Advising Services

When you apply, you will be assigned an Advisor who will work with you throughout your time with the University--from admission, to registration, to financial aid, and all the way through graduation. You'll communicate with your advisor through every step of your education with the University of Illinois.

Students will register for their first courses via the student portal. Keep in mind that applications received close to the beginning of the intended start term may not be processed in time for you to begin that course. We recommend that your application and all materials be received at least two weeks prior to the intended start of the program.

Once you enroll, our online orientation and tutorials will familiarize you with the online learning management system for your coursework. Our advisors and instructors will advise you of resources available to you, and they will define clear expectations. To make sure your experience is complete, we will provide advising and career counseling from your enrollment and orientation through to your graduation.
