Where to start

Having a stunning Chicago skyline in sight at UIC Open House is definitely something to be excited about, but that's only the tip of the iceberg. Don't forget that we have 100+ awesome sessions made just for you. Make the most of your day by following these pro tips:

  1. Plan to start at Student Center East (SCE). Balloon archways will identify SCE and other check-in stations around campus. Get basic info at these stations.

    750 S. Halsted Street (Corner of Halsted and Polk)

  2. Copies of the Open House 2024 event guide will be distributed at check-in.
  3. Go social. Follow @apply2uic on Twitter and Instagram. We'll be posting live reminders and play-by-plays. Share your UIC Open House experience using the hashtag #UICOH for freebies.

What to bring

  1. Make your Check-in a Breeze. Bring your printed confirmation email with your QR code registration.
  2. Plan for Academics and Fun. All sorts of ongoing activities will be open to everyone on campus!
  3. Prepare to move. Most of the Open House will take place north of Roosevelt Road, south of Van Buren, and between Halsted and Morgan, but that is a lot of area to travel. We recommend comfortable shoes. Let us know if you need accommodations as early as possible.
