Transfer students may satisfy the requirements of the University Core Curriculum by successful completion of the Illinois Articulation Initiative's General Education Core Curriculum (IAI GECC). Transfer students who have not completed all Core Cur­riculum requirements prior to enrolling at SIU can have their transcripts evaluated and comparable courses will be applied toward the University Core Curriculum or the IAI General Education Core Curriculum requirements on a course-by-course basis. A student must have a minimum of 30 semester hours of transfer credit toward the satisfac­tion of general education requirements prior to enrollment at SIU in order to be eligible to complete the IAI GECC transin lieu of the SIU UCC requirement subsequent to admis­sion to the University.
