Academic requirements

Review the CLC Associate in Engineering Science (AES) degree. You must enroll full-time (12 or more semester hours).

CLC and UIUC each assign you a transfer advisor to assist with course selection and registration, as well as offer general guidance until your transfer to UIUC.

All Pathway students start with the same curriculum, regardless of AP scores. In the first semester of your first year, you take MTH 145 (Calc I) and CHM 121 (Chemistry I).

You must maintain a 3.5 cumulative GPA (with all A’s and B’s) for all classes taken at CLC, including your technical coursework in:

chemistry
computer science
engineering
math
physics

You are expected to complete all courses in which you enroll. Dropping, withdrawing or failing to earn a B or better in a required course jeopardizes your program standing.

After program completion

Once you successfully complete this program at CLC, you are guaranteed admission to The Grainger College of Engineering at UIUC. More than 90% of admitted students are placed in their first or second choice of departmental majors.

You have plenty of options. Even if you are granted admission, you are not obligated to attend UIUC. You can enroll in another guaranteed transfer program instead, such as T.A.G. for UIC or G.A.P. for Northern Illinois University. Find more information about our transfer partnerships.
