The University of Illinois Springfield, as well as the U of I’s other campuses in Urbana and Chicago, has been “100 percent online for registration since fall of 2004,” said Brian Clevenger, director of records and registration at UIS.
The U of I also uses the database system for grades, class rosters, syllabi, etc.
“We held out and did our course schedules on paper until summer-fall 2010,” he said. “Some still wanted to hold that paper in their hands. If you’re not great with change, it takes a while.
“It has saved us several thousand dollars,” Clevenger said. “We no longer mail grades or bills to students.”
Clevenger's comments were featured in a April 22, 2010, article in the State Journal-Register.
