Application to Pathway Program

The DACC Pathway to Illinois program is an opportunity for qualifying Danville Area Community College students to gain guaranteed admission to specific correlating majors at the University of Illinois Champaign-Urbana and, while preparing to transfer, to integrate their time as full-time DACC students with resources at Illinois".

  • Students must enroll in the DACC Pathway to Illinois program by the time 30 graded hours have been earned at the community college. **
  • * Guaranteed Admission will be offered to participating students to an Illinois major if all requirements have been met as posted in the Transfer Handbook: www.transferhandbook.illinois.edu. The competitiveness of admission to certain programs will depend on the quality of the applicant pool, which may vary from year to year.
