Admitted Participants

To secure your spot in the program, start by officially accepting your offer of admission. Click on the link provided in the electronic admission letter from harriscredential@uchicago.edu to access the Admission Reply Form. Complete the one-question form by the deadline specified in your admission letter. Failure to reply and submit the deposit by the deadline will be considered voluntarily giving up your seat.

When accepting the electronic admission letter, you will submit a $1000 USD enrollment deposit to confirm your attendance. The deadline to submit the deposit is listed in your admission letter and on the DPSS Admissions & Fee webpage. The enrollment deposit will be applied to your total program cost and is reflected in the final bill. Payment is accepted by credit-card in your application portal. 

The deposit is required and is non-refundable. Students who fail to submit the deposit in time are viewed as voluntarily giving up their seat to attend the program.

The deadline to pay the remainder of the program fee is June xx. The remaining balance owed will appear in your application portal and is paid by credit card. This is the same process as the enrollment deposit.

You will receive a registration link for the 2025 Chicago Weekend. The dates for this weekend are from August 8-9. Please see the DPSS Community Resources section for details.  

You will be invited to these platforms one week before the program start date. It is in Canvas that you will access academic materials and the full schedule of synchronous office hours, lectures, and community activities (workshops, networking, etc.). 

Orientation occurs one week before the program begins. Community Activities occur two or three times a week during the program. The full dates, times, and details are on Canvas.  DPSS Orientation: June 3, 6:00 PM CDT (Potential), one week before the start date.
