Admission Procedures

The procedure for admission of an undergraduate student to the summer session varies according to the previous status of the student.

Students who have been approved for admission in the fall semester will be authorized to begin in the immediately preceding summer session if they notify the Office of Admissions and Records of their intent to enroll in the summer session.

PREVIOUS STATUS ACTION REQUIRED
Completed immediately preceding semester; eligible to continue. Application not required; registration materials produced automatically.
Dropped for academic reasons at end of spring semester; desire nondegree summer session only. Do not apply for admission; seek release by former college to dean of summer session for approval.
Dropped for academic reasons at end semester; seek reinstatement to same or different college for summer. Do not apply for admission; petition dean of desired college for reinstatement.
Last campus enrollment was preceding fall semester or earlier. Must apply for admission.

Admission of Candidates for Degrees

Freshman or transfer applicants who wish to be admitted to the summer session and to continue as degree candidates in the fall semester must meet the same admission requirements as students applying for the fall semester. Such applicants should indicate on their application forms that they are applying for admission in June to continue in the fall. Detailed admission requirements and application procedures for undergraduates are contained in the application packet available each September.

Applicants for summer to continue in the fall should be aware that fall term admission spaces have been filled in most academic programs long in advance of summer session application deadlines. Information on programs open for admission can be obtained from the Office of Admissions and Records throughout the academic year.

Admission of Summer Session Nondegree Students

Approval of admission or return as a nondegree student to the summer session only does not allow enrollment in the fall or spring. A student who was admitted to the summer session only as a nondegree student and who later wishes to enter one of the colleges of the University as a degree or nondegree student must apply for admission in the usual manner and satisfy requirements in effect at the time of application. A person admitted as a nondegree undergraduate student to the summer session only is not assigned to any college or curriculum.

Undergraduate nondegree applications for admission to the summer session only may be approved by the director of the Office of Admissions and Records under the following conditions:

-- High school graduates who qualified for admission under minimum rank and test score combination requirements, but who were not admitted under competitive rank and test score combination requirements in effect for the fall semester, may be admitted as nondegree students for the summer session only. (These minimum rank and test score requirements, known as campus minimums, are available from the Office of Admissions and Records the September preceding the summer term for which admission is sought.)

-- Former University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign students who have not graduated from the University may be admitted as nondegree candidates if approved by the director of the Office of Admissions and Records through release from their former colleges. Students on drop or probationary status must petition the Summer Session Office for admission as nondegree candidates. If approved, they will be admitted on probation for that single summer session only.

-- An undergraduate student enrolled in another institution may enroll in the summer session as a nondegree candidate if the student is eligible to return to the collegiate institution last attended.

-- Any person eighteen years of age or older who has never attended a collegiate institution, but who gives evidence that he or she possesses the requisite background and ability to pursue profitably courses for which he or she is qualified, may enroll in the summer session as a nondegree candidate.

Application Documents

An applicant for admission to summer session as a nondegree student must submit the following (all credentials presented for admission or readmission become the permanent property of the University, are not subsequently released to the student or to another individual or institution, and are not held for reconsideration of admission to subsequent terms):

-- A completed admission application form. This form is available from the Office of Admissions and Records at the address on the inside back cover.

--A $30 ($40 for international students) check or money order (amount subject to change) payable to the University of Illinois, in payment of the nonrefundable application processing fee. The University is not responsible for cash sent through the mail.

--A list of the specific course work desired.

--Additional documents required of certain applicants, as follows:

A high school graduate (see first category under Admission of Summer Session Nondegree Students, above) may be required to submit (1) an official high school transcript received from the high school showing rank in graduating class, and (2) an official report of the admission test score (ACT or SAT) sent directly to the Office of Admissions and Records from the testing agency concerned.

A teacher may be requested to submit a statement verifying his or her employment.

A student enrolled at another collegiate institution may be requested to submit a statement of eligibility to return to the institution attended.
