Download the Illinois App
The Illinois app is a valuable tool for making the most of your time at the university. Ride the bus off-campus with the digital pass, consult maps to locate the shortest route to class or an event, join a group, access your University Housing meal plan, or use the Illini Assistant to get info quickly. This official university app is built and developed on the Urbana-Champaign campus by the Smart, Healthy Communities Initiative—a coalition of specialists in science, computing, design, wellness, and the humanities—as part of the Rokwire open source platform project.
