Application Process:

IIE collects applications and after review and screening, contacts the U.S. institutions points of contact to request admission on behalf of the students.

The following documents are attached for each student:

1.    Common Application,

2.    Transcripts,

3.    IELTS or TOEFL score report,

4.    Letter(s) of Recommendation,

5. List of intended courses to be taken at UIC.

UICs Office of International Affairs (OIA) receives the applications and contacts the academic unit/college to request their review and approval. The hosting academic unit/college receives from OIA the documentation sent by OIA as listed above plus the UIC internal Approval Form. If the academic unit does not accept the student, OIA immediately informs IIE of the decision. If the student is accepted, OIA forwards the documentation to OAR and the process moves forward.

Please notice that as of today, this new program is implemented without the ideal terms for deadlines. The hope is to begin making corrections as the program normalizes.
