Yes, we understand that things come up during the Summer. Please email us with the date you want to cancel and indicate your new preferred date. We will cancel your reservation and register you for the other date if it is still open. Do not register for another session online, this will lead to confusion and being registered and charged for two Orientation dates. Please note that once your cancel your reservation the reservation system automatically opens a spot in that date and someone else can register for that spot. So please be sure and check dates before cancelling anything.

Yes, UIS’s mandatory orientation program has three parts. The first part is the online orientation in Canvas], our learning management system. Then students will attend the 1-day program called Orientation which focuses on big-picture activities like advising and registration.

There is a mandatory $175 Orientation fee that is assessed to each student and covers expenses for the student. The Orientation Fee can be paid online after registering for Orientation, or deferred to the student account until the tuition bill is due. The Orientation Fee is mandatory and non-refundable. There are separate Guest fees for each guest a student would like to bring. Students are allowed up to 2 guests. The guest fee is $30/guest and can be paid by credit card when paying the student's orientation fee.

If you go to your UIS Admission Status page you will see under Status Update – Payment Due $175 (or more if you added guests). Click on that and it will take you through the process of paying by credit card.

When you submit the reservation you will automatically receive a copy of your registration form to the email you gave UIS on your application. You will also be emailed a confirmation of the session you're registered for. You can also verify your reservation by going to your UIS Admission and Application Status page.
