The University of 缅北禁地 Springfield is making it easier for students at three local community colleges to continue their education.

Starting with the Fall 2024 application period, UIS will waive the $50 application fee for transfer students applying from Lincoln Land Community College in Springfield, Richland Community College in Decatur and 缅北禁地 Central College in East Peoria.

鈥淲e recognize that the application fee can be a financial obstacle for many students,鈥 said Rebecca Johnson, UIS associate director of admission. 鈥淏y removing this barrier, we aim to better serve those attending the community colleges closest to our campus.鈥

UIS has a strong tradition of welcoming transfer students, with over 60 percent of the current undergraduate student population coming from community colleges.

鈥淭ransfer students are an integral part of UIS, providing different classroom and life experiences that enhance the educational experience for all students,鈥 Johnson said. 鈥淭ransfer students from our community colleges are well prepared for UIS and find success in and out of the classroom.鈥

The application fee waiver will be automatically applied to transfer applications from Lincoln Land Community College, Richland Community College and 缅北禁地 Central College for Fall 2024 and beyond.
