What’s New Under the Big Top With CAS?
CAS: the next step in providing effective support to transfer students
http://www.transfer.org
CAS is a free service to anyone interested in learning either how
courses will transfer from one institution to another or the degree programs
institutions offer.
CAS is a tool to support Illinois transfer students.
•IAI: a statewide articulation agreement•CAS: a tool to let users learn what IAI, and any other articulation agreements, mean to individual students.
CAS is an information-access tool.
CAS is in use in several
states, and more are
considering adding CAS to their transfer
student support services.

What is CAS?Basic Functions
What is CAS?Academic Programs
Degree Programs Each member institution creates a list of their
degree programs and program requirements. Users can learn what courses are required for each
degree program.
What is CAS?Course Equivalency Guides
Course-to-Course Equivalencies
Each member institution maintains course equivalencies for acceptability of courses at their institution.
What is CAS?Academic Histories
Courses Taken Each member institution
loads their course inventory for users to create and store their personal course histories in CAS.
These courses can then be evaluated against the desired degree program.
What is CAS?Planning Guides
Transfer Course Applicability (how courses apply) Each member institution uses the combination of the Course
Equivalency Guide and the Academic Program to show just how a course will APPLY within each degree program available in CAS.
Color-coded guide shows:completed requirements,outstanding requirements,courses required, equivalent courses at the
cross-listed institution, and
courses taken (as saved in Your Courses).

information regarding services available, such as Admission, Registration, and Financial Aid.

CAS works with IAI
Illinois could set up CAS similar to Ohio. For example, a completed IAI GECC package could automatically trigger the Planning Guide to show that all general education requirements are satisfied.
Phase 1 of the statewide Illinois CAS initiative is currently being implemented.
The state has purchased the license and maintenance for all 12 Illinois public universities.
Illinois Public Universities
Phase 1 Status
NIU & UIC:CAS is fully implemented, including
Planning Guides.
SIUC, UIUC, & WIU:Course Equivalency Guides and other
