Look here for answers to a broad array of frequently asked academic advising questions, from registration to graduation (and about everything in between).
If you don't find your question, or if you want more information, don't hesitate to contact your academic advisor, or email your question to the advising coordinator, Dr. Gerry Walter at gwalter@uiuc.edu.
Look here for College of ACES forms and petitions to:
- substitute a different course for a required course
- drop a course after the 8-week deadline
- register for more than 18 credit hours in a semester (credit overload)
- waive the UIUC residency requirement (interruption of residency)
- continue taking courses the semester after you graduate (continuing student status)
- take UIUC courses more than one semester after graduation (non-degree status)
- return to UIUC after a semester away (re-entry)
- pursue a concurrent second degree ("double major")
- return to UIUC for a second degree (re-entry)
- re-evaluate drop status
- request something not on this list (special request)
These links will retrieve forms in PDF format. All forms are also available in the ACES Office of Academic Programs in 104 Mumford Hall.
