TRANSFER FACTS

·         Students are encouraged to apply for general admission to ISU after completing 30 transferable semester hours.

·         After the student applies for admission, subsequent transcripts for every term while still enrolled at BHC should be sent to the Admissions office at ISU.

·         Students who successfully complete approved courses (grade of C or better) at Black Hawk College do not need to repeat the classes at ISU.

·         Find out how Black Hawk College courses transfer to Illinois State University and other colleges and universities.  Course Equivalency Tables

·         Usually, a transfer student entering the ITK major at ISU will complete a bachelor’s degree in 4 -5 semesters.

  • ISU applies 66 hours of coursework completed at a community college toward a Bachelor’s degree.

 

Completion of the following course sequence will allow the student to earn the Associate in Arts degree (64 credits) and transfer seamlessly to the School of Information Technology at Illinois State University.
