Joliet Junior College and ³Ô¹ÏÁÔÆæ Guaranteed Admission Transfer Partnership


³Ô¹ÏÁÔÆæ (³Ô¹ÏÁÔÆæ) and Joliet Junior College (JJC) are thrilled to offer a Guaranteed Admission Transfer Partnership. Both institutions see this as a means of increasing access to and success in educational programs for all students, especially the underrepresented.

How can JJC students benefit from this partnership?

Not only do ³Ô¹ÏÁÔÆæ-bound JJC students receive the opportunity to earn two degrees -- an associate degree from JJC and bachelor's degree from ³Ô¹ÏÁÔÆæ -- they conveniently receive on-campus access to ³Ô¹ÏÁÔÆæ transfer resources and support hosted on each Joliet Junior College campus to facilitate college retention and transition to ³Ô¹ÏÁÔÆæ.

³Ô¹ÏÁÔÆæ-JJC students who qualify can also partake in the following:

  1. Those participating in the Guaranteed Admission Transfer Partnership will be awarded the Preferred Partnership Scholarship and have the opportunity to apply for the Full-Tuition Scholarship.
  2. JJC students will be invited to attend special events and workshops in support of their college transition and academic success.
  3. For ³Ô¹ÏÁÔÆæ undergraduate students planning to pursue ³Ô¹ÏÁÔÆæ's graduate Speech-Language Pathology program, ³Ô¹ÏÁÔÆæ offers students a direct admission process.

How will ³Ô¹ÏÁÔÆæ prepare JJC students for success?

The ³Ô¹ÏÁÔÆæ Transfer Student Services Center and the Office of Admission are both committed to the academic success of all transfer students and look forward to the new partnership with Joliet Junior College by creating a seamless transition for all JJC transfer students.

To further prepare students, ³Ô¹ÏÁÔÆæ will:

  1. Create clear and concise transfer guides for students to follow to guarantee a smooth transition to ³Ô¹ÏÁÔÆæ, which will include mapping out a suggested eight-semester plan for students hoping to graduate with a bachelor's degree in four years.
  2. Arrange faculty meetings for JJC students who have questions regarding the major.
  3. Connect JJC students with ³Ô¹ÏÁÔÆæ financial aid counselors prior to transferring to ³Ô¹ÏÁÔÆæ for a better understanding on how to finance their education.
  4. Guide JJC students about the transfer process, which starts with the JJC student applying at least one semester out. With the Guaranteed Admission Transfer Partnership, the student will work with an ³Ô¹ÏÁÔÆæ contact person early on by offering financial counseling, dual advising and the benefit of guaranteed admissions.

Any questions regarding this partnership may be sent to Eileen Luce, director of Transfer Student Services Center, at luceFREE³Ô¹ÏÁÔÆæ.
