Welcome to the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign's Grainger College of Engineering’s Undergraduate Advising Wiki. Here, you will find information to help you succeed as an Illinois engineering student, from before your arrival on campus through your graduation, and everything in between.
We understand that the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is of significant concern to all of our students. Of primary importance is your health and safety. Please routinely check your email and follow all recommendations from campus, college, and departmental leadership.
To protect the health of our staff and entire community, the services provided by the Undergraduate Programs Office will transition to remote delivery until further notice on Tuesday, March 17, 2020.
