Welcome back to campus!

I hope your winter break was relaxing. As we begin a new semester, Student Affairs wants to make sure you are able to focus your studies and get the most from your Illinois experience this spring.

However, a national issue may interrupt your focus. As you are probably aware, the partial government shutdown, which began December 22, is stretching into 2019.

If your family has been affected by the partial government shutdown, the university is committed to supporting you and will do everything we can to ensure your coursework is not disrupted.

General Questions & Concerns
If you need assistance, or would like to talk with someone about your concerns related to the partial government shutdown, please contact the Office of the Dean of Students at (217) 333-0050.

Financial Concerns
Please direct questions about financial aid to the Office of Student Financial Aid. Call (217) 333-0100 or email finaid@illinois.edu for help.

Remember that no matter the challenges you face, you are not alone. You are part of the Illinois family and we are here for you.

Warm Regards,

Dr. Danita M. B. Young
Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs
University of Illinois
