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.

Can you give me a brief timeline of how your career led you to UIS?
After receiving my Ph.D. from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, I spent a year teaching in the university’s history department before accepting a postdoctoral fellowship at its Center for Great Plains Studies. I spent the next two years researching the Homestead Act, signed by Abraham Lincoln in 1862.
As site preparation and construction for Library Commons continues between the Health Sciences Building (HSB) and Student Union, please avoid walking through parking Lot A-North and the sidewalks surrounding the construction area. Large machinery will be used and materials will be transported within the construction zone and nearby areas. To ensure safety, please use caution when walking near HSB and the Student Union.
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.
