Successful completion of the Parkland Pathway program is marked by students who have completed all required courses with the required grade point average, met with their advisor as required, and completed any other requirements deemed necessary by the Pathway advising team.
After successful completion of the Parkland Pathway program, students who wish to transfer to UIUC as degree-seeking students are required to complete and submit the degree-seeking transfer application along with all supporting materials within posted timeframes. Students will work with staff in the Office of Undergraduate Admissions at UIUC, along with academic advisors at Parkland College and UIUC, throughout this process.
Parkland Pathway is designed to be a two-year program. Students who apply to transfer to UIUC as degree-seeking students earlier than that or who apply to a major other than the one they've been pursuing while in the Parkland Pathway program will be considered ineligible for guaranteed admission to UIUC. Please consult with Parkland and UIUC academic advisors and/or UIUC admissions staff to determine the best time to apply based on your major and progress toward degree.
Following each semester, each student's standing in the Parkland Pathway program will be evaluated by a review committee conducting Academic Standing Review. The review committee will evaluate a student's grades and progress toward admission requirements and degree.
If you're interested in changing the major you're pursuing through Parkland Pathway to a major in another academic community that participates in Parkland Pathway, you must meet with academic advisors in the new academic community to discuss the change. If approved, you must submit signed College Change paperwork.
If you're interested in changing your major to a non-participating Parkland Pathway major, you'll need to submit Withdrawal paperwork from the Parkland Pathway program and work with UIUC admissions on a traditional transfer plan.
If you wish to discontinue participation in the Parkland Pathway to Illinois program at any time, you must complete withdrawal paperwork with your Parkland College and/or UIUC advisor, or with a UIUC admissions team member.
If you decide you're no longer interested in pursuing transfer to UIUC, are interested in a non-Parkland Pathway participating major, or are administratively or academically dropped from the Parkland Pathway program, you're still eligible to apply for transfer to UIUC. However, program benefits will no longer be available to you, and if you're living in University Housing, you'll be required to move out.
