The Illinois Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) provides public access to government documents and records. As a state institution, the University of Illinois is subject to the Illinois FOIA.
The Office for University Relations responds to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests for central administration offices and for requests that span the three-campus University of Illinois system. If your FOIA is for information from one of the three Illinois campuses, please direct your request to the appropriate office on the campus (Urbana-Champaign, Chicago, Springfield).
Requests must include the requestor's name, contact information, and a description of the document(s) being sought. The request must clearly state that you are requesting information under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act. Requests filed under the Freedom of Information Act, response letters, and responsive documents are themselves public records.
Submit your request by mail, email, fax or in person to:

After being notified of availability, you may view responsive documents in University Relations without charge, or a copy of the responsive documents may be obtained at the rate of twenty-five cents per page. If the documents are to be sent by United States mail, there is also a charge for postage. Printed copies of records will be provided only after payment (check or cash) is received by University Relations.
If you have questions, contact Thomas Hardy or Ginny Hudak-David, associate director, at 217-333-6400.
