Academics
Count on us to reach out to you about midterm and final grades, course registration, and much more. Whether it’s an individual appointment, a sponsored workshop, or an announcement in our IP Picks bi-weekly student bulletin – we’ll be working to ensure you have the resources you need to be a successful student.
Don’t forget, in order to remain eligible for the I-Promise Scholarship, students must meet the Satisfactory Academic Progress requirements as outlined by the Office of Student Financial Aid. This means it is essential that you:
- Rely on the professional staff within your academic program for assistance with course selection and schedule changes. Remember: eligibility for the scholarship runs for 4 years, fall and spring terms only.
- Manage your time and priorities appropriately and get involved on campus.
- Reach out for personal and academic support early and often. It’s ok to ask questions.
Closely monitor your progress in each course and be prepared to take action when necessary. Stay informed of important dates and deadlines. See the Fall 2022 calendar below.

IUB Pay-It-Later: I-Promise has an arrangement with the Illini Union Bookstore which allows I-Promise Scholars to charge up to $600 in books at the start of each semester. Remember, you will have to pay back what you borrowed before a specific deadline at mid-semester. This is especially helpful for students who don’t have the money just yet and plan to use their wages from their part-time Federal Work-Study position to cover this expense. Read more about Pay-It-Later.
Non-IUB Options: Buying new books when you don’t have to is a very costly mistake! There are many alternatives for textbooks, such as buying used, buying online, and renting. Check out Facebook Marketplace, Amazon, Thriftbooks, and more!
