Decisions
How can I obtain more specific information about my denial decision?
An admissions counselor would be happy to provide more information regarding the admission decision. Contact us at 217-333-0302 and ask to speak with a counselor.
I was denied because my high school grades weren’t competitive for admission. What are my options?
We encourage you to reapply once you have completed 36 or more graded, transferable hours of college coursework after graduating from high school. Please refer to our Transfer Handbook for a list of transfer admission prerequisites.
What does "Deny—Incomplete Application" mean?
It means you did not submit the required supporting materials by the deadline.
Can I reapply for the same term?
No, you can’t submit a new application for the term to which you were denied. You must wait to reapply for the next available admission term. Please review our open and closed majors to see if your desired program is available in the next term.
Appeals
Can I appeal my decision?
Yes, although an appeal should only be filed if new and compelling information is available or if you'd like to be considered for a program you didn't apply to. You can submit the Decision Appeal Form in myIllini to be considered for your original major or a new major. We encourage you to speak with a transfer admissions counselor regarding your intent to appeal before submitting the Decision Appeal Form. Contact an admission counselor at 217-333-0302 for more information.
I submitted an appeal. When will I find out if I’ve been reconsidered?
We’ll notify you of your decision 2 to 4 weeks after your appeal has been submitted. The deadline to appeal is December 20 for spring and June 1 for fall. Your decision will be posted within myIllini.
