Resources for Students during the Stay-at-Home Order
The stay-at-home order is creating hardship and stress for many UIC students and we know that you have lost much needed income. There are emergency funds available to help students through this crisis (for food, rent, educational needs) available from the campus and the college. These emergency funds are intended to help get you through the worst of this crisis and the campus is streamlining the disbursement process to make it as fast as possible.
