What is IAI?

Danville Area Community College is a participant in the Illinois Articulation Initiative (IAI), a statewide agreement that allows transfer of the completed Illinois General Education Core Curriculum between participating institutions.

Make sure to apply

DACC requires students to “apply” to graduate for a certificate or degree. Current students, or students who have attended the college in the last year, should submit their Application to Graduate by following the instructions below.

When to start applying

Spring graduates apply in August
Summer graduates apply in March
Fall graduates apply in June

Please note: It is never too late! DACC is always happy to affirm certificates and degrees. Many students even transfer credit hours back (from two-year or four-year colleges) to complete a certificate/degree that they started at DACC. If you have any questions, please call the Records Office (information listed below).
