General Policies

Affirmative Action
The commitment of the University of Illinois to the most fundamental principles of academic freedom, equality of opportunity, and human dignity requires that decisions involving students and employees be based on individual merit and be free from invidious discrimination in all its forms. 

The University of Illinois will not engage in discrimination or harassment against any person because of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, ancestry, age, marital status, disability, sexual orientation, unfavorable discharge from the military, or status as a protected veteran and will comply with all federal and state nondiscrimination, equal opportunity, and affirmative action laws, orders, and regulations. This nondiscrimination policy applies to admissions, employment, access to and treatment in the University programs and activities.  

University complaint and grievance procedures provide employees and students with the means for the resolution of complaints that allege a violation of this Statement.

Governance and Accreditation
The three University of Illinois campuses – at Springfield, Urbana-Champaign, and Chicago – are governed by the U of I Board of Trustees and are among 12 public university campuses in the state, all coordinated by the Illinois Board of Higher Education. Internally, UIS is governed by the chancellor with advice from administrators and the Campus Senate.

UIS is fully accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. You can contact the Commission in writing at 30 North LaSalle Street, Suite 2400, Chicago, IL 60602-2504; by phone at (312) 263-0456 or (800) 621-7440; by fax (312) 263-7462; by e-mail at info@hlcommission.org; or go to the website at www.ncahigherlearningcommission.org.
