1. MAP 2+2 Pilot Program August 2011

2. Program Overview The MAP 2+2 is designed to complement the 2+2 programs that many schools already offer Students will be admitted to a baccalaureate degree program but attend a community college that has an articulation agreement with the bachelor's degree-granting school and then transfer to the baccalaureate degree-granting institution to complete their degrees 2

3. Program Overview Since the dollar amounts of students’ MAP grants are smaller for attendance at a community college, students will carry forward the difference between the amount that their MAP grant would have been at their bachelor’s degree institution of choice and their community college MAP award. The difference in the award amount for each of the freshman and sophomore years is “saved” and added to the student’s MAP grant for his/her junior and senior years. 3

5. MAP 2+2 Program Goals Transfer rates as high or higher for same community college program Four-year completion rates as good as or better than those who begin a program at bachelor’s degree-issuing school Significantly lower debt levels for students with similar socio-economic characteristics (income, first generation status, gender, race/ethnicity) and academic credentials (ACT score and GPA) in comparable programs at the same school

6. Student Eligibility To be eligible for MAP 2+2, a student must: have been accepted at the baccalaureate degree-granting institution of their choice be MAP eligible and their applications must not be in a suspended status be enrolled in sufficient hours to graduate in four years not have initially accrued more than 15 MAP Paid Credit Hours (MPCH) continue enrollment with the two schools originally chosen A student cannot receive the benefit of the “saved” MAP if he/she attends a baccalaureate degree granting school that was not part of the original agreement after completing the first two years 6

7. Student Eligibility If, after the first 2 years, the student does not meet the eligibility requirements to matriculate to the bachelor’s degree-issuing school, he/she is no longer eligible to participate in the MAP 2+2 pilot. Students’ eligibility will be impacted by all the normal activities in MAP e.g. suspense, shutdown, release, late claims, etc. 7

8. School Eligibility A limited number of institutions were selected to participate in the MAP 2+2 pilot for the 2011-12 school year Participants were chosen from proposals that were submitted to ISAC Schools with the top scores were selected to participate A list of participating schools can be found at collegeillinois.org 8

9. School Agreements Schools are required to complete and submit a MAP 2+2 Participation Agreement Currently in the process of collecting 9

10. Other Program Guidelines The pilot will allow only new freshman each year Participating schools must track each new class separately throughout its years in the program Schools will not be required to track the current year’s appropriation and the “saved” funding MAP 2+2 data will be available via MAPnet Participating schools must report pre-defined data to ISAC on an annual basis 10

11. Calculating MAP Awards for MAP 2+2 Eligibility for MAP 2+2 is determined by the MAP formula which uses FY2004 (2003-04) tuition and fees when calculating costs MAP eligibility is determined by calculating eligibility at the four-year school Current maximum award is $4,968 with a 5% reduction factor applied The effective maximum award for FY2012 is $4,968 x.95 or $4,720. 11

12. MAP 2+2 Award Amounts Because the MAP formula uses FY2004 tuition and fees, it is possible that FY2012 tuition and fees at a community college now exceed the FY2004 tuition and fees at a public university. The process for calculating eligibility for MAP and MAP 2+2, however, does not change. Eligibility is calculated based on the FY2004 tuition and fees at the four-year institution. The eligible amount will be applied to the tuition and fees at the community college. 12

13. Scenario 1: Student fully MAP-eligible at four-year institution w/FY2004 tuition and fees greater than maximum award. 13

14. Scenario 1: Student fully MAP-eligible at four-year institution w/FY2004 tuition and fees greater than maximum award. 14

15. Scenario 1: Student fully MAP-eligible at four-year institution w/FY2004 tuition and fees greater than maximum award. 15

16. Scenario 3: Student fully MAP-eligible at four-year institution w/Public University FY2004 T&F less than FY12 Community College T&F 16

17. Scenario 3: Student fully MAP-eligible at four-year institution w/Public University FY2004 T&F less than FY12 Community College T&F 17

18. Scenario 3: Student fully MAP-eligible at four-year institution w/Public University FY2004 T&F less than FY12 Community College T&F 18

19. Scenario 4: Student partially MAP-eligible at four-year institution w/FY2004 tuition and fees greater than maximum award. 19

20. Scenario 4: Student partially MAP-eligible at four-year institution w/FY2004 tuition and fees greater than maximum award. 20

21. Scenario 4: Student partially MAP-eligible at four-year institution w/FY2004 tuition and fees greater than maximum award. 21

22. MAP 2+2 Award Amounts Will always use the 4-year school’s tuition and fees to calculate eligibility and as the maximum for payment Even if the 2-year school’s T&F is higher A student’s “banked” amounts will be distributed evenly between his/her 3 rd and 4 th years. In the student’s 3 rd and 4 th year, the student will receive the 4-year school’s MAP formula tuition and fees (including any formula reduction) plus the banked amount 22

23. MAP 2+2 Payment Processing MAP 2+2 participating school partnerships were issued MAP budget codes at Recompute to be used for determining student eligibility amounts, processing payment and tracking students throughout the process. The 4-Year’s 2003-04 tuition and fees are being used to determine the budget amount for the MAP 2+2 budget code In FY2012 these budget codes are connected to the 2- year schools for MAPnet processing purposes. It is also anticipated that at the time this cohort of students moves to the 4-year school, these codes will be connected to the 4-year school. 23

24. MAP 2+2 Payment Processing Schools will need to change the MAP budget code individually for each MAP 2+2 student on the Student Detail: Edit MAP Code screen in MAPnet. The eligible amount for a MAP 2+2 student will be calculated based on the MAP 2+2 budget. This amount will appear on the student’s record in MAPnet once the budget codes are changed. 24

29. MAP 2+2 Payment Processing Determine the “payment request amount” for a MAP 2+2 student attending a community college by using either The calculated eligible amount, or The 2011-12 tuition and fee amount charged to the student (per term) based on hours attending up to the calculated eligible amount After determining the “payment request amount” for a MAP 2+2 student, the school may need to manually enter that amount into MAPnet’s Student Detail: Payment screen for submission to ISAC. Or, the school may choose to transmit that amount to ISAC via FTP. 29
