Thanks.

Yeah, I skimmed over some things on the internet that mentioned all of the states that allow undocumented students to enroll under in-state tuition.

Tuition payments in increments would be extremely helpful and the community college I currently attend utilizes this method but I'm not sure if any 4-year institutions in Illinois offer it.

In regards to requesting transcripts to be sent to other colleges, have you ever encountered any problems with transcript request forms? On my CC's website, it states that you are required to mail them a copy of your driver's license or state ID along with the transcript request form to complete the process of sending transcripts. As far as I know, I'm unable to obtain either of those documents.
