Explore Housing Options Admitted PRIB participants can apply for on-campus accommodation at the [Renee Granville-Grossman Residential Commons](https://college.uchicago.edu/housing-residence-life/halls/Renee-Granville-Grossman) (6031 S Ellis Ave Chicago, IL 60637) for the duration of the program. Please note the housing fee is not included in the program fee. Vacancy is limited and on first-apply first served basis. Renee Granville-Grossman Residential Commons opened in the Autumn 2009 and features modern design while maintaining the traditional focus of the Houses.

Plan your trip to Chicago International participants may require a visa to enter the U.S. This program is not eligible to sponsor F-1 or J-1 student visas. Harris will issue a support letter for you to apply for the B1 visa to enter the U.S. as needed. Please email [harriscredential@uchicago.edu](mailto:harriscredential@uchicago.edu) for further assistance. To learn more visit: [https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas.html](https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas.html) or contact your nearest U.S. consulate or embassy. International participants already in the U.S. on a visa may want to consult with the sponsor of their visa to determine if their visa status permits participation. ### 3. Join the Platforms (Canvas, WhatsApp, Zoom) Your email address will be invited to these platforms two weeks before the program start date. It is in Canvas that you will access academic materials, and the full schedule of synchronous office hours and lectures.  ### 4. Orientation Information Orientation occurs on the first day of the program. During the orientation, you will have the opportunity to connect with your teaching team, administrative staff, and fellow participants, and gain a better sense of what you will experience in the forthcoming weeks and how you can leverage your UChicago and PRIB resources.  Questions? ## Connect with the team [ Email Us ](mailto:harriscredential@uchicago.edu)
