This deposit will be credited to your student account at the start of the semester. Log into your application to complete your ITE and pay your deposit.

The student portal My.UIC.edu is where you can register for classes and access your financial and academic records. Please visit the Newly Admitted Students page for more information on accessing the student portal.
Attend Onboarding
All new students are required to attend a fun and informative New Student Onboarding program hosted by faculty, advisers and current students. New Student Onboarding is held before school starts every semester. There will be a series of very important presentations in which representatives from UIC Business will provide information about your time at UIC. The invitation, as well as more details about advising and course registration, will be sent to you via email after you have submitted your ITE form and paid your enrollment deposit.

They will help you select your classes for your first semester and answer any questions you may have to ensure you will have a smooth transition into the program.
