UIS is committed to providing high quality instruction to our students. Tenure system and non-tenure system faculty with instructional responsibilities must be appropriately credentialed and possess minimum required degrees based on the rank of appointment.
The Faculty Files Custodian maintains, safeguards and grants full-time faculty access to their digital personnel files. Digital files will also be made available to personnel committees and other reviewers for reappointment, tenure, and promotion reviews per the processes outlined in the Faculty Personnel Policy and by the dates listed in the Academic Personnel Calendar.
UIS routinely seeks competent, qualified professionals to teach on a per-course (adjunct) basis. Departments/Schools may send forward requests to hire, or requests to add to the adjunct pool for future use, those individuals who not only possess outstanding credentials and experience in their fields, but also have the desire to share their expertise with our students.
The University of Illinois Springfield has occasional need for individuals to teach on a per-course, or “adjunct” basis. Qualified individuals can apply to one or more programs listed on the Adjunct Job Board of our Cornerstone system. Programs will periodically review applications and reach out to applicants whose qualifications and experience align with their needs.
The University of Illinois Springfield is a member of the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements. Learn about The University of Illinois System SARA compliance, licensing, and complaint information.
Federal regulations mandate institutions of higher education to provide contact information for filing complaints. Below, current and prospective students will find institutional and external contact information for the complaint process.

Greetings Colleagues,
I write to you to share two pieces of information that may help you determine your future professional plans as an academic unit leader. The first topic I wish to present are the roles and responsibilities you will be expected to perform during Academic Year 2019-2020 as department chair. The second topic is the compensation that you will receive for the performance of those roles and responsibilities for Academic Year 2019-2020.
Roles and Responsibilities of Department Chairs/Heads
This toolkit of resources is designed to be a one-stop shop for newer and experienced academic unit administrators, including chairs, heads, and directors. If you do not find what you are looking for, or if you have a suggestion for additional toolkit resources, please contact Monica Kroft.
As topics are shared with the Chairs & Heads Forum throughout the year, video recordings and other resources will be added to the toolkit.
The Chairs and Heads Forum was established in 2017 to provide a venue for academic Department Chairs, Department Heads, and School Directors (Unit Executive Officers, or UEOs) to communicate and collaborate in developing strategies to address common challenges.
