SIU And Shawnee Community College Reverse Transfer Agreement
SIU and Shawnee Community College have a new agreement to help students earn their Associates degree.
SIU Chancellor Austin Lane and SCC President Tim Taylor held a signing ceremony Thursday morning to establish a reverse transfer agreement.
Under this agreement SCC students can earn their Associates degree while attending SIU.
To be eligible student must complete at least 15 transferable credit hours and one semester at SCC before transferring to SIU.
Chancellor Lane says this program will lower student debt by ensuring students don’t take classes that they’ve already had, but didn’t transfer to SIU.
