College of Lake County issued the following announcement on Oct. 18
College of Lake County (CLC) students have another accessible opportunity to continue their education close to home thanks to a new guaranteed transfer admission partnership with North Park University (NPU). Students transferring to NPU will receive personalized counseling and academic planning to ensure a seamless transition.
“It’s really about how students come to us, their access point, and how they exit from us either to their rewarding career, or to a transfer university of their choice, while creating good access to universities and ensuring their success when they get there,” said CLC President Dr. Lori Suddick.
After meeting the requirements, students will be eligible to transfer into 24 traditional undergraduate degree programs or five accelerated undergraduate degree programs sponsored through NPU’s School of Professional Studies.
“We've created a great seamless pathway for meaningful, relevant degrees students can transition into,” Dr. Suddick said, “It's always a benefit to have guaranteed transfer opportunities for students with partners like North Park who are as deeply committed about doing the right thing for students as we are.”
NPU and CLC have had a strong connection in the past, with over 300 former CLC students completing their undergraduate degrees at NPU in the last five years.
“This is an agreement that will further formalize and expand upon the long standing and excellent relationship in education and success for our students,” said NPU President Mary K. Surridge. “This guaranteed admissions agreement and generous financial aid will help us extend this educational benefit to even more of our students, whether they come to us as traditional undergraduates or through the School of Professional Studies.”
Like CLC, NPU is a Hispanic Serving Institution, dedicated to serving diverse student populations and preparing future leaders to contribute in the workforce bringing fresh perspectives, creativity, and innovation.
