The University of Illinois Springfield has enrolled 312 first-year students for fall 2025, a 19.1% increase from last fall’s 262 freshmen. New students cite UIS’ academic programs, personalized attention and career outcomes as key reasons for enrolling.

The Civil Service Advisory Council (CSAC) is pleased to announce that FY2026 funding has been made available to assist Civil Service Employees (CS) at UIS with professional development. Any CS employee employed with a 50% (minimum) appointment may apply for up to $1,200 to use toward any aspect of past or future professional development occurring during the 2026 fiscal year (July 1, 2025 – June 30, 2026).

Renovations will begin on September 8 on the 3rd floor of HSB to create a Centralized Lab Equipment Facility. Rooms 329 and 330 will be transformed into a shared space for housing lab instruments accessible to all labs within HSB. Project completion is expected in February 2026.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to improve campus spaces.
