UIS: Creating a Brilliant Future
Forward
This revised handbook is intended as a general guide for the faculty and academic staff of the University of Illinois at Springfield. Some policies, procedures and information affect all three campuses of the U of I, while others are specific to UIS. I believe that you will find this handbook useful in understanding the ways in which our campus is governed by system-wide policies and the ways in which UIS has adopted specific practices to meet our unique circumstances.The UIS faculty is a distinguished group of teacher-scholars. The UIS academic staff is dedicated, loyal and exceptionally capable. Our vision is to work together to make UIS the best small public liberal arts university in the region, if not the nation.
