Freshmen Entering SIUE in the Fall

Congratulations on your admission to SIUE! A growing number of academically talented students are interested in pursuing a degree at SIUE, so admission to the University has become very competitive. You should be extremely proud of your accomplishments. For more information about completing your enrollment, registering for classes and discovering the array of opportunities waiting for you on campus, please review the next steps checklist.

New freshmen admitted for the fall term will be advised and registered for courses during Springboard to Success. Invitation packets to Springboard to Success are mailed beginning mid-October and continue on an ongoing basis. Attendance at this program is mandatory, and students must submit the Springboard to Success registration/enrollment fee prior to May 1. This fee is nonrefundable. All Springboard to Success registrations and fees submitted after May 1 will be considered on a space available basis. 

Mark your calendar for The SIUE Experience – our mandatory orientation program that starts Thursday before classes begin. More details will follow at Springboard to Success.

Registration

The SIUE undergraduate catalog and class schedules are online.

A majority of new freshmen are admitted as undeclared majors. You will have an opportunity to discuss the process of applying for a major during your advisement session. A limited number of first-time, full-time freshmen students will be considered for direct entry into the School of Business; School of Education, Health and Human Behavior; School of Engineering and School of Nursing or for the conditional entry program for the School of Pharmacy. Most students will enter the Schools of Business; Education, Health and Human Behavior; Engineering; Nursing or Pharmacy through the traditional process. 

An official transcript for college credit earned while in high school must be requested from the college/university granting the credit. AP and IB test scores also should be sent directly to SIUE in order to receive college credit. Send to: SIUE, Office of Admissions, Campus Box 1047, Edwardsville, IL 62026-1047 or electronically (must come directly from the institution) to etranscripts@siue.edu. 

Placement testing information (if required) will be included in the registration packet. Find additional information about placement testing and register for necessary tests.
