Department Administrators
Department administrators supporting international scholar status
If your work involves supporting or managing the immigration status of international faculty, staff, or visitors (referred to collectively as “scholars”) then you will need a myOIS account in order to access full client services. With a myOIS account, you will be able to submit requests such as check-ins for non-UIC-sponsored employees, departures, and J-1 Exchange Visitor forms.
- Click the link above to access the myOIS log-in page.
- Click the button for “Full Client Services for Students & Scholars.”
- Enter your UIN and password.
- From there, click “Departmental Services” on the left-hand menu to view available e-forms.
- If you do not yet have departmental access to myOIS you will be prompted to “Lookup New Account” after entering your UIN and password. Please click “Admin” and then “Request Account.” Please note that new account requests are reviewed by OIS and are not instantaneous.
If you have any issues logging into myOIS or navigating the portal as a department administrator supporting international scholar status, please email oisscholar@uic.edu.
Department administrators supporting international student status
If your work involves supporting the immigration status of international students, you do not need a myOIS account. At this time, international students self-initiate all requests related to their F-1 or J-1 status in myOIS. If you are named as the approving administrator on a request, you will receive an email notification including a link to log into myOIS as a third-party approver. Again, this does not require a myOIS account.
If you have any issues responding to a myOIS third-party approver request as an administrator supporting international student status, please email ois@uic.edu.
