Any transcripts from your high school or another college/university must be submitted to the Office of Admissions.

It is possible that your social security number is not on file or that your date of birth has been incorrectly entered.  Contact the Registration Office to verify your demographic information.

Your residency status is determined by the Office of Admissions upon acceptance into the University.  If you want to petition for a change of residency status take a look at the residency requirements and submit a residency petition to the Office of Admissions.

When looking at the course offerings in both Student Self-Service and the Schedule of Classes you will see that the days of the week a course meets are indicated by a one-letter character.  For example, a course that meets two days a week, Tuesday and Thursday, will be designated by a “TR.”  M=Monday, T=Tuesday, W=Wednesday, R=Thursday, F=Friday.

During the online add/drop period any holds that are on your record that will affect your registration ability need to be handled in that individual department.  If you have a “Financial Hold” on your account and you need to drop a class you can contact the Student Financial Services Office (312-996-8574) for instructions.  After the online add/drop registration period has ended any changes that you need to make must be initiated in your college regardless of whether or not there is a hold on your record.

During the first two weeks of the fall and spring semesters, the first three days of Summer Session 1 and the first week of Summer Session 2 your tuition will adjust itself on a semi-weekly basis as you make changes to your schedule that result in a range change.  After the first two weeks of the fall and spring semesters, the first three days of Summer Session 1 and the first week of Summer Session 2, once the online add/drop period has concluded, any withdrawals from a course result in a grade of W being issued and the tuition will not change.

Your registration Time Ticket is the day and time you can begin registering for classes. This time ticket is calculated by the number of hours you have completed toward your undergraduate or graduate degree.

When a student ceases to enroll in classes, access to services for their netid continues throughout a grace period as follows:

• For students whose last enrolled term is in the Fall, the grace period
  ends on November 30 of the following calendar year.
• For students whose last enrolled term is in the Spring or Summer, the
  grace period ends on July 1 of the following calendar year.

Services that continue throughout the grace period include email delivery, access to the my.UIC Portal, ACCC accounts, and general authentication through the netid and common password.

Accounts are deleted at the end of the grace period. Notification of the upcoming account deletion date is emailed to each student well in advance, following the registration deadline of the first term during which they are not enrolled. Students who resume enrollment before the end of the grace period will have their affiliations automatically renewed and will not experience account deletion.
