News Admissions Partnership Program Posted 21 June 2010 Students admitted to Iowa Central Community College who plan to pursue a bachelor's degree at the University of Northern Iowa can now sign up for the Admissions Partnership Program to streamline the transfer process. UNI President Ben Allen and ICCC President Dan Kinney signed the Admissions Partnership Program agreement Friday, June 11. "UNI has a long history of working with Iowa's community colleges, which play an important role in providing higher education to Iowans," Allen said. "This new connection to Iowa Central Community College gives students a direct link to UNI from the day they sign up for the Admissions Partnership Program, and we believe it will make earning a bachelor's degree a reality for more and more Iowans." Through the program, ICCC students who plan to pursue bachelor's degrees at UNI will receive special benefits to help pave the way for academic success at both schools. Students accepted into the program while enrolled at ICCC benefit from: -Guaranteed admission to UNI, provided all requirements are met. -Timely progress toward graduation. With the exception of some UNI programs, participation enables students who stay on track to begin at ICCC and graduate from UNI in a total of eight semesters. -Option to lock-in bachelor's degree requirements with the same status as a student who enrolls directly at UNI as an entering freshman. -Academic advising at both ICCC and UNI from the point of acceptance into the Admissions Partnership Program. -Early orientation and scheduling for the first semester at UNI. -Guaranteed placement in UNI housing, provided the student complies with established residence policies and application procedures and deadlines. -Access to UNI campus and student resources. -Receipt of updated UNI materials and information about campus events and opportunities. -Updated ICCC transcripts automatically sent to UNI at the end of each semester. Students who want to be a part of the ICCC-UNI Admissions Partnership Program must enroll at ICCC as a degree-seeking student in a program appropriate for the transfer and then apply to the program. Once accepted into the Admissions Partnership Program, the student will meet with an ICCC adviser/counselor each semester to select course work that meets UNI's transfer requirements and consult with a UNI adviser each semester prior to transfer. In addition to one-on-one work with Admissions Partnership Program students, UNI will collaborate with ICCC to provide career exploration programs to undecided students, provide a transfer plan to allow for maximum applicability of coursework to the student's designated degree program, and provide opportunities for participating students to take part in a number of activities and services at no charge. For more information about the Admissions Partnership Program, contact an ICCC counselor or Tony Smothers, academic advisor for transfer relations at UNI, at 319-273-3406 or anthony.smothers@uni.edu.
