NOTE: This document was generated from the 1995-1997 UIUC Programs of Study.

Qualified local high school students are permitted, while in high school, to attend University classes for college credit. They may also enroll for college credit in correspondence and extramural courses offered by the University.

To qualify for high school and on-campus University concurrent enrollment, a student must be recommended by his or her high school principal and have a 4.5 (A = 5.0) grade-point average. Students are assessed tuition at the regular undergraduate nondegree student rates.

Courses taken by these students involve work over and above the secondary school curriculum. Grades and course credits will appear on their permanent University records and on official transcripts. If these students enter the University after high school graduation, the courses, if applicable, will be credited toward University graduation.

A student applying for on-campus admission under this program should be prepared to submit the following materials upon request:

-- A $30 check or money order payable to the University of Illinois, for the nonrefundable application fee.

-- A nondegree application for admission to the University (not required of students who were previously enrolled under this plan).

-- An official copy of the student's high school transcript covering all work completed in high school and courses in progress, together with ACT or SAT test score if available. Acceptance under this program does not guarantee later acceptance as a degree candidate.

Information and applications for this program may be obtained from the Office of Admissions and Records. A separate undergraduate admission application is required if a student desires to attend the University after high school graduation or under the Early Admission Program described in the next section.

A student interested in correspondence study should request information and an application form as described in Correspondence Courses. It is suggested that students begin correspondence study to coincide with the start of a fall or spring semester at the University. Applications should be submitted before the beginning of a semester. For the summer session, applications should be submitted by the middle of May.
