Next Steps for Professional Science Master's Students

---

Welcome to IIT! We are delighted to have you join the Biological, Chemical and Physical Sciences (BCPS) department and have devised a few "next steps" to help you become familiar with IIT.

IIT Websites
The answers to many of your questions can be found on the following web sites. Please take a look.
www.enrollment.iit.edu
www.grad.iit.edu/
www.iit.edu/current/index.html

Student E-mail Policy
All official e-mail correspondence will be sent to your IIT email address. This @IIT e-mail address is assigned to all students at the time of admission. To view your IIT e-mail account and receive forwarding or activation instructions, please go to the Enrollment Services site. Click on Web for Students, then login and view e-mail.

Registration
You are strongly encouraged to register for classes online via the Web for Students at the Enrollment Services site. When you register for an internet section, the course number will be followed by the section number "251", "252", or "253". If you are out-of-state then you need to use the designation "internet out-of-state". If you are in-state then the designation is "internet in-state". If you are taking the course at an IITV corporate site, the section number will be "092". If you are taking the course here on the main campus, the section number will be "051".

Textbooks
The list of required textbooks will be posted at the beginning of each semester on the PSM Home Page. If you do not see your class listed, please contact the instructor.

Exam Proctors
Since internet classes generally necessitate proctored exams, you are required, with the help of Chuck Scott of IIT Online, to select a proctor and establish a site where you will be able to take the exam. These sites can include a local public library, community college testing center, or even the HR department at your place of work. If you are unsure if your class requires proctored exams, please contact your instructor directly. Chuck Scott can be reached by email at scott@iit.edu or by phone 312-567-5217.

Tuition Payment
You should receive your tuition bill within 10-14 days of registering for classes. You can view your account, pay online, and complete employer deferment forms at the student accounts section on the Enrollment Services site.

Student ID
All registered part-time and full-time distance learning students should be able to receive an ID card by mail. If interested in getting an IIT ID, please email hawkcard@iit.edu with the following information:

First Name
Last Name
Address including street number and name
City, state, and zip code
Phone Number or a number where you can be reached
e-mail Address
Class Location: internet or IITV location

A brief description as to why an ID is of value or benefit to you. HawkCard will take this information to determine if you need a photo or non-photo ID and they will contact you if there are any additional questions.

Please contact them via email or phone (312.567.8968) if you have any other questions.

Immunization Requirement
In accordance with Illinois law, all students born on or after January 1, 1957, and enrolling at Illinois Institute of Technology for the first time after July 1, 1989, must supply documented evidence of vaccination for diphtheria, tetanus, measles, rubella and mumps. Students taking their classes via the internet can file a written request for exemption. Questions regarding the immunization policy should be directed to:
