Information Sessions

Pre-admission advising is available by appointment in both the Waukegan and Grayslake facilities. Contact Tonia Baxter, phone (847) 665-4014, for more information.

Several of our member institutions have offices in the University Center’s Grayslake facility and hold regular office hours and schedule individual advising appointments.  You will find information about such services on their own webpage within the University Center website.  You may click on “Participating Universities” (above) for a drop-down list of our member schools that will take you to any of the member institution pages.

On this Information Session page, you will find listings of specific events being held to enable future students to learn more about program offerings.  It is updated frequently, so please bookmark it or plan to visit again.

“University Center Nights”

The University Center will host education fairs to provide information to prospective students about University Center offerings. They will take place in the Multi-Purpose Room of our Grayslake facility. Each event will showcase the University Center’s undergraduate and graduate and professional development programs and will provide the opportunity to meet with representatives from the member schools who can discuss their programs in depth.  The University Center staff will also attend to provide pre-admission advising.

The next “University Center Night” will be:

Tuesday, March 20, 2012, from 6 - 8 pm

In addition to the usual opportunity to meet program representatives to discuss the programs offered through the University Center, the March 20th event will include two special opportunities.  The first is the opportunity to complete and submit electronically the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) in one of our computer labs with bilingual volunteers who can assist students and parents who might be completing the FAFSA for the first time.  The other is an onsite broadcast by WXLC.

In the Local Community

The University Center staffs tables at a variety of local community events, local employers, and the College of Lake County.  Most of these events are open to the public, although those held at worksites are usually open only to staff of that employer.  Find out where and when University Center will be out in the community by visiting our Outreach Events page.
