Flames Finish Strong

Flames Finish Strong is a university-wide initiative. UIC knows the pressure students are under when it comes to finals, and the Flames Finish Strong events aim to curb the anxiety by offering programs to ease the stress.

Over the years, UIC has developed finals week traditions to bring the campus together and ease exam time stress. We also celebrate our graduating students, who will be Forever Flames. UIC Library will have extended hours at various locations and additional shuttles/night ride/walking escort services.
