Assistant Dean Jim Marek Presents a "Primer" for New and Continuing Students

As the beginning of the fall semester approaches, we realize questions might arise about the university, our college or your academic program, as well as with registration or any of the other procedures associated with the start of the academic year. The following list of links should prove useful in answering some of them and provide a glimpse of the many features and services which UIC and CUPPA have to offer. Please take a few minutes to explore this information, and please keep for future reference. Needless to say, should you have any questions to which you can't find answers, do not hesitate to ask! My office and your academic program staff are here to help however we can.
