Dear Colleagues,
The Springfield area is forecasted to receive its first significant snowfall of the season tonight through Tuesday evening. The university does not anticipate any changes to campus operations; however, this is the time of year to reacclimate ourselves with UIS’ inclement weather procedures.
As a matter of policy, UIS does not close due to inclement weather except under the most extraordinary conditions. However, periods of inclement weather often result in conditions that make travel difficult and at times hazardous.
Dear UIS Students and Colleagues,
The Springfield area is forecasted to receive its first snowfall of the season tonight through Tuesday. We do not anticipate any changes to campus operations, however we wanted to take this opportunity to remind you about UIS’ inclement weather policy.
