All public institutions shall participate in the Illinois Articulation Initiative through submission and review of their courses for statewide transfer. All public institutions shall maintain a complete Illinois Articulation Initiative General Education Core Curriculum package, and all public institutions shall submit and maintain up to 4 core courses in each of the Illinois Articulation Initiative majors, provided the public institution has equivalent majors and courses. All public institutions shall provide faculty, as appointed by the Board of Higher Education for public universities and the Illinois Community College Board for public community colleges, to serve on panels in the review of courses.
If, in a given academic year, a public institution does not have an equivalent major, lower-division courses, or both that align with the major panel's descriptors and course approval criteria, then the public institution shall be considered to be compliant with this Section for that academic year, as determined by the Board of Higher Education and the Illinois Community College Board, in coordination with the director of the Illinois Articulation Initiative.
