New Students

We're excited to welcome you to the Knox community for fall term 2019! Over the coming months, this will be your go-to place to help make your journey from home to campus a smooth one.

Every few weeks, you'll receive emails filled with helpful information, like what to bring to campus, how to choose your classes, and important dates to remember as fall approaches. If you miss any emails, don't worry. All the information you need is a click away on the links above. And if you have questions, contact the Division of Student Development at 309-341-7222 or newstudent@knox.edu.

4 Things to Do Right Now

1. Pay tuition, room, board, and fees.
   You have the option of paying your bill in full each term with one payment or enrolling in a payment plan through CashNet, which allows you to make monthly payments per term. Learn how to view your bill, make payments, and set up a payment plan.
2. Choose your course preferences.
   At Knox, a typical academic schedule is three one-credit courses per term. Most Knox courses are one credit. For first-year students, one of your fall courses will be First-Year Preceptorial. Visit your student portal to complete the Course Preferences form and First-Year Preceptorial Course Preferences form.
3. Get help choosing your course preferences.
   If you have questions about course preferences—or any part of your academic journey—we have advising sessions in July where you and your family can sit down (or meet virtually) with a faculty member.
4. Access your Knox email and information portal.
   You received an email on June 10 with your Knox email address and password. You will use your email address and password to log into my.knox.edu, which is where you will see your account information and set up a payment plan, access your email and other administrative tools (like registrar, library, and course resources), and much more.
