THIS TRANSFER GUIDE CONTAINS IMPORTANT TRANSFERINFORMATION THAT CAN IMPACT A STUDENT’S ABILITY TO TRANSFER AND COMPLETE THEIR STUDIES IN A TIMELY MANNER.

The information on this sheet is subject to frequent change; students should contact the four-year school to keep informed of changes. Final responsibility for verifying all transfer information lies with the student.

TRANSFER OPTIONS

Complete AA or AS Degree Students planning on transferring to Roosevelt University who complete the AA or AS degree can benefit from the Articulation Initiative (IAI). By completing Harper’s 1998 or later AA or AS degree with a 2.0 GPA in Groups 1-5, Roosevelt’s general education requirements will be considered met. Individual majors may have additional prerequisites and/or requirements that are not covered by this agreement.

Transfer without completing AA or AS Degree Students who choose to transfer prior to completing an AA or AS degree can still benefit from Illinois Articulation Initiative (IAI) by completing Groups 1-5 of the AA or AS with a cumulative 2.0 GPA. This completes the General Education Core Curriculum (GECC) which will meet Roosevelt’s general education requirements.

Students who do not complete the AA or AS or the GECC will need to meet Roosevelt’s general education requirements. See the transfer grid on page 4 of this guide. Students who have earned 30 hours of transferable credit to Roosevelt and are IAI eligible may have the option to complete the GECC after transfer, instead of Roosevelt’s general education requirements. Students should check with a Roosevelt advisor to determine the best option.

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS FOR TRANSFER STUDENTS  Students who have completed 15 or more semester hours of transferable college credit are considered transfer applicants.  Transfer applicants should have at least a 2.0 GPA on a 4.0 scale.  A grade of C or better must be achieved in any course required in the major, English and math. Roosevelt accepts courses with grades of D for general education course requirements and electives with some exceptions.  Harper and Roosevelt have "2 + 2" degree completion agreements for many different majors. The list of agreements can be found at https://www.roosevelt.edu/admission/transfer/harper-college

DUAL DEGREE PROGRAM The Dual Degree Program (DDP), a unique partnership between Roosevelt and Harper, provides an excellent pathway for full‐time students to earn quality, accessible, and affordable associate and bachelor’s degrees close to home at Roosevelt's Schaumburg campus. A student accepted into the program will be guaranteed admission to Roosevelt after completion of his/her associate degree.

TRANSFER CREDIT A student may transfer up to sixty-six (66) transferable semester hours from a 2-year institution. A minimum thirty (30) semester hours must be completed at Roosevelt to satisfy residency requirements.

Students can not earn credit for English 102 through Advanced Placement (AP).

CALCULATION OF ADMISSION GRADE POINT AVERAGE The highest grade of a repeated course will be calculated into the admission GPA if both courses were taken at the same school. Grades will be averaged if the courses were taken at different schools.

APPLICATION DEADLINES Roosevelt has rolling admission and therefore no set application deadline. Students are recommended to apply by June 1 for fall semester and by September 1 for spring semester.
