Students, Faculty, and Staff,
The restrooms on the first floor of Brookens Library have been closed due to a sewage system failure. The primary and backup sewage pumps failed unexpectedly this afternoon. F&S is working diligently on repairs but restoration of the system may not be completed until early next week.
Every effort will be made to keep the outage as brief as possible.
We sincerely appreciate your patience. Please feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions or concerns.
Thank you,
December 8, 2022

What does this mean?
On December 13, 2022, UIS will be implementing 2-Factor Authentication (2FA) to better protect both you and the university from unauthorized access to your personal data stored in the university's enterprise systems. UIS will be requiring a second layer of security to access your University account making it difficult for an unauthorized person to access your information. 2FA provides better account protection than merely using a password.
On December 6 at approximately 10 a.m., the UIS Police Department will be conducting a test of the Rave text message system in conjunction with the monthly tornado siren test. We will follow up the test with a brief survey (no longer than 12 questions) to help evaluate the effectiveness of the tornado sirens and the Rave text message system. We would appreciate your participation to help identify areas we need to improve.
