All student pay increases are approved by Student Employment. If you'd like to request one, you can reach the team at studentemployment@uis.edu.

Yes, they can. Just keep in mind that once a student reaches their Federal Work-Study award limit, the department becomes responsible for the student's wages from that point on. If you'd like help monitoring where a student stands relative to their award, Student Employment can assist at studentemployment@uis.edu.

A few things can cause this. The most common are that the position isn't active, the time reporting method is incorrect, the time approver is missing or incorrect, or the new hire paperwork isn't complete. Reviewing those usually resolves it, and if it doesn't, Student Employment can help you dig in at studentemployment@uis.edu.

The ceremony will last approximately 90 minutes to two hours.

Upon completion of the online Intent to Participate form, graduates will receive a link to purchase their regalia and other items (such as invitations) through Herff Jones.

The student commencement speaker is an important tradition at UIS. All graduating students are invited to audition for this honor and responsibility.  Speeches for the audition should be no longer than five minutes and should be presented in their entirety. Speeches will be evaluated by a faculty committee for clarity of expression, delivery, timing, appropriateness, and relevance of the topic as representative of the graduating class. 

Program marshals have the responsibility of representing their fellow graduates.  Because of this responsibility, it is essential that these individuals can be identified and therefore, they wear gold stoles during commencement.

Some departments, associations and groups recognize their students with colored cords or non-gold stoles. Those seeking approval to distribute cords or non-gold stoles to their students must do so by submitting a formal request to the Registrar in the Office of Records and Registration. The request is considered, the Registrar communicates a decision to the appropriate parties, and updates the master list of approved cords, stoles, and miscellaneous items worn at commencement.

Program marshals receive gold stoles from the Office of Records and Registration on commencement day.  Non-gold cords and stoles are provided by the department, association, or group that requested the recognition.

It depends on the type of position, so here's a quick rundown. Graduate Hourly employees need to be reviewed in the fall and again in the summer. Federal Work-Study (FWS) positions are reviewed every fall, and you can begin submitting those as early as July 15. And any position that was entered with an end date will need to be rehired if the student is continuing to work for you. If you're ever unsure whether a particular student needs to be rehired, reach out to Student Employment at studentemployment@uis.edu and they'll confirm.

Numerous events are being planned to help graduates celebrate. Special events will be scheduled for certain groups. Please be sure to check the Commencement homepage for more information.

First, fill out an online application. We’ll need writing samples, reference letters and college transcripts. Each applicant must complete a timed news writing test. If you demonstrate a strong desire to be a serious journalist and an ability to succeed in graduate school, you have a strong chance of being accepted to the program.
