Transferring to a Four-year Institution<br />
It is important for students to plan for transfer to a senior<br />
institution as early as possible in their academic career. <strong>Triton</strong><br />
<strong>College</strong> has a full-service Transfer Center, located in the <strong>College</strong><br />
Center, to assist with transfer planning. A computerized transfer<br />
articulation system provides students with direct access to<br />
information regarding the transferability of specific courses to<br />
more than 50 Illinois colleges and universities. While attending<br />
<strong>Triton</strong>, students should contact the college or university to<br />
which they intend to transfer to ensure transferability and to<br />
plan their <strong>Triton</strong> course work accordingly. Visits to these college<br />
campuses also are encouraged. <strong>Triton</strong> counselors and Transfer<br />
Center staff are available to provide additional information to<br />
transfer student.<br />
Illinois Articulation Initiative<br />
<strong>Triton</strong> <strong>College</strong> is a participant in the Illinois Articulation<br />
Initiative (IAI), a statewide agreement that allows transfer of<br />
the General Education Core curriculum between participating<br />
institutions. Completion of the General Education Core curriculum<br />
at any participating college or university in Illinois assures<br />
transferring students that lower-division general education<br />
requirements for an associate’s or bachelor’s degree have been<br />
satisfied. This agreement is in effect for students entering an<br />
associate or baccalaureate degree-granting institution as firsttime<br />
freshman in summer 1998 and thereafter.<br />
The baccalaureate majors recommendations build on the<br />
transferable General Education Core curriculum by identifying<br />
courses in the major and prerequisite courses that students need<br />
to complete to transfer as a junior, that is, with a minimum of 60<br />
semester credits, into the specific major.<br />
Students are strongly encouraged to complete an AA, AS,<br />
AAT or AFA degree prior to transfer, to facilitate the transferability<br />
of credits through the IAI. Nursing students may complete<br />
the AAS (Associate in Applied Science degree) and Music<br />
and Art students may complete the Associate in Fine Arts<br />
degree (AFA).
