Congratulations on your admission to the MSPE Program and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign!
Here you will find information to help make your transition to the University as smooth as possible. Please feel free to contact the MSPE office with any concerns or questions.
Arrival Information - Fall 2023
- Please plan to arrive in Champaign-Urbana no later than Saturday, August 12. We highly recommend you arrive even earlier, so that you have time to recover from jet lag, set up your household, and to take care of University matters.
Arrival after August 12 is subject to approval. We are ONLY considering those who are not able to obtain a visa in time to arrive to campus on or before August 12; proof will be required. Email the MSPE office for approval.
- English Placement Test (EPT)--ONLY for those international students who are required to take the EPT (check your Notice of Admission). The EPT is administered online, and registration and/or testing is already taking place. Please register for your EPT now, as test dates quickly fill up.
We HIGHLY recommend you register for any of the May, June or July sessions; the earlier the better. The very latest date test date that you should register for is August 10; if you register for a later test date, we will not have your results in time for your advising appointment and you will not be permitted to register for your fall 2023 courses.
Again, register for earliest date available, as you will not be able to advise or register for your fall 2023 classes until you've taken the EPT and we've received the results.
Email the MSPE office with your EPT test date and time.
- Orientation begins Monday, August 14 at 7:45 am
- Classes begin on Monday, August 21
