University-Sanctioned Events Policy

The purpose of this policy is to provide guidelines for University of Illinois Springfield students and faculty to address absence due to participation in university-sanctioned events.

Regular class attendance is expected of all UIS students. It is the first responsibility of students to respect the integrity of the educational process and to participate as fully as possible in all course-related activities. The University also values and supports the required participation of both on-ground and on-line students in university sanctioned events.

These activities will equip new faculty with essential information and tools, and they are just the beginning of faculty development opportunities at UIS.
