Evaluation of Transfer Credit

The transcript evaluation process takes approximately 4 weeks to complete. During peak enrollment periods, additional time may be required. Please note only credits that will be used for your current program(s) of study are added to your academic record at ICC.

Students interested in receiving credit from college level coursework should have their official transcripts sent directly to ICC as early as possible after completing the ICC application. Once ICC receives the official transcript, it is evaluated in the order in which it is received. You will receive a notification via email to your ICC email address once the evaluation is complete. Information regarding evaluation results are available within the student’s MyICC account. Once logged in, select Academics from the menu, then select Transfer Credit. Keep in mind that only credits transfer; individual grades earned at another institution will not be factored into your ICC cumulative grade point average.

Transfer of credit may be considered for lower division coursework that has been successfully completed from the following categories of academic institutions:

Regionally Accredited

Degree-granting public, private, nonprofit, two- and four-year institutions in the United States conferred by the Higher Learning Commission, and/or parallel accrediting agencies in other regions of the United States.

Non-regionally Accredited

Specialized institutions in the United States, including distance learning providers recognized by the Council of Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) and the U.S. Department of Education.

Non-United States Institutions

Institutions that hold regional accreditation through the home country’s Ministry of Education to award professional degrees, certificates and licensures. Course work from non-United States States institutions must be evaluated by an approved foreign transcript evaluation agency such as World Education Services, Educational Credential Evaluators (ECE), or SpanTran.

Military/Dantes

Credit achieved through military training or examination may be considered for transfer according to the Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services by ACE.

We have retained Credentials, Inc. to accept transcript orders online. Transcripts are normally processed within 2-3 business days but may take longer during peak periods or if your transcript is from 1982 or older.

Any student who has a financial obligation with ICC will have their transcript withheld. Payments for outstanding financial obligations must be with guaranteed funds.

When a student turns 18 years old, or enters a postsecondary institution at any age, the rights under FERPA transfer from the parents to the student (“eligible student”). This means that the college cannot legally give a parent or guardian any information regarding the student’s educational record without the student’s written consent.

According to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974, students have the right to:

• Inspect and review their educational records.
• Request the amendment of their educational records to ensure that they are not inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of the student’s privacy or other rights
• Restrict disclosure of information to other individuals or entities.
• File a complaint with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act Office if the College fails to comply with the requirements of the Act.

Under FERPA, Illinois Central College can only release the following directory information for students:

• Student’s full name
• Enrollment status (full or part-time)
• Dates of attendance
• Graduation date(s)
• Degree(s) or certificate(s) earned
• Honors received and officially recognized and sports

If a student wants additional information released to any individual and/or organization, they must submit a signed Release of Information with a government issued photo ID that contains a signature to the Enrollment Services office either on East Peoria or Peoria campus.

If the student is unable to appear on campus, they can upload a photo of the ID along with the release by clicking on the Upload Here button near the top of Students Records page. Choose Secure Upload, c lick on Enrollment Services and then complete the pop-up form using your ICC email. Choose Regular Upload to attach the release and ID.

Ferpa Release Or Restriction Of Information

ICC will remove all tuition charges and provide 100 percent tuition refunds for any decrease in credit hours, including complete withdrawal from the College, if students officially drop classes through their MyICC account using these steps prior to the refund date(s) for their course(s). Refund dates vary and are posted for each class on the student’s class schedule. Students may then withdraw from their class(es) up until 75 percent of the class has elapsed. Students are financially responsible for tuition and fees after the refund date.

If you experience problems logging into your MyICC account or when trying to drop the course, you must contact the ICC Technology Help Desk within 24 hours of your attempt so we can research the problem. If you do not make contact, your situation will be handled in accordance with the current ICC enrollment policies.

Dropping Classes for Non-Activity

Students who are identified as being no longer active in class by their instructor will be dropped from the class at midterm. Students recorded for non-activity will be notified by e-mail that they have been administratively dropped from the class without refund of tuition. Instructors have individual and often varying policies regarding what constitutes as non-activity. Do not assume you will be dropped if you never attend or stop being active in a class. If space is available and if approval from department and instructor are obtained, then students may re-enroll in a class from which they have been administratively dropped.

Students who are not marked by their instructor for non-activity and who fail to officially withdraw themselves from class will receive a failing or unsatisfactory grade. Students are financially responsible for tuition and fees for all classes not officially dropped by the appropriate refund date.

Dropping Classes Due to Academic Misconduct

Students who receive a failing grade on an assignment for Academic Misconduct will not be allowed to drop that class without instructor permission. In addition, students who are given a failing grade for the class for Academic Misconduct will not be allowed to drop the class. ICC reserves the right to reinstate any individuals who are dropped in these situations.

Late Withdrawal

Withdrawals after the end date listed in the class schedule will be considered late. Check the Late Withdrawal page for more information.

Withdrawal Due to Active-Duty Call

In accordance with Illinois Statue 330 ILLCS 60/5.2 , students who are called to active military service have the right to receive a refund of tuition and fees applicable to their registration when called to duty for a period of seven or more consecutive days. Withdrawal from courses will not impact the grade point average of the service member. Please provide a copy of your orders to the ICC Veterans Affairs Coordinator as soon as you receive them.

Cancellation of Class

ICC reserves the right to cancel a class section due to insufficient enrollment. Students enrolled in canceled classes will be contacted and can choose to enroll in another class. If the College cancels a class, the student will receive a total refund of tuition and fees for the canceled class if they choose not to enroll in another class.

A late withdrawal is a withdrawal from a class after the end date listed in the class schedule has passed. This process is designed to assist students who have experienced unforeseen, serious, and extenuating circumstances outside the student’s control that negatively impacted their ability to be academically successful. Students should present a request as soon as possible after the end of the impacted semester.

Check the Late Withdrawal page for more information.
