Summer 2013 Registration Information for Grad Students

Please take note of the following Summer 2013 registration requirements for graduate students:

Grad students taking their prelim/thesis defense in Summer 2013:  If you plan to take your preliminary or thesis examinations anytime during the summer term, i.e., from May 13 - August 25, you must be registered for the Summer 2013 term.

Fellows: Students with waiver-generating fellowships are required to register for at least 4 hours in an 8-week course (thesis research credit is acceptable).

Newly Admitted Students: Students admitted for summer term who receive assistantships must register for the summer term.

Summer RA or TA Assistants: If a student receives a summer assistantship (the period between May 16 and August 15), and the student was registered for the immediately preceding spring semester or has registered for the following fall semester, the campus policy does not require the student to register for the summer term. Students who do not register, however, will not receive health insurance or medical coverage unless they register for health coverage separately: http://www.grad.illinois.edu/fellowship/healthins
