It has been a busy summer in our classrooms - we have successfully converted 34 classrooms to be hyflex! Our classroom technology refresh project has also involved installing annotating monitors, second monitors, bring-your-own-device capabilities, document cameras, and easy-to-use control units to manage the technology. 

We are inviting all faculty who haven't yet seen the upgraded classrooms to join us Tuesday, August 22 at 11:30am in UHB 1007 for a tour!

ITS is offering a new service to campus that allows employees to make/receive phone calls to their office number on their cell phone or laptop/desktop.

This service will replace IP Communicator, which has been used as a 'soft phone'. IP Communicator will be retired as of September 1 for legal compliance reasons. Ray Baum's Act requires that location information be included with a 911 call and IP Communicator does not provide that information. Support for IP Communicator ended as of September 30, 2022.

ITS is excited to announce that we are in the implementation portion of our classroom technology refresh project - converting 34 classrooms to be hyflex and installing annotating monitors, bring-your-own-device capabilities, and easy-to-use control units to manage the technology. 

You can schedule a tour of our refreshed classrooms using the button below:

During the break between semesters, ITS will be upgrading the servers that host Wi-Fi and the VPN on the afternoon of Wednesday, May 17. 

Users may experience a brief interruption in Wi-Fi service during this time. Users already connected to the VPN should remain connected, but there may be a brief period when new connections will not be available.

Shutting Down Skype for Business

Information Technology Services will be shutting down the UIS Skype for Business server on Monday, April 17. Microsoft has been migrating Skype for Business functionality to Microsoft Teams and plans to no longer support Skype for Business.

Please note that this has no impact on Skype; Skype for Business is a separate service.    

If you would like additional training on Zoom or Microsoft Teams, please reach out to ITS Client Services.

On or after Tuesday, February 21, all University of Illinois license holders (including all three universities and the System Office) will receive a notification when they log in to an Adobe product. The notification will state that their license has expired. 

This notification is due to an unexpected delay in processing a renewed University of Illinois contract with Adobe. Despite the expiration notification, customers will not experience an interruption in service during the next seven (7) days.
