The Illinois Articulation Initiative (IAI) is designed to facilitate the transfer of students from one Illinois institution to another. To assist students in identifying qualifying general education core courses, appropriate course offerings listed in the following pages are designated with General Education Core areas as follows: IAI C – Communication; IAI S – Social & Behavioral Sciences; IAI H, HF – Humanities; IAI F, HF – Fine Arts; IAI M – Mathematics; IAI P, LP – Physical Sciences; IAI L, LP – Life Sciences. The Illinois Articulation Initiative/Illinois Baccalaureate Majors’ Recommendations (iTransfer Majors) describe courses typically taken by freshmen and sophomores for a specific major. These course recommendations are meant for students who are undecided about a transfer school. The recommended major courses are designated at the end of the appropriate course as follows: AG (Agriculture); BIO (Biological Science); BUS (Business); CHM (Chemistry); CS (Computer Science); CRJ (Criminal Justice); EGR (Engineering); EGL (English); HST (History); MC (Media and Communication Arts); MTH (Mathematics); PHY (Physics); PLS (Political Science); PSY (Psychology); SOC (Sociology) and TA (Theatre Arts). For more information go to www.iTransfer.org
Students planning to transfer should contact an academic advisor in Student Services by calling (815) 825-9375 or via email at advising@kish.edu.
All lecture/lab hours are based on a 16 week schedule.
NOTE: The following courses are open to students with appropriate preparation/prerequisites in mathematics. Students without documentation of prerequisites (high school and/or college/university official transcripts) who plan to take mathematics courses will be required to take the mathematics placement test by contacting the Student Services. Academic Advisors will interpret the mathematics placement test scores upon student request.
Students who are transferring to Kishwaukee College who have earned a grade of “D” in a prerequisite course must repeat that course and earn a grade of “C” or higher before enrolling in a higher course. The purpose of taking the mathematics placement test for these students is to help the student and the counselor decide if the student should take a lower level course before repeating the course in which the grade of “D” was earned.
Any student who receives a grade of “D”, “F”, or “W” in a mathematics class cannot advance to a higher level class even though placement test results may indicate a higher placement.
A high school transcript noting successful completion of a year of geometry must be on file for enrollment in 100/200 level mathematics classes.
