or 1100 can be used to meet a requirement. Engli 102 + 103, 1102 In above case, English 102 plus 103 or English 1102 can be used to meet the requirement. Math 115, 1115 and 116 and 117, 1116 This case describes two situations: 1.) Math 115 equals 1115 and Math 116 + 117 equals 1116 2.) Math 115 + 116 + 117 equals Math 1115 + 1116The transfer guides are a valuable tool to assist students and faculty advisors with the transfer process. Given the complex nature of the articulation process should you have any questions regarding course equivalencies contact the College Articulation Office at 630/942.2500.

There is no hour or time limit for completion of transfer agreement. Waivers will be necessary for students following earlier catalogs.
ASSOCIATE DEGREE BENEFITS
Transfer students who receive an Associate in Arts or Associate in Science degree from an Illinois public community college will be guaranteed the following:
A) A minimum of 60 semester hours in transfer credit; B) Junior status; and C) All lower division EIU general Education requirements are automatically waived D) The Cultural Diversity and the Constitution Requirements are automatically waived * *Students transferring to Eastern who have received an AA or AS degree from an Illinois public community college will have met both the Cultural Diversity and the Constitution Requirements.

Fall 2000 and subsequent catalogs - If all 9-semester hours of the Social and Behavioral Science component are complete, then students are exempt from the general education Constitution requirement. If an IAI course is taken that has the "D" or "N" designation, then the general education Cultural Diversity requirement will be met. If requirements have not been satisfied, the student will be expected to complete appropriate course work at Eastern.

IMPORTANT POINTS ABOUT EASTERN AND THE IAI

New Transfer Students - An undergraduate transfer student may choose to graduate under the requirements stated in the EIU catalog at the time of initial enrollment at another college provided that catalog did not precede enrollment at EIU by more than three years. A transfer student may also choose any subsequent catalog.
Re-admit Students - A Re-admit student has the option to continue under the catalog year he/she originally began course work at Eastern Illinois University, or he/she may choose a subsequent catalog year to present. Please discuss during advisement session.
