Dear UIS Students and Colleagues,

The Springfield area is forecasted to receive its first snowfall of the season tonight through Tuesday. We do not anticipate any changes to campus operations, however we wanted to take this opportunity to remind you about UIS’ inclement weather policy.  

In accordance with the UIS Policy on Weapons Screening at the UIS Performing Arts Center, we are once again implementing a weapons screening at the UIS Performing Arts Center in the Public Affairs Center (PAC) building.
