Tuition and Financial Aid
Tuition and Fees
Co-op students can register for classes on either campus. They will pay tuition and fees to the campus at which they registered for the class. Thus, in a single semester students may be registered on both campuses and be paying some tuition and fees on each campus. The exception is if the students are only taking classes at SIUE, in which case they will be registered for one credit of 601 with no charge at SIUC.
Assistantships
In order for a student to hold an assistantship at SIUE, the student must maintain a GPA of 3.0 and enroll in at least six credit hours per academic term. The student may be enrolled at SIUE only, or be enrolled at both SIUE and SIUC as long as the cumulative enrolled hours equals at least six. Co-op PhD students will receive a tuition waiver and stipend. For more information, visit the SIUE Graduate School website.
Financial Aid
SIUC is the degree-granting institution, so financial aid will be based out of SIUC
-
If the student is enrolled in classes at SIUE only, the student is not eligible for financial aid.
-
If the student is enrolled in classes at SIUC only, the student is eligible for financial aid through SIUC.
-
If the student is enrolled in classes at both SIUE and SIUC, and the student has enough hours at SIUC to receive maximum aid, then SIUC will offer all financial aid.
-
If the student is enrolled in classes at both SIUE and SIUC, and does not have enough hours at SIUC to get maximum financial aid, SIUC will do a consortium agreement with SIUE and offer all financial aid.
Co-op PhD students are not eligible for Federal Work Study.
