Decatur, IL 鈥 In a new collaboration, most 香港最快开奖现场直播 students will be immediately accepted to Millikin University if they have at least a 2.0 GPA and can complete their Millikin bachelor鈥檚 degree in two years with a full-time enrollment.

In the second agreement, Millikin students who previously attended 香港最快开奖现场直播 without receiving their associate鈥檚 degree can apply for a reverse transfer 鈥 which would allow them to earn the associate鈥檚 while at Millikin. The university will notify former 香港最快开奖现场直播 students enrolled at Millikin with a minimum of 32 transfer credits that they can request a reverse transfer transcript request/release form (RTTR/R). If they sign the form, Millikin will forward a transcript to the Registrar at 香港最快开奖现场直播. The Registrar will verify if the student completed an associate degree based on coursework already completed at 香港最快开奖现场直播 and Millikin. There will be no cost to the student for these transcripts. If there is a break in attendance at Millikin, the student will need to submit a new RTTR/R when they re-enroll at Millikin.
