South Suburban College offers a wide variety of courses specifically designed for transfer. This enables students to complete their first two years of coursework leading toward a Bachelor’s* degree in virtually any field of study at a four-year college or university. The keys to transfer success are to start planning immediately and to select your coursework carefully. SSC counselors and academic advisors are available to help students draw up their Master Academic Plan (MAP).**** If you plan to transfer, you should strive to achieve four important goals at SSC: 1. To complete the Associate in Arts (A.A.)**, the Associate in Science (A.S.)**, the Associate in Fine Arts (A.F.A.)** or the Associate in Engineering Science (A.E.S.)** The general education and graduation requirements for these degrees at SSC are clearly spelled out in this catalog. Refer to pages 22-27. See your counselor to plan your MAP. 2.
To fulfill all the lower-division*** general education requirements of the
senior institution you plan to attend. Every four-year college and university in Illinois has different general education requirements. See pages 42-73 for an explanation of general education requirements and SSC equivalencies for the colleges and universities where large numbers of SSC students choose to transfer. In addition, catalogs and transfer guides for all Illinois colleges are available in the Counseling and Transfer Centers. In most cases, if you select your general education coursework carefully, you can simultaneously satisfy the general education requirements for both SSC and the transfer institution. Build these requirements into your MAP. 3.
To fulfill the lower division requirements in your major field of study. Visit Transfer Programs page for more information. You should also familiarize yourself with the criteria for admission into the specific program major at the college where you plan to transfer. In some cases, specific lower division coursework is required. Important information is available in the Counseling and Transfer Centers. Ask for the specific articulation guides for community college students planning to major in certain fields (e.g., engineering, chemistry or business). Detailed course equivalency guides are also available. This information should be included in your MAP. 4. When you are Ready to transfer Obtain a Transcript Request Form from the Admissions and Registration Center. Complete the form, requesting that transcript of your coursework at SSC be sent to the school where you intend to transfer. Be certain to verify that the transcript has been received by your transfer institution. If you experience difficulty in transferring any of your courses, contact the SSC Transfer Center for assistance. Generally, if college officials intercede on behalf of SSC students, they are able to facilitate the resolution of transfer problems. Students intending to transfer to other colleges or universities are encouraged to plan their programs with a counselor in the Transfer Center to ensure compatible course selection. LEGEND: |
