The "final step" for entering fall 2008 freshmen prior to actually beginning courses is New Freshman Welcome. To be held on Saturday, August 23, 2008, this activity-filled day is our opportunity to welcome our newest freshmen to the university. Visit the New Freshman Welcome page for details.
There is no cost to attend this event, and parents are welcome to attend with their students if they would like. Please, mark your calendars now — you will learn more about New Freshman Welcome when you visit campus for your Springboard to Success session. For now, just know that we expect you’ll join us for a great day on campus on August 23!
Note to newly admitted students: Your indication of an intended major on your online application for admission provides SIUE with your academic interests so that we can provide you with information related to your potential major. After you submit your application for admission, all references to your “Major” and “Degree” in the Application Summary will still indicate “Undeclared,” regardless of the intended majors you indicated on the online application.
SIUE does not direct declare new undergraduate students at the time of admission, except for some transfer students with an earned degree and some returning students. You will have an opportunity later to discuss the process of declaring your major and degree.
Congratulations on your acceptance to SIUE. We’re confident you’ll be pleased with your choice. A few things still await you before you attend your first SIUE class:
August 23 — New Freshman Welcome
As always, if you have any questions, just ask.
