The University of Illinois Springfield (UIS) considers remote work to be a viable alternative work arrangement for Academic Professional and Civil Service employees in cases where individual, job, and supervisor characteristics are suited to such an arrangement. Remote work allows an employee to work at home, or other approved remote location, for a part of their regular workweek. In rare occasions, full remote work may be considered appropriate. Remote work is a voluntary work alternative that may be appropriate for some employees and some jobs.

The University of Illinois Springfield encourages every employee to intentionally engage in professional learning and career development opportunities. Training opportunities are available from a number of departments on campus, through the University system, from third-party partners, and from external providers.
