On or after Tuesday, February 21, all University of Illinois license holders (including all three universities and the System Office) will receive a notification when they log in to an Adobe product. The notification will state that their license has expired. 

This notification is due to an unexpected delay in processing a renewed University of Illinois contract with Adobe. Despite the expiration notification, customers will not experience an interruption in service during the next seven (7) days.

Dear UIS Students and Employees:

UIS is committed to maintaining a drug-free environment for its students and employees, in compliance with applicable federal and state laws. Our Drug Prevention Policy and Program was prepared in accordance with the Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988 and the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act Amendments of 1989.   

Greetings! Here are some important updates and announcements from the UIS Office of Human Resources:

Supervisor Development Series

We wanted to remind you that this weekend (Saturday, February 11 and Sunday, February 12, 2023), AITS will be conducting a maintenance event on our production data center which necessitates Banner and related applications to be unavailable during two periods of time. On both Saturday and Sunday of the upcoming weekend, services will be unavailable starting at 6:00 AM each morning and will be available again by 6:00 PM each evening.

Business Objects is scheduled for an upgrade to version 4.3 the weekend of March 25. This upgrade has a very different user interface; as such, we are no longer offering training classes in the current version of Business Objects. We are still offering 1-on-1 report assistance with our data experts. You can sign up here: http://go.uillinois.edu/WebiReportAssistance

The UIS Police Department presents training classes on ways to minimize your risk during an active shooter / active threat incident. The next class will be on Friday, February 17, at 10:00 am in Brookens Auditorium. The class will be approximately 1 hour in length.

Banner Financial Aid will be upgraded on Tuesday, February 14, 2023 to incorporate regulatory requirements along with several minor defect corrections. The upgrade will begin at 5:30 AM CST and is expected to be complete by 7:30 AM CST.  Banner will not be brought completely down for this event; however, Banner Administrative Pages, BDM (attachments), Workflow, Chrome River, Eddie, and Amazon Business for Finance will be unavailable during the upgrade.

Please be advised that parking Lot E will be closed to campus for parking on Wednesday, February 8 due to the UIS Investiture of Chancellor Janet L. Gooch.

Thanks in advance for your cooperation and understanding.

Sincerely,

UIS Parking
