The University of Illinois Springfield is excited to team up with the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign for a special game day experience! UIS students, staff, families and friends can take advantage of a special ticket price to cheer on the Fighting Illini as they take on Northwestern for Senior Day, Saturday, Nov. 29. Tickets are just $10 and include seats in the general admission student section at Gies Memorial Stadium.
To ensure the resilience and continuity of our essential university operations, Information Technology Services is conducting a Planned Disaster Recovery (DR) Failover Exercise on Tuesday, January 6, 2026.
This exercise is a critical step in validating our ability to operate following a catastrophic IT event that would take out all of our IT services for a significant period of time, including campus access to the Internet.
Campus community,
UIS students, faculty and staff are invited to participate in the 2025 University of Illinois Springfield University Experience Survey. This study is vital for understanding our university and guiding initiatives to create an even better environment for our entire community.
Whether in person or online, discussions are one of the most important and potentially memorable aspects of any course. Seeing students working together to build foundational knowledge and extend their learning–all while creating connections with each other–is rewarding and uplifting.
Dear colleagues —
Join us for two open forums featuring candidates for the Vice Chancellor for Enrollment and Retention Management position:
- Monday, November 3 at 3:00 PM
- Thursday, November 6 at 3:00 PM
Both sessions will take place in Brookens Auditorium.
In this month’s COLRS Catch Up, meet our new eLearning Specialist, explore October’s focus on journaling, and catch up on key Canvas updates and upcoming events.
Journaling is a powerful way to help students connect course material to their personal experiences. Learn how journals can foster reflection, critical thinking, and meaningful instructor–student relationships.
As part of our NorthStar priorities, the Campus Services unit will be sunsetted after extensive review with help from the University of Illinois System. Clients who use Campus Services frequently are being contacted to plan immediate projects. Job requests will be accepted until Nov. 21, and an operational plan is being drafted to meet the needs of the university in 2026 and beyond.
Mail and Central Receiving services are transitioning to Facilities and Services. Facilities is reviewing workflows and will share if there will be changes to processes regarding mail services.
