Transfer Programs

Danville Area Community College has agreements in place with many four-year colleges and universities to facilitate the transfer of credits for students who intend to complete a bachelor’s degree. Students who choose a course of study and transfer institution with the approval of an academic counselor, using established curriculum guidelines, may expect to complete a Bachelor’s degree in a timely fashion. If there is a major/school anywhere in the United States that does not have a prescribed transfer plan, one can be developed for the student working in concert with a DACC advisor and the transfer school of choice.

2+2 Agreements: Sometimes called capstones, allow a student pursuing a career or transfer degree to transfer their credits to a 4-year institution in pursuit of a Bachelor’s degree. Traditionally, career programs are not designed to transfer. These institutions have an active 2+2 agreement in place: Aspen University, Chamberlain College of Nursing, Grantham University, Indiana Wesleyan University, Lakeview College of Nursing, Olivet Nazarene University, McKendree University, St. Joseph's College, Southern Illinois University, University of Illinois-Springfield, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.

3+1 Agreements: 3+1 Agreements allow a student pursuing a Bachelor’s degree to take the first three years of classes on DACC’S campus – at DACC’S tuition rate – and then complete the fourth year of the degree online either at home or in DACC's Computer Lab. DACC has agreements with three universities: Franklin University, Eastern Illinois University, and Lakeview College of Nursing.

Dual Admission: Students are guaranteed admission to both Danville Area Community college and the four-year university once they have obtained an approved associate degree. Students who fulfill the requirements of the agreement are guaranteed acceptance to the university. Participating universities include: Eastern Illinois University (DAP), University of Illinois (DACC Pathway to Illinois: https://www.admissions.illinois.edu/apply/pathways/dacc), Olivet Nazarene University (Pursue ONU).

Reverse Transfer: Reverse transfer means that a former community college student who completed at least 15 hours of coursework at the community college and is now attending a public university may apply for an associate degree using requisite courses earned at the university. Through reverse transfer, these individuals have the potential to "transfer back" university courses that count toward an associate degree and earn that associate degree even while they are in progress to completing the baccalaureate degree.
