Banner will be upgraded on Wednesday, December 21, 2022 to incorporate year-end regulatory requirements along with several minor defect corrections. The upgrade will begin at 4:30 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. In addition, Banner Self-Service, with the exception of Student Registration and Faculty Self-Service, will also be unavailable at this time.

Facilities & Services personnel will work in collaboration with external contractors on Thursday, December 15 to replace an old rooftop unit on the WUIS building. Work will begin at 7:00 a.m. and last most of the day as the old unit is removed and the new unit is placed and connected. Room temperatures may be unstable on the east side of the building until the new unit is fully operational. 

The University of Illinois Springfield is taking a look back at 2022 and our seven STAR successes of the year.

The SHIELD COVID-19 testing site in the WUIS building is open regular hours this week (10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday/Thursday), closed Dec. 16-Jan. 2 and will reopen at 10 a.m. Jan. 3. Compliance for those who are required to test will not be monitored during the planned closure.

Please be advised during the week of December 12-16, 2022, there will be some refurbishment occurring on the elevators in Brookens Library building. 

Only one elevator will be out of service at a time. We anticipate each elevator being out of service for a few hours.

We appreciate your patience as we work to improve our facilities.

Thank you,

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

Holiday Celebrations

While there will be no campus-wide holiday party this year, departments are encouraged to individually celebrate the season and recognize the hard work and commitment of UIS employees. We look forward to celebrating with everyone in May at the 2nd Annual End of the Academic Year Party.  Details forthcoming this spring.

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
