The Office of International Services will expand Open Advising hours for International Students during the fall 2016 semester. Effective Monday, August 22nd, Open Advising hours will be as follows:
F-1 and J-1 Open Advising

Wednesdays: 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Thursdays: 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Fridays: By Appointment Only
Open Advising is a time for students to meet with OIS Advisors to discuss simple matters without having to make an appointment. Appointments are required for students to meet with OIS Advisors at all other times. **International faculty and staff always need an appointment to meet with an OIS Advisor.
Check-ins for J-1s, H-1Bs, and O-1s:
Mondays and Thursdays – 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. (J-1 scholars should arrive at 2:00 p.m.)
This is a time for new, UIC-sponsored, J-1 Exchange Visitors, H-1B and O-1 workers to report to OIS and meet with an advisor one-on-one. Check-ins are required for all new visitors in these statuses, even if they have been at UIC in another status previously. The advisor will review important information regarding his or her status and invite them to any required OIS Orientations. Check-ins are required of visitors in other statuses, but may be done without a personal meeting and are not limited to this check-in time. Contact ois@uic.edu if you have questions about the proper check-in procedure for a particular situation.
