TRANSFER STUDENTS
Congratulations on being admitted to UIUC! You
are about to join students from all over Illinois and, indeed, from all 50 states
(and from 123 different countries) in pursuing an undergraduate degree at one of
the top 10 public universities in the nation.
As a transfer student, though, you are in a slightly
different situation compared to a new freshman because you already have some
credit hours from your previous college-level study. However, it may still
be necessary for you to take the placement tests. This depends entirely on
which courses the Office of Admissions and Records has accepted from your
previous transcript.
The online chemistry and foreign language placement
tests are required only if you meet the
following conditions: - (1) you have high school credit in the subject;
and
- (2) you have not earned college credit in the subject; and
- (3) you expect to
take the subject at UIUC.
You must take the ALEKS Math Placement Exam no matter what your math background may be.
You must score at least a 50 on the ALEKS Math exam to enroll in Math 115 (“Precalculus”) or Math 234 (“Calculus for Business I”). You must score at least a 70 on the ALEKS Math exam to enroll in Math 220 (“Calculus”) or Math 221 (“Calculus I”).
If you took chemistry, math and/or a foreign language at your
college, and if UIUC accepted those courses, then you and your advisor
will already know which UIUC courses you should enroll in to continue your studies. Questions
about which courses were accepted by UIUC should be directed to the Office of Admissions and
Records by emailing
ugradadmissions@uiuc.edu or by calling 217-333-0302. Questions specific to your
academic preparation should be directed to your department or your college office.
Please note that the
ALEKS Math exam must
be taken during the five months prior to enrolling in a
math course. If you plan to postpone math till the spring, you cannot log in to take the ALEKS Math exam till mid-September 2008. Questions about ALEKS should be emailed to
advising@math.uiuc.edu
