Fall 2009 Admitted Checklist
Accept / Decline
Decline your offer of admission.
If you have already registered for fall courses and are now declining the offer, you must contact your college office to have your courses dropped.
If you wish to accept your admission offer at this point, send your request to admissions@illinois.edu.
The Accept/Decline will be unavailable on the following dates:
IDs and Computing
You will frequently use your NetID to access resources on campus. To claim and set your NetID and NetID password, you need your University Identification Number (UIN) located on the back of your Notice of Admission letter (included in the Admitted Student Guide packet). To view your financial aid award letter, you will need to claim your NetID. This can be done without accepting your offer of admission; however, you will be unable to apply for housing or sign up for a Summer Registration date until you have officially accepted the offer.
