History

Illinois Central College first started classes on September 18, 1967,

in temporary buildings at its East Peoria location. Situated on over

400 acres of wooded terrain, the East Peoria Campus is now

home to the Edwards Library Administration Building, Academic

Building, Agricultural and Industrial Technologies Building, Ramsey

Gymnasium, Performing Arts Center, the Caterpillar Building, and

the Horticulture Land Laboratory.

In 1973, Illinois Central College purchased a downtown site on

Southwest Adams Street, which included the Perley and Thomas

Buildings. ICC Peoria, located at 5407 N. University Street in Peoria,

opened in December 2002. August 2004, student residences

opened, offering students an on-campus, apartment-style living

option. In 2008, the College developed ICC Pekin at the Riverway

Business Park, located at 225 Hanna Drive. ICC Peoria was newly

renovated in 2016. The Student Resource Center was completed

in 2017 and includes a Student Success Center, Student Activities

Office, cafeteria, bookstore, student lounge, and meeting rooms.

Three out of ten graduating high school seniors living in the ICC

district choose Illinois Central College. ICC annually awards more

than 1,800 degrees and certificates.

Philosophy/Core Values

Founded as a comprehensive community college in 1966 in

response to the Illinois Master Plan for Higher Education, Illinois

Central College was established to meet the post-secondary

needs of the citizens of the District and to supplement the area

schools and four-year colleges.

The College was formed on the belief that individuals have worth

and dignity in their own right and should be educated to the fullest

extent of their abilities and motivation. Education of each citizen

creates a better community for all. The College strives to provide

quality education appropriate to each individual’s needs within the

bounds of fiscal responsibility. Illinois Central College is committed

to non-discrimination and equal opportunity regardless of age, race,

gender, ethnicity, religion, or physical capability. We believe that

by representing the diversity of our district, we enrich the learning

experience and create a broader and better understanding of our

global community. In support of building this learning environment,

we are dedicated to being a leader in recruiting, retaining, and

promoting a diverse group of students, faculty, and staff.

The student is the center of all that is done at Illinois Central

College. The College strives to provide students the knowledge,

skills and understanding for successful and satisfying careers

and for intelligent participation in, and preservation of, a free

and democratic society. This includes the development of a higher

sense of values and the desire for continuous education through-

out life. To achieve these purposes, the College encourages

excellence in teaching and close communication between

instructor and student.

To fulfill its philosophy and mission, the College:

• Promotes student access through both admission policies and

reasonable student costs that encourage enrollment of those

who can benefit from the instruction and services offered.

• Enhances the academic and personal development of all

students through a full range of support services.

• Provides a broad general education curriculum for students in

all programs as a basis for further study and specialization.

• Offers the requirements and prerequisites in preparation for

successful transfer to a four-year institution to complete a

baccalaureate degree.

• Provides a variety of career and technical programs in

preparation for successful employment.

• Provides developmental and foundational level studies for

students with academic deficiencies.

• Provides opportunities for students to appreciate and benefit

from the diversity of people in a global community.

• Offers continuing education opportunities for students interested

in meeting personal goals or updating employment skills and

pursuing cultural and leisure interests.

• Cooperates with other educational, business, and governmental

entities to address educational needs related to the economic

health of the residents of the District.

• Provides special cultural, recreational, and general interest

events which enrich the life of the community.

The College is committed to

its Core Values: Learning,

Community, Integrity,

Responsibility, and Excellence

Vision

Illinois Central College is a comprehensive college committed to

a future that “surprises” our students, employees, and community.

We do not think that “settling” is enough. We, the people of ICC,

are dedicated to becoming an institution that delights our students

with relevant and up-to-date classes, exemplary service, and an

enriching campus life, all at an affordable cost. We know what it

takes for our students to succeed, and we make it happen. Educa-

tion at ICC leads to successful careers, transfers to baccalaureate

programs, and life-long learning experiences to improve our students’

lives and opportunities.

The short version of the vision is: We provide an

exceptional educational experience

that delights our students and stakeholders.

Mission

The mission of the College is expressed in these sentences:

Through learning, minds change.

We believe by changing minds,

we can change the world.

Diversity Pledge

Illinois Central College stands committed to diversity in all of its

dimensions. The College embraces, values, and encourages

diversity at all levels of its operation. The College stands for

tolerance, non-discrimination, and cultural sensitivity.

Inclusion is at the core of Illinois Central College’s educational and

service strategies. Respect for diverse individuals will be evident

in the College’s interactions with students, employees, and the

communities it serves.

Understanding Accreditation

Educational accreditation is a process of external quality review

created and used by higher education to scrutinize colleges,

universities and programs for quality assurance and quality

improvement. Accreditation in the United States is more than

100 years old, emerging from concerns to protect public health

and safety and to serve the public interest.

In the United States, accreditation is carried out by private,

nonprofit organizations designed for this specific purpose.

External quality review of higher education is a nongovern-

mental enterprise.

General College Regulations

ILLINOIS CENTRAL COLLEGE COLLEGE CATALOG 2017-2018

There are two types of educational accreditation:

institutional and specialized.

REGIONAL (INSTITUTIONAL) ACCREDITATION

Institutional Institutional accreditation is provided by regional and

national associations of schools and colleges. There are six

regional associations, each named after the region in which it

operates (Middle States Commission, New England Association,

Higher Leaning Commission, Southern Association, Western

Association for Community and Junior Colleges, Western

Association for Senior Colleges and Universities).The regional

associations are independent of one another, but they cooperate

extensively and acknowledge one another’s accreditation. Several

national associations focus on particular kinds of institutions (for

example, trade and technical colleges, and religious colleges and

universities). An institutional accrediting agency evaluates an

entire educational organization in terms of its mission and the

agency’s standards or criteria. As an institution, Illinois Central

College is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission

(hlcommission.org).

SPECIALIZED (PROGRAMMATIC) ACCREDITATION

Programmatic accreditors review specific programs, professions

and freestanding schools of law, medicine, engineering, etc.

Several ICC programs have sought and received specialized

(program) accreditation/approval. These include the following.

Accrediting Agencies

• National Automotive Technicians Education Foundation

• Association of Leaders in Equipment Distribution Foundation

• American Bar Association Standing Committee on Paralegals

Approval Commission

• National Association of Schools of Music

• National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences

• Commission on Dental Accreditation

• Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs

• National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission

• Illinois Board of Nursing

• Illinois Department of Public Health

• Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education

• Commission for Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education

• Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology

• Commission on Accreditation for Respiratory Care

Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action

Illinois Central College is accredited by the Higher Learning

Commission. It is the policy of this College that no person, on the

basis of race, color, religion, gender, national origin, age, disability,

sexual orientation, or veteran's status, shall be discriminated

against in employment, in educational programs and activities,

or in admission. Inquiries and complaints may be addressed to

the Vice President of Diversity, International and Adult Education,

Illinois Central College, 1 College Drive, East Peoria, Illinois

61635-0001, (309) 694-5561.

Feedback to Illinois Central College

ICC encourages current students to provide input in the form of

compliments, suggestions, or complaints. Your feedback needs to

be written and can be submitted using the ICC online feedback

form found at the bottom of each page of the website. The College

wants to hear about the good things that work, things that maybe

weren’t so great, and ideas to make ICC better.

We ask that you provide feedback that is respectful, detailed, and

timely, and refrain from using profanity, name-calling, or other

inappropriate language. Submissions may be made anonymously,

but if the submission includes an email, ICC personnel will follow

up with the individual with the answer or resolution or for further

clarification if needed to resolve the situation.

Admission to the College does not guarantee entrance or enroll-

ment into a particular course or program of study. The College

reserves the right to establish selective admission procedures and

to give preference to residents of Community College District 514.

Refer to the section titled Programs with Special Admission

Requirements for specific information or students seeking an

F-1 student visa should refer to the section titled International

Students.

Residency Requirements

Illinois Central College adheres to current residency requirements

set forth by the Illinois Community College Board and the State

Board of Education. For students under the age of 24, please note

that changing your address does not automatically change your

residency. Students who are legal residents within District 514 are

afforded the current in-district tuition rate. Please refer to the map

and the zip code listing to determine your residency status.

If your legal residence is within a split district zip code, your resi-

dency will be out-of-district at the time you apply to Illinois Central

College. Please provide a copy of your most recent property tax

bill to Enrollment Services so a final determination can be made

for your residency status.

RESIDENCY STATUSES:

In-District Resident: A student that graduated from a high school

within District 514 and has legal residency within District 514 at

the time of application to Illinois Central College or is a dependent

of a person who has legal permanent residence within District 514

at the time of the student’s application to ICC will be classified as

an In-District student. Students age 24 years or older may also be

classified as an In-District student by establishing residency within

District 514 regardless of the high school from which the student

graduated.

Out-of-District Resident: A student that graduated from a high

school outside of District 514 or has legal residency outside of

District 514 at the time of application to Illinois Central College will

be classified as an out-of-district student. Students dependent

upon a person whose permanent residence is outside of District

Chargebacks

Illinois Central College is a partner within the Illinois Partial

Student Support Program. The intent of this agreement is to

expand the education programs that are provided to students

within District 514 as well as offering ICC programs to Illinois

students from outside District 514. The chargeback reduces

the student’s tuition obligation to the current in-district rate of

the school at which the student will attend.

The agreement works in two ways:

1.A District 514 student can enroll in a program of study not

offered by Illinois Central College but is offered by another

Illinois community college.

2.A student that resides within the State of Illinois but outside

District 514 can enroll at ICC in a program of study that is not

offered by their home community college district.

District 514 students continue to have the option of attending

any community college within Illinois if their program of study is

not offered by ICC. However, if ICC has entered into a cooperative

agreement with a school that offers the selected program of study,

ICC will not approve a chargeback agreement request for the

student to attend the selected institution. Please refer to the

Cooperative Educational Agreements section below for more

information.

The chargeback agreement can be found at icc.edu/admissions/

enrollment/enrollment-forms.

For more information on the chargeback agreement, please

contact ICC Enrollment Services, Room L211 on the East Peoria

Campus, or by phone at (309) 694-5606.

Cooperative Educational Agreements

Working cooperatively with various Illinois two-year colleges, Illinois

Central College has agreed to participate in the Community College

Educational Agreement (Cooperative Agreement). The intent of

this agreement is to expand the educational programs that are

provided to students within District 514, as well as offering our

programs to Illinois students from outside District 514.

The Cooperative Agreement reduces the student’s tuition obligation

to the current in-district rate of the receiving institution.

The Agreement works in two ways:

1. A District 514 student can enroll in a curriculum (program) that is

not offered by Illinois Central College but is offered by a partici-

pating two-year college.

2. A non-District 514 student can enroll at ICC in a curriculum (major)

that is not offered by their home community college district.

The chargeback and cooperative agreement form can be obtained

online at icc.edu/admissions/enrollment/enrollment-forms.

High School Inter-District Agreements

ICC has agreed to partner with our bordering community colleges

to develop the High School Inter-District Agreement.

This agreement works to provide in-district tuition for taxpayers to

high school districts within District 514 that educate students from

both District 514 and bordering community college districts.

The specific high school districts are as follows:

El Paso-Gridley District #11

Farmingron District #265

Fieldcrest District #6

Flanagan-Cornell District #74

Henry-Senachwine District #5

Illini Bluffs District #327

Illini Central C.U.S.D. #189

Midland District #7

Midwest Central District #191

Princeville District #326

If you are a taxpayer to any of the above high school districts and

are classified as an out-of-district resident at Illinois Central College,

please provide a copy of your most recent property tax bill to

Enrollment Services, so a final determination can be made for

your residency status. If you have any questions, please contact

Enrollment Services, Room 211, (309) 694-5606.

Degree Specific Admission Requirements

Illinois Central College maintains an open-door, open-access

policy with regard to general admission to the College. Although

selected programs have established, and maintained, specific

admission requirements, applicants will be admitted to the general

programs of the College. Placement tests and academic advise-

ment will be utilized to determine the appropriate courses in which

students should enroll.

ASSOCIATE IN ARTS DEGREE

ASSOCIATE IN SCIENCE DEGREE

ASSOCIATE IN ENGINEERING SCIENCE DEGREE

All new full-time applicants who intend to enroll in the Associate in

Arts Degree program, Associate in Science Degree program, or in

the Associate in Engineering Science Degree program (the usual

course of study for baccalaureate/transfer students planning to

seek a bachelor degree) must submit not only an application but

also high school transcripts (or GED scores) and ACT scores.

As a result of minimum standards established by the Illinois Board

of Higher Education and Public Act 86-0954, it is recommended

that applicants for the Associate in Arts Degree or Associate in

Science Degree successfully complete at least 15 units of high

school coursework from the following categories:

• 4years of English, emphasizing written and oral communication

and literature

• 3 years of college preparatory mathematics, including intro-

ductory through advanced algebra, geometry, or fundamentals

of computer programming

• 2 years of social science

• 2 years of laboratory science

• 2 years of one foreign language, fine arts (art, music,

theatre, or dance), or vocational education

• 2 years of elective coursework, including coursework in any of

the categories above (excluding English)

These course-specific requirements are minimums. Some high

school students should include coursework beyond the minimum

in fields they may be considering for advanced study in a college

or university. For example, students who think they want to pursue

a degree in science or mathematics should take additional courses

in mathematics and lab science in high school.

For applicants who do not meet one or more of the course-

specified requirements above, ACT minimum sub-scores were

established to determine whether high school equivalent knowl-

edge and skills have been acquired: 20 for English, 20 for math,

20 for science, and 20 for social studies (on the reading sub-scores).

Students with a deficiency in one of the high-school-course areas

may also satisfy the requirement by passing a college-level course

in this area with a grade of C or higher, or by passing one of the

following Illinois Central College courses:

English requirement: ENGL 095 or ENGL 099

Math requirement: MAT 098

Science requirement: CHEM 094

ICC Peoria • Arbor Hall, A103 • (309) 690-6990

ICC Pekin • Main Office • (309) 353-5088

The College uses placement tests in subjects like math and

reading to determine college readiness and to place students in

classes at the appropriate level. The Reading Placement Test is

required for most college-level courses unless the student has

met one of the other placement options. ICC’s Math Placement

Test is required for all math courses unless one of the other place-

ment options has been met. Availability of score equivalencies

and options will vary by course level.

For specific requirements review “Do I Need a Placement Test” on

the ICC Testing Center website at icc.edu/around-campus/testing-

center/placement-testing/.

Additional placement tests are available for specific courses or

subjects. Direct placement into BIOL 205 is dependent upon

successful completion of the Anatomy and Physiology placement

test. Other placement tests are available but not required for

individuals with background knowledge in Spanish, Music Theory,

and Engineering.

Study guides and additional resources can be found on the

Testing Center website at icc.edu/around-campus/testing-center/

documentation you will need to submit.

Testing Center

East Peoria Campus • L220 • (309) 694-5234

ICC Peoria • Arbor Hall, A103 • (309) 690-6990

The Testing Centers at the East Peoria and Peoria campuses offer

a variety of other testing services. If a student misses an exam in

the classroom the instructor may have the student take a proc-

tored test in the Testing Center. Credit by examination (CLEP and

departmental proficiency exams) are available. Some certification

and licensing exams may be available. All testing is by appoint-

ment. Visit the Testing Center website at icc.edu/testingcenter for

more details about these and other tests, as well as instructions

on scheduling appointments.

Evaluation of Transfer Credit

Students pursuing a degree or certificate at ICC who are interested

in receiving credit from college-level coursework taken from another

institution should have their official transcripts sent directly to

Illinois Central College as early as possible for evaluation. Once

ICC receives an official transcript(s) it is evaluated in the order in

which it is received. Information regarding the date the transcript

was received is available in the student’s eServices account. Keep

in mind that only your credits may transfer, but individual grades

will not be factored into your ICC cumulative grade point averge.

Once completed, a student’s transcript evaluation summary will be

available to view in the student’s eServices account.

Transfer of credit may be considered for lower division coursework

that has been successfully completed from the following categories

of academic institutions:

Regionally Accredited: Degree-granting public, private, nonprofit,

two- and four-year institutions in the United States conferred by

the Higher Learning Commission, and/or parallel accrediting

agencies in other regions of the United States

Non-Regionally Accredited: Specialized institutions in the

United States, including distance learning providers recognized

by the Council of Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) and the

U.S. Department of Education

Admission

ILLINOIS CENTRAL COLLEGE COLLEGE CATALOG 2017-2018

14

Non-United States Institutions: Institutions that hold accreditation

through the home country’s Ministry of Education to award pro-

fessional degrees, certificates, and licensures. Coursework from

non-United States institutions must be evaluated by an approved

agency such as World Education Services (WES.org) or Educa-

tional Credential Evaluators (ECE.org).

Military/DANTES: Credit achieved through military training or

examination may be considered for transfer according to the

Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the

Armed Services by the American Council on Education (ACE)

Additional information on evaluation of transfer credit can be

obtained from Enrollment Services, L211, (309) 694-5611.

Credit For Prior Learning

Several methods are available for students to test their knowledge/

prove their learning about a variety of subject matter in which the

student feels proficient and thereby earn non-traditional college

credit. Credit for prior learning can save a student valuable time

needed for other subjects, in addition to being a financial savings.

Credit for prior learning can be a jump-start to a college certificate

or degree. Examples of credit for prior learning accepted at Illinois

Central College are:

• Military credit (see column at right)

• CLEP exams (see Testing Center, page 13)

• Advanced placement exams (see Testing Center, page 13)

• Early College (see page 233)

• Transfer credit (see page 13)

• Departmental proficiency exams (see Testing Center, page 12

College Credit by Examination

Students may apply a maximum of 30 credit hours towards a

degree through College Credit by Examination. Students pursuing

a certificate must complete a minimum of 30% of their credits

towards their certificate at Illinois Central College.

Credit For Service and Education

in the Armed Forces

Illinois Central College recognizes for college credit certain training

experience in the U.S. armed forces.

To have military education credits evaluated and posted to Illinois

Central College records, official transcripts from The Community

College of the Air Force or Joint Services Transcript (JST) must be

sent directly to the College. It is the student’s responsibility to

request the transcript be sent directly to Illinois Central College.

Any other military education for which students wish to receive

consideration for credit must be listed on the DD-214. Students

must bring a copy of their DD-214 to Enrollment Services. Eligible

veterans, as outlined below, may receive six hours of TC credit

upon submission and review of their DD-214.

To be consistent with federal guidelines, an “eligible veteran”

is defined as one who meets the following criteria:

1. Served on active duty for a period of at least 180 days or;

2. Was released/discharged from active duty because of a service

connected disability, or;

3. Served as a member of a reserve component under an order

of active duty during a period of war or in a campaign or

expedition for which a campaign badge is authorized.

(Reference Public Law 102-127).

To ensure maximum veteran education benefits, please contact

the ICC Veterans Affairs at (309) 694-5562 or in Room 305B on

Academic Advisement

East Peoria Campus • CC200 • (309) 694-5281

ICC Peoria, Cedar Hall • C28 • (309) 690-6893

Academic Advisement services are available to all students

attending Illinois Central College. Advisors assist students in

planning the appropriate classes each semester for their program

of study. Advisors provide guidance concerning specific program

requirements and serve as a source of information regarding

general education requirements, College policies and procedures,

and transferring to a college or university.

Students in a specific curriculum are assigned to either a depart-

mental or faculty advisor in that area. Undecided students are

assigned to the Advisement and Counseling Services Office for

advisement and are assisted by counselors who are trained to

help them with their academic planning and career exploration.

All full-time students are required to obtain academic advisement

and must have an advisor’s approval each semester to enroll

in twelve or more credit hours. Part-time students are strongly

encouraged to seek advisement each semester before enrolling.

The student is responsible for scheduling an appointment with

his/her advisor. Students can obtain their advisor’s name and

contact information from eServices, departmental offices, or the

Advisement and Counseling Services Office, CC200.

Underage Student Enrollment

Students under the age of 16 who wish to enroll in any courses

must petition the Dean of Student Success. Students will be asked

to complete the appeal form, to have completed any assessment

testing or provide results of ACT/ SAT tests, to provide a transcript

including all completed coursework from the current school, and

to provide additional information as indicated on the form. Once

the documentation is provided, an appointment can be made

by calling the Dean of Student Success at (309) 694-8568. It is

recommended that the petition be made a minimum of 2 weeks

prior to the course start date.

PROCESS:

The paperwork and initial meeting with the Dean of Student

Success will serve as an evaluation of the proposed coursework,

as well as the academic and emotional preparedness of the

student for college-level coursework. The dean will confer with

the appropriate faculty member and dean prior to the face-to-face

meeting with the student to determine the academic prepared-

ness needed and any potential challenges or exceptional charac-

teristics of the course that may be relevant to the decision. The

faculty member and dean have the ability to deny entrance into a

class. If the faculty staffing for a class changes, the course enroll-

ment will be reviewed with the new faculty member. Students will

not be permitted to enroll in developmental coursework unless

there are extenuating circumstances that require this enrollment.

The dean will use the feedback and recommendation of the

faculty member and dean in determining student eligibility for an

individual course in conjunction with the face-to-face meeting.

The face-to-face meeting will discuss issues including course

content, course modality, academic rigor, FERPA, safety and

legal issues, and other important aspects regarding underage

enrollment. Students must also provide a letter from the school

principal or other designated official that indicates their recom-

mendation or support of the student for college-level coursework.

If the enrollment is approved by all parties involved, the student

will be allowed to enroll in the course.

DUAL-ENROLLMENT

The student must be enrolled on a full-time basis at a district

elementary or secondary institution or be officially enrolled in a

home education program.

The student must be at least 16 years old to enroll at ICC on a

part-time basis in up to seven (7) credit hours. Part-time enroll-

ment at ICC for students who are at least 16 years old can

supplement a high school curriculum.

International Students

International students on F1 visas are required to contact the

International Education Program Director, (309) 694-8817, or the

International Education Coordinator, (309) 694-5553. International

students must read and write English, understand English when

spoken, and speak easily understood English. All F1 international

students must take a TOEFL, IELTS, or CET4 (China) exam to

assess their English abilities. ICC offers assistance with English

language learning for students with low TOEFL scores. All Interna-

tional students will also be required to take placement tests.

International F1students are required to enroll in a minimum of

12 credit hours each semester, except summer. Students on

dependent visas are not required to enroll full time. The International

Education Office will issue the I-20 form only after all documents

have been submitted and the application has been accepted.

or call (309) 694-5560.

All enrollment materials should be sent to:

Illinois Central College

Enrollment Services, L211

1 College Drive, East Peoria, IL 61635-0001

Enrolling in Classes

Schedules are online at icc.edu

The class schedule lists day, time, and location of classes, and

dates and times for registration. The Summer/Advanced Fall Class

Schedule is generally available the preceding March; the Spring

Class Schedule, the preceding October; and the Fall Class

Schedule in July.

Before enrolling for classes, FULL-TIME STUDENTS MUST

MEET WITH THEIR ACADEMIC ADVISOR to plan a specific

course schedule meeting Illinois Central College requirements,

personal needs, and, if appropriate, four-year institution transfer

requirements. The required approval will be obtained from the

advisor at this time. PART-TIME STUDENTS are encouraged to

meet with an academic advisor or counselor to receive full benefit

of their continuing education. ALL OUTSTANDING FINANCIAL

OBLIGATIONS MUST BE PAID BEFORE ENROLLING.

Instructions and enrollment options/dates are provided in the

class schedule.

Student Status

FULL-TIME STUDENT

Students enrolled for 12 or more credit hours are classified as

full time. These students are entitled to and encouraged to use

all the academic support systems and College facilities available.

Students enrolled in six or more credit hours during the summer

session are classified as full time for academic purposes but

part time for financial aid purposes.

PART-TIME STUDENT

Students enrolled for eleven or fewer credit hours are classified as

part time. These students are entitled to and encouraged to use

all the academic support systems and College facilities available to

full-time students. Students enrolled for five or fewer credit hours

during a summer session are classified as part time.

Maximum Load

The recommended maximum load for a student during an academic

semester is 16 credit hours, unless the program of study requires

a number of hours in excess of 16. The recommended maximum

load for summer is 9 credit hours. Prior to enrolling for more than

18 credit hours during a semester (or for more than nine credit

hours during the regular summer session) permission MUST be

obtained from the dean/associate dean in the student’s curriculum

area. Students with less than a “B” (3.0) grade average are

discouraged from attempting more than 18 credit hours. Students

on academic caution, academic pre-suspension, or re-admitted

suspended students, and students in certain programs may be

limited to a lesser number of hours. Since study time of two hours

is normally required for each lecture hour of class, students carry-

ing a full-time course schedule should be employed no more than

10 to 15 hours per week. In most cases, employment in excess of

15 hours per week should be accompanied by corresponding

reduction of course schedule.

Withdrawal from Classes

When necessary to withdraw from a class or classes, you may do

so at anytime until 75% of the class has elapsed.

Withdrawals are accepted online, by mail, fax, or in person at the

East Peoria Campus (L211); ICC Peoria, Arbor Hall; or ICC Pekin.

You cannot withdraw from a class via phone.

If you experience problems when trying to withdraw online, you

must contact the ICC Help Desk within 24 hours of your attempt

so that we may research the problem. Call the ICC Help Desk at

(309) 694-5457 or email enroll@icc.edu. If you do not make this

contact, your situation will be handled in accordance with the

current ICC enrollment policies.

Students may withdraw from a class until the withdrawal date listed

on their class schedule. All students are financially responsible for

tuition and fees for classes that they enroll into during a semester.

However, if the withdrawal occurs on or before the refund date

listed on the class schedule, the student may be entitled to a

refund of tuition.

Students who are given a failing grade on an assignment for

Academic Misconduct will not be allowed to withdraw from that

course without instructor permission. Students who are given a

failing grade in the course for Academic Misconduct will not be

allowed to withdraw from the course. Illinois Central College

reserves the right to reinstate any individuals who are withdrawn

in these situations.

MAILED OR FAXED WITHDRAWALS

The envelope or fax must bear a postmark prior to or on the

withdrawal (or refund) date published for the course in the class

schedule.

Mailed or faxed withdrawals received during the weekend that

bear the appropriate date on the envelope or fax receipt will be

processed the following business day. If you have any questions,

please contact Enrollment Services for verification. We strongly

encourage you to contact Enrollment Services to verify the

transaction was processed in our system.

LATE WITHDRAWALS

Withdrawals after the end date listed in the class schedule will

be considered late. For more information on the process see

“Request for Late Withdrawal Grades,” in the Student Handbook.

WITHDRAWAL FOR NON-ATTENDANCE

Students who are identified as a non-attender by their instructor

will be withdrawn from the class at midterm. Students recorded

as non-attenders will be notified by mail that they have been

administratively withdrawn from the class without refund of tuition.

Instructors have individual and often varying policies regarding

non-attendance withdrawals. Do not assume you will be withdrawn

if you never attend or stop attending a class.

If space is available, and if approval from department and instruc-

tor are obtained, then students may re-enroll in a class from which

they have been withdrawn.

Non-attendance without an official withdrawal constitutes a failing

or unsatisfactory grade.

Students are financially responsible for tuition and fees for all

classes not officially dropped by the appropriate refund date.

The College reserves the right to cancel class sections due to

insufficient enrollment. Students registered in canceled classes

should arrange to enroll in another class or receive a refund.

Veteran Affairs. Certification requests must be submitted by the

veteran or their eligible dependent(s) each semester to the ICC

Veterans Affairs office to ensure timely and proper enrollment

certification through the US Department of Veteran Affairs.

eServices account. The free payment plans offered by ICC create

regular automatic electronic payments. A down payment is due on

all payment plans, but the due date for the down payment varies

depending on the plan selection. The earlier you enroll in classes

and in a payment plan, the longer you have to pay and the smaller

your monthly payments will be for the semester. You may submit

your payment one of two ways: 1) Electronic bank transfer –

payment(s) automatically deducted from either your checking

or savings account if it is an ACH transferable account. – OR –

2) Credit Card Option – automatic payment(s) will be charged to

a Visa, MasterCard, or Discover card. (PLEASE NOTE: You can

only pay for ICC credit and non-credit charges. Charges for PDI,

Continuing Education, and College for Kids cannot be paid using

this service.) A $10 late fee will be charged for each installment

payment that cannot be successfully processed on the due date

of the installment.

Campus or call (309) 694-5600.

Tuition and Financial Aid Refunds

To ensure timely and accurate delivery of your refund monies,

ICC offers eRefund services to students. To take advantage of

this service, you must set up an eRefund account through your

eServices account. Select the eRefund Account Setup link. You can

find detailed instructions on setting up this account at icc.edu/admi

ssions/paying-for-college.

It is the policy of ICC to deduct from a student’s refund any

outstanding obligation when the refund is processed. Obligations

include, but are not limited to, tuition, NSF checks, institutional

emergency loans, traffic fines, library fines, etc. By law, ICC is

allowed to use financial aid refund dollars to pay any outstanding

obligation for tuition and fees for a prior term within the same aca-

demic year but only $200 can be used to pay an obligation from a

previous academic year. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure

any remaining balance is paid in full or future services (registration,

transcripts, etc.) will be withheld from the student. Financial aid

refund checks not cashed within 60 days will be cancelled and the

funds will be returned back to the Federal Student Aid program.

All authorized refunds, including those for canceled classes, will

be processed approximately the fourth week of classes.

IRS Form 1098-T

As a college student, you (or your parents or guardians) may be

eligible for a tax credit for tuition expenses. To assist you, ICC

provides the IRS Form 1098-T to students and reports qualified

tuition and fees that were billed during the calendar year. In

general, qualified tuition and fees are considered to be billed when

you enroll in the classes. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure

ICC has the correct Social Security Number of Taxpayer Identifi-

cation Number (TIN) on record for tax reporting purposes. If you

would like to receive the Form 1098-T with your TIN information,

you are required to submit an IRS Form W-9S informing ICC of

your TIN for reporting purposes. Please visit irs.gov to obtain the

PDF version of IRS Form W-9S. This form must be submitted to

Enrollment Services, Room, L211, on the East Peoria Campus.

To make sure you always have access to this form (for current

year and previous years), ICC encourages you to sign up to

receive this form through your eServices account. The electronic

version assures that you will be able to access your form as soon

as it’s available. For more information and instructions to sign up

for the electronic form, please visit icc.edu and select “Sign up for

electronic 1098-T form.”

Please check with the IRS or your tax preparer for additional

information on tax credits. ICC does not provide tax advice regarding

tuition tax credits.

Dropping Classes/Refunds

ICC will drop all tuition charges or give 100% refunds of tuition for

any decrease in credit hours including complete withdrawal from

the College if you officially withdraw online or in person prior to the

refund date(s) for the course(s). Refund dates vary and are listed

for each course on the student’s class schedule. The ICC class

schedule can be viewed at icc.edu/classschedule.

For more information and for instructions on how to officially with-

draw from a course, refer to the “Withdrawal from Classes” section

found on page 17. Other attempts to withdraw are not considered

official and will not be honored for a refund. A student will be held

financially responsible for tuition and fees for all classes not

officially dropped by the refund date.

In the event the College cancels a class, a total refund of tuition

and fees related to the class will be made if the student does not

change to another class.

Tuition Appeals

Outstanding Tuition Balance/Refund Appeals will be considered

only when justified by extenuating circumstances such as illness,

mandatory job changes, accident, death or illness in immediate

family which prevent continued attendance in the class(es).

Supporting documentation must be submitted or the request will

not be accepted. There is a limited period of time for the return of

textbooks with a full refund. For information on a refund for text-

books, please contact the ICC Bookstore at (309) 694-5207.

All tuition appeals must be submitted by the last business day

of the month following the term for which the student is appealing

the tuition.

refund dates or procedures are not considered an extenuating

circumstance and the appeal will not be accepted.

Illinois Central College is committed to the philosophy that all

individuals who need, want, and are able to benefit from higher

education should be provided the opportunity to realize their

aspirations and goals. Illinois Central College offers a variety of

financial aid to students who may encounter difficulty in meeting

financial obligations while pursuing their education. Major types

of aid include the Federal Pell Grant, State of Illinois Monetary

Award Program (MAP), Federal Direct Loan Program, Federal

Work Study Grant, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity

Grant (FSEOG), and scholarships.

To apply and to be considered for financial aid you must:

• Complete the ICC Admissions Application. The application

can be completed by visiting icc.edu/admissions and select,

“Apply Now”.

• Submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

You must enter ICC’s school code #006753 for your information

to be processed by ICC. The FAFSA can be submitted electron-

ically with the government at fafsa.ed.gov. The ICC Financial

Assistance staff is able to provide assistance with completing

the FAFSA. Please visit the Financial Assistance Office, Room

L209, or call (309) 694-5311 or email financialaid@icc.edu for

assistance.

• Have enrolled or have been accepted to enroll in a program of

study requiring 16 credit hours or more.

• Are in compliance with the Satisfactory Academic Progress

Standards (SAP) prior to and following receipt of financial aid.

All students applying for aid must meet GPA (cumulative 2.0)

and completion rate (cumulative 67%) requirements. In addi-

tion, the student must not have attempted the maximum hours

allowed for the program. In general, this requirement is 1.5

times the number of hours required to complete the program.

Students not meeting SAP standards will be notified in writing

through their student email account. Students may be reinstated

for financial aid once they meet SAP requirements. Students

may appeal their loss of aid eligibility if extenuating circum-

stances exist. For a detailed explanation of SAP, please visit

icc.edu/students/financial-aid/ eligibility. PLEASE NOTE: By law,

all coursework on a student’s transcript must be reviewed for

purposes of determining SAP, even if previous hours attempted

were not paid by Federal Student Aid.

• If additional information is requested by ICC, you will receive

the request through your ICC student email account. All

requested documentation, must be received as soon as

possible. Your FAFSA will not be processed until all docu-

mentation is received.

• If you are requesting student loans, you must submit all paper-

work required. Visit icc.edu/students/financial-aid/types-of-finan

cial-aid-available for a list of documents required for the loan

application.

Students are encouraged to complete the FAFSA form as soon as

possible after October 1 of each year. Applications are accepted

throughout the year. However, completed applications received

by June 1 of each year are given priority status when determining

eligibility for limited funded grants such as FSEOG and Federal

Work Study.

RETURN OF FINANCIAL AID FUNDS

Financial aid funds are awarded to a student under the assump-

tion that the student will attend school for the entire period for

which the financial aid is awarded. Students should understand

that changing their class schedule anytime during the semester

may alter the amount of financial aid they are eligible to receive.

If a student falls below 6 credit hours and has a student loan, the

student may no longer be eligible to receive the loan.

If a student withdraws from all classes, the student may not

have earned all of the aid they were awarded. A Return to Title IV

calculation must be done to determine the amount of earned and

unearned aid the student has for the semester. If it is calculated

that a student was disbursed more funds than were earned, the

unearned funds must be returned back to the Federal Student

Aid programs.

If it is found that the student owes part of all of their financial aid

back to the U.S. Department of Education, ICC will return the funds

and the student will owe ICC. This balance must be paid before

future enrollments are allowed. The student will be notified of any

Return to Title IV obligations.

FINANCIAL AID OVERPAYMENT

A financial aid overpayment occurs when a student has been

disbursed more aid than they are eligible to receive. This typically

happens when a student changes their enrollment level by drop-

ping classes before the refund dated listed on their class schedule

AFTER they have already been disbursed their financial aid.

If an overpayment situation occurs, the student will be notified

alerting them to the situation and steps to be taken to resolve

the situation. If the overpayment is not resolved, and the Title IV

funds are not repaid by the student, the institution will transfer the

overpayment to the U.S. Department of Education. Owing an

overpayment of a federal grant or loan will prevent the student

from qualifying for future financial aid at an academic institution.

PURCHASING TEXTBOOKS WITH FINANCIAL AID

Eligible enrolled students, whose grant, loan and/or scholarship

funds exceed the outstanding charges on their student account,

may be eligible to use a bookstore charge to purchase books and

supplies against their pending financial aid. These charges are

automatically set up for Pell eligible, and loan eligible, students to

use at the bookstore two weeks prior to the start of the semester

for fall and spring semesters. Bookstore charges close the third

Wednesday of the fall and spring semester. All charges made by

the student will be posted to their ICC student account and will

remain as an outstanding balance owed until the financial aid

funds are received by ICC.

Books and supplies required for classes must be purchased before

any other bookstore items such as electronics and clothing can

be purchased.

It is important that you have finalized your enrollment and have

submitted all requested financial aid documents to ensure an

accurate bookstore charge is set up in a timely manner for your

use in the bookstore. If you do not have all requested items

submitted to the financial aid office, you will not be eligible for

a bookstore charge.

REMEDIAL COURSEWORK

By law, federal student aid funds can be used to pay up to 30

credit hours of remedial coursework. If the student has reached

the maximum hours allowed, the student is notified prior to

disbursement for the semester. Once the maximum number of

remedial hours have been taken, the financial aid award is deter-

mined by subtracting the remedial hours from the total hours

attempted for the current semester. The award is then calculated

based on the remaining hours on the student class schedule.

RETAKING COURSEWORK

By law, federal student aid funds can be used for one retake of a

previously passed course. This applies when the original attempt

of the course was paid for by financial aid. Federal student aid

regulations state a passing grade for purposes of this law is any

grade higher than an “F”, regardless of any school or program pol-

icy requiring a higher qualitative grade for determination of passing

the course. If a student withdraws before completing the course

that they are being paid financial aid for retaking, then that is not

counted as their one allowed retake for that course.

PELL GRANT LIFETIME ELIGIBILITY LIMITS

A student’s maximum duration of Pell grant eligibility is six full year

academic awards. For term based schools, such as ICC, this is

equal to twelve semesters of payment at full time enrollment in

each of those semesters. For example, if a student is enrolled

full time for the semester and receives the Pell grant at full-time

status, the student is using 50% of an academic year award.

However, if the same student is enrolled at a half-time status for

the semester, the student is only using 25% of an academic year

award. If a student is close to reaching the lifetime eligibility limit

and has applied for financial aid the student will be notified by the

U.S. Department of Education.

STUDENT LOAN INFORMATION

Students must be enrolled in an eligible program leading to a

certificate or degree and be registered for at least six eligible

credit hours to borrow a Federal Direct Loan for any semester

of attendance. Students in default on student loans are not eligible

for student loans or any financial aid in the future until the default

is resolved.

Loans will be certified for the amount requested or for the

amount you are eligible, if less than the requested amount. If you

are enrolled in less than 12 credit hours, your cost of attendance

is adjusted to reflect the actual number of credit hours enrolled

and your loan award will be recalculated. Any change in enrollment

status after your loan is certified by ICC may require additional

Financial Information

recalculation and revision of your original loan amount. If you

submit a loan application prior to the tuition due date and you are

determined eligible for the loan, you will be held in your classes.

Loan disbursements are completed in two payments during the

loan period. If the student has requested a two semester loan

(i.e. fall and spring loan), the student will receive one disbursement

in each of the semesters. If the student has requested a one

semester loan (i.e. fall only loan), the student will receive two

disbursements in the semester. The second half of the disburse-

ment is processed the week after midterm break. If the student’s

enrollment level changes prior to the second disbursement, the

loan amount may change. Per federal regulation, disbursements

for first time loan borrowers are not processed until 30 days after

the start of the semester (approximately the 5th week of the

academic semester).

Situations that may delay or cancel your student loan:

• Enrollment in second 8-week classes may delay your loan

disbursement until all classes start.

• Change in your enrollment status may require a recalculation

of your loan eligibility.

• If your enrollment drops below six credit hours, any loan funds

that have not been disbursed will be cancelled.

STUDENT LOAN DEFAULT

Student loan default, or not repaying your student loan debt,

carries serious consequences. When taking out a student loan,

you want to exhaust all other possible funding methods and

borrow conservatively. Student that do not repay their student

loans become ineligible for any financial aid and loans in the

future. Defaulted loans can prevent students from renewing profes-

sional licenses. The federal government can collect on defaulted

loans by confiscating federal tax refunds and garnishing wages.

It is the student’s responsibility to always stay in contact with

the loan servicer to stay current with address and enrollment

information to help avoid default.

If you and your loan servicer disagree about the balance or status of

your student loan and you have done everything you can to resolve

the issue, you can contact the Federal Student Aid Ombudsman

Group. They can help you find some resolution to the matter.

DIRECT PLUS LOANS

Parents of dependent undergraduate students may borrow this

loan on the student’s behalf. Students must be enrolled at least

half-time (6 credit hours) at ICC. Financial need is not required,

but the loan is limited to the school’s cost of attendance, which

varies depending on the number of credit hours enrolled, minus

other aid the student is receiving. FAFSA filing is required and

parents must not have an adverse credit history.

Direct PLUS loan repayment begins on the date the loan is fully

disbursed. Payments may be deferred while the dependent stu-

dent is enrolled at least half-time. A parent borrower who is also

a student may defer repayment while he or she is enrolled at least

half-time. Deferments must be requested by contacting the

agency that services the loan.

Parents may apply for a PLUS loan after the student receives a

financial aid award letter from ICC. The PLUS loan application

and instructions are located at icc.edu/students/financial-aid/forms.

SUBSIDIZED LOAN LIMIT

Effective July 1, 2013, first time borrowers lose eligibility for addi-

tional subsidized loans when the student has received subsidized

loans for 150% of their current academic program. In addition,

students that continue enrollment beyond 150% of their published

program length will lose the interest subsidy on prior subsidized

loans received that have an outstanding or unpaid balance. First

time borrowers are defined as students that have never received a

student loan or students that have paid previously borrowed loans

in full and are borrowing after July 1, 2013. Generally, the 150% is

measured in time, not dollars, based on the published length of

the program. Students who lose eligibility for subsidized loans are

still eligible for unsubsidized loans.

Catalog of Record

For any degree or certificate, students have five (5) years from the

date they declare a program of study to complete the program

requirements outlined in that specific catalog. Should appreciable

changes to the degree or certificate requirements occur, students

will need to meet the degree or certificate requirements in the

current catalog at time of application for graduation. Students who

have not met the degree or certificate requirements within five years

will need to meet the requirements in effect at that time of applica-

tion for graduation. A student who has not been enrolled for three

consecutive semesters, excluding summer, must meet the catalog

requirements in effect upon re-entry. Illinois Central College will con-

sider granting permission to a graduate under a catalog more than

five years old if the student has been enrolled continuously and the

degree or certificate requirements have not changed appreciably.

Requests for this exception should be directed to the dean/associate

dean of the department for approval.

Credit Hour

Illinois Central College defines a credit hour as an amount of work

represented in goals or intended learning outcomes, and verified

by evidence of student achievement, that reasonably approximates

not less than 50 minutes of classroom or direct faculty instruction

and a minimum of two hours of out-of-class student work each

week for approximately 16 weeks for each credit hour earned.

Multiple Associate Degrees/Certificates

Although a student may earn multiple Associate in Applied

Science degrees and/or Certificates, he/she may earn only

one of each of the following degrees:

• Associate in Arts (AA)

• Associate in Science (AS)

• Associate in Engineering Science (AES)

• Associate in General Studies (AGS)

A student may not earn:

An Associate in Arts (AA) degree after earning an Associate in

Arts and Science degree (offered at ICC prior to 2010); or

An Associate in General Studies (AGS) degree after earning any

other degree.

Educational Rights and Responsibilities

Students have the same rights accorded all citizens, including the

right to free, open, and responsible discussion and inquiry, and

the right to a quality education in a program of study provided by

competent instructors. It is the right of each student at Illinois

Central College to:

• study any controversial issue with political, economic, or social

significance and concern

• have free access to all relevant information, including materials

which circulate freely in the community

• study under competent instructors in a healthy, responsive

atmosphere free of bias and prejudice

• form and express personal opinions on controversial issues

without jeopardizing their relationship with instructors or the

College

• be treated fairly and with full respect

• be accorded the best efforts of instructors, including access

through regular office hours.

In return, students are expected to conduct themselves as

responsible members of the academic community. Disruption

of the educational process and violation of the rights of others

constitutes irresponsible behavior. Faculty members reserve the

right to establish a classroom environment that is conducive to

learning and equitable to all.

Specific responsibilities of Illinois Central College students include:

• attending classes regularly and explaining reasons for absences

to instructors

• intelligent care of equipment and facilities used

• abiding by the expectations established in the course syllabus

• actions characterized by honesty

• refraining from:

– giving false or misleading information to any College official or

tampering with any College record

– possessing or taking any narcotic, stimulant, or drug except as

prescribed by a physician

– giving, exchanging, or selling any drug to another person

– possessing or consuming any alcoholic beverage on campus

– giving, exchanging, or selling such beverages to another

– using the College name or emblem in an unauthorized or

unseemly manner.

Contrary actions such as plagiarism or giving unauthorized help on

examinations, may result in disciplinary action ranging from a failing

grade for the assignment or exam to dismissal from the College.

For more information see “Academic Misconduct” page 34.

Students are responsible for knowing and abiding by all College

regulations, together with federal, state, and local laws. These are

enforced by appropriate civil, state, or College authorities. If students

are in doubt about any particular matter, they should consult the Vice

President of Student Services, East Peoria Campus, Room L432.

Educational Guarantees

Illinois Central College guarantees the mastery of entry-level

technical skills in Associate in Applied Science Degree and

Occupational Certificate programs, and guarantees the transfer

of courses toward the credit-hour requirements for a bachelor

degree at a four-year institution. If judged by an employer to be

lacking in technical skills, a graduate shall be provided a maximum

of nine credit hours of additional skill training at Illinois Central

College without tuition charge. If a course does not fulfill the

transfer guarantee, the student may receive either a tuition refund

for that course, or tuition-free enrollment in a course to correct

the deficiency. This policy became effective for students enrolling

in the fall of 1993 and subsequent semesters. Although tuition for

approved courses will be waived, the student is responsible for

any other costs associated with taking the courses. Listed below

are the conditions for these guarantees. Contact the Academic

Affairs Office, (309) 694-5784 or academicaffairs@icc.edu for

more information.

Guarantee of Technical Competence

1. The student must be employed full time in a job directly related

to his or her program of study within one year of graduation

from the approved ICC program.

2. The employer must verify in writing within 90 days of the graduate’s

initial employment that the graduate lacks competency in specific

technical skills as represented in the degree description and

course syllabi.

Academic Policies and Procedures

ILLINOIS CENTRAL COLLEGE COLLEGE CATALOG 2017-2018

31

3. The student must have graduated within five (5) years of initial

enrollment in the program.

4. Prerequisites and other admission requirements for retraining

courses must be met and are not included in the courses

covered by this guarantee.

5. All retraining must be completed within two (2) calendar years

after the claim is made.

6. The retraining will be limited to courses regularly offered by the

College.

7. A written retraining plan must be developed by the employer,

the graduate, and the appropriate instructional administrator,

specifying the courses needed for retraining and the competencies

to be mastered.

8. This guarantee does not imply that the graduate will pass any

national, regional, and state board licensing or qualifying examin-

ation for a particular career.

Guarantee of Credit Transfer

1. During each semester at Illinois Central College, the student

must meet with his/her assigned advisor to plan an appropriate

course of study, based upon the requirements of the institution

to which the student intends to transfer. Registration cards must

be signed by the student’s assigned advisor.

2. For the guarantee to be in effect, the student must receive an

Associate in Arts Degree or an Associate in Science Degree

from Illinois Central College.

3. Only courses designated “Transfer Credit” in the Illinois Central

College Catalog are covered by the guarantee.

4. Within one year of graduation from Illinois Central College, the

student must notify the Academic Affairs office, in writing, of

the courses that did not properly transfer. Upon notification,

Illinois Central College has up to 90 days to investigate and to

resolve the problem with the transfer institution. After the 90

days, the College will provide a refund of the monies paid for

tuition and any lab fees for courses which did not transfer, or

tuition-free enrollment in courses to correct the deficiency if

such courses are available. The choice between the refund or

the tuition-free enrollment is the student’s.

Grading System

Illinois Central College uses the following letter grades, definitions

and grade point equivalent as its official grading system.

Grade Points

Grade Definition Per Credit Hour

A Superior 4.00

B Good 3.00

C Average 2.00

D Poor 1.00

F Failing 0.00

FA Attendance Failing 0.00

WF Withdrawal Failing 0.00

FX Grade Excluded No grade point

I Incomplete No grade point

S Successful No grade point

U Unsuccessful No grade point

W Withdrawal No grade point

NG No Grade No grade point

NR Not reported by instructor No grade point

FA The student has attended through the midterm of the class then

ceases to attend for the duration of the term. The FA grade factors

into the grade point average as a failing grade. To avoid the FA

grade, students must officially withdraw.

WF Awarded to student who, without instructor approval, voluntarily

withdraws from a class after the last day to withdraw without

penalty. This grade will factor into the student’s GPA as a grade

of “F”.

FX The student has met the requirements for grade exclusion. The

grades with FX do not factor into the ICC grade point average. For

complete details see the section on the Grade Exclusion Policy.

I Indicates the student has not completed requirements for the

course. No grade points or credit hours will be given in a course

for which the I grade was given. The student must complete all

requirements for each course in which an incomplete grade has

been received 90 days after final grades have been posted for

that class(es); otherwise, the grade will be changed by Enrollment

Services to an F. When the student has completed the require-

ments for a course within the allotted time, the incomplete grade

will be changed on the permanent record to the appropriate

letter-grade.

Incomplete grades are given, by arrangement with the instructor,

only when fully justified by serious circumstances (e.g., illness,

accident, death or illness in the immediate family). Incomplete

grades are not given for such reasons as unjustified failure to

complete the required work by the end of the semester or failure

to appear for the final examination.

S Used in courses numbered 001-039 or with a GEDPR or ESL

prefix (except ESL 106). Indicates the student has fulfilled

requirements as established for an individual course, but is not

used in computing the student’s GPA or college credit hours.

U Used in courses numbered 001-039 or with a GEDPR or ESL

prefix (except ESL 106). Indicates the student has not fulfilled

requirements as established for an individual course, and is not

used in computing the student’s GPA or college credit hours.

NG Indicates a Community Education non-credit activity which does

not receive a grade or earn grade points.

NR No grade reported by instructor.

Grade Point Average (GPA)

An important average for all students is their grade point average

(GPA) which serves as a measure of academic achievement.

The number of grade points earned in a given course is calculated

by multiplying the number of points assigned to the specific letter

grade received in the class by the number of credit hours the course

carries. Thus, a grade of B (3.00 grade points) in a course worth

four credit hours would earn the student 12 (3 x 4) grade points.

A student’s GPA for a given semester is computed by dividing the

total number of credit hours attempted into the total number of

grade points earned. The division is carried out three places

to the right of the decimal point. An example is shown below:

Course Credit Hours Letter Grade Points Earned

ENGL 110 3 B 9

PSY 110 3 C 6

BIOL 111 4 A 16

PHYED 130 1 B 3

HIST 111 4 B 12

Total 15 46

GPA = 46 divided by 15 = 3.066

Grade point averages are calculated at the conclusion of each

semester. Courses with grades S, U, W, NG, and CR are not

considered part of the total hours attempted for purposes of

determining a student’s GPA, but these grades are recorded on

the student’s academic record.

A SEMESTER GPA represents the average of grades for one

semester, and a CUMULATIVE GPA reflects the average of grades

for all courses taken at Illinois Central College. If courses taken at

Illinois Central College are retaken at this institution according to

specified retake procedures, both grades appear on the transcript

but only the higher grade will be included in the GPA computation.

Questions regarding GPA should be referred to Enrollment Services

at the East Peoria Campus, L211, (309) 694-5581.

THIS POLICY DOES NOT PRECLUDE

ADMISSION/RE-ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

IN OTHER COLLEGE ACADEMIC PROGRAMS.

Class Attendance

Regular attendance at all class meetings and laboratory sessions

or active participation in online classes is expected of all students.

Faculty members may establish attendance policies and/or makeup

procedures for their classes. Faculty will ordinarily permit students

to make up work missed due to College sponsored activities, if

prior notification of absence is given.

Some programs have established rigid attendance policies. For

example, most health careers programs have exacting attendance

policies, especially for clinical assignments. These are explained

in materials distributed to program enrollees. It is the student’s

responsibility to be aware of attendance and participation policies

and makeup procedures.

Excessive absence and lack of participation are among the most

common causes of failing grades. As a College guideline, absences

in excess of five (5) percent of total number of scheduled class

meetings are considered excessive. For example, three absences

in a class which meets twice per week would be considered

excessive since these absences represent more than five (5) percent

of the class meetings.

In case of prolonged absences because of illness, accident,

hospitalization, or family problems, students should notify the Vice

President of Student Services Office or the Health Services Office

so proper notification can be made to instructors. In addition, it is

the responsibility of the student to contact the instructor about

possible makeup work.

Audit of Courses

Many courses at ICC may be audited. A student that audits a course

is a non-participating listener in a course and is not required to take

tests or complete assignments. The student receives no grade or

notation on a transcript relative to the audited course.

Registration for audit classes will be accepted beginning the week

the class is scheduled to begin, provided space is available in the

class.

Tuition for auditing a class will be the in-district rate.

Further information about which courses may be audited and

procedures for registering may be obtained from departmental

offices.

A student may not change class registration status from “audit” to

“credit” or from “credit” to “audit”.

Retaking Classes

Students may retake a class attempted at this institution for which

they received a grade. Retaking of program specific courses may

require department approval prior to the student continuing in

program of study. If a student retakes a class, all grades will remain

on the transcript, but only the highest grade will be calculated in the

Illinois Central College cumulative grade point average. Students

receiving financial assistance should refer to the Retaking Course-

work section on page 26 to determine how retakes will affect their

eligibility. Questions regarding retaking classes should be directed

to Enrollment Services, East Peoria Campus, L211.

Note: Students planning to transfer to another college are

cautioned that many colleges include all grades earned to

compute the transfer cumulative grade point average.

Repeatable Classes

Classes that are approved as repeatable for credit are marked

as such in the “Course Descriptions” area of the Catalog. These

classes are each listed individually on the official transcript with

all credit hours counting towards graduation and being calculated

into the Illinois Central College cumulative grade point average.

Grade Appeal Process

(Approved May, 2015)

The Grade Appeal Process is designed to provide students and

faculty with a fair and structured process to review a grade issue

or discrepancy. Only final course grades may be appealed through

this process.

The process, in brief, is explained in these steps:

Informal Appeal

1. Student must identify a grade issue/discrepancy and contact

the instructor (in person or by email) to discuss the issue and

a possible resolution. The contact must be within 15 business

days from the scheduled course final exam date.

2. If the student does not receive a response from the faculty

member within 10 business days, the student should contact

the Department Dean/Associate Dean. The Dean/Associate

Dean will notify the instructor of the grade issue.

3. The student and instructor may schedule a time to meet to

discuss the grade issue or correspond by email or phone to

determine if the issue can be resolved informally.

If the issue is not resolved through this process, the student can

request a formal review. A student must complete the informal

appeal process before moving to the formal process. If an extenu-

ating circumstance exists that prevents this informal process, the

student must contact the department dean/associate dean or the

Vice President of Student Services.

Formal Appeal

A student must complete the informal appeal process before

moving to the formal process.

1. The student must request a Grade Appeal form from the Vice

President of Student Services (VPSS) office (East Peoria

Campus - L432.) The student must submit the Grade Appeal

form, along with supplemental evidence to support the appeal.

The form and supporting documents must be submitted to the

Academic Department Office within five (5) business days

(except in extraordinary circumstances) of the completion of

the informal process.

a. Upon receipt of the completed Grade Appeal form and

supporting evidence, the academic department will schedule

Academic Policies and Procedures

ILLINOIS CENTRAL COLLEGE COLLEGE CATALOG 2017-2018

33

a meeting between the student, the course instructor and the

department dean/associate dean. The dean/associate

dean will serve as the mediator for the meeting.

b. In situations involving an objection to a face-to-face meeting,

the student or instructor can request to meet separately with

the department dean/associate dean.

c. The department dean/associate dean will provide written

notice of the resolution to both the student and instructor, via

ICC email, within three (3) business days of the meeting.

2. If the issue is not resolved through step 4, the student may

request a formal review by the Grade Appeal committee.

a. Within five (5) business days of receipt of the emailed resolution

from department dean/associate dean, the request for the

grade appeal review must be made through the Vice President

of Student Services.

b. The Vice President of Student Services will notify the

co-chairs of the Academic Standards Committee to convene

the formal review by the Grade Appeal Committee.

c. The student and the faculty member are encouraged to pro-

vide a written summary and documented evidence supporting

his or her position to the contact person above a minimum of

two (2) business days in advance of the scheduled date of

the Grade Appeal Committee. Only written materials submitted

in advance will be considered by the Grade Appeal Committee.

3. The Grade Appeal Committee is comprised of a subset of

members from the Academic Standards committee. The Grade

Appeal Committee will include a minimum of one (1) administra-

tor and two (2) faculty members, with at least one faculty from

the academic department from which the appeal originated. In the

event an available academic department representative is not

available, a designee from the Faculty Senate can be appointed.

4. The Grade Appeal Committee will review the documentation

and make a determination regarding the appeal. The Grade

Appeal Committee may request additional information as

needed. The decision of this committee is final.

Grade Exclusion Policy

The grade exclusion policy at Illinois Central College provides a

second chance for academic success to students who have failed

courses that otherwise may make it difficult or impossible for them

to pursue a degree or certificate.

In order to qualify for grade exclusion:

1. The student cannot have enrolled in graded, college-level courses

at Illinois Central College or any other post-secondary education

institution for four (4) consecutive semesters prior to application

for grade exclusion (summer terms do not apply.) A student may

apply at any time for exclusion after this time requirement has

been met.

2. The student’s cumulative grade point average must be less

than 2.000 at the time of re-admission to the College.

3. Following re-admission, the student must complete a minimum

of 15 approved consecutive credit hours in graded college

level courses (110 or above) with no grades of “D” or “F” or a

GPA of at least 2.000 in each semester in which the 15 hours

are attempted before exclusion will be granted.

Grade exclusion will only be granted once. A maximum of 16

hours of “F” grades earned in graded college level courses at

Illinois Central College will be excluded.

To qualify for grade exclusion, the student is required to meet

with a designated academic advisor.

When eligibility requirements have been fulfilled and exclusion

granted, the student’s cumulative grade point average will be

recalculated with “F” grades removed from the calculation.

However, all grades, including those excluded, will continue to

appear on the ICC academic transcript and will be counted as

attempted hours for Financial Aid purposes. Students who plan to

transfer to another institution should be aware that the receiving

institution may use all of the grades that are excluded by ICC for

calculation of the grade point average for admission review.

(Note: Excluded grades will be indicated by an FX.)

Application forms for grade exclusion may be obtained and

submitted to any Enrollment Services office. All graduation items

are processed through the East Peoria Enrollment Services office,

L211, East Peoria Campus.

THIS POLICY DOES NOT PRECLUDE

ADMISSION/RE-ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

IN OTHER COLLEGE ACADEMIC PROGRAMS.

Academic Honors

Full-time students who have completed 12 credit hours and have

achieved a 4.00 grade point average (GPA) in a given semester

are named to the President’s List; those earning between 3.50

and 3.99 grade point averages are named to the Dean’s List.

Part-time students who have completed 12 credit hours and are

enrolled in no fewer than 6 hours are eligible for the President’s

List if they have achieved a 4.00 GPA and Dean’s List recognition

if the earned GPA is between 3.50 and 3.99.

Students will be accorded honors at the point of graduation* as

follows:

• Certificate Honors: Students who earn a GPA of 3.5 or higher

in certificates with 24 or more hours

• Degree Honors: Students who earn a degree have three levels

of honors

Highest Honors: GPA of 4.0

High Honors: GPA of 3.75-3.99

Honors: GPA of 3.5-3.74

These honors will be noted on the academic transcript and on the

diploma for all students graduating who have reached this criteria.

These honors may also be recognized at commencement.

*Since final grades are not posted to student records until after the

*graduation ceremony, the previous semester’s cumulative GPA may

*be used as the basis for special recognition at commencement.

Academic Standards

It is the purpose of Illinois Central College to provide educational

opportunities to those who can benefit from continued educational

experience; therefore, the following retention policies and

processes are provided. Illinois Central College recognizes some

students may have deficiencies in certain areas of preparation.

As such, the College believes students who have been placed on

academic caution, pre-suspension or suspension should be made

aware of the consequences of these statuses and the resources

available for the detection and possible correction of academic

deficiencies. If at any time a student raises their cumulative GPA

to a 2.000, they will be removed from the process and return to

Academic Good Standing.

Academic Caution

The purpose of academic caution is to alert students that their

grades do not meet minimum requirements. A second and equally

important purpose is to provide students an opportunity to plan

corrective actions, which will hopefully lead to a more successful

academic career. Information regarding academic advisement

services is available in the Advisement and Counseling Services

Office, located in the Leitch Career Center. Students on Academic

Caution are restricted to a maximum enrollment of 13.99 credit

hours. If a student’s cumulative grade point average does not

raise above a 2.000 within one semester, the student will be

placed on academic pre-suspension.

Academic Pre-Suspension

Students on Academic Pre-suspension are restricted to a maxi-

mum enrollment of 7.99 credit hours. If a student on Academic

Pre-suspension fails to meet the grade point standards after the

above measures have been completed, the student will be placed

on Academic Suspension.

Academic Suspension

A student that fails to meet the 2.000 grade point average after

three (3) consecutive semesters will be placed on Academic

Suspension from the College for one (1) semester. A student on

suspension may re-enter after one (1) semester, but are required

to meet with an academic advisor prior to registration. A sus-

pended student re-admitted to the College must have a semester

grade point average above a 2.000 to be allowed to enroll in the

next semester. Students on Academic Suspension are restricted

to a maximum enrollment of 6.99 credit hours.

Readmission

• If a suspended student is re-admitted to the College and their

semester grade point average fails to meet the 2.000 require-

ment, the student will be suspended from Illinois Central

College for one academic year.

• If a student does not enroll for 5 or more years they may appeal

through the Dean of Students office to enroll in additional credit

hours, regardless of their Academic Standing.

Intercollegiate Competition

A student is eligible to participate in a particular intercollegiate

competition for a maximum of four (4) semesters providing he/she

is in good academic standing. A student may not participate during

any period when he/she is not in good academic standing, even if

he/she meets the NJCAA eligibility requirements, unless approval

is granted by the Vice President of Student Services. The minimum

number of credit hours in which a student must be enrolled is

determined by the organization governing the competition.

Academic Misconduct

Matters relating to academic honesty or contrary action such as

cheating, plagiarism, or giving unauthorized help on examinations

or assignments may result in an instructor giving a student a failing

grade for the assignment, test, or for the course.

Based on the severity of the offense, the instructor may recommend

failure for an assignment or failure for the course. Multiple instances

of academic misconduct could include sanctions up to dismissal

from the College.

A common form of academic dishonesty is plagiarism. This is

the use (whether deliberate or unintentional) of an idea or phrase

from another source without proper acknowledgment of that

source. The risk of plagiarism can be avoided in written work by

clearly indicating, either in footnotes or in the paper itself, the

source of any other major or unique idea which the student could

not or did not arrive at independently. These precise indications

of sources must be given regardless of whether the material is

quoted directly or paraphrased. Direct quotations, however brief,

must be enclosed in quotation marks as well as being properly

documented.

Another form of plagiarism is copying or obtaining information

from another student. Submission of written work, such as

laboratory reports, computer programs, or papers which have

been copied from the work of other students, with or without

their knowledge and consent, is plagiarism.

Obtaining an examination prior to its administration or use of

unauthorized aides during the examination are clear acts of aca-

demic dishonesty. It is also academically dishonest to knowingly

aid another student in performing an act of academic dishonesty.

Thus, in cases of inappropriate collusion on academic work, the

provider of inappropriately used material is guilty of academic

dishonesty, as well as the actual perpetrator.

Listed below are examples which may involve confusion on the

student’s part, especially freshmen who are accustomed to work-

ing on projects in laboratories with fellow students in high school.

1. Sharing information in the preparation of a report or paper,

unless approved by instructor.

2. Turning in the same paper for two different courses with slight

modification.

3. The illegitimate uses of written material such as laboratory

reports and computer programs or the obtaining of information

from other students while an examination is in progress.

In brief, any act which represents work not one’s own as one’s

own is an academically dishonest act.

If a student is ever in doubt about an issue of academic dishonesty,

or has any hesitation about a contemplated course of action, the

student should consult his or her instructors. The penalties for

academic dishonesty can be very severe and can affect the entire

educational experience at Illinois Central College.

PROCEDURES FOR ADDRESSING

ACADEMIC MISCONDUCT

In cases where Academic Misconduct is suspected by an instructor

or reported by another individual, the faculty member will gather

the evidence and inform the dean/associate dean/program director.

Step 1: Faculty-Student Conference

The faculty member will inform the student privately of his/her

findings and attempt a resolution of the problem. The associate

dean, teaching chair, program director, or designee may be

present in this conference if necessary. If the student refuses to

attend the conference, the student may forfeit the opportunity for

an appeal. Depending on the nature of the situation and the docu-

mented proof available, such resolution could include disciplinary

sanctions, a failing grade for the assignment, or a failing grade for

the course. The faculty member will provide the student the oppor-

tunity to address the findings. The faculty member will notify the

student of his/her decision and will file the Academic Misconduct

forms with the respective division and the Vice President of

Student Services office.

Step 2: Appeal Process

If a student is not satisfied with the instructor’s decision, he/she

may contact the dean of the department within 10 business days

of the decision. The dean will review the information and will meet

with the faculty member and then with the student to attempt to

resolve the issue. If the student is not satisfied with the result of

Academic Policies and Procedures

ILLINOIS CENTRAL COLLEGE COLLEGE CATALOG 2017-2018

35

the appeal, he/she may petition the Academic Standards Com-

mittee for a review of the case. This appeal must be requested

through the Vice President of Student Services Office in writing

within 10 business days of the appeal decision from the dean.

The decision of the Academic Standards Committee is final.

Step 3: Documentation of the Incident

All cases of academic misconduct are noted in a student’s

disciplinary file. This information is released in accordance with

the Federal Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and is

not noted on the academic transcript. In situations where a

second Academic Misconduct report is filed, the student will be

charged with an alleged violation of the Student Code of Conduct.

Code of Conduct violations are addressed through the Dean

of Students and could include sanctions up to and including

expulsion from the College.

Additional Information:

Students who are given a failure on an assignment for Academic

Misconduct will not be allowed to withdraw from that course

without instructor permission. Students who are given a failure

from the course for Academic Misconduct will not be allowed to

withdraw from the course. Illinois Central College reserves the

right to reinstate any individuals who are withdrawn in these

situations.

Degrees

ASSOCIATE IN APPLIED SCIENCE

is a career-oriented degree

preparing students for immediate employment and is awarded in

a specific program of study. Although not designed as a transfer

degree, some courses may fulfill Illinois Articulation Initiative’s

general education requirements, and some courses may transfer

to four-year colleges and universities. Students should consult

their departmental advisor for more information on these courses.

ASSOCIATE IN GENERAL STUDIES DEGREE

allows individuals

interested in acquiring a broad range of academic courses to suit

their specific needs. While it is not designed as a transfer degree,

some coursework may fulfill Illinois Articulation Initiative general

requirements or transfer to a four-year college or university.

Students who choose this option should work closely with their

advisors to determine whether this option meets current and

future needs.

ASSOCIATE IN ARTS DEGREE

is a baccalaureate-oriented

transfer degree focused in the arts, humanities, social sciences,

behavioral sciences, or professional fields with these study areas

as a foundation. Degree completion may qualify the individual for

junior standing at many four-year colleges and universities. ICC’s

Associate in Arts degree fulfills the Illinois Articulation Initiative’s

general education requirements. (For more information on the

Illinois Articulation Initiative, see page 166.)

ASSOCIATE IN SCIENCE DEGREE

is a baccalaureate-oriented

transfer degree focused in life or physical sciences, or professional

fields with these study areas as a foundation. Degree completion

may qualify the individual for junior standing at many four-year

colleges and universities. Students who complete the Associate

in Science degree at ICC will need to complete additional require-

ments at ICC or the transfer institution in order to complete the

Illinois Articulation Initiative’s general education requirements (For

more information on the Illinois Articulation Initiative, see page 166.)

ASSOCIATE IN ENGINEERING SCIENCE DEGREE

is a

baccalaureate-oriented degree for students pursuing engineering.

This degree does not fulfill all Illinois Articulation Initiative general

education requirements. The AES provides students with a

greater number of credit hours in mathematics and sciences

early in their academic career, which is the preferred course

sequence for some colleges and universities. Students completing

this degree may be expected to take additional general education

requirements at their transfer schools. Students who choose this

option should work closely with their Engineering advisor to

assure a smooth transition from ICC to a four-year engineering

program.

Developmental Coursework

Developmental courses are designed to provide students with

the basic skills needed to achieve success in college-level

courses. Bsed on placement testing scores, student will be

advised as to the most appropriate sequence of classes to attain

their educational goals. Although students receive grades for

developmental courses, those courses do not apply towards a

degree or certificate. For information related to developmental

coursework and Financial Assistance, refer to the Remedial

Coursework section of the catalog.

Degree Specific Admission Requirements

Illinois Central College maintains an open-door, open-access

policy with regard to general admission to the College. Although

selected programs have established, and maintained, specific

admission requirements, applicants will be admitted to the general

programs of the College. Placement tests and academic advise-

ment will be utilized to determine the appropriate courses in which

students should enroll.

ASSOCIATE IN ARTS DEGREE

ASSOCIATE IN SCIENCE DEGREE

ASSOCIATE IN ENGINEERING SCIENCE DEGREE

All new full-time applicants who intend to enroll in the Associate in

Arts Degree program, Associate in Science Degree program, or in

the Associate in Engineering Science Degree program (the usual

course of study for baccalaureate/transfer students planning to

seek a bachelor degree) must submit not only an application but

also high school transcripts (or GED scores) and ACT/SAT scores.

As a result of minimum standards established by the Illinois Board

of Higher Education and Public Act 86-0954, it is recommended

that applicants for the Associate in Arts Degree or Associate in

Science Degree successfully complete at least 15 units of high

school coursework from the following categories:

• 4years of English, emphasizing written and oral communication

and literature

• 3 years of college preparatory mathematics, including intro-

ductory through advanced algebra, geometry, or fundamentals

of computer programming

• 2 years of social science

• 2 years of laboratory science

• 2 years of one foreign language, fine arts (art, music,

theatre, or dance), or vocational education

• 2 years of elective coursework, including coursework in any of

the categories above (excluding English)

These course-specific requirements are minimums. Some high

school students should include coursework beyond the minimum

in fields they may be considering for advanced study in a college

or university. For example, students who think they want to pursue

a degree in science or mathematics should take additional courses

in mathematics and lab science in high school.

For applicants who do not meet one or more of the course-

specified requirements above, ACT/SAT minimum sub-scores were

established to determine whether high school equivalent knowl-

edge and skills have been acquired: 20 for English, 20 for math,

20 for science, and 20 for social studies (on the reading sub-scores).

Students with a deficiency in one of the high-school-course areas

may also satisfy the requirement by passing a college-level course

in this area with a grade of C or higher, or by passing one of the

following Illinois Central College courses:

English requirement: ENGL 095 or ENGL 099

Math requirement: MAT 098

Science requirement: CHEM 094

ASSOCIATE IN APPLIED SCIENCE DEGREE

OCCUPATIONAL CERTIFICATE

Requirements for admission to programs vary. For information

Career Clusters

Through the program sections of the Catalog,

you’ll see small icons like this

These icons identify the primary career cluster for the program.

Career Clusters were developed to give you the information you

need to decide about a career. A “cluster” describes a group of

careers that have specific knowledge (things you know) and skills

(things you do) in common. At ICC, you’ll find various programs

that prepare you for careers in general areas like finance, health

sciences, information technology, manufacturing or marketing.

Here are the icons and the areas they represent:

Agriculture, Food, & Natural Resources

Architecture & Construction

Arts, Audio/Visual Technology & Communications

Business Management & Administration

Education & Training

Finance

Government & Public Administration

Health Science

Hospitality & Tourism

Human Services

Information Technology

Law, Public Safety, Corrections & Security

Manufacturing

Marketing

Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics

Transportation, Distribution & Logistics

You can use these icons as quick references for programs in the

career area of your interest. For example, if you’re interested in

health careers in general and want to know what your ICC options

are, look for this icon

While Career Clusters give you an idea of how ICC programs fit

into general career areas, you need to know that sometimes your

program can support many Career Clusters. You might choose a

program that has a primary Career Cluster of Information Tech-

nology, but you really want to be a teacher (the Education and

Training Cluster). In this case, you’re really preparing for two of the

career areas! But we’ve kept our coding simple and just provided

the primary career area to avoid confusion. Regardless of how

you want to mix and match these, the best path to the career

you want is to work with your advisor or ICC’s Career Center.

For more information on Career Clusters and how they fit into

the job world, visit: careertech.org.

Associate in Applied Science

Total Credit Hours: 65 to 69

Program Information: The mission of the Associate in Applied

Science Medical Laboratory Technician program is to prepare

its graduates to attain entry-level skills for practice in a clinical

laboratory by providing the resources, curriculum, and clinical

experiences to its students.

Additional Program Info: Under the supervision of Medical

Laboratory Scientists, MLTs perform most of the common labora-

tory tests in a medical laboratory. They examine and analyze body

fluids and cells. They look for bacteria, parasites, and other

microorganisms; analyze the chemical content of fluids; match

blood for transfusion; and test for drug levels in the blood that

show how a patient is responding to treatment. The MLTs use

microscopes, cell counters, and other high-tech, computer-

operated laboratory equipment. After testing and examining the

samples, they analyze the results and relay them to the physicians.

Those test results help doctors determine the right treatments for

patients – and occasionally lead to extraordinary breakthroughs.

Clinical experiences are provided in laboratories in Illinois and

Iowa: American Red Cross, UnityPoint Health-Methodist, Unity-

Point-Proctor, OSF Saint Francis Medical Center, Illinois

CancerCare, and Veterans Administration Clinic, Peoria; Advo-

Transfer Degrees

The Illinois Central College offers a wide variety of courses specif-

ically designed for transfer. The keys to successful transfer are to

start planning immediately and to select coursework carefully. The

Associate of Arts (A.A.), the Associate in Science (A.S.), and the

Associate in Engineering Science (A.E.S.) degrees are intended

for students planning to transfer to a college or university for a

baccalaureate degree. However, since requirements can vary

from one institution to another, it is recommended that students

meet regularly with an academic advisor as well as verify informa-

tion with the transfer institution. Academic advisors are available

to help students develop an individual education plan. Although

Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.) programs are not primarily

designed for transfer to a four-year institution, ICC has established

articulation agreements with a number of colleges and universities

so that many A.A.S. degrees may transfer. Students should consult

an academic advisor or program coordinator regarding the

growing transfer possibilities with the A.A.S. degrees.

ABOUT TRANSFERRING

Students who earn the Associate of Arts or Associate in Science

(A.A. or A.S.) degrees at Illinois Central College before transfer-

ring may be granted junior standing by many baccalaureate

institutions considering the general education requirements are

completed. Transfer students should check early with their transfer

institutions and advisors to ensure they are meeting ALL require-

ments specific to each individual institution. A few colleges/

universities may do a course-by-course examination of work from

Illinois Central College, and could expect students to complete

some general education courses at their institution. Students

should work together with their academic advisors and the Trans-

fer Center along with transfer institutions to build a transfer degree

program appropriate for them. As a general rule, earning an A.A.

or A.S. degree is an excellent strategy for transfer. Students who

decide to transfer to another college in Illinois before they earn

an A.A. or A.S. degree will find that IAI-approved courses will be

accepted by most baccalaureate institutions. Transferring without

completing the general education core curriculum may mean that

students must complete the general education requirements at

the four-year institution.

TRANSFER PLANNING

By carefully constructing an educational plan, students can select

Illinois Central College courses for transfer to a variety of four-year

colleges and universities. When a student has selected a transfer

school, it is important that the student review that institution’s

specific admission and course requirements. Transfer information

can be obtained from their academic advisor and the Transfer

Center or on the Transfer Assistance page on the ICC website

http://icc.edu/students/transfer-assistance/.

TRANSFERRING FROM ILLINOIS CENTRAL COLLEGE

The Transfer Center at Illinois Central College offers information

about transferring to baccalaureate institutions. For successful

transfer, the following checklist is available for all students who

plan to transfer:

1. Choose a Plan of Study (Major)

You can investigate possible career paths in the ICC Career

Center or through labor market information and career interest

surveys.

2. Plan Your ICC Courses

Your academic advisor and/or the Transfer Center, can assist in

course selection. Transfer program course guides available in

various department offices and/or on the college website. Because

transfer requirements change frequently, verify all transfer infor-

mation directly with the college/university.

3. Visit the ICC Transfer Center

Transfer Center has the following available resources: internet

access, college-career search programs, applications, college

catalogs, and more.

To schedule an appointment call (309) 694-5330 or email:

transfercenter@icc.edu

4. Research and Choose a University

Be sure to compare academic programs, entrance requirements,

costs, deadlines for applications and transcript submission, and

housing requirements for each of the possible colleges/universities.

5. Visit Campuses

Try to visit each of the colleges as time and resources permit, try

to envision yourself there. Virtual tours may be available on the

Internet and many college representatives also come to the ICC

campus in October for “Transfer Day / College Night” and through-

out the year.

6. Apply for Admission

Submit your applications (and fees, if needed) to your transfer

institutions of choice.

7. Send Transcripts

Send your academic transcripts (from all colleges you have

attended) and obtain letters of recommendation, if necessary.

8. Secure Financial Aid

Complete the financial aid process by completing the Free

Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) application.

9. Stay in Touch With Your Transfer School

Once you have been accepted, complete the housing process

and register for classes as soon as possible.

10.

Attend Your Transfer School’s Orientation

Attend any “Transfer Days” or student orientations to get involved

at your new school.

ILLINOIS ARTICULATION INITIATIVE (IAI)

Illinois Central College participates in the Illinois Articulation

Initiative (IAI), and has since 1998. Under the terms of IAI, a

student who fulfills the general education requirements for the

Associate of Arts Degree and Associate of Science Degree as

listed in this catalog may also fulfill the lower divisional general

education requirements at more than 100 colleges and universities,

both private and public, within the State of Illinois. This benefit is

intended to make the transition to an Illinois four-year college or

university easier. Information about IAI, including names of

participating schools and specific course information, is available

from Illinois Central College academic advisors, the ICC Transfer

Center, and the IAI website: iTransfer.org

Refer to IAI and ICC General Education Course Alignment (page

168) and follow ICC’s IAI/Transfer guidelines:

• Students should be advised that most universities will accept

for transfer no more than approximately 66 credit hours from a

community college toward the bachelor degree.

• Students transferring in the completed IAI General Education

Core Curriculum (GECC) will not be required to complete ICC’s

Associate in Arts Degree or Associate in Science Degree

specific requirements.

• The College will accept IAI GECC courses that have a passing

grade when the Core has not been completed prior to transfer.

Students must maintain an overall cumulative grade point

average of 2.00 (C) in all IAI GECC courses and ENGL 110

and ENGL 111 must receive a grade of C or better.

• ICC does not accept partial semester credit, but will accept

credit for quarter hours to satisfy course requirements. Minimum

hours required for Associate in Arts Degree or Associate in

Science Degree will remain at 60 hours.

• Transfer credit may be accepted from another college or univer-

sity accredited by a regional accrediting association. If the credit

is not from such an institution, the transcript will not be evaluated

nor will the credit be accepted as fulfilling IAI requirements.

• ICC accepts College-Level Examination Program (CLEP)

credits to satisfy credit requirements for a degree and/or as

fulfilling the IAI GECC. Refer to page 13 for more information

on CLEP. If a student fulfills the entire IAI package at a school

and the school so certifies, ICC will accept that the student has

fulfilled the IAI general education requirements. If the student

does not complete the entire IAI package.

ASSOCIATE IN ARTS

The Associate in Arts degree is designed to provide students with the foundation for transferring

to a four-year college or university. The degree requires a minimum of 60 credit hours; approxi-

mately 40 of those hours are in general education coursework. (See page 42 for general

education requirements) Students usually choose to focus the remaining hours of coursework

in their future area of emphasis.

A special agreement called the Illinois Articulation Initiative (IAI) works to make transfers between

participating colleges and universities within Illinois smoother. Most colleges and universities

will accept no more than roughly 66 credit hours from community colleges towards a bachelors

degree. Colleges participating in the IAI agree to accept the general education coursework

completed at ICC as a package – to meet the general education requirements at IAI participating

schools. Some schools have additional or specific courses they want above the IAI gen eds. To

most effectively plan coursework at ICC, students should work with their advisor and the Illinois

Central College Transfer Center.

The following pages outline recommended coursework that will help prepare a student for

continued education in their selected field of study.

designed to allow the student to explore both the practical

and creative natures of communication as it relates to the

world in which we live. Illinois Central College provides

two approaches to the study of communication the

General Communication Option, and the Public Relations

Option. As a natural outgrowth and extension of commu-

nication classes, Illinois Central College's Forensic Union/

Speech Team offers interested students the opportunity

to participate in an intercollegiate forensic program, which

has achieved several national championships. Students

completing the Public Relations Option should consider

elective courses in business, marketing, or political science.

To Remain in and Graduate From the Program:

Students enrolled in the Associate in Arts degree program

nutritional needs, and oversee institutional food service

systems. They also counsel individuals and groups on

nutritional practices, supervise food service personnel

and large scale meal planning and preparation in health

care facilities, industrial cafeterias, prisons and schools,

Associate in Arts

Total Credit Hours: 60 to 64

Program Information: A student planning to prepare

for a career in computer science, mathematics teaching

at the high school level, or as a research technician

will essentially earn a major in mathematics. Many

mathematics majors choose to take considerable work

(possibly even a second major) in an applied field such

as chemistry, physics, economics, accounting, computer

programming, etc. By studying in an applied area along

with mathematics, students strengthen their employability,

especially in industry or at a research facility. Many courses

of study at Illinois Central College leading to four-year

degrees require considerable mathematics. For example,

the suggested courses of study for engineering, physics,

and chemistry all include a minimum of three semesters

of calculus. For students in accounting and business

administration, a one-year sequence of mathematics is

required.

Additional Program Info: Students enrolled in the

Associate in Arts degree program must meet with their

assigned academic advisor to plan a specific course

Associate in Science

Total Credit Hours: 60 to 64

Program Information: Students identified as biological

science majors take two years of basic work, followed by

a major in a specific area of interest. Many occupations

depend on an interest in and an aptitude for life science,

including: forester, biochemist, biologist, fish and wildlife

service, zoologist, botanist, ecologist, oceanographer,

teacher, pharmacologist, etc. Biology majors are usually

interested in the study of organisms and life functions, and

have a great interest in the natural world. Topics pursued

range from subcellular particles to vast populations. Since

each living organism is part of a larger interacting system,

biology is intertwined with other important fields of study.

Knowledge of biology is centered on understanding much

of the world and life around us.

ASSOCIATE IN ENGINEERING SCIENCE

The Associate in Engineering Science (AES) degree is designed to complete the lower-division

(freshman and sophomore) portion of a baccalaureate degree in engineering. Baccalaureate

engineering programs are highly structured and require extensive, sequential mathematics and

science courses at the lower division level. Because the AES degree increases the focus on

mathematics and science classes needed for engineering, ICC students need to take courses

in a similar pattern to those freshman and sophomore students in the field of engineering at a

four-year institution. Students enrolled in this degree program will still have general education

coursework to take at their transfer institution their junior or senior year. However, the general

education coursework required for ICC’s AES degree will transfer as general education courses

at IAI participating schools.

Students interested in engineering should meet with an engineering advisor as soon as possible

after applying to ICC.
