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 + 1116

The 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.

TRANSFER INFORMATION

There is transfer information covering a wide variety of topics in the "General Transfer Information" section of the Advising Handbook. The handbook is located in Counseling and Advising Services (SRC- 2044) and may be useful to students.

Transfer students must have an overall 2.0 G.P.A. for all courses attempted and be in good standing with their previous school for admission to Loyola. All students must submit a high school transcript in addition to a COD transcript. Students with less than 30 quarter hours must also send results of either the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) or the American College Test (ACT).

Loyola University accepts a maximum of 96 quarter hours from College of DuPage.

Loyola University does not accept College of DuPage's A.A. or A.S. degree as meeting all general education requirements. Students must complete Loyola's Core Curriculum (general education) requirements prior to graduation from Loyola University but not for admission. However, COD students should attempt to complete as many of Loyola's Core Curriculum (general education) requirements as possible while at College of Dupage.

Loyola University has general education requirements totaling 51 semester hours. This pertains primarily to the College of Arts and Sciences, but it also applies with appropriate modifications to the curricula in business administration, education and nursing.

Physical education courses are accepted as elective credits and for certification in elementary, secondary and special education.

Students applying for admission into the School of Business administration must have a 2.5 G.P.A..

School of Nursing applicants must have an overall 2.5 G.P.A. for all courses attempted to be considered for admission. February 1 is the deadline for applying for nursing; admission to the School of Nursing is competitive.
