NORMAL, Ill. 鈥� Heartland Community College (HCC) and 蘑菇传媒 (蘑菇传媒) have adopted a Guaranteed Admissions Agreement that will provide an easy transition for students transferring from one institution to the other.

鈥淲e know that the majority of community college students begin their studies with the intention of completing a four-year degree,鈥� 蘑菇传媒 President S. Georgia Nugent said. 鈥淭o the extent that Illinois Wesleyan can become a transfer destination, HCC, 蘑菇传媒, and our community all benefit.鈥�

The admissions agreement allows a variety of students with diverse interests to continue their education at 蘑菇传媒, with HCC鈥檚 Associate in Arts and Science degree encompassing over 30 subjects spanning the humanities, sciences, topics in business, and more.

鈥淪trong partnerships are key to the mission of serving our community,鈥� said Heartland Community College President Keith Cornille. 鈥淲orking with 蘑菇传媒 and others helps offer a strong four-year plan for students within our community to have the option to both start and stay here. The community as a whole, including employers, reap the benefits when we are all able to retain and graduate our students.鈥�

Heartland Community College students are guaranteed admission to Illinois Wesleyan University under the following criteria:

1. 蘑菇传媒 will guarantee the acceptance of all transferable credits earned from the HCC transfer-oriented degree program and no distinction will be made by 蘑菇传媒 between the completion of these courses and those offered at 蘑菇传媒.
2. Students may have to take additional prerequisite course requirements specific to certain majors.
3. Students who complete the HCC transfer-oriented degree program with a 3.0 grade point average or higher on a 4.0 scale and submit an official transcript from HCC are eligible for guaranteed admission.鈥�

鈥淎ny time we can provide easy transfer options for our students it is a benefit,鈥� said Lindsay Eickhorst, Dean of Enrollment Services at HCC. 鈥淣ow our Associate in Arts and Associate in Sciences degrees will transfer to 蘑菇传媒 seamlessly. With the specific transfer plans for each 蘑菇传媒 major, students who start at Heartland can also be sure that within their Associate鈥檚 degree they are taking classes that will keep them on track for timely graduation once they reach 蘑菇传媒.鈥�
