We place special emphasis upon your high school transcripts, including rigor
of coursework, grades, class rank (if available), and senior year courses. We also
look at test scores and application essays, in addition to non-academic aspects
of your life, such as extracurricular activities, work and volunteer experience,
and honors and awards received. We review the complete picture of who you
are and how you will contribute to the talented, bright, and diverse student
body at Illinois.
Following is a checklist to help guide you through the application process.
Youll also find some helpful tips on how to fill out the form, as well as
directions for parts of the application that may not be self-explanatory. Go
ahead and check off the steps as you complete them; we dont want you
to overlook an important aspect of the application. If you have additional

OTHER information
Social Security Number Disclosure
Your Social Security Number (SSN) is requested pursuant to Public Law 93579 for the Universitys system of student records, as well as for compliance
with federal and state reporting requirements. An SSN is required if you are
applying for financial aid but is not required for admission to the University.
Providing an SSN will, however, speed up the processing of your application
since we will not need to manually match your application with other materials
such as transcripts and test scores. Supplying an SSN ensures that you will
be able to claim the Hope Tax Credit, if you are eligible, on your federal tax
return. The University has a strong commitment to ensuring the privacy and
confidentiality of student records and will not disclose your SSN without your
consent for any purpose except as allowed by law.

high school graduation requirements

To enroll, you must have a high school diploma or GED certification, and
meet requirements for competence in English. If high school graduation was by
GED, you must have an official report of your GED test scores sent from the
testing agency.

Criminal record Disclosure

The University of Illinois is committed to maintaining a safe environment
for all members of the University community. As part of this commitment,
the University requires applicants with pending criminal charges or criminal
convictions (other than a minor traffic offense or in a juvenile proceeding) to
disclose this information as a mandatory step in the admissions process. A
pending criminal charge or criminal conviction does not automatically bar
admission to the University, but does require review. Complete information
must be sent by certified mail at the time of application for admission to:
Review Committee
300 Student Services Building
University of Illinois
610 E. John St.
Champaign, IL 61820
It is strongly recommended that applicants send materials by certified mail.
Applicants are responsible for verifying receipt by the University and for
maintaining a copy of the receipt certifying submission. Information to be
submitted, in English, includes a brief explanation of the incident, location
(city, county, state, country) of conviction or pending charges, dates, and court
disposition. The applicant must forward the charging document, case docket,
and judgment order or other disposition paperwork available. The applicant
must also include a grant of permission to the University for complete access to
criminal records, if any. Applicants may be required to sign additional releases.
For further information on this requirement, call 217.333.0050.
