Start One of Your First LAS 110 Assignments |
Looking to get a head start on your first LAS 110 assignment? Flames THRIVE is an orientation to Blackboard and Learning with Technology at UIC. Blackboard houses many important components to your courses — where you find readings, submit assignments, watch lecture videos, access the syllabus, discuss topics, and so much more.
In the Flames THRIVE assignment, you will have the opportunity to learn how you can connect with UIC faculty, your peers, and general support resources through UIC technology. Being a successful UIC student means developing skills for navigating the many tools that support your learning, the heart of which is Blackboard. You will encounter these tools throughout your time as a student, and Flames THRIVE can help to set you up for success!

Face Masks Required in Class |
|
Let's create a community of caring, protect each other |
Masks covering both the mouth and nose must be worn at all times by all students, faculty, and staff while on campus and inside any building regardless of vaccination status. If you do not wear a mask, you will be asked to leave the classroom and will not be allowed back in class unless or until you wear a mask. If you have forgotten your mask, you may pick one up from one of the student information desks on campus during the first two weeks of campus. Students who do not comply with the mask-wearing policy will be reported to the Dean of Students. Eating and drinking are not allowed in classrooms. |

Welcome to LAS 110: Experience UIC! |
|
You are a part of the UIC College of Liberal Arts and Sciences community — wherever you are this fall: in the classroom, meeting with advisors or faculty, using our great LAS tutoring resources; across the campus, the city of Chicago, Illinois, and beyond; and online with our weekly LAS 110 classes and this resource, LAS 110 News. Each week LAS 110 News will share tips, help you navigate your first-semester, and explore how to Experience UIC during this unique fall semester.
LAS 110 is designed for first-year students to:
-
Identify and utilize UIC programs, resources, and services that will support their academic success, personal needs, and co-curricular campus involvement.
-
Explore strengths, abilities, values, and motivation and apply this self-knowledge to personal and academic goal-setting.
-
Practice professional and effective ways to communicate with UIC faculty, staff and peers to build a sense of belonging, foster community, and create a support network.
-
Learn about the value of a liberal arts and sciences education and the purpose of general education. Students will develop a plan that demonstrates their responsibility for their own education and how the academic curriculum connects to their personal and professional interests.
