Application

Note: The Summer Session Only application deadline for the 8-week session was June 6, 2008. Please join our mailing list to receive information about next year’s summer session when it becomes available later this fall.

The Summer Session Only application is intended for visiting students who want to enroll in undergraduate courses at UIC during summer session but who do not plan to pursue a degree at UIC or continue in the fall semester. Please check to see if you are eligible to attend summer session. If you are not sure whether this is the right application for you, take a look at who attends the UIC Summer Session.

If you are currently enrolled at UIC but not yet graduating and you want to take summer courses, you do not need to apply to attend summer session. However, if you will be graduating prior to summer session and you would like to take undergraduate courses at UIC over the summer, you will need to apply as a Summer Session Only student.

Application Processing

After you submit your Summer Session Only application, you should receive a decision letter approximately two weeks after applying.

Applicants who are admitted for the 2008 Summer Session will be mailed registration instructions with their decision letter. You can also review the registration instructions online. Because you must be admitted before you can register for courses, we encourage you to apply early.

You can check the status of your application by logging in to the online application with the Login ID and PIN that you created when you completed your application. Please note that if you check your application status online, the system may indicate that you need to provide high school and/or college transcripts. However, Summer Session Only applicants are not required to provide these transcripts.

While the Summer Session Office does not process the applications, we can answer questions about the process itself or check on the status of your application. So don't hesitate to call us at (312) 996-9099, or if you're outside of the Chicago area, at (800) 625-2013. We are here to take your suggestions, answer any questions you may have, and help you with any problems you might encounter.
