Dear students, faculty and staff:
The November 2025 newsletter includes updates about construction projects and Classroom Scheduling for final exams and the upcoming Spring Semester.
Greetings,
Between October 20-24, Facilities will begin testing the heating systems in the legacy campus buildings to prepare for the colder months ahead. These tests will primarily take place in the early mornings to minimize any disruption to your day.
As with starting a home furnace after a long break, you may notice a temporary odor when the systems are activated. This is a normal part of the process and should dissipate quickly.
We appreciate your patience and understanding. please don't hesitate to contact us with questions or concerns.
Dear Campus Community,
The annual fire drills for this year will be conducted on Thursday November 6th and Friday November 7 for the UIS campus. Please pay special attention to your building assembly points as some have been revised for the ease of assembly by location.
