The University of Illinois Springfield is making changes to its COVID-19 testing policy.

Starting April 11, employees, faculty, staff, and long-term guests who have not yet been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 will only have to test once per week.

Previously, they had to get tested twice per week.

Testing is optional for those who are up-to-date with their COVID-19 vaccine.

Changes are also being made to the hours of operation of the SHIELD saliva-based testing site.

Open Conversation with Luis Alfaro

UIS Theatre and the Luis Alfaro Residency Project (UIC), along with UIS’ “Our Stage, Our Voices” project, invite you to a special conversation with Associate Professor of Theatre Missy Thibodeaux-Thompson, “Our Stage, Our Voices” artist-in-residence Reggie Guyton, and Guest Artist, playwright Luis Alfaro (USC). They will share insights from their own experiences, and discuss the intersection of the arts, activism, community outreach, and creative collaboration. 

DUNS Number will change to Unique Entity ID (UEI). Contracts, grant applications, and other external documents will begin requesting the UIS ‘UEI’ instead of the DUNS number, beginning April 4, 2022. UIS UEIs are available on the ORSP webpage: https://www.uis.edu/research/sponsored-programs/pre-award/rates-fa/. Just like the DUNS number, there is a separate UEI for State of Illinois grants and contracts.
