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.

On Sunday, December 4 from 6:00 am - 6:00 pm, Administrative Information Technology Services (AITS) will be performing mandatory quarterly maintenance on all production Solaris and Linux servers. This maintenance necessitates Banner and related applications to be unavailable during this timeframe.
The Staff Appreciation Day Committee is working on a plan to celebrate our Civil Service and AP staff members in AY22-23, and we could use your help!
Please complete the Staff Appreciation Day Survey to let us know what kind of celebration YOU prefer for Appreciation Day, and we will use the results to make a plan that works the best for most.
We appreciate your help!

Construction Highlights
WUIS Building - Restroom Renovation
Say good-bye to the old flooring and toilet stools in the restrooms of the WUIS building! A combination of F&S crews and external contractors are replacing the floors and stool fixtures, as well as patching and painting the walls. Material shortages and unexpected conditions have forced changes to the scope of work, which in turn have caused delays, but the final outcome will be a nice improvement.
Due to the changes yesterday as a result of the cybersecurity incident, connecting to the VPN now requires 2FA. The login screen askes for a 2nd password.
The 2nd Password field is for two-factor authentication (2FA). In this field you will type the option below that aligns with how you authenticate with Duo Mobile for 2FA.
UIS experienced a cybersecurity incident this week. While this incident was caught quickly and intervention took place immediately, we are acting in an abundance of caution and requiring that all UIS users reset their passwords. Please do so within the next 24 hours. After Friday, November 18 at 3pm CST, we will expire passwords for any user who has not yet reset their password and they will be forced to reset their password before they can login to any service.
Greetings, colleagues!
Here are some important updates and announcements from the UIS Office of Human Resources:
