Our campus has a broad selection of locations to support your academic journey and community activities. From peaceful study nooks to vibrant event venues, our spaces are designed to meet your needs—each thoughtfully managed by different departments. Before booking, please review the specific guidelines for your chosen space to ensure a positive experience for everyone.
Artworks in the Art & Artifacts Collection at the University of Illinois Springfield, including two-dimensional, three-dimensional, decorative arts, and miscellaneous objects, are being offered to faculty and staff through an intra-campus loan program for display in your office (for a period of two years, after which time there may be the option to renew)!
Protect yourself and others by getting your flu shot this year!

The Cox Children’s Center and the Volunteer and Civic Engagement Center encourage your participation in our annual Trunk or Treat for Canned Goods campus event. Sign up (either as an individual or as a department) to decorate a vehicle. Use your creativity! This can be a car, truck, golf cart, wagon….you name it!
Good morning:
UIS has re-established a SHIELD saliva-based COVID-19 testing site on campus available to active-status students, faculty and staff this semester. The site opens TODAY in a new location: Classroom 28 in the WUIS Building. Please note: The UIS SHIELD site is no longer providing testing to members of the public.
Hours of operations are:
As the Covid-19 vaccines were rolled out, UIS created a policy stating:
“All UIS faculty, staff, volunteers and long-term guests who work on the UIS campus or in off-campus UIS facilities must be fully vaccinated. New hires must be fully vaccinated and show proof thereof, or proof that they have begun the vaccination process, prior to their first scheduled day of work and upload their vaccine record to the Medicat patient portal once their employment begins.”
We are pleased to announce that pronouns can now be included on nameplates for faculty and staff. Signage standards have been amended to include pronouns below the name - see the photo at the right for a sample nameplate appearance.
All other standards remain in place, including the preclusion of professional designations, certifications, name prefixes, etc. in order to maintain adequate font size for readability and a consistent image campus-wide.

Dear UIS Students, Faculty and Staff —
I am writing to update you that UIS will not be offering on-site Shield COVID-19 testing after June 29. This includes testing for both the public and the university community.
Beginning July 1st, UIS CareerConnect will be powered by Handshake. This is a vendor change that will impact both students and employees who either hire students or support students’ career development via jobs, internships, and career exploration assistance. Invitations for students and employees who hire students to join the new system will be coming at the end of June/early July.
Congratulations to the newest CSAC members:
