What it requires
- If you are a community college district, before providing a student's direct admissions information and transferable credit hours for the direct admission program, receive the written or electronic consent of the student if the student is 18 years of age or older, or of the student's parent or guardian if the student is younger than 18 (110 ILCS 117/15(f)).
- If you are the Illinois Student Assistance Commission, redisclose a student's direct admissions information only where informed consent to the redisclosure has been given under the School Code, only as needed to administer the direct admission program, and only to the Board of Higher Education, the Illinois Community College Board, the public universities for which the student qualifies, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and the University of Illinois at Chicago where the student qualifies under section 20, the community college district where the student resides and, if applicable, a third party that operates a statewide student application portal (110 ILCS 117/15(l)).
- Do not redisclose direct admissions information to any other entity or individual unless informed consent to the redisclosure has been given under the School Code (110 ILCS 117/15(l)).

What this law does
By July 1 of each year, community college districts must give the Illinois Community College Board access to the direct admissions information of each student who has met the 30-hour transferable credit hour requirement, and the Illinois Community College Board transmits it to the Illinois Student Assistance Commission for the direct admission program.
Before providing a student's direct admissions information and transferable credit hours, each community college district must receive the written or electronic consent of the student if the student is 18 or older, or of the student's parent or guardian if the student is younger than 18.
Where informed consent to redisclosure has been given under the School Code, the Illinois Student Assistance Commission may redisclose a student's direct admissions information, as needed to administer the program, only to the recipients the Act lists, among them a third party that operates a statewide student application portal. Direct admissions information may not be redisclosed to other entities or individuals without that informed consent.
