The UIS volleyball program has once again been recognized for its excellence in the classroom, earning the 2025 AVCA Team Academic Award. Presented by the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA), the award honors collegiate and high school volleyball teams that maintained a year-long team GPA of 3.3 or higher on a 4.0 scale. This year, a record-breaking 1,450 programs nationwide earned the distinction.

The UIS men's and women's track and field teams have both been named USTFCCCA All-Academic Teams, recognizing their outstanding achievements in the classroom during the 2024–25 academic year.
