Student Success Center

The Student Success Center provides advisement to all new and continuing students admitted to Malcolm X College who are interested in earning a certificate or any of the four associate degrees available at this campus. Students can receive information on degree requirements, academic programs and admission to Nursing or one of the other twelve allied health programs. If you students are undecided about a major, career or transfer to a university, the ATSC staff can help them make the right choice. College advisers can administer career interest, personality and other assessments to guide students in the decision-making process.

For those who are interested in transferring to a college or university offering the bachelor’s degree, the ATSC has a wide array of services and resources to assist you.

Students have access to catalogs, applications and course equivalency listings to help facilitate their transition to a four year college or university. Through the services offered, students receive one-on-one advisement from college representatives, visit college campuses and obtain scholarship and admission information. The Center has resource materials to assist students in selecting the appropriate college or university. Staff members follow-up on Advising and Transfer Center users, keeping them abreast of application deadlines, college representative visits, Open Houses, scholarship opportunities, and their progress toward meeting specific admission criteria
for the colleges or universities to which they want to transfer.

Malcolm X College supports the Illinois Articulation Initiative (IAI) described on page ** and the ATSC is your link to using this agreement to make a smooth transition from this college to any of the participating institutions in the state. The ATSC staff will acquaint students with the IAI and explain how to use the agreement to guarantee that their coursework will transfer and apply directly to their bachelor’s degree.

For information on advising and transferring, contact the Advising and Transfer Services Center at 312/850-7185, or visit the Center in Room 1600.
