Registering for Courses

Students register for courses using Enterprise Self-Service. There are two methods to register for courses: classic registration or enhanced registration. Both methods will allow you to enroll in courses, but enhanced registration includes additional planning features. View the Spring course schedule on Course Explorer.

Program Planning

Students must complete 40 credit hours of coursework, including two required courses (IS 505 – 4 credit hours; IS 510 – 4 credit hours), in order to earn their Master of Science degree. Beyond the required courses there is no prescribed course schedule; however, students can utilize the MSLIS Pathways to help plan their program of study.

Disability Resources & Educational Services Accommodations

The Division of Disability Resources and Educational Services (DRES) is the designated office of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign that maintains disability-related documents, certifies eligibility for disability services, determines reasonable accommodations, and develops and coordinates plans for the provision of such accommodations for students with disabilities. Contact DRES immediately if you are seeking accommodations as requests can take some time to process.

Academic services for students with disabilities are coordinated by DRES personnel who serve as access specialists. Each student who registers with DRES for the purpose of requesting disability-related academic adjustments and accommodations will be assigned an access specialist based upon the student’s primary disability. Additionally, there are services offered by DRES that are commonly used by students with various types of disabilities.

Students who wish to learn more about DRES services should call 217-333-4603 where they will be routed to the appropriate access specialist, or they can visit the DRES website to complete and submit an application and review the disability documentation requirements.
