The Graduate College has an incredible resource called GradMAP. This is a culmination of campus resources to get you started as an on-campus or online student. Here is a sampling of what the GradMAP includes:
- Quick Guide – the official new student checklist that includes the essentials to get you started quickly.
- Living in and Visiting Champaign-Urbana
- Campus Resources – the library system, writer's workshop, and more
- Building Community
- Health, Well-being, and Safety – health insurance, health services, the counseling center, disability resources, and more
- Funding and Employment – benefits, checklists for new fellows/assistants, types of funding
For international students, make sure you visit International Student & Scholar Services (ISSS). Their office works with departments and international students through advising, immigration services, programming, advocacy, and outreach.
