Affiliated Faculty Policy

Non-salaried or “affiliate” appointments are made by the department to recognize contributions by persons who are otherwise employed outside UIS, but contribute in some way to the teaching, research and service missions. The specific conditions of all these appointments are determined by each department and college. Departments may name an individual as an affiliate faculty member if the contributions of the individual will be substantive and sustained in achieving the mission of the department, college and the University. Examples include:

University-Sanctioned Events Policy

The purpose of this policy is to provide guidelines for University of Illinois Springfield students and faculty to address absence due to participation in university-sanctioned events.

Regular class attendance is expected of all UIS students. It is the first responsibility of students to respect the integrity of the educational process and to participate as fully as possible in all course-related activities. The University also values and supports the required participation of both on-ground and on-line students in university sanctioned events.

New Faculty Welcome Week

Welcoming new UIS faculty

We look forward to welcoming new faculty to UIS during New Faculty Welcome Week. Activities for all full-time faculty who have begun their careers at UIS since last fall’s event include New Faculty Orientation and the Teaching & Learning Academy, as well as Thursday afternoon’s Chancellor’s Convocation. These activities will equip new faculty with essential information and tools, and they are just the beginning of faculty development opportunities at UIS.
