WIMSE sections and courses are designed to aid students in their course work. Having someone who lives nearby in the same class is very helpful in forming study groups and getting your questions answered. Many of the professors aren't able to answer a burning questions at 2:00 AM! We encourage WIMSE students to sign up for classes with each other … it is to your benefit!

Enroll in WIMSE courses via UI Integrate, as you do for all other courses. The only exception is for music lessons, for which you must enter the lottery on August 23rd. If you have any problems or questions, contact wimse@uiuc.edu or Kari at 5-5434.
