For Students Admitted to the Summer and Fall 2022 Semesters

Online Orientation (optional)

Orientation for new Transfer and Graduate Students is not mandatory, but strong encouraged so you learn about UIS resources and services. We have created a Transfer Online Orientation (optional) for new transfer students that will be available June 2. You will have access to it through the end of the spring semester. 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. 

In-Person "Taking Care of Business"

We will have three (3) in-person "Taking Care of Business" sessions on campus. Students will be able to tour campus, meet with representatives of different offices on campus to learn more about the resources available, and listen to presentations about transitioning to UIS, transfer academic expectations and financial assistance, and have their questions answered. You will be able to register from you UIS Admission Status page. Students, you can select to attend one of these sessions: 

  • Wednesday, June 1: 4-7 p.m.

Advising

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 or attend the in-person 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. The AdviseU application can help you identify your academic advisor, as well as make an appointment with your academic advisor.
