Access/Reporting/Training

Banner is a fully integrated suite of administrative software applications (Finance, Human Resources, Student Information System, etc.) used by the three campuses of University of Illinois for business operations.

The Banner Support team provides coordination and continuity between the UIS campus and the University’s central enterprise systems support organizations. We support campus administrative and college units, faculty, and students in their use of UI-Integrate Self-Service/Banner and related student systems.

Phones

ITS provides a Cisco-based Internet Protocol (IP) phone system for the UIS community. This system allows for IP desk phones to be connected to the campus network eliminating the need for extra cabling to be run all throughout campus to provide phone support. The IP phone system also allows for more flexibility by allowing for a softphone option to our users. A softphone is a piece of software that allows users to make telephone calls over the Internet via a computer or smartphone.

ITS offers an email forwarding service for life for all UIS graduates.  This service allows UIS graduates to opt-in and provide a personal email address that all messages sent to their "NetID"@uis.edu account will be forwarded to.

This services goes into effect when a graduate’s NetID is de-activated three semesters after his/her last semester of enrollment.  More information about our NetID Lifecycle can be found on our IT Policies webpage.

Email accounts are created automatically for every UIS student and employee when the campus NetID is created. Microsoft Outlook is the most widely used email client on campus and is installed on nearly every office computer, both Windows and macOS, available anywhere through online, and mobile devices.

Information Technology Services department at UIS provides a lecture capture system to be used on or off campus allowing you to record whatever is displayed on the computer screen along with your audio and video.

Information Technology Services and Facility Scheduling Services are pleased to announce a new process for requesting classrooms and instructional technology services for the courses you will be teaching. You can request classrooms, equipment, programs, and other technical services to support your teaching objectives.

By submitting this form prior to the start of the academic semester, ITS and Facility Scheduling Services will be able to most effectively fulfill your planned technology needs.

UIS has joined Google for Education in an effort to provide the campus with a streamlined way of taking advantage of the many apps available by Google. Working online and in collaboration with others has never been easier! Using your NetID and password, users can access Google Drive and Docs, Calendar, Sites, and more.

As a member of the UIS Community, there are several options available for file sharing and storage. Each tool has its own advantages and disadvantages. Please refer to the following information when trying to decide which tool is right for you, and contact ITS Client Services with questions.
