Week of January 16, 2006

Spring U-Pass Distribution
All day division students who are considered full-time for the spring 2006 semester will receive a U-Pass, which provides unlimited rides on the CTA from January 17 - May 19, 2006. Status as a full-time student is determiend by your official division status, and not be the number of credit hours you take in a particular semester.

If you were registered as a full-time student by 5:00pm on December 16, 2005, you will be eligible to pick up your U-Pass during the first available distribution. Spring U-Pass cards and new Chicago-Kent ID cards will be distributed in the Lobby on:

Thursday, January 12 at 12:00-3:00
Friday, January 13 at 12:00-3:00
Tuesday, January 17 at 11:30-1:00 and 4:30-6:00

Students will only be permitted to pick up their own U-Pass cards.

If you were not registered as a full-time, day division student by December 16, 2005, you had a financial hold on your account on that date, or you did not have an ID picture on file in the Registrar's Office by that date, you will not receive a U-Pass during the initial distribution period. Students who qualify for the U-Pass after December 16 or were not included in the initial spring U-Pass request sent to CTA will have passes ordered for them on January 23, 2006. We expect these passes to arrive at the law school by Feburary 1, 2006.

Spring Health Insurance Enrollment Period

If you are on a F1 or J1 visa, you cannot waive student health insurance.

If you were enrolled in student health insurance in the fall and no longer want the coverage either because you have another insurance plan or are now registered for less than 12 credits, you can cancel student health insurance for the spring by contacting Melody Jack at jack@iit.edu by January 26, 2006.
