Welcome to UIC Summer Session!

Now that you are admitted, follow these instructions to make sure you are ready for registration.

The my.UIC.edu portal is your gateway to the university Heading link

Use the my.UIC.edu portal to do the following:

  • Check your registration Time Ticket for the earliest date and time you can register for summer courses
  • Register for summer courses
  • Check your UIC email
  • View and pay your tuition bill
  • Check grades and request transcripts

In order to access the portal, please complete the following steps now.

Activate your NetID login and UIC email account Heading link

To access the portal, you need to activate a NetID login. Once activated, you will need to wait at least 24 hours before logging into the my.UIC.edu portal.

You will need your UIN (University Identification Number), and second, your Social Security Number or your TCN (Temporary Control Number) if you didn’t provide a SSN when you applied. Your UIN (and TCN) are provided in the emailed notification of your admission or you can retrieve your UIN online. If you have any difficulties obtaining your UIN or TCN, please contact the Summer Session Office.

 

Once you have your UIN and your SSN (or TCN), begin the process of activating your NetID.

You’ll be prompted to set up a challenge/response question and an emergency e-mail in this step in case you ever need to recover your password. Do not skip this step because it cannot be retrieved or changed over the phone.

You will be prompted to activate a UIC email assigned to Microsoft Exchange (Office 365). Your NetID becomes your UIC email address, followed by @uic.edu. While the Summer Session Office makes every effort to send you information to the email address that you provided when you applied, you will also receive important updates at your UIC email account and should prioritize checking that account daily. Check here for  information about your UIC email.

Your NetID is used to access many UIC services, such as the my.UIC.edu portal, UIC-WiFi, Blackboard, email, campus computer labs and printers and more. Creating a secure and well-managed password is key to protecting your access to University of Illinois resources. In addition, you will set up 2-factor authentication (2FA) by enrolling in Duo Security service. This will provide an extra layer of security protection for your sensitive, personal university data.

Follow the prompts to set up emergency notifications.

Logging in to my.uic.edu Heading link

Log into the my.UIC.edu portal 24 hours after you first activate your NetID.

  • On the left side click on the red “Login” button or use “Sign In” at the top of the page. Log in using your NetID and password. If you encounter issues with logging in to the portal, please contact us.
  • Once you are in the portal, you will see the “Welcome” tab where you can check your UIC email, read campus announcements, and see the campus events calendar.

Prepare for Registration - check your registration Time Ticket at my.uic.edu Heading link

Starting mid-March check your registration Time Ticket at my.UIC.edu to find out the earliest date and time that you can register. All Time Tickets are listed in Central Standard Time (CST).

  • After you have logged in, use the search bar to find results for “XE Registration” or scroll through the page to find this portlet.
  • Select “Prepare for Registration” to view your Time Ticket and to find out if you have any holds.
  • Once you confirm you have a Time Ticket, you can register for your courses.

Make sure you receive your Summer Session emails Heading link

When you applied to UIC you provided us with an email address. Now that you are an admitted Summer Session Only student, you also have a UIC email address. While the Summer Session Office makes every effort to send you information to the email address that you provided when you applied, you will also receive important updates at your UIC email account so please prioritize checking that account daily. (Students do not have the ability to forward their UIC email to off-campus email accounts.) When courses begin, your instructors will only communicate with you using your UIC email address.

Check here for assistance with your UIC email.
