UIC not only offers amazing education and dedication to all of its students, but also provides many of us with opportunities and challenges to grow as independent individuals. I chose UIC because I knew I would be surrounded by amazing chemical engineering professors and organizations to help me with my career and development goals.

Academic Advising Heading link
All College of Engineering undergraduate students are required to be advised before they are able to register for classes each semester. An “advising hold” automatically will be placed on your account, and it cannot be removed until you have met with an advisor. Advising for chemical engineering students takes place in the 10th week of instruction each semester. New incoming students will receive information by email about special advising and registration procedures for their first term.
