UIS

The University of Illinois Springfield has announced an increase in spring semester enrollment. According to campus officials, as of Jan. 30, total enrollment is 4,107 – an increase of 363 students from Spring 2022. The number is down slightly from 4,198 last fall.

UIS also said the number amounts to a 9.7% increase in head count, a 10.3% increase in credit hours and a 12.5 percent increase in total full-time enrollment from a year ago.

A 97% persistence rate (the percentage of students who return to college for their second year) is up from the typical typical rate of 94%.

Campus visits are starting this month. UIS also hosts an Open House on Feb. 20, which offers a more in-depth look at life at UIS.

The University of Illinois Board of Trustees voted to keep tuition rates flat for incoming students at UIS for the 2023-24 academic year, starting in August.
