The objective of the program is to engage transfer students as early as possible to better prepare for the transition to the University. Students are encouraged to complete their Associate's degree at the City Colleges of Chicago prior to transferring to Northeastern Illinois University.
Under the agreement, students have full access to Northestern’s offices of Enrollment Services, Academic Advising, Library, and Financial Aid while enrolled at the community college. Students must maintain continuous full-time or part-time enrollment in the community college with a 2.0 grade point average to remain eligible for the dual admission program.
