We are aware that University of Illinois System employees may have received an email yesterday asking employees to schedule a “retirement and pension meeting.” That email was NOT sent by the university nor SURS, and is NOT from one of our approved retirement plan providers. Please exercise caution whenever you receive email from unknown sources.

ITS is excited to announce that we are in the implementation portion of our classroom technology refresh project - converting 34 classrooms to be hyflex and installing annotating monitors, bring-your-own-device capabilities, and easy-to-use control units to manage the technology. 

You can schedule a tour of our refreshed classrooms using the button below:

The ID Center is closed today, Wednesday, May 17. We apologize for any inconvenience. If you need a new ID, please come visit us tomorrow. If you need other assistance, please email us at IDCenter@uis.edu.

Users may experience a brief interruption in Wi-Fi service during this time. Users already connected to the VPN should remain connected, but there may be a brief period when new connections will not be available.

Hello Campus,

The Office of Web Services is preparing to launch a new UIS mobile app. Help us create the ultimate mobile app experience by sharing your valuable feedback! We're conducting a quick App Features Survey to understand employee’s desired features and content for our mobile app.

Ready to elevate your campus experience to the next level? The highly anticipated UIS mobile app is set to launch in the summer of 2023, with a soft launch in June for internal audiences to test and resolve any issues. A hard launch will soon follow at the beginning of the Fall semester for the public.

To help optimize our time during Friday’s information session, faculty and staff are invited to submit a question in advance by emailing chancellor@uis.edu by 5 p.m. Thursday.

Message from the Chancellor: Information Session on Budget Appropriation, May 12

Thank you!

Kelsea M. Gurski, MA
