Office of the Dean of Students

Student Assistance offers help to students in addressing the complex crises, life traumas, and barriers that may adversely affect their academic success or collegiate experience. Student Assistance empowers students to take an active role in their education by helping them evaluate and connect with the resources and options available to address their situation.

Community Standards empowers students to uphold the community values of integrity, accountability, and respect. In instances where students’ behavioral choices are potentially in conflict with these values, the office facilitates a variety of methods meant to resolve conflicts fairly, hold students found responsible accountable, and spur their ethical and educational development. Additionally, the office provides education and training programs for faculty, staff, and students on community standards issues.

Student Veteran Affairs provides a welcoming and supportive environment for our military-connected students.  We provide resources, assistance, and programming to ease the transition and ensure your academic success.

Student Legal Services (SLS) provides free and confidential legal services to UIC students. We help UIC students resolve their legal issues with as little disruption as possible on their path to graduation. SLS focuses on educating students on the law and enabling them to make informed choices.
