Next Steps

Dear ${Contacts.First Name},

Congratulations on your admission to the SIUE Graduate School! There are several important steps you will need to complete as part of your enrollment:

Step 1: Activate your student ID if you haven't already done so.

  • Access CougarNet.
  • Enter your student ID number: ${Contacts.Banner ID}.
  • Enter your temporary PIN, which is your date of birth in the following format: MMDDYY.
  • You will be prompted to change your PIN. Once you have changed your PIN, your student ID will be active.

Step 2: Set up your electronic username, or e-ID. Select “I want to get an e-ID.” You will need to enter your name, date of birth and student ID number.

Step 3: Schedule an advising appointment with your graduate program director to register for classes. Unclassified (non-degree seeking) students may contact the Service Center for assistance with course registration.

Step 4: Submit proof of immunization to SIUE Health Service. Contact SIUE Health Service at 618-650-2842 or cougarcare@siue.edu with questions.

Step 5: Explore your financing options. A number of assistantships, fellowships and scholarships are awarded each year to new and continuing graduate students. Visit the Bursar website for information about payment plans and payment due dates.

Step 6: Learn more about the Graduate School's online orientation program. You will find resources relating to academics, research and University policies, as well as practical information about transportation, parking, housing and recreation. You are also invited to attend The SIUE Experience, a campus-wide welcome event for new students. 

Have additional questions? Connect with us at graduateadmissions@siue.edu or call our office at 618-650-3705.

Welcome to SIUE. We look forward to seeing you on campus soon!

Sincerely,
Graduate and International Admissions Staff
