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.
University of Illinois at Urbana is a Participant in the IAI (General Education Core Curriculum and/or the Illinois Baccalaureate Majors' Curricula).
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, Transfer and Advising Services (IC-2010) and may be useful to students.
U of I has prepared a videotape highlighting the academic programs and services of the university. The tape is located in the Counseling, Transfer and Advising Services and the CCIC in the LRC at COD.
Students should consult the UIUC Transfer Handbook prepared by U of I while at COD. The purpose of the handbook is to assist students in selecting appropriate courses at college of DuPage for the curriculum they plan to pursue at University of Illinois. Curricula for each of the colleges at University of Illinois are listed with suggested two-year programs including the name, address and telephone number of a contact person at U of I for further information in each area. Transfer students are strongly urged to follow one of the suggested two-year programs in the handbook because each of the nine colleges at U of I maintain their own general education requirements.

The academically best qualified status is determined competitively based on the applicant's pre-transfer grade point average in baccalaureate oriented course work. The student's class level may be defined by total baccalaureate hours earned by the desired term of entry." |
