CS/DS Advising
Introduction
The Computer Science & Data Science Advising Team aims to foster student success among enrolled undergraduate CS/DS students through individualized support based on:
- Collaborative and proactive student-facing advising, programs, and social events
- Advising includes, but is not limited to: academic progress, degree planning, and academic intervention
- Equitable practices that promote an inclusive environment by paying attention to each individual’s diverse identities and needs
- Commitment towards building cohesive advisor-student relationships that empower students’ self-advocacy in an academic, personal, and professional environment
As enrollment increases in the CS department, we want to sustainably provide impactful and individualized advising resources. All while standardizing procedures to ensure consistency, efficiency, and equitable support for every student’s success.
All undergraduates in the Department of Computer Science have an assigned advisor for the duration of their academic career at UIC.
- Continuing CS, DS, & CS+DES students can find their advisor assignment via the My Success Network homepage on your iAdvise account.
- Incoming CS/DS students will be informed of the department's advisor assignment timeline and how to receive advisor assistance during their New Student Advising Registration (NSAR) session prior to their first semester at UIC.
- Incoming CS+DES students are advised by the College of Architecture, Design, and the Arts (see advisor information below).
Prospective CS/DS Students: Academic Advising is only provided after admission into the College of Engineering. Decisions and communications for prospective students applying from outside UIC are handled through UIC Admissions; and through the College for Intercollege Transfer (ICT) applicants (usually 2-3 weeks after UIC grades are released). College of Engineering offers ICT sessions every semester for non-engineering continuing UIC students; contact uic-engr@uic.edu if you missed all available session for the semester. Interested non-UIC applicants are encouraged to connect with an Engineering Recruiter; coe-apply@uic.edu or visit the following our prospective student information page.
Please contact cs-ugrad@uic.edu if our website does not answer your specific questions or if you have further questions about the programs we offer.
We've Moved
During the summer, the CS/DS advising team moved their offices to the new Computer Design Research & Learning Center and are now located on the third floor through the CS Student Affairs Office (CDRLC 3410).
