Enrollment and retention management is a key component in the administration of all higher education institutions today. The Division of Enrollment and Retention Management at the University of Illinois Springfield is comprised of professionals who are committed to recruiting and retaining quality students by working with a variety of faculty and staff partners throughout the UIS campus, within the University of Illinois System, and beyond. Our division consists of the offices of Admissions Processing, Admissions Recruitment, Financial Assistance, and Records/Registration. We are always interested in hearing thoughts and feedback that might assist us with enrollment and retention. We encourage students, faculty, and staff to reach out to us.
