The increase in University of Illinois System operating funds announced by Gov. JB Pritzker for the 2026 fiscal year demonstrates continued support for and belief in the power of public higher education, U of I System President Tim Killeen said Monday.
The new budget was approved by the General Assembly on Sunday and Pritzker has said he will sign it.
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 June 2, we will be upgrading the Student Life Building (SLB) and the Visual Performing Arts Building (VPA).
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.

If you received an email from GrantForward, it is not spam or a phishing attempt. This is a grant database that UIS is subscribed to. Previously, it only had accounts for faculty and those who opted in. Today, accounts went live for Civil Service and Academic Professional employees.
This is how the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs will begin sending out monthly newsletters at the start of the Fall semester to increase efficiency and have better usage metrics than the email version we've been using.
