Sauk Valley Community College at Augustana

Sauk Valley Community College

Each year students transfer to Augustana from community colleges all over Illinois. Your advisors at Sauk Valley Community College, in partnership with advising at Augustana, can make that a smooth process.

Augustana is a great school for transfers

The friendly Midwestern campus, low student-faculty ratio and one-on-one advising makes Augustana a great choice for transfer students seeking a top education.

SVCC signs agreement with Augustana College

Sauk Valley Community College (SVCC) has entered into an agreement with Augustana College to enhance and expand opportunities for students enrolled at SVCC. This agreement allows students enrolling at SVCC with the intention of completing an associate of arts program to apply to Augustana at the same time.

Augustana is affordable

Scholarships

Our priority is making an Augustana education accessible. Transfer scholarships range from $21,000 to $28,000 each year, based on academic success.

There is no additional application for scholarships — your admissions transfer team automatically will consider your application for merit scholarships.

Augustana Possible

The Augustana Possible program is designed to meet 100% of demonstrated financial need for qualifying high-achieving students — including transfers — from families with lower incomes.

Sauk Valley Scholar Award

In recognition of our partnership with Sauk Valley Community College, we've established the Sauk Valley Scholar award, a $1,500 scholarship for SVCC graduates. The scholarship is renewable each year you're enrolled full-time.

Augustana makes the transfer process easy

The transfer process from Illinois colleges is easy because Augustana is a member of the Illinois Articulation Initiative (IAI). But whatever path you've taken so far, there's a place for you here. You'll find the support you need to achieve your goals.

Check your credits - Transfer Equivalency System

The transfer process from Sauk Valley Community College is especially easy because of our Augustana Next partnership between the schools.

Augustana Next means that you’re immediately eligible to work with an Augustana faculty advisor and you’ll enter Augustana as a junior with all of your general education distribution requirements automatically completed when you complete your A.A.
