Box.com is a cloud storage solution that the University of Illinois Springfield utilizes for storing, sharing, and backing up content.

What is a UIS Box Team folder?

Box Team folders are a great way to manage and organize unit documents - and are critical for business continuity. What makes them unique is that they do not belong to a single user; they are owned by the UIS Box Administration account. This means that as users leave UIS/change roles, their files remain safe and continue to be accessible by others. Team folders also provide protection for deleted files (which go into the UIS Box Administration trash and can be recovered within 30 days).

Repeated Duo Attempts and Prompts

Data migration from one computer to another may be needed for different scenarios.  Scenarios can include when a user is moving from one computer to a new computer, the drive on the computer is starting to fail, the computer itself is needing repair and needs to be sent in to the manufacturer, or a number of other possibilities. 

ITS will assist in the data migration process as much as possible. We recommend that all users at UIS take advantage of our cloud storage solutions, primarily Box for backing-up their data.

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.

Phone System

UIS hosts a Cisco-based Internet Protocol (IP) phone system. 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.
