Please take note of the following Summer 2018 registration requirements for graduate students:

Grad students taking their prelim or thesis defense in Summer 2018:  If you plan to take your preliminary or thesis examinations anytime during the summer term, i.e., from May 14 - August 27, you must be registered for the Summer 2018 term.

Fellows: Students with waiver-generating fellowships are required to register for the summer term for at least 0 credit hours (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 you receive a summer assistantship (the period between May 14 and August 27), and you were registered for the immediately preceding spring semester or you are registered for the following fall semester, campus policy does not require you 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
