The University of Illinois Springfield has signed a new transfer admission guarantee agreement (TAG) with Illinois Central College (ICC) in East Peoria. The new agreement guarantees ICC students admission to UIS and provides a clear pathway for them to complete their bachelor’s degree, as well as utilizing reverse transfer credits to complete their associate degrees.

Dear UIS Students and Colleagues:

Two years ago, as the COVID-19 pandemic began to take hold of our world, we found ourselves experiencing a newfound sense of uncertainty, faced with decisions we had never before imagined making. Over a rapidly changing and very abbreviated period of time in March 2020, UIS leaders recognized the need to complete the semester remotely and asked anyone who could stay home to do so. By late March, a very small number of individuals continued to live or work on campus.
