Registering

Current UIC students can register for summer courses when Fall 2025 Time Tickets open using XE Registration (my.uic.edu). Registration for Summer 2025 and Fall 2025 courses will begin March 31. Check your Time Ticket to find out the specific day and time when you can register (Time Tickets will be available for viewing in early March).

Students should work with their current academic advisor to plan their summer courses to ensure they plan the correct courses and appropriate courseload. Students can view their academic advisor's information in iAdvise.

Check the UIC Registrar’s website for complete details about registration. A few things worth noting:

 

Full-Time Credit Hours

Undergraduate students must be registered for at least 6 credit hours in the summer to be considered a full-time student.

Graduate students must be registered for at least 5 credit hours in the summer to be considered a full-time student.

Please note that being a full-time student is determined by the total number of credit hours that you’re enrolled in over the entire summer, regardless of whether you enroll in the 4-week session only, the 8-week session only, or both sessions.

 

Maximum Credit Hours

Undergraduate students can register for up to 12 total credit hours–either as a combination of courses taken in the 4-week and 8-week sessions, or just courses taken in the 8-week session.

Graduate students can take up to 20 credit hours over the summer.

If you wish to register for more than the maximum credit hours allowed, please speak with your college advisor.
