Eastern Iowa Community Colleges

General education courses can be taken through our joint admission agreement with Eastern Iowa Community Colleges (EICC). Registering for general education courses through Trinity College will allow you to use Financial Aid funds to cover the cost of these courses and provide you with one tuition payment rather than two. Registering for general education courses through Trinity College will allow these courses to be included in your Trinity College cumulative GPA, rather than as transfer credit.

Use the course cluster guide to determine which courses can be taken at Eastern Iowa Community Colleges: General Education Course Options.
