Race/Ethnicity Data Request Policy

Based on the 2023 United States Supreme Court decision, race/ethnicity data collected on the undergraduate admissions application will not be loaded into the banner system until the first day of classes and should not be shared/viewed prior to that time without an approved exception. Exceptions can be granted for data related to race/ethnicity to be shared with individuals, preferably outside of the admissions firewall (those who do not participate in making admission decisions), by means of an approved request. Requests will be reviewed by the Director of Undergraduate Admissions and a recommendation will be made to the Associate Provost for Enrollment [...]

Litmus

Litmus is a tool for designing, building, and testing emails. We require that all non-text-only emails sent to prospective and admitted undergraduate students be created within Litmus; for exceptions, review our Alternative Access Plan. This allows us to utilize shared templates and test for accessibility and other potential delivery issues. Litmus training guide Roles & Access Everyone that logs in to Litmus as either a Code Editor or Reviewer will have access to all emails.

Applicant Communication Policy

An applicant is defined as a student that has submitted an application but has not yet received a decision. Therefore an applicant audience includes students that will unfortunately be denied. Due to the sensitive nature of applicant communications, colleges and units are not allowed to communicate with applicants. The Office of Undergraduate Admissions manages an applicant communications plan to ensure students continue to receive touch points from Illinois while awaiting a decision.
