OFF CAMPUS EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES


DISTRICT #117
Jacksonville School District #117, offers ISVI student's the opportunity to participate in their educational programming. These classes may include but not be limited to foreign language classes, sociology, and psychology. Due to the number of items to be taken into consideration when attempting to place a student in a District #117 class, all student referrals are handled on an individual basis. While every feasible attempt will be made to enroll referred students within designated classes, placement is not guaranteed.

ISVI students attending District #117 classes during ISVI's educational school day will be provided transportation to and from the ISVI campus. ISVI day students who reside within the District #117 area are expected to attend their district class and provide their own transportation on days district classes are in session but ISVI will not be in session. In the event a district class meets prior to the start of the ISVI educational day, all students residing at home within District #117 are to provide their own transportation to their district class on a daily basis.


LINCOLN LAND COMMUNITY COLLEGE
ISVI works in conjunction with LLCC's Western Region Education Center at Jacksonville to provide information to assist qualifying students in the following areas: application for admission process, placement testing information and assistance. Admission to Lincoln Land Community College shall be open to ISVI Seniors and Fifth year seniors, age 18 or older, who can benefit from any of the programs offered at LLCC and have fulfilled graduation/IEP requirements. ISVI is not responsible for student financial assistance or transportation to and from LLCC classes. All students must seek ISVI administrative approval prior to enrolling in a LLCC class.

ISVI students desiring to enroll in any credit-bearing course need to be assessed in English, mathematics and reading unless they present appropriate ACT/SAT scores or previous academic experience that waives placement testing. The college and the student accept responsibility for placement of the student in courses and programs for which the student demonstrates academic preparedness. For a student who initially does not demonstrate preparedness for college-level work, the college reserves the right to restrict access to certain courses and programs.

ISVI students interested in attending LLCC need to start the process for admission through the Guidance Office no less than 8 weeks prior to his/her first day. Students and Parent/Guardians seeking further information concerning ISVI's LLCC policy should contact the ISVI Principal, (217) 479-4437 or Guidance Counselor, (217) 479-4438.
