The State of Illinois Public Act 86-0954 establishes minimum admissions standards for students enrolling in baccalaureate-transfer programs—Associate in Arts (A.A.), Associate in Science (A.S.), Associate in Engineering Science (A.E.S.), and Associate in Fine Arts (A.F.A.)—offered by public community colleges. Students seeking admission into the Associate in Arts, Associate in Science, Associate in Engineering Science, or Associate in Fine Arts degree programs at Kankakee Community College must successfully complete at least 15 units of high school course work from the following course-specific categories:
| Category |
No. of Units |
Description |

2 |
Emphasizing history and government |
| Mathematics |
3 |
Introductory through advanced algebra, geometry, trigonometry, or fundamentals of computer programming |
| Science |
2 |
Laboratory sciences |
| Electives |
2 |
Foreign language, music, vocational education, or art |
| Flexible academic units |
2 |
Additional courses from any of the five subject areas described above. |
A deficiency may be satisfied through assessment and/or completion of specified remedial/developmental or college-level courses. A student with deficiencies will be required to complete appropriate course work prescribed through assessment and academic advisement. Students meeting the prerequisite and assessment requirements for transfer-level courses will satisfy the admissions requirement.
Students must meet the assessment requirements regardless of whether or not they meet the high school course-specific requirements. Students will be assessed in English, mathematics, and reading to assist them with placement in courses appropriate to their academic abilities. Assessment will help to determine if a student demonstrates knowledge and skills expected to be acquired in the high school courses required for admission. Assessment is required to enroll in English and mathematics courses or other specified courses identified in the catalog.
Students who graduated prior to 1993, those who earned a GED certificate, and those high school graduates with high school course work deficiencies will be provided with appropriate testing and course work to either verify their competencies or to compensate for specific deficiencies. A student with deficiencies may satisfy the high school course work requirement in each area by demonstrating competency based on a specific proficiency examination provided by the college or by an assessment score which allows the student to enroll in transfer-level courses. A student also may satisfy the high school course work requirement by passing a transfer-level course in each of the specific subject areas where a deficiency exists.
Students who have successfully completed 24 semester hours of transfer-level course work at an accredited college or university will be considered having the equivalent of the required high school course work shown above.
