Visit Our Campus

Campus Visit sessions are an opportunity for prospective freshman, transfer, and graduate students to find out why UIS has been recognized as one of the top Regional Public Universities in the Midwest for more than a decade! Interact with admission staff and student ambassadors, sit in on an overview of the university and admission that will include information on scholarships, housing, campus life, and applying to UIS. We want you to leave feeling better acquainted with our Campus and having all your questions answered.

The 30-minute information session is followed by a walking tour of campus that will last approximately one hour, conducted mostly outdoors. Please wear appropriate footwear and dress for the weather. Once you register you will receive confirmation and reminder emails with more details about directions, parking and masks.

Plan Your Trip:

Make the most of your trip to the Capital City and get to know the community UIS calls home. Whether you are planning to stay overnight or a day visit, check the calendar of events to see what is going in Springfield. While you are in the Capital City explore some of our sites and places to eat. Walk in Lincoln’s footsteps – from the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum to the Lincoln Home or Tomb. No trip to Springfield is complete without trying a local favorite, the famous horseshoe sandwich.
