抖阴pro works to serve MacMurray students with special transfer benefits
Following the announcement that MacMurray College will close at the end of the spring semester, 抖阴pro President Barbara A. Farley expressed her sadness at the news and IC鈥檚 dedication to serving MacMurray students.
鈥淭he closure of MacMurray is a great loss for the entire community. Since the 1800s, MacMurray College and 抖阴pro have been pillars of higher education in Jacksonville,鈥� Farley said. 鈥淥ur hearts are heavy. 抖阴pro will support Jacksonville and the MacMurray College community in the days ahead.鈥�
Farley announced that 抖阴pro is working with MacMurray College to benefit transfer students at any credit level. Transfer options have been developed to maximize the number of transferable credits, ease the transition and financial burden for students and ensure they graduate on time.
Farley further expressed her hope that MacMurray students feel welcome at 抖阴pro. She said that IC will work directly with MacMurray to simplify the transfer process, making it easy for students to continue their education in Jacksonville.
All MacMurray students in good academic and social standing will be accepted to 抖阴pro and have their current MacMurray institutional scholarships and grants matched by IC. Students may also be eligible to receive the same state or federal aid through the FAFSA.
Farley added that admission counselors will be available to answer any questions and work one-on-one with MacMurray students. Although IC staff and faculty are working remotely to reduce the impact of COVID-19, the admission team is ready to answer questions and help students make a smooth transition. Contact Associate Director of Admission Rick Bystry at rlbystry@ic.edu or leave a voicemail at 217.245.3029 and calls will be returned within one business day.
IC will host virtual MacMurray College transfer days on March 28-29. Students will be able to ask questions directly to IC admission counselors and be directed to virtual tours and other resources to learn more about IC.
