ILLINOIS CENTRAL COLLEGE OFFERING “EXPRESS ENROLLMENT” May 23-25 FOR SUMMER AND FALL 2016 CLASSES

Illinois Central College will offer “Express Enrollment” Monday through Wednesday, May 23, 24, and 25 from 8 am to 4 pm, on the East Peoria Campus. Those interested in enrolling at ICC can complete the process of applying and enrolling in just one day. No appointment is necessary, and free parking is available in Lots A and B and in the Visitors Lot. Classes for the summer semester begin Monday, June 6, and fall classes begin Monday, August 15.

“Express Enrollment” can be completed in just a few hours’ time. Participants are encouraged to arrive by 1 pm in order to complete all of the steps leading to enrollment in one day. For advising or testing completion only, participants must arrive by 2 pm.

               The process includes: Completing and processing an ICC application, completing placement testing, meeting with an advisor to develop a class schedule, filling out financial aid paperwork and setting up a payment plan, and getting an official ICC identification card.

Potential students should fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) three days prior to coming on campus. ICC Financial Assistance staff is available to answer questions about completing the FAFSA.

In order to complete all of the steps of admission and enrollment, participants should be prepared to bring the following items with them:

·        A valid photo ID (driver’s license, passport, military ID, or other government issued ID).

• Check book or credit card to set up a payment plan.
• In addition, potential students wishing to fill out a FAFSA also should bring with them: previous year’s tax transcripts issued by the IRS, W-2 forms and current bank statements. (If the participant is aged 24 or younger, the parents’ social security cards, previous year’s tax transcripts, W-2 forms and current bank statements also are necessary.)

“Express Enrollment” is provided on a first come, first-served basis. The total time needed to complete all of the steps depends on the participant’s individual needs. Advisors will be available to help students wishing to enroll on a full-time basis (12 hours or more) in most majors and those students wishing to enroll on a part-time basis. However, follow up appointments with an advisor may be necessary in some cases. Some programs require restricted enrollment; therefore, only general education or prerequisite courses will be available to students interested in those programs.

For those interested in financial assistance, ICC still has scholarships available for the 2016-2017 academic year. To be eligible for the scholarships, students must first apply to ICC online at http://icc.edu/admissions/enrollment/apply-now/. Remaining scholarships will be listed online after July 15 for 2016-17 at http://icc.edu/admissions/scholarships/remaining-scholarships/
