| Abstract: | This report presents the background and history of community college role in baccalaureate access in Illinois from 1901 to the present and describes the role of the Baccalaureate Access Task Force, which commenced its work in December 2004. The Baccalaureate Access Task Force was charged with examining the extent of the baccalaureate access issues in Illinois, examining options for addressing any issues that are identified during the examination, and making recommendations to the Illinois Community College Board (ICCB) and the Illinois Board of Higher Education (IBHE) on what the Illinois community college position should be related to baccalaureate degree access. The Task Force examined appropriate mechanisms to increase baccalaureate access in Illinois as they pertain to off-campus university completion programs, electronic (online) degree completion options, dual admission enrollment, and expanded degree granting authority. The Task Force believes the most plausible way to maintain and enhance access to baccalaureate degree completion for community college students is to support and increase cooperative efforts between Illinois baccalaureate-degree granting institutions and community colleges. The Task Force recommends (1) the strengthening and expanding existing articulation efforts and transfer approaches (e.g. the Illinois Articulation Initiative (IAI), articulation agreements, dual admission agreements) for all community college students including those in transfer and career and technical education programs; and (2) encouraging the expansion and enhancement of more recent efforts to facilitate transfer. The Task Force concludes that there are unmet needs within the state of Illinois that call for action. It urges all institutions of higher education in the state to recognize the necessity of meeting the needs for baccalaureate access and to accept their responsibility in addressing the needs. The Task Force further urges the ICCB and the IBHE to endorse the recommendations contained within this report and to work with the General Assembly and Governor's office to assist in implementing them as soon as possible. |
