Overview Orientation & Advisement Transfer Welcome Program Your First Year

Congratulations and Welcome to the SIUE Community!

Your transfer admission was based on your academic record to date and is contingent upon successful completion of any coursework in which you may now be enrolled. Your admission is valid only for the term indicated in your admission letter. If you are unable to attend this term and wish to be considered for a future term, please submit a new application. You may do this for two additional consecutive terms before another application fee will be required.

Admitted Transfer Next Steps Checklist

Apply and be admitted – Congratulations!

  • Activate your Student Identification Number - This is a nine-digit number that begins with 800 and is included in your admission letter. Your Student Identification Number (sometimes referred to as your Banner ID number) is important in assisting you as you enroll at SIUE.
    1. Access CougarNet
    2. Enter your Student Identification Number
    3. Enter your temporary PIN, which is your birth date, in the following format: MMDDYY
    4. You will be prompted to change your PIN
    5. Once you have changed your PIN, your Student Identification Number will be active
  • Obtain your e-ID (used for email and other campus accounts)
    • Check your SIUE email account regularly. This is especially important as financial aid, payment information and updates will be sent to your SIUE email.
    • Explore CougarNet—the secure way to manage your personal, academic and financial aid information.
    • Begin your registration/enrollment process by scheduling an appointment with academic advising. Learn more about advising and orientation.
    • Apply for financial aid as soon as possible beginning October 1 (SIUE FAFSA code: 001759). If entering in the fall semester, don’t forget to check out our scholarships. 
    • Take placement tests if needed. Get more details and register for a test.
    • Submit your housing application and deposit if you plan to live on campus (May 1 for fall; April 1 for summer; December 1 for spring).
    • Connect with the Office of Accessible Campus Community and Equitable Student Support (ACCESS) to request reasonable curricular/co-curricular accommodations.
    • Provide proof of immunization prior to the first day of attendance. View health requirements and information page.
    • After registering for classes, obtain your Cougar Card at the Service Center (Rendleman Hall, Room 1309) and an SIUE parking permit at Parking Services (Rendleman Hall, Room 1113).
    • Submit your final official college transcripts reflecting all grades and any degrees earned to:
      SIUE Office of Admissions
      Box 1047
      Edwardsville, IL 62026-1047
    • Official transcripts may be submitted through various electronic transcript services and can also be sent to etranscripts@siue.edu directly from the institution.
    • Transcripts received from a student will not be considered official. Intentional nondisclosure of transfer credit may result in dismissal from the University.
  • Check CougarNet for details regarding your credit transferring to SIUE. The Transfer Center will evaluate credit submitted on official transcripts within 15 working days. Watch this video to learn how to view your transcript in CougarNet. If you are pursuing a second bachelor’s degree, your general education requirements are considered complete, and individual courses will not be evaluated.
  • After registering for classes, complete Sexual Assault Awareness Training
    • As an incoming SIUE student, you are required to complete Not Anymore Sexual Assault training in order to register for future terms. 
    • Failure to complete Not Anymore Sexual Assault training prior to registering for your next term, will place a hold on your student account and keep you from registering for a future term.
