When to Register

New Undergraduate

New undergraduate students will register for the fall and spring semesters as part of the New Student Orientation Program, which is conducted during the summer months. New undergraduate students will receive information in the mail telling them how to reserve places in summer orientation sessions.

New Graduate

If you are a new, degree seeking graduate student, you will receive advising information from your department.

Continuing Students

All eligible continuing students will be able to view their time ticket (appointment to register) on the web in mid March for April registration for summer and fall courses. Time tickets are available on the web in mid October for November registration for spring courses. Students in certain Health Sciences professional colleges may receive other registration information from their colleges.

Visiting/Summer Session Students

If you are NOT a UIC student but you are an undergraduate at another college or university and are interested in taking courses at UIC in the summer, you will need to complete a Summer Session Only Application. You can apply directly online on the Summer Session web site at www.summer.uic.edu. Additional application information is also available through the Summer Session Office - (312) 996-9099 or (800) 625-2013. Once admitted, you can register online through the Student Self-Service system (available via "Web for Student" from the "Quick Links" menu on the UIC Home Page). You do this during the Open Registration Period, which begins late April. Note: For students who choose not to, or are unable to, provide a social security number (SSN), a 9 digit Temporary Control Number (TCN) will be assigned and noted in your letter of admission. This number should be used in place of the SSN for student account setup purposes.

  • Sophomores 30 through 59
  • Juniors 60 through 89
  • Seniors 90-hour minimum

Courses Numbering

Courses:

From 001-099: They contribute toward the calculation of tuition, full- or part-time enrollment status, and financial aid eligibility. Grades for these courses are not calculated in the grade point average, nor do these courses carry credit towards graduation.

From 100-199: Open to all undergraduates, particularly first year students.

From 200-299: Intended for sophomores, juniors and seniors who have completed 100-level prerequisites.

From 300-399: Intended for juniors and seniors, and sophomores who have completed 200-level prerequisites.

All students unable to enroll during advance registration must register during the Late Registration and Drop/Add period which extends until the second Friday of fall and spring, the first Wednesday of Summer Session 1 or the first Friday of Summer Session 2.

Late Registration after Online Drop/Add Period

Students are not ordinarily permitted to register after the second Friday of fall and spring, the first Wednesday of Summer Session 1 or first Friday of Summer Session 2. In extreme cases, students may petition their college to register after this date (but no later than the end of the instructional term). A $50.00 late fee is assessed.

Adding Classes after First Week

The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (LAS) restricts entry into classes after the first week of the fall and spring term, regardless of whether the class is still available. Students are advised to check with the course instructor teaching the class before enrolling. In addition, all pre-requisite requirements for course registration must be met by enrolling students.

Eligibility to Register

Currently enrolled continuing students are eligible to register during advance registration. Information about registration will be sent in an email notification to students. Students who are continuing but not currently enrolled are eligible to register beginning with the Open Registration period. Readmitted students will receive registration information along with their notices of readmission.

You are NOT ELIGIBLE to register if you:

  • Have lost continuing status (i.e., have not attended for two or more semesters in succession, excluding summer session or approved leave of absence).
  • Were dropped by your college or the University for poor scholarship or disciplinary reasons.
  • Have a financial indebtedness to the University.
  • Failed to satisfy the requirements of the Illinois Proof of Immunity Law.
  • Have any other academic or administrative hold that precludes registration.

top of page top of page

Holds

If you have a hold on your records, you may not register or, in many cases, obtain transcripts until that hold is cleared with the office imposing the hold. A hold may be imposed for financial indebtedness to the University (i.e., unpaid tuition and fees, unpaid library fines), reasons pertaining to unmet financial aid obligations, academic or disciplinary reasons, or an incomplete Medical Immunization Record. If you have not cleared your holds before the start of Advance Registration, your registration will not be accepted until the hold is cleared!

Advising Hold

An advising hold may be placed on your record if you are in a college that requires advising prior to registration. You must complete an advising session before your college will clear you to enroll.

Financial Hold

Your registration will not be processed if you are indebted to the University. You may verify your account balance, and hold status by dialing (312) 996-8574 or visiting "Account Billing Information" section within the web self-service system. You may also verify your account balance by visiting the Student Accounts Receivable Office located in Room 1900 SSB.
You may clear a financial hold by paying your bill at three student payment locations:

  1. Cashiers Office, Room 116, Marshfield Building, 809 South Marshfield Avenue. Hours: 8:45 am - 4:00 pm
  2. Main entrance of the Student Services Building.
  3. 1st Floor of the Marshfield Bldg., across from the Cashiers Office.

Depositories are accessible during normal building hours. Payment should be made by check or money order. ALLOW THREE BUSINESS DAYS for the payment to be posted and your financial hold removed. DO NOT DEPOSIT CASH!
If you have questions regarding your statement, you may contact Accounts Receivable, (312) 996-8574 or visit our office located in Room 1900 SSB. Staff can clear a financial hold once you present a receipt, proof of payment, or proof of pending financial aid.

Immunization Hold

Illinois state law mandates that all students born on or after January 1, 1957, entering a post secondary institution, are required to present documented proof of immunity against measles, mumps, rubella, tetanus, and diphtheria as a prerequisite to registration. Students in the health professions colleges are also required to provide proof of immunity against polio and tuberculosis.

An immunization hold will be placed on your record if you are not properly immunized and have not submitted a written statement of medical or religious exemption. You will not be permitted to register until you have cleared the medical immunization hold. To clear the hold, you must submit a comprehensive immunization record, certified by a health care provider, to the Office of Medical Immunization Records prior to your appointed registration day.

Students registering only for off-campus courses or for no more than five credit hours are temporarily exempt from the immunization requirements. Prior to registering for on-campus courses or for more than five credit hours, students must submit proof of immunity or secure an approved medical or religious exemption.

Questions pertaining to acceptable proof of immunity may be directed to:

Office of Medical Immunization Records
Student Services Building, Room 1300, First Floor
1200 W. Harrison Street
Box 5220 (MC 018), Chicago, Illinois 60680-5220
(312) 413-0464
8:30 am-5:00 pm, Monday through Friday

International Student Hold

An International Student Hold is placed on your record if you are a new International Student. Only by checking in with the Office of International Services (OIS) will you be cleared to enroll for classes. OIS is located in 2160 Student Services Building (SSB).

New Student Hold (LAS)

The College of Liberal Arts and sciences (LAS) has mandatory freshmen advising in place for all of its first year students. All LAS students, who are in their first year of enrollment, are affected and must consult an LAS academic counselor before they will be able to register.

Placement Tests

Placement tests are required for admission to introductory courses in mathematics, chemistry, composition, and foreign languages. These tests are included in the Pre-enrollment Evaluation Program (PEP) administered to newly admitted UIC students. Students (1) who did not take the required tests during the PEP testing, or (2) whose placement test results have expired (consult the specific department) are required to take the tests prior to registering for these courses. Consult the Online Class Schedule to determine whether a specific course requires a placement test. Students required to take more than one placement test may need to attend more than one testing session. Students who have not taken placement tests will be able to take placement tests through the Office of Testing Services.

top of page top of page

Enterprise ID and Password

An Enterprise ID and Password are required to register. Newly admitted students should claim their Enterprise IDs and Passwords well in advance of registering. New students should refer to instructions provided through the UIC personalized information gateway, called UIC Connect, at http://connect.osss.uic.edu. Information on how to access UIC Connect is also provided to new students along with their admission packets. Claiming the Enterprise ID and Password allows students to access a range of services, including the following: submitting the Intent-to-Enroll online, reserving a place in a New Student Orientation Program (for undergraduates), and accessing Student Self Service, the registration, records and billing access system for students at UIC.

To access online registration go to Enterprise Application Login page at http://apps.uillinois.edu, select Student & Faculty Self-Service, and then select University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC).

Intercampus Registration

Intent of the Program

The intent of the Intercampus Registration Program is to allow students at one campus of the University the opportunity to take advantage of experiences unique to another campus of the University without having to transfer. It is not designed to replace concurrent enrollment or transfer. The program also provides for summer enrollment at another University campus.

How the program works

If a student is interested in participating in the program the student should:

  1. Obtain information on the availability of the desired course(s) at the host campus. Assistance may be obtained from the following people:
    • UIC: George G. Munley, Associate Registrar, Registration and Records, 1264 Student Services Building, (312) 996-4397
    • UIS: Brian Clevenger, Registrar, Admissions & Records, SAB 20, (217) 206-6174
    • UIUC: Molingo Bokamba, Registration Services, Admissions & Records Office, 901 W. Illinois Street, (217) 333-6613
  2. Obtain a copy of the Intercampus Registration application form (pdf). The form may also be obtained from your Registrar's Office listed above.
  3. Complete the Intercampus Registration application form (pdf) and obtain a signature of authorization from home college Dean. The Dean should review the proposed courses and approve their transfer.
  4. Submit the completed, signed form to the Registrar's Office on the home campus by the appropriate deadline. Deadlines are May 15 for summer intercampus enrollment**; August 15 for the fall term; and December 15 for the spring term. **NOTE: For students attending UIC Summer Session, application deadlines vary: May 14 for the Four-Week Session, June 6 for the Eight-Week Session.
  5. Provide a permanent, valid mailing address on the application, so that the host campus can provide the notification of acceptance information about how and when to register, and other necessary information to the student.
  6. Clear all encumbrances at the home campus prior to the start of the term at the host campus. Failure to do so will result in cancellation of the registration.
  7. Note that financial aid for students participating in the Intercampus Registration Program will take longer to process. Aid for students registered for fall or spring terms will not be available until the fourth or fifth week of the term. Aid for the summer term will not be available until late June or early July. Notify the Financial Aid Office on the home campus of plans to enroll at the host campus so that financial aid will continue.
  8. Notify the home campus Financial Aid Office of any withdrawal or reduction in your course load at the host campus. Such changes may result in reduced financial aid eligibility. Failure to do so will result in having to repay the home campus Financial Aid Office for aid received above that appropriate for the load taken.
  9. Follow the refund policies of the host campus, since billing and refunds will be done through the host campus.

Concurrent Multi-campus Registration

The Concurrent Registration program is intended to allow UIC students to enroll for courses during a given semester on more than one campus of the University of Illinois. The approval process originates in the student's own department/college. Information and forms for concurrent registration are available through the UIC Office of Registration and Records.

Withdrawal to Enter U.S. Military Service Due to National Emergency

Students who have been called to military duty or who anticipate being called up due to national emergency are entitled to certain rights as defined by the University Senate. Undergraduate students who have to withdraw during a semester are entitled to a full refund of tuition and fees (Note that refunds for certain fees such as Parking may be prorated. Students living in University residences will receive a prorated refund for room and board based upon the last date in residence, following withdrawal from the University). If the withdrawal occurs after the twelfth week of the semester, undergraduate students are entitled, without examination, to receive full credit for each course in which they have attained a standing of "C" or better at the time of withdrawal. Grades reported below a "C" are recorded as "W" (withdrawn). Graduating seniors in their last semester who qualify for full credit, upon completion of the 12th week of the term, may be recommended for the degree at the discretion of their college and major departments. Affected students should contact their colleges for details. Deployments during Summer Session will be handled in a pro-rated manner.

Graduate students are entitled to refunds similar to undergraduate students. However, if a graduate student has to withdraw after the twelfth week, s/he may arrange for I or DF grades if deemed academically appropriate. Students should contact their colleges for details. Activated students in professionally accredited programs should also consult with their colleges to determine if they are eligible to receive credit consideration.

Students who are called up for military service should begin the withdrawal process in their colleges, Veteran's Affairs (Student Financial Aid), or the Office of Registration and Records. To receive a refund, students who withdraw are required to present copies of their activation orders. Withdrawing students are advised that federal and state financial aid regulations and scholarship conditions may affect tuition and fee refund amounts. Students with aid and award questions should contact the Office of Student Financial Aid. Full details on this University Policy are available in college offices, Veteran's Affairs (Student Financial Aid), and the Office of Registration and Records.
