Enrollment Checklist :: International Student

Log in to the IC Admission Portal

Login to your IC Admission portal. On the homepage you will see a checklist of enrollment items that you still need to complete with a red “X” next to them.

Log in to the IC Student Portal through Single Sign-On (SSO)

This SSO is the system that has all of the applications that IC students use to complete many of their enrollment steps. Set up your login information, security questions and authentication by going to login.ic.edu and using the login credentials that you can find at admission.ic.edu/apply/status.

NOTE: Make sure that you are using the Google Chrome web browser when logging into the SSO, as other browsers tend to not work with the SSO login.

Set up your IC Email

Each student receives a Gmail account that is permanent as long as the campus is using Google services. Go to login.ic.edu and select Gmail. Contact the IT Help Desk at servicedesk@ic.edu or call 217.245.3416 if you have issues logging in. 

Remember to check your IC email on a daily basis, this is how we will communicate with you from today moving forward.

Complete and submit Health and Immunizations Forms

Complete your health, immunization and physical form by July 1. Download your health forms below. To return the forms, upload them at login.ic.edu in the Chesley Health and Wellness Center app. 

If there are required immunizations on this form that you have not yet had, we strongly encourage you to get them in your home country before coming, as it is usually much cheaper in your home country than getting them once you arrive in the USA.

Your home country doctor will have a vaccination record and will know which ones you have had. They can then give you the needed immunizations that are referenced in the Health History form if you do not already have them. Once completed, upload the health forms to your IC application portal. Please return these health forms to IC as soon as possible so that we can review them and let you know if additional vaccines are needed.

Note: International students who arrive in the US without all necessary immunizations will be required to get them during the international student orientation, and at your own expense.

Look for an email from the Office of Admission
