• Additional coursework may be required by the transfer institution. For example, if the student wishes to pursue chemical engineering, the transfer institution may require students to take additional hours in chemistry and biology. The student should work closely with their academic advisor from day 1 to ensure a smooth transition.
• Prerequisites must be completed with a grade of ‘C’ or above. Explicitly, these are MA 213, MA 223, PY 201, and PY 202.
• The student must complete at least 88 hours of academic credit (senior standing) at Illinois College before approval will be given for continuation of the program at the engineering institution.
• The completion of a degree program in mechanical, civil, or electrical engineering or similar engineering field at an approved institution is required for the award of the Illinois College bachelor’s degree. A student who elects not to continue the dual degree program will need to complete all BLUEprint requirements for graduation from Illinois College.
• Faculty approval to be in a 3-2 program is given if a 2.75 average (on a 4.0 scale) is achieved in courses in Division II (Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Mathematics, and Physics).
• Students need to complete their graduation application and degree audit with the Illinois College Office of the Registrar prior to leaving campus to attend the transfer institution.

• The Illinois College senior residency requirement is waived for participants in this program.
• Students are strongly encouraged to work closely with their advisors to verify that the general education requirements of the engineering institution are also fulfilled by their Illinois College studies, including convocation requirements.
• Since students participating in the 3-2 Program in Engineering receive degrees from both Illinois College and the college or university at which they complete their degree, these students need to fulfill the general education requirements of both. In acknowledgement of the curricular constraints posed by this situation, the following accommodations will be made. They will be allowed only for those students in the Dual Degree Program who successfully complete the engineering program at the institution to which they transfer:
  1. Students in the 3-2 Program in Engineering whose level of language participation necessitates their enrollment in a world language course at the 101 level will have successfully completed the world language requirement upon completion of this course.
  2. Since participants in the 3-2 Program in Engineering attend Illinois College for only three years, they are not required to have a senior capstone course or experience.
