HB3760 EnrolledLRB103 30320 RJT 56748 b

    AN ACT concerning education.
 
    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
 
    Section 5. The Public University Uniform Admission Pilot
Program Act is amended by changing Section 10 as follows:
 
    (110 ILCS 118/10)
    (Section scheduled to be repealed on July 1, 2027)
    Sec. 10. Uniform admission system pilot program.
    (a) Beginning with the 2020-2021 academic year, each
institution, except for the University of Illinois, shall
create a 4-year uniform admission system pilot program under
this Act to admit first-time freshman students for each
semester of the pilot program.
    (b) Beginning with the 2022-2023 academic year, the
University of Illinois shall create a 4-year uniform admission
system pilot program under this Act to admit community college
transfer students for each semester of the pilot program.
    The University of Illinois provides multiple pathways to
transfer and shall guarantee admission to all applicants who:
        (1) have enrolled only at an Illinois community
    college after graduating from an Illinois high school;
        (2) have earned a minimum of 36 graded, transferable
    semester hours at the time of application to the
    University. Students are encouraged to consult the
    Illinois Articulation Initiative general education core
    curriculum course list and other resources at the State
    and University level to determine course transferability;
        (3) have attained a minimum grade point average of 3.0
    in all transferable coursework completed at the time of
    application to the University; and
        (4) have satisfied the University's English language
    proficiency requirement.
    (c) Beginning with the 2024-2025 academic year, each
institution shall create a 4-year uniform admission system
pilot program under this Act to admit community college
transfer students for each semester of the pilot program. This
subsection does not apply to a university that already has a
uniform admission policy for transfer students equal to or
less restrictive than that prescribed in this Section and
maintains that policy for the duration of the effective period
of this subsection.
    At a minimum, the universities shall guarantee admission
to all applicants who:
        (1) have enrolled at a State community college after
    graduating from a State high school;
        (2) have earned a minimum of 36 graded, transferable
    semester hours at the time of application to the
    university; students are encouraged to consult the
    Illinois Articulation Initiative general education core
    curriculum course list and other resources at the State
    and university level to determine course transferability;
        (3) have attained a minimum grade point average of 3.0
    in all transferable coursework completed at the time of
    application to the university; and
        (4) have satisfied the university's English language
    proficiency requirement.
    Nothing in this Section prohibits institutions from
establishing or implementing less restrictive uniform
admission transfer policies.
