Greetings,
Between October 20-24, Facilities will begin testing the heating systems in the legacy campus buildings to prepare for the colder months ahead. These tests will primarily take place in the early mornings to minimize any disruption to your day.
As with starting a home furnace after a long break, you may notice a temporary odor when the systems are activated. This is a normal part of the process and should dissipate quickly.
We appreciate your patience and understanding. please don't hesitate to contact us with questions or concerns.
Dear Campus Community,
As many of you are already aware, Amazon AWS is experiencing a significant outage today. Many of the companies that UIS works with are impacted by the outage, which means that many services are currently unavailable (Canvas, Kaltura, Email+, some of the library databases, etc.).
Thank you for your patience while we wait for Amazon AWS to be fully restored.
Dear Campus Community,
The annual fire drills for this year will be conducted on Thursday November 6th and Friday November 7 for the UIS campus. Please pay special attention to your building assembly points as some have been revised for the ease of assembly by location.
The roofing contractor will have a crane on site Tuesday morning, October 21, to place materials on the roof. The crane will be positioned on the west side of Founders, just off Eliza Farnham Drive. The bus stop on that corner will remain open and accessible. The red rectangle on the included image indicates the approximate location for the crane.
Please use caution if you need to travel near the residence hall. Construction zones and equipment placement areas will be marked to assist with navigation and ensure safety.

As a reminder, Windows 10 will reach end of life on October 14 2025, and all university-owned Windows computers will need to be running Windows 11 before then. Computers running Windows 10 after October 14th will not be allowed on the network.
If you are running Windows 10 on your university-owned computer, please reach out to ITS Client Services to schedule an upgrade. (If you have selected a new computer in our fall round of the Desktop Refresh Program, you do not need to schedule an upgrade for your current computer.)
Greetings Campus Community,
