Thanksgiving and Peak Time

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.

We do our best to make the processing of newly submitted web applications a high priority so that you know what application materials will need to be submitted. However, after submitting your application, please allow a few days before contacting us with regard to your status as online applications may take some time to go through necessary system and manual processes.

Due to the large volume of incoming mail, at times it may take up to two or three weeks for the receipt of application materials to be reflected in your checklist. We appreciate your patience.

Please look to our FAQ, Requirements page and Blog if you have questions, especially during our busy season when a Graduate Admissions Counselor may not be readily available to respond to email or phone inquiries.

We would like to thank you for your interest in UIC and wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving!
