Depends.  If you are a full time student the answer is no.  If you are
not full time then it is possible to make a case to UIC that the courses
you are taking in no way affect your ability to look for work or to accept
work offered to you - in which case you can get benefits.  Also time spent
working will leave you with benefits when you leave school although
regulations have changed in the past few years in order to make it more
difficult for people like students to collect, e.g. weeks where you work
<20hrs don't count towards qualifying for benefits.
