New Fall 2025 Students
If you have already applied or been admitted to UIC in the upcoming fall semester but want to take undergraduate courses during the preceding summer, you will need to select a summer application and apply by the application deadline. If you still plan to apply as a degree-seeking student for the fall, visit the Office of Admissions for more information.
Even if you attend Summer Session, you will still need to submit your Intent to Enroll for the fall semester by the Intent to Enroll deadline. Also, once you’ve completed your summer course(s), you may need to petition your college to transfer the credits into your UIC degree program. If you have questions about which course to take in summer, consult a UIC advisor.
