The University of Illinois Springfield Police Department is advising the campus community of hazardous winter weather conditions expected over the next 72 hours, including extreme cold temperatures, dangerous wind chills, and the potential for icy travel conditions.
While UIS remains operational at this time, community members are strongly encouraged to take appropriate precautions to protect their safety and well-being.
UIS is committed to protecting minors that visit campus so they can enjoy the wonderful events and programs our community offers. For departments that want to offer programs to minors (persons under the age of eighteen (18)), our Protection of Minors page has detailed information on planning and hosting an event for young visitors.
As part of the University of Illinois Springfield’s ongoing commitment to digital accessibility and compliance, the UIS Web Team has begun distributing weekly accessibility reports to campus units through Siteimprove.
These reports are a key tool in helping units identify, prioritize, and address accessibility issues on their websites as we work toward meeting the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) accessibility compliance deadline of April 2026.
