Amends various Acts relating to the governance of public universities and community colleges in Illinois. Provides that, in determining whether an individual is an Illinois resident, if the individual enrolls or attains credits at a public or private elementary school in this State, a public or private high school in this State, an adult school organized under the Public Community College Act, or a community college campus organized under the Public Community College Act, or either graduated from a public or private high school or received the equivalent of a high school diploma in this State, attained an associate degree from a community college campus organized under the Public Community College Act, or fulfilled the minimum transfer requirements established by the college for students transferring from a campus of a community college organized under the Public Community College Act, then the individual can qualify as a resident (instead of requiring that the individual resided with his or her parent or guardian while attending a public or private high school in this State or graduated from a public or private high school or received the equivalent of a high school diploma in this State). Removes the requirement that the individual must attend school in this State for at least 3 years as of the date the individual graduated from high school or received the equivalent of a high school diploma to qualify as an Illinois resident.
