Academic Advising

Advising PIN (required for registration each semester)

The Department of Humanities will issue the advising PIN required for registration each semester of student enrollment at Illinois Tech. In order to obtain your PIN, you must meet with your adviser (either in person or over the phone). Advisers will contact students to schedule an advising meeting. If you have not heard from your adviser when the registration period opens, contact Carly A. Kocurek, director of graduate studies for the Department of Humanities, at 312.567.3465.

Graduate Academic Advising

Graduate students are required to complete a mandatory advising session with the graduate academic (or Accelerated Master's Program) adviser. The GP Graduate (Program) Advising Hold becomes active before the next semester of registration opens for:

  • Accelerated master's students in the first semester of graduate enrollment
  • Traditional master's students at 9 earned or enrolled credits
  • Doctoral students at 18 earned or enrolled credits
  • The hold prevents registration before the following semester until lifted by the adviser
  • The mandatory advising session is required for the student to clear the registration hold

If you do not know the name of your adviser or have not heard from your adviser when the registration period opens, please contact Carly A. Kocurek, director of graduate studies.
