As the largest undergraduate college at UIC, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (LAS) is a vibrant and diverse community of actively engaged scholars and students across the natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities, as well as interdisciplinary and pre-professional areas of study. Together, we conduct research and teach across a wide array of disciplines, often in cross-disciplinary and pioneering ways, joining the many tools and perspectives of our collective research and educational  efforts to shed new light on crucial cultural, social, and scientific issues of our times.

Executive officers, faculty and staff are invited to use the information in this handbook to help lead LAS forward and effectively participate in and conduct the work of the College. Our hope is that faculty and staff will find this to be a convenient reference with many links to resources, policies, and procedures. That said, please note that this handbook is not a comprehensive list of resources, and we encourage all faculty and staff to also consult other relevant campus units for additional guidance. Since policies and procedures evolve and change over time, we also encourage you to send any questions or suggestions for revisions and updates to Beth Allen.
