Reverse Transfer

Reverse Transfer is a program designed for students who transferred from any Illinois community college to 91°µÍø without earning their associate's degree. Credits successfully completed at 91°µÍø may be transferred back to the community college and used to fulfill the remaining requirements for the student’s associate’s degree. The community college will evaluate the 91°µÍø work and determine if credits taken at 91°µÍø will fulfill any remaining requirements. Students who have attended any Illinois community college are eligible to take advantage of this policy.

Current 91°µÍø students who meet the following criteria will be contacted by Enrollment Management informing them of their eligibility for the Reverse Transfer process:

  • Transferred to 91°µÍø from, or previously attended, an Illinois community college
  • Earned a minimum of 15 credit hours at an Illinois community college
  • Earned a cumulative total of, at least, 60 credit hours, including hours acquired at 91°µÍø 

Students wishing to participate in this program must complete the Reverse Transfer Participation and Transcript Release Form. Completion and submission of this form authorizes 91°µÍø and the specified Illinois community college to exchange transcript information in support of the awarding of the student’s associate’s degree. Once received, the Illinois community college will evaluate the 91°µÍø transcript and determine whether courses taken at 91°µÍø will count toward degree completion.
