Online Application Process

Paper Application Process

 

 

FOR APPLICANTS USING THE ONLINE APPLICATION PROCESS:

The online GPPA application process has three parts – the UIC Undergraduate application, the GPPA Supplemental application, and the download and submission of all additional materials needed.  Please follow the steps carefully.

STEPS:
1.  Complete and submit your online UIC Undergraduate Freshman application at the following link: http://www.uic.edu/depts/oar/undergrad/apply_undergrad.html

2.  Please check the Application Status Page to insure that your Undergraduate application is in process before proceeding to the GPPA Supplemental Application process.  (Note that it is best to wait 24 – 48 hours before submitting the GPPA Supplemental Application.)

3.  Read all of the GPPA FAQ, GPPA Information, and online application directions at the following link: http://www.uic.edu/depts/oar/undergrad_gppa/apply_online_gppa.html

4.  Complete the online GPPA Supplemental Application.  PLEASE NOTE:  The GPPA Supplemental Application serves as both an application to the GPPA program and to the Honors College. (For those programs for which the Honors College is optional you are asked to check a box indicating your interest in the Honors College.)

5.  Once submitted, print out the Application Signature Page and complete the steps noted there.

6.  Download forms to request the following additional materials required:
            Official High School Transcripts
            Letters of Recommendation (Three are required.)

8.  Pay the application fee of $40 made payable to the University of Illinois at Chicago for your UIC Undergraduate Application. There is no additional fee for the GPPA Supplemental Application.

Special Projects Unit (MC 018)
Office of Admissions and Records

10.  Insure that you have sent ACT/SAT Test Scores to UIC.  (Your application will be considered incomplete until UIC receives your test scores.)
