Application timing

October 1, 2026 submission and supplement; Verified November 9 E-submit PTCAS and complete the UIC supplemental application by October 1, 2026. The current-cycle narrative separately requires Verified status by November 9; it does not repeat the year for that second date. Track both milestones rather than substituting the verification date for submission.

A past date remains past; no date is advanced to a future year. Confirm whether the program requires submission, completion, or verification by its deadline.

Observation experience

Complete 40 supervised PT hours by the application deadline and document them in PTCAS. UIC says a separate signed form is not required. The institutional page accepts in-person experience combined with telehealth and encourages broader experience.

Hours alone do not establish eligibility. Check accepted settings, supervision, verification and completion timing.

Tuition and published program costs

The current UIC registrar links the Fall 2026/Spring 2027 professional schedule in Box. Public page metadata identifies the document, but its actual table could not be retrieved; current DPT tuition remains unverified.

Rate period: Fall 2026 / Spring 2027 document located; rates not verified

• The official registrar page links Fall 2026 / Spring 2027 professional tuition rates, but the linked Box document could not be read.
• A search-indexed 2025–26 DPT financial fact sheet returned HTTP 404 when opened; its indexed figures are not treated as verified.
• No annual or full-program tuition total was inferred from generic university rates.
