Under Regulation 16.011 under Policy and Rules, civil service staff are now required to submit a conflict of interest form annually. A new online form is now available and is required to be submitted each year, regardless of whether you have an activity to report.
Please complete the form by October 31, 2025. You may complete the form alongside your required ethics training during the month of October.
You can find the Conflict of Interest Form here:
https://appserv7.admin.uillinois.edu/FormBuilderSurvey/Survey/vpaa/cs_coi/civil_service_coi_reporting/Survey
- If you have nothing to report, you will only need to respond to one question and submit the form.
- If you have activities to report, you will be able to complete the form online and route it for signature by entering your supervisor’s NetID.
Examples of conflicts you should report include (but are not limited to):
- Any position or job you hold outside the university
- A business owned by you or an immediate family member (spouse, parent, child, sibling, etc.), whether or not the entity does business with the university
- Board or leadership positions you hold with a non-profit or not-for-profit outside the university
- Farmland owned by you or your immediate family
- Other types of income-producing activity
- Government positions outside the university
Activities you do not need to report include:
- Activities directly related to your university position
- Ownership in stocks, bonds, or other investments, unless they pose a specific conflict with your university role
Questions?
If you are uncertain whether an activity should be reported, please contact ua-rnua-coci@uillinois.edu for guidance.
