Course Attendance by Illinois High School Students
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 3.5 (A = 4.0) grade point average and have prerequisite
courses completed. 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 nondegree application for admission to the University (not
required of students who were previously enrolled under this plan).
- An official copy of the 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 from Guided
Individual Study, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign,
Suite 1406, 302 East John Street, Champaign, IL 61820. 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.
Early Admission Program
Under the Early Admission Program, a high school student meeting competitive
admission requirements except receipt of a high school diploma may
be enrolled in the University before graduating from high school.
Although each application is treated as a special admission case,
a prospective student must be at least 15 years of age by the time
of desired term of enrollment, have earned 15 units toward a high
school diploma, be in good academic standing, and be recommended by
a high school staff member who is able to evaluate the student's work,
and meet competitive admission standards. Those accepted in the program
are enrolled in regular four-year curricula and treated as first-year
students.
A student interested in this program may apply for admission no sooner
than January preceding the fall term of planned entry so that the
application can include complete information about the student's fall
semester. However, application should be completed as soon as possible
after January 1.
For complete information, contact the Office
of Admissions and Records.
Delayed Admission
A person approved for admission may request that the admission be
delayed for a maximum of one year to allow participation in nonacademic
pursuits. An applicant who wishes to consider this alternative should
request further information from the Office of Admissions and Records
at the time that he or she accepts the admission offer since the program
is limited.
Concurrent Enrollment with Parkland
A student in good academic standing at Parkland College or at the
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign may concurrently enroll
in courses offered by the other institution if such courses are not
available at the student's primary campus. Prior written approval
for concurrent enrollment must be obtained from the dean of students
at Parkland College and the appropriate college office at the University
campus.
Generally, concurrent enrollees must take fewer hours at the secondary
institution than at the primary institution. Concurrent enrollees
are part-time nondegree students at the secondary institution and
pay the tuition and fees regularly assessed at that institution in
accordance with the amount of work taken. The application fee is waived.
Study Away from Campus
The University permits a student who has been enrolled on campus for
at least a semester or summer session, with the approval of the student's
adviser and the appropriate departmental and college offices, to undertake
independent study away from campus either in the United States or
abroad.
Colleges and departments may establish variable credit courses that
permit students, upon payment of an appropriate fee, to continue enrollment
in the University while studying away from campus. Final determination
of credit is made by the department and college concerned.
Overseas study programs offered by each college are described in the
individual college sections of this catalog.
