CUPPA Academic Advising
Navigating college - life, classes, internships, professors, schedules - can be a course in itself! CUPPA's team of academic advisors will help you achieve your academic goals and get to graduation. We are here to work with you to help you find the right major and to make sure you are on track for completing your degree.
All first year undergraduates in CUPPA are assigned to a CUPPA undergraduate advisor upon admission to the college. After completion of the first year, each undergraduate is then assigned to work with advisors in the department of their major/minor.
Current UIC Undergrads who want to transfer into a CUPPA program can find the Intercollege Transfer Petition Form here.
Graduate students in CUPPA are assigned to an advisor within each department upon admission to their master's degree program.
The CUPPA advising team is here to assist prospective and current students with planning degree programs, understanding responsibilities as a student and succeeding in your academic career at UIC. Current students should log in to my.UIC.edu and make an appointment through the iAdvise system. Prospective students should email cuppa_advising@uic.edu to make an appointment.
