The UIS campus does not close due to inclement weather except under the most extraordinary conditions.
A decision to cancel classes due to inclement weather is made separately from the consideration to close the campus. So, it is possible that classes would be canceled but the campus would remain open for other business.
When classes are canceled, the normal expectation is that all offices and other services of the university will have regular operating hours.
It is also generally assumed that if classes on campus are canceled, online classes would not be interrupted.
Good morning, UIS!
It’s been reinvigorating to see our new Prairie Stars on campus this month as they’ve participated in our revamped one-day orientation programming. We’re hearing great things about their experiences, and I know all of us cannot wait to have the Class of 2025 join us this fall.
