The 2 Plus 2 Graduation Guarantee Plan is for forward thinking NCC students who plan to transfer to the University of Iowa. This program is similar to the University of Iowa’s four year graduation plan for incoming first year students. You can save time and money while staying close to home for your first two years of college before transferring as a junior to UI. Students sign up to be in the program. You must meet graduation checkpoints for select majors during your first two years at NCC and during your final two years at the UI. The university will track, communicate, and advise you each semester.

How do I enroll?

• Complete a 2 Plus 2 Agreement http://www.uiowa.edu/2plus2/apply/index.html before having earned more than 30 semester hours of credit.
• Send the University of Iowa Office of Admissions, 107 Calvin Hall, Iowa City, IA 52242 an official high
school transcript.

What happens after I sign up?

• 2 Plus 2 students will be coded and tracked in the UI student information system. You will be provided a hawk-id and password, and a degree evaluation that is updated each semester.
• The UI will send you a welcome letter telling you to send the UI a high school transcript.
• The UI will contact the community college to verify your enrollment each semester. Students enrolled in
the plan will be required to authorize, as a condition of the program, NCC to send transcripts to the UI
upon university request each semester. Transcripts will be used for academic purposes and to verify
progress on the 2 Plus 2 Plan.
• The UI will inform you how to access privileges.
• The UI will call you each semester to advise you regarding class schedule, checkpoints, etc.
