Graduate

While your academic department cannot officially admit you to the university, they can recommend you for admission. This just means that the department is making a recommendation to the Graduate College that you be admitted. Your admission must then be approved by the Graduate College before a decision can be placed on your file.*

Following your recommendation, you can expect to be notified of your decision within a few weeks via postal mail. Keep in mind it can take longer during peak processing times.
Thank you for your patience!

If you have already been admitted to UIC for the Fall 2010 term and need a place to live, NOW is the time to start looking at Campus Housing! Campus Housing at UIC offers several types of living styles, including special housing for graduate students.

Graduate Housing is perfect for students who might be living on a tight budget and enjoy having everything they need in one centralized location. There are several advantages to living on-campus such as a lessened commute to classes and easy access to campus facilities. On-campus living also allows the student to meet other graduate students and faculty to network, form study groups, etc.

More information about Graduate Housing can be found on the UIC Campus Housing website (http://www.housing.uic.edu/).

Have you noticed a hold on your account?

A hold is placed on student accounts when issues need to be resolved on various parts of campus. There are a number of holds that can be placed on accounts to prevent registration, etc., so it is important to learn what type of hold is on your account and to contact that department/office directly to get the issue taken care of.

This Thursday and Friday, November 26th and 27th, the Office of Admissions will be closed for the Thanksgiving holiday.

For us, the Thanksgiving holiday marks the beginning of our office’s peak time. During the winter months we receive the bulk of the applications and materials for the following Fall semester.

In the Admissions Office we understand a student’s anticipation regarding their admissions decision. We also realize that you may worry if all of your required documents have been received in our office and want to verify with an Admissions Counselor. However you can imagine that we receive numerous amounts of emails and documents on a daily basis, and unfortunately we cannot personally notify each applicant to let them know that their documents have been received.
