(110 ILCS 805/3-17) (from Ch. 122, par. 103-17)
Sec. 3-17.
The community college districts shall admit all students
qualified to
complete any one of their programs including general education, transfer,
occupational, technical, and terminal, as long as space for effective
instruction is available. After entry, the college shall counsel and
distribute the students among its programs according to their interests and
abilities. Students allowed entry in college transfer programs must have
ability and competence similar to that possessed by students admitted to
state universities for similar programs. Entry level competence to such
college transfer programs may be achieved through successful completion of
other preparatory courses offered by the college. If space is not available
for all students applying, the community college will accept those best
qualified, using rank in class and ability and achievement tests as guides,
and shall give preference to students residing in the district unless the
district has entered into a contractual agreement for the mutual exchange
of students with another community college district, in which case, equal
enrollment preference may be granted to students residing in such
contracting districts.
A student who has graduated from high school and has scored within the
community college's accepted range on the ACT or SAT shall not be required to
take a high school equivalency test as a prerequisite
to
admission.
