The first people to register have the opportunity to register for courses offered during preferred/peak class times (i.e. 10 a.m. - 2 p.m.). Some popular introduction courses at these times tend to fill up faster. You might have to take it earlier or later in the day than you would prefer, but you will still be registered for these classes. Some general education subjects (i.e. psychology, sociology) are also more popular than others so you may have to choose an alternate subject. Required courses like Freshman Seminar, English, and Math add sections as they are needed throughout the summer. You will be able to register for all the credit hours you need. It may not be at your first choice time or subject. Students attending August or January (spring semester admits) should use the AdviseU app to set up an appoint with their advisor before their 1-day Orientation. Students will still have to attend the 1-day Orientation and Freshmen Welcome programs even though they have been advised for classes. Failure to attend could result in your schedule being cancelled and you will have to wait until the first day of classes to register again.

We strongly encourage students and their parents/guardian meet with the student’s financial assistance counselor to review the financial offer notification and cost of attendance before or after their orientation date. The Office of Financial Assistance can meet with the student and parents virtually by appointment. Contact their office to arrange a meeting: Phone: (217) 206-6724 or Email: finaid@uis.edu. Do not make any appointments on the Orientation date the student registered for. The student will have mandatory programming to attend the whole day.

Yes. It is built into the orientation schedule for students to get to see a bunch of different parts of campus. We are offering tours of campus and campus housing virtually.
