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,

The women's restroom on the 4th floor in Tower 2 of PAC has been taken out of service for the foreseeable future.

Alternative restrooms in PAC Tower 2 include the restrooms on floors 2, 3, and 5 and an all-gender restroom on the 4th floor. Please note that all restrooms in Towers 1 and 3 remain closed as part of the ongoing construction efforts.

We appreciate your patience and understanding.

It’s a great opportunity to enjoy college volleyball with your family or friends, while supporting our Prairie Star student-athletes. See you at the arena on Friday! Go Prairie Stars!

Multi-Factor SMS No Longer Available After October 30

If you use SMS passcodes when signing in to university resources with Duo, you will need to select a different option before October 30.

SMS passcodes are the least secure option when using Multi-Factor Authentication and the university is removing the SMS option beginning October 30 to help better protect university resources from cyber criminals. MFA also helps protect personal information, such as access to direct deposit.

As a University of Illinois employee, you are required to complete ethics training on an annual basis. This year's course focuses on relevant issues and events as they relate to the State Officials and Employees Ethics Act, Illinois Executive Order 15-09 and the Illinois Human Rights Act.

The training is available until 5:00 PM Central Time on October 31, 2025.

Dear UIS Community Members:

Maintaining a safe campus is an important responsibility the entire UIS community takes seriously.

Colleagues,

I am pleased to share the 2024-25 Enrollment and Retention Management Impact Report with you. This report highlights the collective work and progress we’ve made this past year to support student success and strengthen enrollment and retention at UIS. Please take a moment to discover how ERM has had an impact on enrollment and retention at UIS in the past year.
