Arts & Sciences Transfer Guarantee
Triton College guarantees that courses approved for
transfer to another college will be honored either as program
requirements, general education requirements or
electives. Students must develop their program of study
with an counselor to ensure that selected courses are transferable.
If they are not, and all provisions of the Credit
Transfer Guarantee are followed, the tuition and course
fees will be refunded to the student.
Effective Summer 1998 for new incoming freshmen, the
Illinois Articulation Initiative allows transfer of the General
Education Core curriculum between participating Illinois institutions.
The Baccalaureate Majors Recommendations build on
the transferable General Education Core Curriculum by identifying
courses in the major as well as prerequisite courses that
students need to transfer with junior standing into the specific
major. Triton students are encouraged to complete the associate’s
degree prior to transfer.
To complete a guarantee, students must meet with a
Triton College counselor and select courses based on the
intended major and transfer institution. The student, the
counselor and the Dean of Student Services will sign the
guarantee. If the courses do not transfer as per the terms of
the signed Credit Transfer Guarantee, the tuition and
course fees will be refunded to the student.

providing exemplary programs and services, and as a reflection
of its pride, confidence and accountability in education
