Higher Ed-Transfer-Fee Waiver

Abstract

Amends various Acts relating to the governance of public universities in Illinois. Provides that the governing board of each public university shall waive any admissions application fee for a student transferring from a public community college in this State if the transferring student is enrolled in the last semester of a degree program and is on schedule to graduate with a degree. Effective immediately. Senate Committee Amendment No. 1 Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends various Acts relating to the governance of public universities in Illinois. Provides that the governing board of each public university shall provide all Illinois students transferring from a public community college in this State with the university's undergraduate transfer admissions application fee waiver policy and, if such a policy exists, any application or forms necessary to apply for a fee waiver as part of the university's transfer admissions process. Provides that the governing board of each public university is encouraged to develop a policy to automatically waive the undergraduate transfer admissions application fee for low-income Illinois students transferring from a public community college in this State. Provides that the governing board of each public university shall post this policy in an easily accessible place on the university's Internet website. Effective immediately. Senate Floor Amendment No. 2 Provides that, beginning with the 2025-2026 academic year (instead of the 2024-2025 academic year), each public university (instead of the governing board of each public university) shall provide all Illinois students transferring from a public community college in this State with the university's undergraduate transfer admissions application fee waiver policy and, if such a policy exists, any application or forms necessary to apply for a fee waiver as part of the university's transfer admissions process. Makes conforming changes. House Floor Amendment No. 1 In provisions amending the University of Illinois Act, changes a reference of "University of Trustees" to "University".
