Where UChicago College Students and Families Find Key Resources and Contacts

Updated

The College at the University of Chicago (college.uchicago.edu) is the undergraduate college of UChicago. Students and families use it to reach three main things: the Student Resource Directory for support staff, Family Resources for staying informed, and practical contact and billing information. The College's physical address is Harper Memorial Library, 1116 E. 59th St., Chicago, IL 60637, with a main phone line at 773.702.1234.

Student Resource Directory: Connecting With Support Staff

The Student Resource Directory is the starting point for finding the team of professionals who support students across campus. Use it when you need to identify who handles a specific area — academic advising, student life, or other support functions — rather than searching the wider university directory.

  • What it does: Lists and connects you with dedicated staff working with College students.
  • When to use it: You have a question or concern and don't yet know which office or person owns it.
  • What to expect: You'll come away with a specific contact rather than a general department inbox.

Family Resources: Staying Informed

Family Resources is built for parents and family members who want to stay engaged and informed throughout a student's undergraduate journey. It collects quick links, latest news, and vital information in one place.

If you're a family member rather than a student, this is the section to bookmark — it's designed around the questions families tend to have across four years, not just at admission.

Billing and Financial Matters

For financial matters, the site points to the Bursar's billing dates page (bursar.uchicago.edu/services/billing-information), which lists billing dates. Check there for payment timing rather than relying on the College homepage, which does not itself publish tuition figures or payment details.

Other Entry Points on the Site

The College site also links to:

  • About the College — background on the College itself.
  • Programs — majors and minors spanning Arts & Humanities, Biological Sciences, the New Collegiate Division, Physical Sciences, Social Sciences, Data Science, Environment, Geography and Urbanization, Fundamentals, Molecular Engineering, and Neuroscience, plus a full list of programs of study.
  • The Core: Transformative Curriculum — the Core Curriculum that serves as the foundation for major coursework.
  • Apply — the admissions starting point.
