Shutting Down Skype for Business

ITS will be shutting down the UIS Skype for Business server on December 16, 2022. Microsoft has been migrating Skype for Business functionality to Microsoft Teams and plans to no longer support Skype for Business.

Please note that this has no impact on Skype; Skype for Business is a separate service.    

Please reach out to ITS Client Services if you would like additional training on Zoom or MS Teams.

What should I do if:

There is now an online payment option for any lost keys that were issued by Campus Police. The form can be found on the UIS Campus Police webpage under Forms & Resources (link included below). Please note, you will need your University login information to access the payment form. 

The online payment option is only available for credit card transactions. Any cash/check payments can still be made at the University Bursar’s Office during their operating hours.

Facilities and Services has encountered an unforeseen issue with the flooring installation at WUIS. The condition of the subfloor requires extensive grinding to prepare it for the installation of the new flooring. This is a very time-consuming process that we anticipate will push the reopening of the restrooms to the middle of next week, November 16 or 17.

We apologize for the continued inconvenience, and every effort will be made to reopen the restrooms as quickly as possible.

Protect those you love and yourself by getting a COVID booster over in PAC on from 1-4 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 16, or 9 a.m.-12 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 18th!

On Wednesday, November 2, the UIS Office of Advancement is hosting the UIS Scholarship luncheon at the Student Union.

On this date, please make sure to plan accordingly and utilize alternate parking lots authorized by your parking permit.
