Dear UIS Community —

Welcome to the start of the fall semester. Today marks the 55th first day of classes since this university welcomed its first students in 1970. It is a moment to celebrate our history and look ahead to the future we are continuing to build together. 

Whether you’re a first-year or transfer student, arriving at UIS as a self-proclaimed introvert can be both exciting and a little nerve-wracking. As one of our newest Prairie Stars, you’ll be navigating new surroundings and routines while protecting your social battery. But getting involved on campus doesn’t have to mean plunging into big crowds or chatting with everyone you meet. You can find ways to connect that match your personality, interests and pace.

Welcome to both new and returning members of the UIS community. ITS stands ready to assist you with all your technology issues and questions.

ITS Client Services is your first point of contact for all technology issues regardless of device, platform, or operating system.
