GENERAL INFORMATION

All requirements for admission must be met in full before the applicant may enter. Students are permitted to enter the Colleges of Medicine, Dentistry, and Pharmacy (located in Chicago) only at the beginning of the first semester. They can enter the College of Engineering, the College of Law and the Library School to best advantage at the beginning of the first semester. In all other cases, they may enter at the beginning of either semester. Official credentials should be sent to the Registrar as soon as possible after the close of the school year in June. Upon receipt of these credentials, the Registrar will communicate with the applicant regarding his admission. In cases where the application for admission has not been received until the week prior to the opening of the University, it may not always be possible for the Registrar to notify the applicant of his status prior to his arrival at the University. It is particularly important that candidates for admission to the pre-medical curriculum make early application by submitting their credentials immediately upon graduation from the secondary school.
