Admissions

Intercollege transfer students are current undergraduate UIC students who are in an undergraduate college outside of the College of Architecture, Design, and the Arts (CADA). Students should submit the Intercollege Transfer Application for consideration for change of degree from one college to CADA.

Current CADA students wishing to change degree programs within the college should submit the CADA Change of Degree form.

For students wishing to add a dual degree in CADA, select the dual degree option on the appropriate form for your student type.

Please note that you must have a minimum of one semester of credits at UIC in order to be eligible to apply for an intercollege transfer, change of degree, or adding a dual degree.

You must log into the forms using a UIC email. Please submit the form ONLY ONCE.

Application links for Spring 2027 are now open. If you do not see your program listed, it is not available for Spring. If you have questions, email cadainfo@uic.edu

Applications must be completed at least one semester in advance of the next eligible term. Applications are accepted through the last day of finals of the preceding semester. Decisions are released via email after final grades post, and those admitted will be required to confirm the degree change via email.

Please note that all minimum requirements speak to eligibility only, these minimums do not guarantee admission. Admission is selective, competitive, and is not guaranteed even if minimums are met.
