before registration begins for the fall term

WAITLIST
If you are denied – or are not yet eligible to apply
• Add your name to the KN Waitlist located on the
Kinesiology home page at http://www.ahs.uic.edu/kn/

granted until AFTER all current KN students, minors, and
newly admitted freshmen and transfer students have

does not guarantee future admission to the department
