These are the simple steps students need to take to complete their enrollment at Illinois.
Checklist for Students
Students must log in once they've been admitted to manage their admitted checklist. This view-only checklist is provided to simply showcase the next steps to enrollment.
Accept / Decline
In order for students to accept their offer, they must submit a nonrefundable enrollment fee of $150. This must be done before completing the following steps on the checklist. However, they can check their financial aid status and set their IDs and Passwords before accepting their offer of admission.
IDs and Computing
In order for students to check their financial aid status, they must claim and set their NetID and NetID Password, and Enterprise ID and Enterprise ID Password. They will frequently use these to access resources on campus.

Tuition Billing and Payment Options
Once a month, an e-mail will be sent to students through their University of Illinois e-mail address, reminding them to view their student account for recent activity and to make any payments by the due date. The University of Illinois does not mail paper billing statements.
To allow a parent to view and make payments for tuition, fees, and University Housing charges, students will need to grant them access to your Student Account as an Authorized Payer.
