Illinois Articulation Initiative IAI Spoon River College participates in the Illinois Articulation Initiative, a statewide agreement that allows transfer of the completed Illinois General Education Core Curriculum between participating institutions.

This agreement is in effect for students entering an associate or bachelor’s degree-granting institution as a first-time freshman. Students in AA and AS degree programs must select general education courses with IAI codes. The following codes identify qualifying general education courses: IAI C (Communication) IAI F (Fine Arts) IAI H (Humanities) IAI L (Life Sciences) IAI M (Mathematics) IAI P (Physical Sciences) IAI S (Social Sciences)

Completion of General Education Core Curriculum Under the following circumstances, institutions should offer transfer students the option of satisfying lower-division general education requirements by completing a GECC curriculum while enrolled in the receiving institution.  When the transfer student has completed a statewide articulated associate degree or  When the transfer student has completed 30 semester hours of transfer credit without having completed the GECC.

Online Course Exchange (OCE) This is an agreement that Spoon River College has with Illinois Community Colleges Online (ILCCO), which is an organization of several other accredited community colleges within Illinois that offer online learning. If you would like to take a specific course online and Spoon River College does not offer it, ask your advisor to search the OCE course listings to see if the course is available at a partnering institution.
