Registration

Before you can register for classes, you will need to establish your NetID and Enterprise ID. You will need a Net ID to access campus-specific sites and services such as your UIC e-mail account and Blackboard. You will need an EnterpriseID to access the university-wide administrative system. For example, you will use your Enterprise ID to register for classes, make address changes, access your student account, review grades, and request transcripts. Instructions for establishing these IDs can be found on the UIC Web for Student site: http://www.uic.edu/depts/ims/webstudent/

You will not be able to register until you receive your official acceptance letter from the Graduate College of the University. This letter is usually sent 2-3 weeks after you receive your College of Nursing acceptance.

Before registering you must meet with your advisor to develop a program plan. After meeting with your advisor they will remove an “advising hold” that has been put on your account that will prevent you from registering (it takes 24 hours to remove the hold).

If you have completed all of these steps are are still having problems registering please contact con@uic.edu

 

University Insurance

All registered students are automatically enrolled in CampusCare Health Insurance. There is no enrollment form to complete. Students with equivalent health insurance coverage can opt out of the CampusCare Program by submitting the online Waiver Form within designated time frames. The form only needs to be submitted once while you attend UIC. The waiver form and more information can be found at:
