I am having trouble registering for a class. Why can't I register?
Registration for a class will depend on a few things, including confirmation of address
and phone number, restrictive standing, financial aid reasons, placement testing,
prerequisites, conduct or money owed to the institution. Call 815-825-9375 for assistance.
What does it mean to be on restricted standing?
Students who fall below the minimum grade-point average (GPA) for good academic standing
are placed on restricted standing. While on restricted standing, students must meet
with an academic advisor each term before enrolling in classes. Restricted standing
is lifted once the student’s GPA meets or exceeds the required threshold for good
standing. Learn more about academic standing policies and procedures in the Academic Catalog.
NOTE: It is your responsibility as a student to know when your classes start and end.
NOTE: If it is past the refund period and you want to request a refund for your courses, you must complete the Tuition and Hardship Appeal form, available in Student Services, C2100.
