AITS - Service Desk - Conflict Form Information and Support (COCI & RNUA)

This article provides information and support for University of Illinois Civil Service employees and Academic Professionals completing conflict disclosure forms, including form access, reporting guidance, and support contacts.

Use this article to find the correct conflict disclosure form, reporting guidance, and support contacts. The form you use depends on your employee classification and University appointment.
