Transfer

Definition:

A transfer applicant is one who (1) has completed a minimum of 24 semester or 36 quarter hours of transferable college classroom credit by the time of application and (2) does not meet the definition of a beginning freshman or a readmission applicant. While 24 semester or 36 quarter hours are the minimum number of hours required, many curricula require additional credit hours and completion of specific core courses.

*Once a student has earned college credit outside of high school, they must meet the transfer requirements to attend UIC.

• College of Architecture and Arts

• College of Liberal Arts and Sciences
• College of Education
• College of Engineering
• College of Nursing
• College of Urban Planning & Public Affairs
