Cooperative Agreements

Working cooperatively with other Illinois two-year colleges, Illinois Central College participates in the Comprehensive Agreement Regarding the Expansion of Education Resources. The intent of this agreement is to expand the career and technical education programs that are provided to students within District 514, as well as offer our programs to Illinois students from outside District 514.

The Career Agreement reduces the student’s tuition obligation to the current in-district rate of the receiving institution.

The agreement works in two ways:

  1. A District 514 student can enroll in a career and technical education curriculum (program) that is not offered by Illinois Central College but is offered by a participating two-year college.
  2. A non-District 514 student can enroll at ICC in a career and technical education curriculum (program) not offered by their home community college district.
