Welcome

Dear Families and Guests,

Congratulations on your student’s acceptance to the University of Illinois Chicago. UIC recognizes that families play a significant role in their student’s adjustment to college life. This guide provides information on many of the resources that are available to your student to assist them in their transition to UIC. Specifically, this guide contains information intentionally selected for parents and families, including academic regulations, tips for supporting your student, and important contact information for various campus resources. Additionally, we’ve included helpful academic calendar dates and things to consider each month in your student’s first year in the UIC community. If further questions arise, we encourage you to contact our office at famhelp@uic.edu or at 312-996-3271. We are excited to have you join the UIC community—welcome!

Sincerely,

New Student and Family Programs University of Illinois Chicago
