I have provided this guide as a supplemental resource to your student’s Student Life Guide to assist you in further understanding the ins and outs of our large university. This guide contains information regarding academic regulations, tips for parents, and important phone numbers and campus resources.

Hopefully by the conclusion of your orientation, all of your immediate questions will be answered. If further questions arise, feel free to contact me at jepayne@uic.edu or (312) 996-3271.

Academic Regulations All academic regulations can be found online in the UIC Undergraduate Catalog and Policy Guide at uic.edu/ucat/catalog.

Maintaining Good Academic Standing In order to have good academic standing, the student must maintain a 2.0 grade point average in all classes taken at the University of Illinois at Chicago and in all work accepted by the University (transfer work). Some academic curricula may require students to meet a higher minimum grade point average.

6

Academic Probation •

Students will be placed on academic probation at the end of any term in which they earn less than a cumulative grade point average of 2.0. For such a student, the probation serves as a warning.

•

An entering transfer/readmit student with a combined cumulative grade point average lower than 2.0, (admitted by petition) will be immediately placed on probation.

Additional information on probation and removal from probation can be found online in the UIC Undergraduate Catalog at uic.edu/ucat/catalog.

University of Illinois at Chicago

UIC’s Relationship with Students and their Parents Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) •

UIC students are responsible for managing their affairs, including decisions pertaining to academic, financial, and personal issues.

•

To foster self-reliance, we afford our students their privacy.

•

To aid academic and personal development, a wide range of supporting resources are available.

Due to our compliance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA) and the practical fact that UIC is unable to assess the nature of each student-parent relationship, we leave it to the student to decide whether or when to involve parents. www.universityparent.com/uic

Most academic and personal difficulties— problems with mental health, finances, family discord, and roommates—are resolved without the University involving parents. University staff members are available to support students as they work through such issues. We do recognize, however, that there are unusual situations that may necessitate contact with parents.

The vast majority of students handle their new independence with a deep sense of personal responsibility. Additional information about UIC Student Records Policy can be found online at: uic.edu/depts/oar/campus_policies/ records_policy.

Recent revisions to the Higher Education Act also allow the University to notify parents of students under the age of 21 who violate laws on the use or possession of alcohol or drugs.

Undergraduate Advising Answers for Parents

8

Q

What advising resources are available to students?

A

Academic advisors are available to students from their first year through graduation. Advisors provide detailed information about academic resources, major/minor requirements, pre-professional program advising and graduate school advice. Academic Advisors can show transfer students how courses from previous institutions fulfill UIC’s requirements.

Q

What can I do to help my student adjust to UIC?

A

UIC students put a lot of pressure on themselves to excel and often call home when they are upset or confused. Listen to what they say, but try not to overreact. Many times the crisis will pass after a day or so.

Q

How much should I be involved with my student?

A

Recognize that this is a time of exploration and self-discovery for students.

Encourage your student to try different subjects and to get involved in activities that will broaden their experiences. Show interest in academic decisions but try not to direct the thinking or behavior of your student.

University of Illinois at Chicago

Questions and Q

When should a major be declared?

A

Students are encouraged to spend their first-year exploring a variety of courses and resources offered by their academic college. By sophomore year, students should begin to consider their choice of major. Students must declare their major before achieving junior standing. Remember that the pre-professional programs, such as pre-pharmacy or pre-medicine, are not majors; instead, they are educational goals that are geared toward helping students achieve their professional aspirations.

UIC Educational Opportunities Honors College The Honors College is a community of students seeking extra intellectual challenges, campus engagement, and leadership experiences. All UIC students can apply to be in the Honors College as long as their cumulative GPA is a 3.4/4.0 and they have at least three semesters left before graduation.

10

After their first year, all Honors College students are assigned Fellows within their field of study. Students and fellows meet at least once per semester to review academic progress and decide on an honors activity and to review the student’s academic progress. The fellow acts as a mentor and offers academic advice to the student. hc.uic.edu

University of Illinois at Chicago

The Student Research Forum showcases independent research conducted by undergraduate students. Students from all disciplines (Arts, Business, Computer Science, Engineering, Humanities, Life Sciences, Mathematics, Physical Sciences, Social Sciences, among others) are invited to present their work one-on-one to Forum attendees and judges during a highenergy 3-hour session, followed by an awards ceremony. Monetary awards will be given in various categories. A poster or visual display that highlights key features of the project accompanies research presentations. research.uic.edu/srf

Study Abroad The UIC Study Abroad Office is committed to making international study an integral part of the undergraduate educational experience to prepare students to meet the challenges and opportunities of a transnational world.

Students may participate in a summer, semester, or year-long academic experience by selecting from more than 200 programs in over 60 countries on six continents.

Coursework is available across all academic disciplines. Institutional and federal financial aid may be applied and there are a wide range of scholarships available.

Undergraduate Research As a research intensive university, UIC offers a variety of opportunities for undergraduate students to engage in significant exploratory endeavors.

Opportunities are available to all students in many fields. There are undergraduate research opportunities available in virtually every department. www.universityparent.com/uic

All credit earned goes toward the student’s undergraduate degree and many programs also include an internship component, giving students an opportunity to gain valuable practical experience working in an international environment. Studying abroad builds a strong resume and gives students unique skills for a competitive marketplace. studyabroad.uic.edu

11

Academic Resources UIC offers a plethora of tutoring opportunities for students. There are a number of centers devoted to a specific area of study, as well as general tutoring facilities.

These include: •

the Writing Center

•

the Mathematic Sciences Learning Center

•

the Science Learning Center

•

as well as Honors College Tutoring

Also available are Academic Support Programs:

Office of Special Scholarships Program The Office of Special Scholarship Programs (OSSP) assists UIC students in searching and applying for nationally competitive scholarships, fellowships, and external scholarship awards. They provide information about available awards, advice on application preparation, and assistance throughout the scholarship application process.

OSSP does not simply provide a list of awards; they help students present themselves clearly and effectively for awards that best suit their needs.

Students are welcome at any stage in their academic career, and are encouraged to plan ahead to prepare the strongest possible scholarship applications, with assistance from the office. www.uic.edu/depts/oaa/ssp 12

•

African American Academic Network

•

Latin American Recruitment and Educational Services

•

Native American Support Programs

•

and the Academic Center for Excellence, all of which are located in the Student Services Building

These are only some of the tutoring resources available to students; they also have the option of going to their professor’s office hours or forming their own study groups.

Summer Session Graduating in four years can be challenging. Extra semesters can be costly. Taking summer courses can be part of a student’s strategy to stay on track, catch up, or even get ahead.

UIC’s Summer Session offers students the flexibility and options they need to combine studies with jobs and travel. UIC has a broad summer course selection — over 300 courses in 50+ subject areas.

UIC also offers two summer sessions: an intensive 4-week session in May, followed by an 8-week session. Courses in either session are equivalent to a full semester, and students can take one session or both. summer.uic.edu University of Illinois at Chicago

Supporting Your Student: What Three Things Does Your Student Need to Hear?

Throughout their experience, undergraduate students face a variety of personal and academic challenges. Many universities provide a wide range of resources to support students both in and out of the classroom. It would not be college if it weren’t challenging, but you can help your student be successful by reminding them of three things:

tutoring, from their school or department.

Talking to a professor or teacher’s assistant, attending tutoring, or asking for help from other students in the class can help your student get back on track in a difficult class.

Third, you are not alone.

If a student is feeling stressed for any reason—from relationship issues to coursework—help is available. The best thing to do when feeling overwhelmed or isolated is to reach out: •

Student Support Services at UIC can provide support, advice, advocacy, and referrals on academic and personal issues.

•

Residence hall staff members are available to listen and can direct students to the appropriate resources on campus.

•

Mental Health and Counseling services are available on campus, and can be a great support system for your student.

First, struggle, and even failure, are normal.

Many students believe “I am the only one with this problem,” or “I am the only one who is not keeping up in Physics.”

The reality is that most students face similar problems.

Second, asking for help is a typical part of learning in college.

For example, half of all freshmen and onethird of all undergraduates report asking for academic assistance, such as www.universityparent.com/uic

Student Health Services at UIC The Student Health Services Fee is a mandatory fee that supports staffing, programming, and general operating expenses for the campus health service providers: Family Medicine Center, Counseling Center, Wellness Center, and pharmacy services.

Family Medicine The Family Medicine Center is dedicated to clinical care, education, and research, which focuses on meeting the medical needs of UIC students. If you or your student has a question or concern, please email Rita Smaw, Assistant Director of Physician Practice at rsmaw@uic.edu or visit the Family Medicine website at Hospital.uillinois.edu/Patient_Care_ Services/Family_Medicine.

The student health fee provides access to our service during each academic semester in which the student is enrolled.

Location Family Medicine Center – University Village 722 West Maxwell Street, Suite 235 Family Medicine Center – Outpatient Care Center 1801 West Taylor Street, 2A

Scheduling an appointment All care is provided by appointment only.

Appointments can be scheduled by calling (312) 996-2901. The Family Medicine Center is closed for university observed holidays.

Your student will need their i-card and current class schedule. The Family Medicine Center has to verify current class enrollment to provide “no cost” services through the student health services fee.

For services not covered by student health, The Family Medicine Center will require private insurance card and billing information. Your student’s insurance will be responsible for services obtained that are not covered by the student health services fee.

15

UIC Pharmacy There are two conveniently located pharmacies on campus taking care of UIC’s students’ needs.

University Village Pharmacy 722 West Maxwell Street (312) 355-2345 Taylor Street Pharmacy (Eye & Ear Infirmary) 1855 West Taylor Street (312) 996-6540 UIC students receive discounts on: •

Over-the-counter medications

•

Some prescriptions Birth control

•

Last minute items: Contact lens solution First aid Personal care Vitamins

UIC students can bring all of their prescriptions to these two pharmacies and the staff will assist in obtaining the best price possible.

Both University Village Pharmacy (UVP) and Taylor Street/EEI Pharmacy accept most insurance plans.

Students covered under the Campus Care plan save out-of-pocket expenses when they use our pharmacies to fill prescriptions.

What to do if the services needed are not covered by the student health services fee Occasionally, a student may need services that will not be covered by the student health fee included in tuition. Since the Family Medicine Center is a primary care center as well as the student health 16

center, it can provide additional services as medically indicated or make an appropriate referral recommendation.

Payment for these services will be the responsibility of the student and/or the student’s private health insurance. If your student has CampusCare as their primary insurance coverage, many additional services will be covered.

CampusCare CampusCare is the UIC self-funded student health benefit program that provides comprehensive health care benefits to eligible enrolled students and their dependent(s). CampusCare provides and arranges for inpatient and outpatient hospitalization, prescription drugs, physical therapy, home health care, mental health and substance abuse services, and emergency services.

New students at UIC are automatically enrolled in the program. The University requires that all students have health insurance. If your student is covered under your insurance, through their work, or through another source, they have the option of waiving out of the program each semester. They must complete the waiver before the posted deadline passes or they will be charged the fee. The CampusCare waiver is good for one academic year, and must be resubmitted in the fall every year.

The waiver form can only be submitted electronically through the CampusCare website at: campuscare.uic.edu.

All covered services must be provided or authorized by a CampusCare health care physician and the provider must be the UIC Medical Center and Clinics. The Family Medicine Center is the designated CampusCare Health Center for students at UIC.

University of Illinois at Chicago

The Wellness Center The mission of the UIC Wellness Center is to educate and inform students on a variety of wellness, health, and academic issues helping them make informed and safer decisions about their lifestyle choices and behaviors. Using a holistic approach that caters to the whole student, wellness services, educational programs, and resources are provided to support student’s health, academic, and wellness goals.

Additional information about the Wellness Center and the programs they host can be found online at: wellctr.uic.edu.

Counseling Center The Counseling Center’s services include counseling (individual, couples, and group), consultation, crisis intervention, assessment, referrals, and psychiatric care. Additionally, workshops are hosted regarding topics such as relationship skills, stress management, helping distressed students, and diversity issues.

All services provided are confidential and free of charge to enrolled students.

The InTouch Crisis Hotline is an additional resource provided by the Counseling Center that offers crisis intervention, crisis counseling, and referral services. The

www.universityparent.com/uic

How Can Parents & Family Members Get Involved?

We encourage parents and families to be involved in their student’s new community.

Whether it is attending a UIC Association of Parents event, UIC Convocation, or an athletic game, there are many ways to get involved with other families.

students. This event marks the official beginning of a new student’s entry into the UIC academic community. All first-year students are expected to attend. Parents and family members are invited to this free event. You will see faculty members, the Chancellor, and Sparky D. Dragon, our UIC mascot. The Chancellor’s New Student Welcome Picnic will immediately follow UIC Convocation.

UIC Association of Parents

UIC Athletics

In order to promote the welfare of students, the UIC Association of Parents seeks to foster understanding and cooperation among parents, guardians, and family members. They inform parents of resources within the University for their student. Throughout the year, there are a number of great events that are offered to UICAP members.

We hope all students join in to support UIC athletic teams—and get fired-up when the Flames are in action. That doesn’t mean parents and the rest of the family should cheer from home. Attending an athletic event with the family provides a wonderful opportunity for parents to help ignite school spirit and participate in the UIC Experience. With 16 nationally competitive, Division I sports programs, the Flames represent the entire UIC Family. To find affordable tickets for your family, get decked-out in Flames gear, or to simply follow the latest news on the UIC teams, visit uicflames.com.

UIC Convocation Each fall, on the Sunday before the first day of classes, UIC hosts the UIC Convocation. This is a ceremony to welcome new first-year and transfer 18

The Facts about Student Employment Benefits •

A part-time job allows the student to experience something new and completely different from their academic interests.

•

Working part-time develops effective time-management skills. Holding down a job requires a student to balance class schedules, study time, leisure, and the demands of a work schedule.

•

National statistics indicate that students who work an average of 10–20 hours per week develop more effective study habits and perform better academically.

•

Working can develop self-confidence, self-sufficiency, and a real sense of independence for many individuals. These are all invaluable skills necessary for the professional world.

•

Students who work through a series of jobs while attending college, can establish an excellent work record and employment history. A solid work history can benefit students as they seek permanent employment.

•

Part-time work can help reduce the burden of educational loans.

•

It is important to note that employment is a part of education itself.

www.universityparent.com/uic

19

Students typically work 10–20 hours per week during the semester. The work schedule is normally flexible around a student’s class schedule and can adjust every semester. Currently the on-campus minimum wage is $8.50/hour. Students can work on campus whether or not they qualify for Federal Work Study.

Student Temporary Services Temporary positions on campus may last anywhere from 1–2 days to 3–4 weeks.

Students are called based on their availability to work and qualifications for the position.

The Office of Student Employment On Campus Part-time employment provides the student with valuable work experience and an opportunity to test and develop skills and abilities that will benefit the student as they move from one work situation to another, or from one career to another.

Keep in mind a student’s earnings can affect their financial aid package for the following academic year.

Please also note that money earned though the Federal Work Study program has no effect on the next year’s financial aid package. This is a key benefit for this particular financial aid award.

20

Off Campus/Part-Time Local We provide listings of part-time positions that are in the Chicagoland area. Positions are available in areas of clerical, retail, customer service, and food, to name a few.

Job Location and Development Program These are part-time, off-campus positions in the Chicagoland area that are tailored to a student’s interest. Positions are available in a number of areas including computers, business, engineering, law, and health.

Positions can be viewed at the Student Employment Office or at seo.uic.edu, studentjobs.seo.uic.edu and www.uiccareers.com.

University of Illinois at Chicago

Resident and Commuter Resources UIC Campus Housing Although UIC has traditionally been a commuter campus, many students do live in our residence halls. These individuals living on campus create a vibrant community within UIC’s campus, blending academic and residential life. While slightly less than 15% of all students live on campus, almost 50% of incoming first-year students live on campus.

Residence halls become a center of social life, a focus for UIC spirit, a place to make lifelong friends, and an environment to learn beyond the classroom. Campus Housing offers more than just great facilities close to classes, it offers an educational advantage. They offer free tutoring, special interest living areas, and opportunities for students to interact with faculty outside the classroom. It is also important to recognize that students will spend more time outside the classroom than inside, and to make sure that those times are just as educational. Campus Housing has free laundry in all halls. There are also great leadership opportunities for students to get involved at any level.

And being surrounded by so many www.universityparent.com/uic

other intelligent, talented people helps residents learn communication, teamwork, and interpersonal skills they will use regardless of their career choice. housing.uic.edu

Commuter Student Resource Center The goal of the Commuter Student Resource Center (CSRC) is to foster student success by providing facilities, programs, and services to commuter students. The CSRC is conveniently located in Student Center East and provides a comfortable environment for everyone. The facility includes lounge space, study areas, lockers, showers, private lactation rooms, a kitchenette, computers/printers, as well as areas to charge electronic devices. Programs include study breaks, an off campus housing fair, workshops on commuting, Take a Professor to Lunch, and social events with other commuters. Services that are provided by the CSRC include transportation information, and off campus housing assistance. For more information on the Commuter Student Resource Center please visit commuter.uic.edu, or email commuter@uic.edu.

(Monday–Friday), 6-day (Sunday–Friday), and 7-day (Sunday–Saturday) options, including the choice of adding Dragon Dollar$ to the student ID card (i-card).

Cash, Credit, and Dragon Dollar$ are accepted in all of our dining locations, including fast food eateries, and convenience stores. Dragon Dollar$ can be added to the i-card at any time.

Eating at UIC All students that live in residence halls have a 5-day Traditional Meal Plan included in their housing fee (does not include apartment style halls TBH, MRH, and SSR). UIC Dining Services offers allyou-care-to-eat, anytime dining.

Students can eat in any of the all-youcare-to-eat dining areas on campus anytime and as many times as desired throughout the day. Meal plans offer 5-day

22

Commuter students have the option of purchasing traditional meal plans or block meal plans (at a discounted rate), or using the Dragon Dollar$ program to purchase meals. Both meal plans and Dragon Dollar$ are accessed using the student i-card.

Additional information about traditional and block meal plans, Dragon Dollar$, and i-cards can be found online at: dragoncenter.uic.edu.

University of Illinois at Chicago

Staying Safe at UIC The UIC Police provides law enforcement, security, safety, crime prevention and emergency services 24 hours a day on campus. All UIC police officers are State of Illinois officers and exercise full law enforcement powers to make arrests, enforce all applicable federal, state and local laws, and provide any other law enforcement services required.

The StarTel Alarm System on campus provides a direct link to campus police.

The StarTel Alarms are the brown poles with blue lights seen throughout campus. There are over 1,100 alarms on campus. If a student ever feels threatened, they can press the button on one of the StarTel units on campus and are in immediate contact with the campus police. The usual on-site response time is under three minutes.

The alarms provide the location of the call so if the student cannot speak at the time, the police will know where to go.

Getting around campus at night is often another area of concern for parents. After 11:00 p.m., students can call the Red Car service and be picked up and dropped off for free at any location on campus between 11:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. Another service available is Student Patrol, a free service where a student can request to be escorted from one location to another on campus. www.universityparent.com/uic

In the case of emergencies call the police at (312) 355-5555, to request Red Car call (312) 996-6800, and for Student Patrol call (312) 996-2830. For more information about UIC Police and their services please visit: uic.edu/depts/police.
