Dear UIS Community,

The University of Illinois Springfield Police Department wants to alert you to a recent fraudulent phone scam targeting members of the surrounding community. These scams involve callers falsely identifying themselves as law enforcement officials from surrounding jurisdictions and claiming the recipient is involved in an ongoing criminal investigation and/or legal matter.

In each reported case, the caller attempts to coerce the victim into making a monetary payment to avoid arrest or being named as a suspect in a fictitious investigation.

Please be advised that the UIS Public Affairs Center (PAC) Plumbing Infrastructure Repair Project has started. Therefore, the teardrop entrance to PAC is closed for the duration of this work.

During this time, SMTD bus service will only stop at the bus shelter next to Founders Residence Hall, located at Eliza Farnham and Vachel Lindsay Drive.

Your patience and understanding are very much appreciated.

The UIS Police Department would like to inform you about an upcoming Drone Training Course being hosted by our department. This course is part of our continuing efforts to enhance preparedness through the responsible use of emerging technologies.

As part of the necessary plumbing infrastructure renovation project that has begun this summer in the Public Affairs Center, Facilities & Services is working in collaboration with multiple campus partners to ensure a smooth transition process in operations. From June 2025 to September 2026, several units currently located in the PAC will temporarily pause or relocate their operations to other campus spaces due to the drilling and pipe excavation activities.
