Course Registration Days:

Course Registration Days will be held on Wednesday, August 10 from 1-4PM and Thursday, August 11 from 9AM-12PM.
Unless unavailable, all UCA students must visit campus on one of these two days to register for classes.
Students will meet with their class adviser for approximately 15 minutes to pick classes.
Students will be provided with a copy of their transcript and UCA’s graduation requirements.
Their class adviser will counsel them on which courses to select in order to stay on track with UCA’s graduation requirements.
Students may come to campus at any point during the aforementioned time blocks.
When students arrive, they can take a seat in the gym until their class adviser is ready to meet with them.
If you know that your student will not be available during these two days, please send an email to Mrs. Bootsma, Head of Academics (cbootsma@weareuca.org) as soon as possible to schedule another time to register for classes.

Parent Orientation:

Parent Orientation is one of the most important nights of the year. It is required that all UCA parents (new and returning) attend. Please mark your calendar for Thursday, August 11 at 6PM. Parent Orientation will be held on our new campus in the new sanctuary: 700 E. 170th St., South Holland, IL. During this event, we will share important news and announcements for the upcoming year, introduce our faculty and staff, and review highlights from the Community Handbook. There will also be an opportunity for Q&A with our Senior Leadership Team. If you will not be available to attend, please email Mr. Harrison, Head of Administration (sharrison@weareuca.org) as soon as possible.
If you are a NEW family to UCA, we invite you to come one hour before Parent Orientation starts at 5PM for our New Family Dinner. The New Family Dinner will be held at our current location, in the gymnasium: 16341 South Park Ave., South Holland, IL. We will dismiss by 5:45P to allow enough time for each new family to drive to the new campus for Orientation (the distance is only 1.4 miles between both campuses). This event is a great opportunity to be welcomed into the UCA community and meet other new families. We are pleased to welcome over 40 new families to UCA this year! If you will not be available to attend the New Family Dinner, please email Mr. Harrison so that we can prepare an accurate food count.

UCA will continue to offer school lunch provided by Chef Debra of D&K Catering. Unlike last year, UCA will not participate in the National School Lunch Program this year. UCA was allowed into this program last year under an emergency contract that was due to COVID-related government funding. Since that emergency contract is no longer available, we will return to charging $5/meal for lunch.
