In order to be considered for admission, a transfer student must submit to the Office of Admissions:

2. $30 application fee,

3. official transcripts from all colleges and/or universities previously attended,

4. course work in progress if currently enrolled in classes,

5. an official high school transcript,

6. official ACT or SAT scores (see Admission Information above),

7. and a final official transcript at the completion of the last semester.
    

1. Transfer after completing Moraine Valley Community College�s Associate of Arts (A.A.) or
   Associate of Science (A.S.) degree (note: the A.F.A. and A.A.S. do not meet this requirement).
   Students desiring to meet general education requirements through satisfactory completion of a
   Moraine Valley AA or AS degree should see the Moraine Valley Educational Planning Guide for
   Transfer Students.

2. Transfer after completing IAI General Education Core Curriculum (GECC). Students desiring to
   meet general education requirements through satisfactory completion of the Illinois Articulation
   Initiative (IAI) should see the Moraine Valley Educational Planning Guide for Transfer Students.

3. Complete EIU General Education requirements with a grade of �C� or better in COM-101, COM-102
   and COM-103. For students not planning to complete the IAI general education core requirements
   or an AA/AS degree, but want to meet the EIU core requirements, a list of equivalent classes that
   can be transferred to EIU to meet these requirements is available at
   www.eiu.edu/~transfer/coop_coursesub.php. Students transferring without an AA/AS degree
   should try to complete as many of the General Education Core Curriculum as possible at MVCC.

Transfer students who complete the 37 - 41 semester hour package of the Illinois Articulation Initiative
from any participating College or University in Illinois will be guaranteed the following:

• All lower division EIU Graduation requirements are automatically waived.

• The Cultural Diversity Requirement will be met.

• EIU began accepting the IAI in Summer 1998 retroactively.

• If completion of the IAI is not noted on the transcript, EIU Records will complete an IAI audit
  upon request.

• The EIU Official Evaluation of Transfer Credit will note that the General Education Requirement
  is met if the IAI GECC is complete.

Eastern will accept: 

• courses that are not considered remedial, developmental or orientational.

• courses in which a grade of 'D' or higher has been earned as long as the cumulative GPA from
  the community college is 'C' or higher. This does not apply to COM-101, COM-102, or COM-103.
  (must be a "C" or higher).

• Career or Vocational courses are accepted as elective credit; there is no limit to the number
  of hours transferred.

• Credit for which a �D� was earned as long as the overall GPA from that institution was at least
  a �C� average.

• An undergraduate transfer student may choose to graduate under the requirements stated in
  the EIU catalog at the time he/she initially enrolled at another college provided that catalog
  did not precede his/her enrollment at EIU by more than three years. Students may also choose
  any subsequent catalog. In no case may a student combine or choose various requirements
  from several catalogs.

• In addition to requirements noted above, baccalaureate degree students must complete the
  following requirements:
