Dear Students:
As COVID-19 cases increase locally, SIUE continues to urge all SIUE Cougars to take measures to protect yourself, your family and friends, and your community.
Student Vaccination Incentive Program-Early Bird Drawing 8/6
- The deadline to be entered for the Early Bird Vaccination Incentive Drawing is Friday, August 6!
- Students who have provided proof of vaccination by August 6, 2021 and receive exemption approval will be entered to win a Green Parking Pass through our Student Vaccination Incentive Program. A Green Parking Pass provides access to the most centrally located parking lots at SIUE.
- Learn more about the Student Vaccination Incentive Program and how to submit your information on the SIUE COVID-19 website.
Mandatory Weekly Testing and Exemption
- Next week begins the weekly, mandatory testing program for Fall 2021. All students will be required to complete COVID-19 weekly testing by Friday of their first week coming to any SIUE campus (Alton, East St. Louis, Edwardsville, or clinical sites) and every week thereafter. No testing is required prior to your arrival to campus.
- Students may REQUEST an exemption from weekly mandatory testing for the following reasons:
-
- Are fully vaccinated (2 weeks from date of last vaccination dose)
- Have tested positive for COVID-19 within the last 90 days (for the duration of the 90-day period)
-
Students taking a fully online class schedule as identified in Cougar Net, and who do not plan to work or live on campus, utilize on campus services, or attend on-campus activities will automatically be exempted.
Mandatory Weekley Testing FAQ
- If you missed the testing and exemption FAQ earlier this week, check it out on the Testing Exemption FAQ page.
Please get vaccinated if you are able. After reviewing the above websites if you have additional questions, please email covidtesting@siue.edu.
