President S. Georgia Nugent. “We look forward to welcoming Lincoln Land transfer students into our Titan community and providing them with the resources and support they need to thrive academically, personally and professionally.”

The admissions agreement allows students with diverse interests to continue their education at Illinois Wesleyan through a variety of course plans. 

“This agreement is of great benefit to those of our students seeking to transfer to a high quality, private university to complete their bachelor’s degree. We know that the opportunities, wraparound supports, beautiful campus and high quality facilities that we offer our students will also be found at Illinois Wesleyan,” said Jason Dockter, interim vice president of academics at LLCC.

Lincoln Land Community College students are guaranteed admission to Illinois Wesleyan University under the following criteria: 

  1. IWU will guarantee the acceptance of all transferable credits earned from the Lincoln Land transfer-oriented degree programs and no distinction will be made by IWU between the completion of these courses and those offered at Illinois Wesleyan University.

  3. Students who complete their Associate's at Lincoln Land with a 3.0 grade point average or higher on a 4.0 scale, apply to IWU and submit an official transcript from Lincoln Land are eligible for guaranteed admission to Illinois Wesleyan.

LLCC students choosing to transfer to Illinois Wesleyan will work with their LLCC success coaches to ensure they complete the courses that align with the agreement. Illinois Wesleyan counselors will also be available to assist them in the transfer and enrollment process.

Illinois Wesleyan Vice President for Enrollment and Marketing LeAnn Hughes added, “Our collaboration with LLCC eases the transfer process for students seeking to continue their education. We are excited to offer this experience and welcome Lincoln Land students to the Illinois Wesleyan campus.”
