For Students Admitted to the Spring 2022 Semester

Orientation

UIS cares about the health and safety of incoming students, family members and our faculty and staff. We are following the guidance of experts and have moved our 2021-22 programs online. We have created a Transfer Online Orientation (optional) for new transfer students that will be available from December 13 through July 1. It is available on our Learning Management System (LMS) Canvas. When you go to the website you will need to enter your UIS NetID and Password (need to claim your UIS Account) to access the course. You can complete the modules you need, in any order and enter the online program anytime. 

We will have a Zoom session on Tuesday, January 11 from 5:30-6:30 p.m. for new Transfer students to get acquainted with each other, meet some current students, and have their questions answered by several staff members. You will be able to register from you UIS Admission Status page.

Please make sure you meet with your academic advisor (see information below) and register for classes even if you do not complete the online orientation. There are several items of university business that require students to act by a certain deadline. Make sure you are attending to items in the Confirmed Student Checklist and complete them before classes begin or during the first week of classes.
