Class Schedules

Advisement

Prior to registering for classes all degree seeking students must meet with an academic advisor.  Declared majors should consult their major advisors.  If you have not declared a major, advisement will occur in the Office of Academic Counseling and Advising.  You will obtain an Enrollment PIN from your advisor during your appointment.  This PIN will be REQUIRED in order to access registration on the web.  Please be sure to keep track of the PIN as it will be required for all registration and schedule changes for the Fall 2008 term.  Refer to the Advisement Information section for more information regarding advisement and registration.

In preparation for your advisement appointment, you should review the class schedule on CougarNet, www.siue.edu/COUGARNET, to plan a preliminary schedule.   Note the class subject, class number and course reference number (CRN).  This will allow you to make the most of your advisement appointment and will expedite the registration process following advisement.

Pre-requisites & Class Restrictions

Once you select classes, it is your responsibility to ensure that you have satisfied all pre-requisites and class restrictions.  These requirements may be found in the catalog or class schedule by clicking on the class title.  If you are currently enrolled in a pre-requisite needed for a planned class, you will be allowed to register.  However, if you fail to satisfactorily complete the pre-requisite prior to the beginning of Fall 2008, you should drop the planned class and select another.  If you fail to drop the class for which you do not meet pre-requisite requirements, the University may drop you.  It is your responsibility to manage your schedule to avoid administrative procedures that could reduce your desired class load.

Immunization Requirement

State law requires students born on or after January 1, 1957, who enter Illinois colleges to provide proof of immunization against the diseases of Measles, Mumps, Rubella, Tetanus and Diphtheria. Proof of immunity can be provided by having your health care provider complete the SIUE immunization form or by attaching a copy of a certified school immunization, military record, or child health immunization record to the SIUE form with Part I of that form completed. Return the forms to University Health Service, Box 1700, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, Edwardsville, IL 62026-1700. Blank forms may be obtained in the University Health Service. Failure to return the completed form will make it impossible for you to register for the next term. A $25.00 fee is charged to newly enrolled students who fail to complete this requirement by the first day of the first term of attendance.

Southern Illinois University Edwardsville established a mandatory health insurance requirement for all international students in 1990. All international students must obtain and show proof of medical insurance every semester of attendance at the University. Failure to provide this proof will result in cancellation of the currently enrolled courses for those international students.

University Holds

You may be prevented from registering if you have a Hold on your record.  For example, if you have an outstanding past due balance, you will be unable to register until the balance is paid.  To determine whether or not you have Holds that would prevent registration, check your registration status on CougarNet (www.siue.edu/COUGARNET).

CHECK SIUE email and CougarNet

The University communicates important information regarding things such as your bill, financial aid status and enrollment information.  Check your SIUE email account regularly.  In addition, ALWAYS verify changes to your academic record and/or bill in CougarNet (www.siue.edu/COUGARNET)!  This can be done in the Service Center if you don’t have personal internet access.

If you have not applied for a major, contact Academic Counseling and Advising to make an appointment or contact the office at 618-650-3701, Peck Hall 1315.

If you have been declared in your major program, contact your major department to schedule an advising appointment.

If you wish to enroll in 400- or 500-level courses for later application to a graduate degree at SIUE, you must have the prior approval of the course instructor, the Graduate Program Director, and the Graduate Dean. You must also have submitted an application for admission to classified (degree-seeking) status in the Graduate School before permission can be granted.

Undergraduates who seek permission to enroll in graduate-level courses for graduate credit must be within 16 hours (and not more than one semester) of completing an undergraduate degree. The Graduate Student Request Form (available in the Service Center) is used for this purpose. See the Graduate Catalog for detailed information.

NOTE: Courses numbered 500 or above cannot be applied to an undergraduate degree.

Graduate Students

If you have been admitted to a graduate degree program, or if you are in classification pending status, contact your major department.

If your status is unclassified non-degree seeking, contact the major department(s) in which the course you wish to take is offered.

Business Majors and Minors

School of Business Advisement

Please use the chart below to determine the appropriate location for academic information and advising in the School of Business.

Advising for summer and fall 2008

Students who are advised in Business Student Services may begin meeting with advisors for summer and fall 2008 advising on January 28, 2008.  Students who are advised in the individual academic departments should contact their advisor for information on advisement for summer and fall 2008.  

Appointments (Business Student Services)

Students who are advised in Business Student Services are encouraged to use appointments which are available for up to a month in advance.  Students may make an appointment by calling 618-650-3840 or by coming by the office in Founders Hall, room 3301. 

Drop-in time (Business Student Services)

Students who are advised in Business Student services may also drop-in to see an advisor.  The drop-in times are:

Monday through Friday 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.

Monday through Friday 1:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m., and

Monday through Thursday 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.

Names are taken only 1/2 hour prior to the beginning of the drop-in period.  Students are seen in the order that they appear on that list. If a student is not present when their name is called, we will move to the next student and continue down the list.  Students who were not present when their name was called will be added to the bottom of the list when they return.  We make every effort to assist any students who come to drop-in, but when the number of students on the drop-in list exceeds reasonable numbers, we will stop taking names until all students on the list have met with an advisor.

Students are encouraged to prepare for their meeting with their advisor by reviewing their program requirements, courses completed and the class schedule for the upcoming semester.  Program Guides for each major are available in Business Student Services, Founders Hall, room 3301 or online at http://www.siue.edu/business/advisement/  Click on Undergraduate Information for baccalaureate guides and Graduate Information for masters’ guides.
