Everything you need to know … The Blue Book …
Students need to read the Blue Book to be aware of the rules, regulations and guidelines of Illinois College. Please reference the Blue Book, a tradition at Illinois College, to guide you through the academic year. The Blue Book is available online in the Student Handbook.

On Fridays We Wear Blue
Show your IC pride on Fridays by wearing your blue IC spirit wear each week. On each Friday we’ll have a few student leaders that will wander campus to "reward" people for wearing IC blue. They may stand at the Illinois College seal and catch people as they walk by on their way to class, they may pop into the library or head to any other building and offer up a fun incentive to any student who is wearing IC blue and showing their IC pride that day. So, remember – “On Fridays We Wear Blue!”
