Requirements for Admission to Baccalaureate/Transfer Programs
All students entering South Suburban College must meet the requirements of the State of Illinois admissions standards. Students are allowed to register for college-level courses upon successful completion of the Placement Test.
Beginning with the Fall, 1993 semester, students applying for admission to a baccalaureate transfer program must meet the minimum requirements outlined in Illinois Public Act 86-0954 (see table below.) A student who does not meet these requirements at the time of application will be admitted to South Suburban College as a "conditional baccalaureate transfer student." When academic deficiencies have been completed, the student will be reclassified as a baccalaureate transfer student.
