WAITLIST

If you are denied – or are not yet eligible to apply

• Add your name to the KN Waitlist located on the Kinesiology home page at http://www.ahs.uic.edu/kn/

• Waitlist opens the 1st day of registration each term

• Eligibility – requires prerequisites and minimum GPA

• Registration in a KN course, as a non-KN student, does not guarantee future admission to the department
