As part of our commitment to improving campus connectivity, Information Technology Services (ITS) is transitioning personal devices to the UISPreauth wireless network. This new network replaces UISBYOD and offers enhanced compatibility for a wider range of personal devices, including gaming consoles, smart TVs, and other devices that cannot connect to UISWifi. The UISBYOD network will be turned off on July 22.
Due to staffing issues from July 21-23, in-person access to ITS Client Services will be by appointment only. To ensure we can provide you with dedicated assistance, please schedule your visit by emailing techsupport@uis.edu or calling 217-206-6000.
We appreciate your flexibility and understanding as we manage temporary staffing challenges.
UIS ITS Client Services
Thanks to campus and system-level financial support, ITS is in the process of implementing a campus-wide infrastructure refresh as part of our efforts to improve Wi-Fi performance. This is a multi-phase project with an expected projected completion date of August 2025.
During the week of July 14, we will be upgrading the Human Resources Building.
During the transition for each building, laptops, tablets, and phones should automatically switch to the new Wi-Fi after a possible brief interruption in service.
Greetings UIS Community,
The PAC plumbing project is progressing well and is on schedule with approximately 30-40% of the initial project phase completed.
As part of this current phase, temporary adjustments will be made to elevator and entrance availability:
AI Detection
Copyleaks AI Detector Update
On July 8, Copyleaks upgraded its AI detector from v8.1 to v9. Our Copyleaks representative has indicated that "you may notice some differentiation in results on scans that are completed before versus after this change." As you are navigating these changes, if you have any questions or concerns about the results, COLRS staff is happy to work with you.
Employees not currently enrolled in payroll deduction can purchase a 2025-26 parking hang tag online by enrolling in payroll deduction or using a debit or credit card. Please note that employees not enrolled in payroll deduction must purchase a new parking hang tag online for the 2025-26 academic year, as Parking Operations does not accept payment over the phone or on-site.
We have Bocce ball courts on campus!
We’d like to offer a summer lunch league for UIS employees. Yes, it’s a bit warm outside, but it’s not a game that takes a lot of energy. It's a game that's a lot of fun.
A team only consists of two people, but we’re encouraging departments to sign up. That way, you can have people cheer you on, or you can take turns, or if someone is on vacation, someone else plays. This is how it will work:
UIS Psychology Faculty Recieve Awards
Two UIS Psychology faculty members were honored with Faculty Awards for the 2024-2025 academic year. Congratulations, Dr. Bolivar and Dr. Reminger!
UIS Central Receiving and UIS Mail Services, as part of Campus Services, jointly serve as the delivery hubs for packages arriving on campus through major carriers, such as FedEx, DHL, UPS and the U.S. Postal Service. Please use the Central Receiving address as your delivery destination, instead of your unit's campus address, for all packages, including Amazon orders. Doing so will result in reduced traffic, streamlined delivery of goods, and improved management of incoming shipments.
The elevator in PAC Tower 1 has been taken out of service for the near future. Substantial repairs are necessary, which may take some time to complete.
We will share status updates as they become available.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
