Go Illini!

A good tip for new and returning students is to locate their classroom before the first class. That way, you know where you are going and you won’t be late. If you are adventurous enough, map out your daily route from class to class and do a walk-through today to get comfortable with it.

Check the location of all your classes:

1. Go to the Illinois Campus Map Directory
2. Either search, or select your building from the list
3. Click on “ADA Accessibility Map” under the address
4. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click “Floor Plans”
5. Locate the room where you need to go to.

If you don’t know the building or room number of your course, check out the Fall 2009 Class Schedule.

Good luck on the first day of class!
