HOW TO USE THIS CATALOG

This catalog provides general information about the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and detailed information about the undergraduate programs of study offered by eight undergraduate colleges, the School of Social Work, the Institute of Aviation, and the College of Veterinary Medicine, as well as information on graduate education offered at the University. Separate catalogs are published for the College of Law at Urbana-Champaign and for the University of Illinois at Chicago. There is also a separate Courses catalog, which gives information about all courses-both undergraduate and graduate-that are currently available at the University as possible offerings. These catalogs are available in print.

The catalog has four major sections.

The first part provides information about student services, research and instructional resources, undergraduate admission, student costs, financial aid, precollege programs, special opportunities, the grading system and other regulations, graduation requirements and honors, Reserve Officers' Training Corps, and the Council on Teacher Education.

The second part has separate sections for each of the undergraduate colleges and the Institute of Aviation, which detail their curricula, special academic programs, specific requirements for graduation, honors programs, and other information.

The graduate programs portion describes requirements and procedures for graduate study and gives detailed information about graduate degrees offered at the University.

The final section of the catalog includes a complete faculty listing, rubric abbreviations, and University of Illinois Residency Status Regulations for Admission and Assessment of Student Tuition.

Persons who are unfamiliar with the University may find it helpful to refer first to the introductory material in the first part for general descriptions of the Urbana-Champaign campus.

Publications that supplement this catalog, and that are available from the Office of Admissions and Records at the address on the inside back cover, are: the Courses catalog, which lists all undergraduate and graduate courses that are currently available at the University as possible offerings; the Timetables, which list courses offered each term, class meetings times, registration instructions, and tuition and fee charges; and the Code on Campus Affairs and Handbook of Policies and Regulations Applying to All Students, which contains administrative, academic, and conduct regulations.

Additional information about the University is available by telephoning the campus operator at (217) 333-1000.
