Southeast Community College and University of Nebraska–Lincoln announced On Course, guaranteeing admission to UNL for SCC associate degree holders.

Southeast Community College and the University of Nebraska–Lincoln announced On Course on Friday at SCC's Lincoln Campus. The partnership guarantees admission to UNL for SCC associate degree graduates. According to SCC, On Course has more than 50 guaranteed pathways mapped course-by-course between the two institutions.

Under the agreement, a student who earns an associate degree at SCC with a 2.0 grade point average is guaranteed admission to UNL without competitive review. The guarantee applies to technical and applied degrees as well as academic transfer degrees. The partnership addresses a gap both institutions identified independently. Around 2,500 SCC students report transferring to a four-year institution as their goal, but over the past three years, only 475 SCC students enrolled at UNL.

Dr Paul Illich, SCC president, said: 'A student who is ready for a bachelor's degree should not lose that degree somewhere between two institutions that both want them to finish it. On Course is how we close that gap.' Katherine Ankerson, interim UNL chancellor, said students from SCC 'do well once they get here' and the partnership makes widely available what has previously been true for individual students. SCC said On Course directly addresses Nebraska's workforce shortages by aligning SCC's credentials with high-demand bachelor's degrees.
