+If a course satisfies both the EREG and ERGU requirements, students will be given credit for one of the attributes and need to take a course that fulfills the other attribute.
Transfer Students: To maximize your transfer experience, complete the bolded courses/requirements pre-transfer and satisfy either the Illinois Articulation Initiative (IAI) General Ed Core or receive an AA, AS, or AAT (early childhood, special ed or math) degree from an IAI community college. If ‘Minor’ requirements are shown, discuss careful course selection with the academic advising contact listed. Visit the transfer credit website to find course equivalency guides.
