The UIC summer session Office works to provide
both current UIC and visiting students with timely
information about the UIC summer session. Enrolling
in summer courses is a good way for students to
catch up or get ahead in their academic studies.
Students might also consider enrolling in summer to
help manage a heavy course load during the fall or
spring. Although the summer session is shorter in
length, courses offered in the summer are worth the
same number of semester hours as the same courses
in the fall or spring. UIC students interested in taking
advantage of summer session courses should discuss
their plans with their college advisor.
Continuing UIC Students and Summer Session
Continuing UIC students register for summer in the
same way as they do for fall or spring. In the spring, all
eligible, continuing UIC students wi
