Academic Integrity Policy

The University of 缅北禁地 at Springfield (UIS) is committed to community and academic excellence which thrive through honesty, trust, and mutual respect. When faculty, students, and staff come to UIS, they join an academic community founded on the search for knowledge. At the heart of that search is personal honesty that makes possible an open and vibrant exchange of ideas. The intellectual health of the community depends on this honesty and sustains itself through the trust and mutual respect of each of its members.

The University of 缅北禁地 Springfield will offer 42 accelerated on-campus, online and blended courses for prospective and current students. All classes will begin Monday, Oct. 18, and will conclude in December.

鈥淭his is a great opportunity for new UIS students to start or finish their education,鈥 said UIS Interim Chancellor Karen Whitney. 鈥淚t鈥檚 also a chance for current students to add to their course load and potentially earn their degree in a shorter period of time.鈥

Affiliated Faculty Policy

Non-salaried or 鈥渁ffiliate鈥 appointments are made by the department to recognize contributions by persons who are otherwise employed outside UIS, but contribute in some way to the teaching, research and service missions. The specific conditions of all these appointments are determined by each department and college. Departments may name an individual as an affiliate faculty member if the contributions of the individual will be substantive and sustained in achieving the mission of the department, college and the University. Examples include:

The University of 缅北禁地 Springfield has announced eight new faculty appointments. Four faculty members will teach in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, one in the College of Business and Management and three in the College of Public Affairs and Administration.

University-Sanctioned Events Policy

The purpose of this policy is to provide guidelines for University of 缅北禁地 Springfield students and faculty to address absence due to participation in university-sanctioned events.

Regular class attendance is expected of all UIS students. It is the first responsibility of students to respect the integrity of the educational process and to participate as fully as possible in all course-related activities. The University also values and supports the required participation of both on-ground and on-line students in university sanctioned events.
