New Student Advising and Registration

Welcome Fall 2025 students!

Congratulations on your admission into the College of Engineering! We’re excited to welcome you to our community. To support your transition, we’ve outlined key steps and resources to help you prepare for advising, registration, and your first semester at UIC.

Engineering students are assigned two types of advisors within the College:

  • Academic Resource Center (ARC) Advisor also referred to as COE Advisor: Assigned by Week 2 of your first semester.
  • Faculty/Department Advisor: Assigned by Week 10

Advising Week occurs during the 10th week of each fall and spring semester. During this week, a hold will be placed on your registration, and you must meet with your Faculty/Department Advisor to plan for the next term and have the hold removed.
