Information Technology Services works with the university community as a whole and, specifically, with technology-focused units across the campus to identify strategies, emerging technologies, standards, infrastructure, and services in support of the UIS mission, vision, and strategic plan.
ITS provides students and employees with a campus user account (NetID) which allows access to campus services such as mail and Canvas, as well as to cloud services such as Box, Google Apps, and Office 365.
UIS students, faculty, and staff have access to a rich collection of software applications and hardware for general computing, research, and multimedia development.
Faculty may request additional software and or hardware in support of their instruction by sending e-mail to Kara McElwrath [kmcel2@uis.edu] with a description of the classroom need. Requests must be made eight weeks in advance, and request fulfillment is contingent on availability of funding.
ITS wants to help the campus community to stay safe online by providing access to Cyber Security Training, information about data privacy, and great information as we participate in the National Cyber Security Awareness Month every October.
In an effort to better educate the UIS Campus Community about cyber security we are providing training. Please login to the University of Illinois System’s Security Education Platform to see the topics that are available.
Two-factor authentication (2FA), sometimes referred to as two-step verification or dual-factor authentication, is a security process in which users provide two different authentication factors to verify themselves.

Due to the prevalence and ease of administering surveys to a large population, “survey fatigue” is common among university populations. The lower response rates on surveys decreases their validity and wastes the resources of student, faculty, alumni, and staff time, as well as expenses incurred for nationally normed surveys (eg. National Survey of Student Engagement).
Therefore, the UIS Institutional Data Steering Committee (IDSC) is implementing this Policy to coordinate surveys at our university.
ITS Client Services is the primary point of contact for technology questions, problems, and issues. Support is available to all UIS faculty, staff, and enrolled students.

If you have questions about the best way to contact us for your particular situation, please give us a call and a consultant will be able to direct you.
