The University of Illinois Springfield announced plans for two commencement ceremonies scheduled for Saturday, May 14.
Commencement is happening at the Bank of Springfield Center, located at Ninth and Adams streets in downtown Springfield. The school said 622 people will be in the ceremonies out of 1,131 students eligible to graduate.
Registration is underway for more than 200 summer courses at the University of Illinois Springfield.
Current and prospective students can apply for classes starting on June 6.
“Whether students are wanting to get a jumpstart on classes, or are determined to graduate sooner, this is a great opportunity to continue their educational goals,” said Vickie Cook, UIS associate vice chancellor for enrollment. “Reduced fees this year make it more affordable than ever for students to take summer courses.”
Volunteer Emergency Worker Policy
In July 2006 the State of Illinois passed the Volunteer Emergency Worker Higher Education Protection Act. This state law provides for accommodation to be made for students who volunteer to serve as emergency workers. If an absence is the result of a student’s role as a volunteer emergency worker an instructor is required to accommodate the absence within reason.
Students can appeal through the Records and Registration Appeals Committee if they believe the professor has not reasonably accommodated an absence resulting from volunteer emergency work.

Accelerated Course Schedule Information
UIS offers accelerated courses outside of our traditional full semester dates to provide flexibility to students as they work toward the completion of a UIS program. These courses are termed First Half, Last (Second) Half, or Intersession because they are offered during a portion of the semester.
