Educational Planning: Transfer Counseling
| Are you planning to transfer to another college or university? |
 The Illinois Articulation Initiative (IAI) is here to help you successfully transfer college credit in the state of Illinois. This effort, effective summer of 1998, establishes guidelines and recommendations for transfer course work in both general education and select majors. Check out the iTransfer web site for participating institutions, course coding information, and further benefits of this initiative.

| Do you need to see how Sauk courses individually transfer to six state universities in Illinois? |
Course equivalents are available for six state universities in Illinois (EIU, ISU, NIU, SIU, UIUC, and WIU). This guide includes all baccalaureate/transfer courses (1.1) and select occupational/technical credit courses (1.2). Courses on this 1.1 and 1.2 guide can be utilized toward a general transfer degree at SVCC.
Students can use their current Sauk transcripts and see how their courses might fit into the requirements of many Illinois colleges and universities by registering and using the Course Applicability System (CAS) located at www.transfer.org.
