Before You Register
Complete Your Financial Responsibility Agreement
Before registering, you must accept the Financial Responsibility Agreement for 2025-2026. You can complete this step any time before registration begins.
Check for Holds on Your Account
If you have any holds (e.g., unpaid balance, missing immunization records), you will not be able to register until they are resolved. Please check your account and contact the appropriate department if needed.
- Student Account hold questions, call Student Accounts at 630-844-5470
- Immunization hold questions, call Health Services at 630-844-5434
Plan Your Courses Carefully
If you receive federal or state financial aid, you must enroll only in courses required for your degree. You are not eligible for aid once all degree requirements are complete, even if you have not applied for graduation.
Double Majors – Plan Strategically!
- If you are pursuing a double major, you should plan to take the final required courses for both majors in your last semester.
Summer 2025 Financial Aid
- If you plan to use financial aid for summer 2025, complete the 2025 Summer Aid Application to learn about your eligibility.

- Request an exception to a university policy (General Petition Form)
- Register for more than 18 hours in a semester (overload status)

Schedule an appointment if you need to:
- Get feedback on your proposed course schedule
- Change/add a major (you may need to meet with a different advisor)
- Change/add/remove a minor
- Register for an internship, independent study, or course by special arrangement
- To schedule an appointment, contact the Crouse Center for Academic Advising at 630-844-6870 or request a phone call to schedule.
