IAI Participant

This college or university participates in the Illinois Articulation Initiative.

The Illinois Articulation Initiative General Education Core Curriculum (IAI GECC) is a collection of general education courses that, when completed, an IAI participating institution agrees to accept in place of its own comparable lower-division general education requirements. Completing the IAI GECC works best for students who plan to transfer to an IAI participating school but who have not decided which one.

When the IAI GECC is not completed before transfer, the transfer school will evaluate general education courses on a course-by-course basis.

Important IAI GECC exceptions (PDF)

To see which BHC courses can be taken to complete the IAI GECC, please use the
IAI GECC / BHC Courses Worksheet (PDF) .

Please confirm transfer requirements with the school of your choice.
