City Colleges of Chicago

• Students who successfully complete an Associate in Arts (A.A.), an Associate in Science (A.S.), or the General Education Core Curriculum (GECC) for the state of Illinois and an Associate in General Studies (A.G.S.) degree from CCC will automatically transfer to Lincoln University with their general education courses completed. Students seeking to enter the college of their major upon transfer must meet all academic requirements for the college.
• Students who complete an A.A., A.S., or A.G.S are not required to fulfill the University Seminar Requirement at Lincoln University.
  • This requirement is waived for students transferring with 30 or more semester hours.
• Students are required to complete the Computer Skills requirement and can fulfill this requirement at CCC or Lincoln University.
• CCC students must obtain and maintain a minimum 2.0 GPA with no grade lower than a "C" in all 100-level courses in order for credits to be accepted for transfer. Transfer students whose cumulative GPA is less than 2.0 may be admitted to Lincoln University on a probationary basis at the university’s discretion. The highest grade of any repeated course work will be calculated in the cumulative GPA.
• In collaboration with CCC, Lincoln University will also participate in reverse transfer to provide opportunities for students who have enrolled at Lincoln University as transfer students from CCC to transfer their earned Lincoln University credits back to CCC to complete their Associates Degree. Lincoln University and CCC will identify students eligible for reverse transfer to take advantage of this opportunity. Reverse transfer will ensure that qualifying students will have the credential of an Associate Degree to leverage for employment while they pursue further education.

CCC students who transfer to Lincoln will receive in-state tuition! Students must maintain full-time enrollment and a minimum 2.0 GPA while enrolled at Lincoln to receive in-state tuition.

Housing scholarships are also available. CCC students who complete an associate's degree and have a 3.5 or higher GPA may receive a Star Scholarship for $500 per semester for housing. Five Star Scholarships will be awarded per semester.
