On behalf of The UIC School of Law Fair Housing Legal Support Center, I would like to invite you to apply to The UIC School of Law Fair Housing/Fair Lending Course.  The course is open to all undergraduate and graduate college and university students in the Chicago Metro Area. We are seeking a diverse group of responsible, hardworking students with an interest in law, public service, and civil rights generally, and fair housing specifically. Housing segregation is a major problem in the Chicago Metropolitan area and this course analyses its causes and effects and remedies. The course also exposes the students to law school teaching. 

The course is taught by Professor Michael Seng. Enrollment in the course is limited.  Each student may earn a total of 3 credit hours of transferable academic credit, depending upon your school’s policies. There is no cost to you. Students will also receive a certificate from The UIC School of Law upon successful completion of the program.  The UIC School of Law will work with you and your administrators to facilitate the transfer and acceptance of academic credit for the program. Attached you will find the application, the frequently asked questions for Faculty and Administrators, frequently asked questions for Students, the Informational Brochure and Reference Letter. 

The Fair Housing/Fair Lending Course is tentatively scheduled to take place in the Spring Semester of 2023. The course will be taught on Monday evenings from 6-9 p.m.  The course for the past 11 years has been fully funded by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development, however, the Spring 2023 course is still pending funding and grant approval. 

Feel free to contact me via e-mail if you have any questions.

Applications must be submitted by NOVEMBER 4, 2022.

Thanks much,
