UIS Powerpoint Templates

Use these PowerPoint templates to create presentations with graphics and colors that represent the UIS brand.

These templates have built-in color schemes, slide transitions and bullet point animations. Objects that you add to a slide (such as Drawings, AutoShapes, Diagrams, etc.) automatically follow the UIS color scheme.

Once the templates are installed on your computer, they can be applied to new or existing presentations the same way you would normally apply a design template in PowerPoint.

  • Read the instructions below on this page.

  • See below for samples of the templates currently available. Click on the name of the template you choose, and it will be downloaded to your computer.
