PROCEDURES
APPLICATION FOR PARTNERSHIP
WITH
ILLINOIS VALLEY COMMUNITY COLLEGE
Definition of "Partner" to Qualify for Partnership Status:
A partner is an organization whose mission, vision and practices closely reflects IVCC's mission, vision and
valued practices as stated on the Application for Partnership form.
Once given partnership status, that status will continue from year to year unless the organization's mission,
vision, and practices change to conflict with those of IVCC.
Partners will be invoiced for support services but will not be charged for facility use unless the event is large in
scope.
If an organization is interested in partnering with IVCC, it must fill out the attached application form. The
application will be forwarded to all members of the Partnership Committee who will either recommend or not
recommend it for partnership based upon IVCC’s mission statement, vision and valued practices.
Once approved, partnerships will carry over from year to year without renewal unless there is a change in the
organization’s overall description and mission.
If the partnership is NOT recommended, the organization can appeal the decision directly to the President’s
Council.
