We understand that ongoing concerns surrounding the coronavirus (COVID-19) may prevent you from traveling to Chicago to attend our university in person.
Illinois Tech is committed to helping you take the next step with your education. We are offering a variety of options to help you begin your graduate studies as soon as possible:
Online Courses: We are now offering several business, engineering, information technology, and science courses online. By taking your courses online, you can begin your studies on time, even if your travel is delayed in 2021. When the travel restrictions end, you can continue your studies on our Chicago campus beginning in fall 2021.
Admission Deferral: You can choose to defer your studies for up to one year (two full semesters). Since you have already been admitted, you can simply wait to travel to Chicago at a later date. This is a good option if you would like to enroll in a program that does not offer online courses. If you are interested in an admission deferral, please update your intent to enroll by logging into your app tracker or email the department of graduate admission, with deferral request in the subject line, at grad.admission@iit.edu.
