Criminal History Disclosure Requirement

The University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign is committed to maintaining a safe environment for all members of the University community. As part of this commitment, the University requires applicants who are under current indictment or have been convicted of a crime (other than a routine traffic offense or in a juvenile proceeding) to disclose this information as a mandatory step in the application process. A previous conviction or current indictment does not automatically bar admission to the University, but does require review.

Complete information must be sent via email to conflictresolution@illinois.edu as soon as possible upon application submission. This is a separate step that you must complete after submitting your application. Admission decisions may be delayed if applicants do not send this disclosure upon application submission, and failure to submit this information directly to the Office of Conflict Resolution may result in a denial decision.

Applicants are responsible for verifying receipt by the University and for maintaining a copy of the receipt certifying submission. Information to be submitted includes a brief explanation, location (city, state, country) of conviction or current indictment, dates, and court disposition, in English. This statement must include a grant of permission to the University for complete access to criminal records, if any. For further information on this requirement, call (217) 333-3680.
