Designed to improve the articulation of two- and four-year college baccalaureate-oriented coursework in Illinois, this report provides background on the history and status of articulation in the state, and presents descriptions of current issues and related recommendations. First, the historical overview explains the "articulation compact" established by the Illinois Board of Education in 1970 to encourage Illinois universities to grant junior standing to transfer students who have completed associate degrees based on baccalaureate-oriented sequences and to consider their lower-division general education requirements satisfied. Next, the report considers the following transfer articulation issues and offers recommendations for their resolution: (1) challenges to the "articulation compact" by some universities; (2) variations in general education or core degree requirements among community colleges; (3) program and course articulation problems caused by differences in specific course content, changes in university course requirements, and changes required by external certification and accrediting groups; (4) the need for two- and four-year institutions to make special efforts to increase the number of minority students who complete associate degrees and subsequently transfer and complete baccalaureate degrees; (5) access to public universities for associate in arts and associate in science graduates; (6) the scope and effectiveness of academic advising at community colleges; (7) changes in university degree requirements; (8) student transcript policies and procedures; (9) nontraditional student populations; (10) maintenance of academic standards and instructional quality in telecourses; (11) transferability of dual credit enrollment courses; and (12) articulating associate in applied science degree programs.
