ICCAROO

Illinois Community College Admissions

And Records Officers Organization

• Provides a vehicle for better communication among Illinois community college admissions and records officers.
• Provides a forum for discussing common issues uniquely related to the functions performed by Illinois community college admissions and records officers.
• Fosters the professional development of admissions and records personnel in public Illinois community colleges.

ICCAROO was officially formed in 1973 so public Illinois community college admissions and records officers would have a forum to voice mutual concerns, share ideas, improve communications and provide for professional development. A constitution was adopted and a full slate of officers was elected in 1975. Details about the history, past presidents, past meetings, and constitution are available on this website.

ICCAROO institutional membership is open to professionals employed by an Illinois public community college who have the responsibility for some functional aspect of admissions and/or records and are interested in the organization’s activities.

Dues for 2007-2008 are $40 per year per college. Each college would identify the primary contact in admissions and records to act as the institutional member. There is no additional charge for individual professional members. There is no limit to the number of members representing an institution.

Institutional Membership form

Each term the ICCAROO Enrollment Flash gives the latest enrollment figures at community colleges across the state. The Flash is an excellent resource which gives up-to-date enrollment comparisons across the state on a timely basis. Access ICCAROO Enrollment Flash instructions here.

A "Birds of a Feather" in-depth discussion session is arranged prior to the annual Illinois Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (IACRAO) Conference. Members are encouraged to share issues, concerns, and conduct informal and formal surveys and research.

The ICCAROO listserve is an excellent resource to help search out answers to questions, procedures and general information. All of this is available with a simple "click"! To join the listserve, send a message to Cheri.VanMeter@illinois.gov. To send a message to the listserve, send a message to iccaroo@iccb.state.il.us

ICCAROO offers several professional development opportunities. Members are encouraged to take advantage of leadership development by participating as an officer on the board of directors. There are also opportunities to participate as a presenter at annual conferences.

An ICCAROO member is elected as our representative to attend the Illinois Council of Community College Administrators (ICCCA) meetings. Our representative is on the ICCCA Executive Committee and is the Admissions and Records Commission Representative for ICCCA activities and issues.

Conferences

Conferences are held three times a year—fall, spring and summer. The fall meeting is held in conjunction with the annual IACRAO conference. The spring meeting is a time for renewal and sharing which is hosted by community colleges throughout the state. The summer meeting has built in time for fun and relaxation, as well as professional development. Summer meetings are held where recreation can be part of the agenda along with enjoying the good times, with a special group of highly effective ICCAROOans. Business meetings are held three times a year at the time of each conference.
