UPDATE AS OF AUGUST 20, 2020:
To ensure the health and safety of our current students, we strongly request that prospective students refrain from visiting campus in person this fall. Large-scale and individual campus visits through University and Gies Undergraduate Admissions have been suspended indefinitely. Anyone who is not a part of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign community will not have physical access to campus residence halls, academic and administrative buildings, faculty, or staff.
We are taking many measures to keep our students and our University community safe, and to help reduce the number of possible exposures. Please join us in our efforts and participate in our virtual admission visit programs in lieu of coming to campus this fall.
We will host in-person events again once it is safe to do so. We appreciate your patience and understanding in advance!
Gies Virtual Meetings
Let’s discuss all things Gies Business! Join us for a meeting with our Admissions Director or Coordinator to explore Gies majors and career options, student organizations, study abroad programs, and career services support in regards to internships and full-time employment.
We directly admit freshman and transfer applicants into Gies Business, so we cover admission requirements and the application review process in this virtual meeting as well.

10 am CT meetings on November 6 and December 4
Peer-to-Peer Chat Sessions
Prospective students can talk one-on-one with a current Gies student about academics, housing, student life, internships, sports, or whatever else you'd like! These student-to-student conversations will allow you to see a clearer picture as a Gies Illini.
