Thanks to campus and system-level financial support, ITS is in the process of implementing a campus-wide infrastructure refresh as part of our efforts to improve Wi-Fi performance. This is a multi-phase project with an expected projected completion date of August 2025.
During the week of March 24, we will be upgrading the Student Union and Trillium.
During the transition for each building, laptops, tablets, and phones should automatically switch to the new Wi-Fi after a possible brief interruption in service.
What: UIS Directory maintenance
Impact: The UIS Directory will be read-only during maintenance. Users will be able to search but will not be able to update their biography, change their picture, etc.
When: Monday, March 24 starting at 9 a.m. Maintenance is expected to be completed by 1 p.m.
Questions/Concerns: Please reach out to ITS Client Services at techsupport@uis.edu or 217/206-6000
