IlliniFest registration will open in late July. You'll build your own schedule for the day by signing up individually for all the events you're interested in, from sessions with our academic communities to campus tours and so much more!
After you register, you'll receive a confirmation email with a link to your personalized schedule for the day. This will include all the events you've signed up for. We'll also email you your schedule the morning of your visit so it's fresh in your inbox!
When you arrive on campus, you can go directly to the first event on your schedule. This is where you'll check in. Check-in times vary depending on the event, but most will be available 15 to 30 minutes before the event begins.
If you plan to drive, I-72, I-74, and I-57 all lead directly to Champaign-Urbana. You can also arrive by train or bus at the Illinois Terminal, which is two miles away from campus, or you can fly to Champaign's Willard Airport, which is five miles away from campus.
Many campus parking lots are free on weekends. You can find parking options near your first event location using our campus map. For all campus parking options, view our parking map. Please be aware that street parking is not free on weekends. Make sure to check lot and meter signage to ensure you won't be ticketed.
This hotel sits in the heart of campus, offering beautiful Quad views, free parking, and complimentary breakfast vouchers. To reserve a room, visit their website or call 217-333-1241.
