Concurrent Enrollment at Parkland and the University of Illinois

The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) and Parkland College have a concurrent enrollment agreement that permits Parkland students to enroll in university courses that are not available at Parkland. Similarly, UIUC students may enroll in selected Parkland courses with the written permission of the appropriate representative of their college. Enrollment is on a space-available basis at each institution.

During each semester for which concurrent enrollment is sought, the student must register for at least as many (and normally more) semester hours at the principal institution and meet the admission requirements of the cooperating college. Students are required to pay the tuition and fees regularly assessed at each institution in accordance with the number of semester hours taken. The application fee for UIUC, however, will be waived for Parkland students. International students will be assessed tuition and fees according to the residency regulations as established by Parkland College. To determine the appropriate rate of tuition and fees, international students should contact the Office of Admissions and Records (217/351-2482; A167) for information on residency classification before registering. Concurrent enrollment requests for either the UIUC or Parkland College may be submitted no earlier than May 1 for the summer and fall semesters or December 1 for the spring semester.

Parkland Students

Parkland students wishing to enroll on a concurrent basis at the University of Illinois should do the following for each semester they wish to attend:

1. Enroll at Parkland for the semester being considered.
2. Consult their counselor or advisor to discuss the procedures and advisability of concurrent enrollment and determine the course desired and its availability.
3. Request the director of Parkland’s Counseling and Advising Center (A251) to sign the completed Concurrent Enrollment form.
4. Request the appropriate assistant or associate dean of the University of Illinois college which offers the desired course to sign the completed Concurrent Enrollment form.
5. Once the request is approved, the Concurrent Enrollment form and a completed nondegree application for admission must be presented to the Office of Admissions at the University of Illinois, 901 W. Illinois, Urbana, Illinois.
6. Students seeking concurrent enrollment may register during the late registration period. If registration is completed by the end of the first week of late registration, the late registration fee will be waived.
7. This procedure must be followed at the beginning of each semester the student wishes to concurrently enroll. If a student was concurrently enrolled during the previous semester at UIUC, the student may not need to complete a nondegree application for admission. (Check with the UIUC Office of Admissions.)
