Will my IVCC credits transfer to a university or 4-year college? IVCC E2C and Dual credit courses will transfer to most IL colleges but you should always work with an IVCC counselor and an admissions counselor at the college you plan to attend to be sure. In addition to working with your college counselors you can use MyCreditsTransfer. This is a statewide initiative designed to facilitate college transfers within Illinois using the nationally available tool, Transferology.
Always let your IVCC counselor know where you plan to transfer so they can advise you accurately.
