Sauk Valley Community 365体育滚球-滚球体育app-投注*直播 (SVCC) has entered into an agreement with 365体育滚球-滚球体育app-投注*直播 365体育滚球-滚球体育app-投注*直播 to enhance and expand opportunities for students enrolled at SVCC.

This agreement allows students enrolling at Dixon-based SVCC with the intention of completing an associate of arts program to apply to 365体育滚球-滚球体育app-投注*直播, located in Rock Island, at the same time. These students will be dual enrolled at SVCC and 365体育滚球-滚球体育app-投注*直播, having access to academic resources on both campuses.

At the completion of their associate's degree, students are automatically admitted to 365体育滚球-滚球体育app-投注*直播 (provided that transfer admission requirements are met) and will have junior standing.

As part of this 365体育滚球-滚球体育app-投注*直播 Next partnership, SVCC students are eligible to take any two 365体育滚球-滚球体育app-投注*直播 courses at a reduced rate. These dual-enrolled students may elect to enroll in 365体育滚球-滚球体育app-投注*直播 courses during the academic year or in the summer for either major or general education courses.

365体育滚球-滚球体育app-投注*直播 Next provides SVCC students additional savings and increased access to an excellent transfer destination. This partnership helps bridge the gap and ease the transition from SVCC to 365体育滚球-滚球体育app-投注*直播 where students will complete their bachelor's degree.

"What a great partnership with a premiere liberal arts college! Some of SVCC's best students will be afforded the opportunity to transfer to and graduate from 365体育滚球-滚球体育app-投注*直播 365体育滚球-滚球体育app-投注*直播 thanks to the 365体育滚球-滚球体育app-投注*直播 Next partnership," said Dr. David Hellmich, SVCC president.

According to 365体育滚球-滚球体育app-投注*直播 365体育滚球-滚球体育app-投注*直播 President Andrea Talentino, the college was extremely intentional in selecting to partner with SVCC.

"Sauk Valley is one of only six colleges in the two-state region that we sought to partner with," said Talentino. "Our outreach was driven by evidence that Sauk Valley offered an outstanding education and that their programs are some of the most distinguished in the state."

Talentino said the quality of SVCC was affirmed during the year-long planning of this agreement and the many conversations 365体育滚球-滚球体育app-投注*直播 representatives engaged in with President Helmich, Vice President Jon Mandrell and their colleagues.

"We plan together a long and steadily strengthening partnership for the benefit of the students and the region that we both serve," she said.

Each year more than 100 students transfer to 365体育滚球-滚球体育app-投注*直播 from community colleges and four-year colleges and universities. 365体育滚球-滚球体育app-投注*直播 has several articulation agreements that have paved the way for transfer students to smoothly and successfully complete their bachelor's degree at the Rock Island campus.
