The next Civil Service Advisory Council meeting will be held on Wednesday, January 8 , at 10 a.m. via Zoom. All Civil Service employees are welcome to attend.
Due to winter weather conditions, we are providing an update regarding campus operations.
Information for Employees
The Liberal Leave Policy will be in effect on Monday, Jan. 6. Employees are advised to use their discretion when determining whether it is safe to commute to and from work in inclement weather.
Dear Colleagues,
The Springfield area is forecasted to receive its first significant snowfall Sunday through Monday. The university does not anticipate any changes to campus operations; however, this is the time of year to reacclimate ourselves with UIS’ inclement weather procedures.
As a matter of policy, UIS does not close due to inclement weather except under the most extraordinary conditions. However, periods of inclement weather often result in conditions that make travel difficult and at times hazardous.
Information for Employees:
In looking forward to a new semester classroom locations can now be viewed in the dynamic course schedule. A few courses may still show TBA but this should be resolved with the next 24 hour update.
Please contact Classroom Scheduling classroomscheduling@uis.edu with any of your classroom location needs.
