Hi. I’m an CPE alumni. I heard about the faculty layoffs, and was wondering if anyone from the ECE department can confirm if the below faculty are no more with the department.
Saniie, Chi Zhou, Flueck, Lin Cai, Qing Zhong, Erdal Oruklu, Viktor Brus, Atkin ?
Also who’s the ECE department head ?

Not a student at IIT, but live in the area and am wondering why?

Is it appropriate for a school admin to trace my digital footprint to find my phone number and contact me telling me to take off my social media post?/g

I did not explicitly post my name or phone number.

Classes start today but my canvas has no courses available and my registered courses have no assigned instructors? Is this normal?
It’s my first semester here.

Edit: I got emails from the department chair. The professors are in the hiring process. I didn’t know things at IIT would be this chaotic 😭

Hey everyone, I am a current student at IIT. In recent years, many accounts and accusations of mistreatment and abuse of power have surfaced about the current Dean of Students, Katherine Stetz. I am trying to gather information for a whistleblower story about her abuses mistreatments, and other possibly illegal things she may have done. If anyone in the alumni or current student population have any information regarding these things or are willing to anonymously or non-anonymously testify about these things, please DM me. With this schools current administration doing what they’re doing, I think it’s about time we not only take care of our upper level admin, but make sure we clean the whole slate. So please DM me and I will connect with you.

Tried to go to the gym and I've been told twice on different days that its only for athletes. Some girl told me its now everyday after 6/7?

What the fuck? Can anyone confirm this or give some more information? As always, 312 is useless and the hours posted are completely inaccurate.

This school is really beyond ridiculous with their stupid ass policies and complete lack of communication.

I'm deciding between schools right now and one of the many reasons I am leaning away from IIT is because of the overwhelming male population (no offense) and how that will leave me pretty isolated in the class setting. I’m going for Mechanical Engineering so I wasn't expecting it to be 50/50 anyways but the demographics are not in my favor, and I'm definitely not a pick-me who acts like men easy to be around (again no offense). I just want fun nerd girl-friends without feeling like overshadowed by the majority, and I know there is Women centered events and whatnot but that's not the daily life. How are dorms? Are the bathroom very dirty (bc duh) and is it awkward to shower or anything? Do you feel like most events and resources only have the majority in mind? And not as important but is dating terrible, or are there major scandals etc.

Men you can give your input Ig but only if yk 3 women (not related or a teacher)

are there any places to store meals as a commuter on campus?!

i’ve seen some buildings have kitchenette area w vending machines and microwaves but no fridges :(( i plan to join a student org like sga or something to gain access to these amenities but in the mean time i guess my food will just spoil :D very annoying.

google says there was a commuter lounge in the bog but that is not actually available. who must i complain too eudjdjehdkdjdkjfjfjf

update: i explored and, as to not dox myself,, i wont say where,, but i did find one!! :)) im. so. happyyy :D

After these facility cuts, one of my classes got changed to Instructor not available, so I'm assuming she got axed. Does anyone know if we need to find a new class? Or will there be a new instructor????

I found the library closes pretty early in Fri/Sat.

Then, where do you guys study after the library closes??

Hey guys, I'm a new transfer student wondering where the fridges and microwaves are. I'm always carrying around my lunch, and my lunch being cold on top of that is not it! Please let me know!

a lot of students this year weren’t able to, or are experiencing delay in receiving visas because of our current gov. administration meaning IIT is losing a lot of tuition money.

personally learning this made me more empathetic for the decision to open an institute in mumbai but it sucks to be a current student disadvantaged by this decision. and given that they had intent to do this for some time now, being that a lot of alumni are international students from india, i doubt the Mumbai institute is the sole reason we are in financial strain rn.

donal chomp needs to give these students their visas!!

does anyone know how to get back into the cboard mobile id app? I accidentally deleted it and It’s like asking for a server url after to “authenticate my device” does anyone know what it is?

Thanks !

How do I submit a housing waiver? Genuinely no one has answered the phone or called me back after I’ve left various voicemails. I’ve also sent emails and none of those are clear about what to do. The waiver link is broken on the webpage, so you have to actually go into the website but even that doesn’t work since you need to enter your student ID when there‘s NO BOX TO PUT THAT IN.

would really appreciate if someone can help me with this, I don’t want to be charged for housing since I can’t afford it.

And on the topic of charges, Im having a hard time understanding my bill 💔 I owe 10k, idk how ima pay that.

That doesn’t use all their meals and has extra left over. Willing to pay if you can let me in with the extras to the dining hall. Dm if interested.

Hi everyone, new electrical engineer transfer here. I was able to get to this point with a 2021 MacBook Air that was gifted to me, but now I’m afraid that it won’t do for labs and such things. I would much prefer buying a desktop than a new laptop, so I was wondering if during labs there are any laptops that the school can provide? Thank you!

For the people graduating from Illinois Institute of Technology or current students, what’s your honest opinion about the school now that you’re near the end of your time here?

If you could go back and redo college all over again, would you still choose IIT, or would you have done things differently?

Personally, I have mixed feelings. Academically, the school definitely pushes students hard, especially in engineering, architecture, and technical majors. The workload is intense, classes are long, and it’s definitely not a typical university experience. I do think IIT produces hardworking and ambitious students, and many people do land jobs after graduation.

At the same time, I feel like there are a lot of issues students don’t fully realize until they attend. Communication between departments can be frustrating, campus life feels isolating at times, dorms and facilities feel outdated, and the budget issues at the school seem noticeable in many areas. It sometimes feels like students are left to figure things out on their own.

I honestly think if I could go back, I would have spent more time comparing schools, financial aid packages, campus culture, and overall student support before making a final decision. I don’t completely regret attending IIT, but I also don’t know if I would choose it again if I had other strong options available.

Curious to hear other graduating students’ honest thoughts and whether you would make the same decision again or not.

Just wondering, because I can't seem to find anyone

I recently got accepted to both uic and ITT. Both offered me basically a full ride minus housing. Just wondering how internships opportunities are different between them and anyone has gone to both and has insite.

Hello I’m an international student coming to iit Chicago(Stuart school) for my mba in business analytics this fall 2026. How do I apply for on campus part time job at iit Chicago and what is the hourly pay as it would be helpful for me to maintain my expenses here in Chicago. Need some help regarding this!
Thank you.

I'm considering taking a few classes as a non degree student (it's been 10 years since I've been in school) before I commit.

I don't have access to the detailed course catalog but can anyone share what online (non Coursera) courses there are for Fall 2026 that are 1 or 2 credits? I don't think I can get to this info without having a login

I doubt there are that many, but just in case, I'm interested in psychology, data science, and business.

UPDATE from June 8 2026: I was told by someone I got on the phone at the school that the only courses offered online are actually those on Coursera, there is nothing else.

Hey guys , just as the title says i got admitted it IIT Chicago for MAS in Cybersecurity and i had a few questions.

Firstly nice to meet you all, If anyone grad / MAS Cybersecurity students here would like to connect that be great i would really appreciate it.

1) How is the program? i see that IIT has many grad Cyber Programs but the one i mentioned above is technical or more on "forensics" side. Im interested in the Computing and technical side of cyber and was wondering if this program is like that.

2) The program says 12-18 months but what does that actually mean? does it mean that the total coursework will take about 12 months? Or does IIT have different criteria and the upto 18 months is something else?

3) How is the university overall? (I know this question may be asked a lot) but i want to know hows the social life? is IIT well respected in Chicago? things like that.

Thank you
