Toilet Clogging?
To reduce the occurrence of your toilet clogging, University Housing Facilities Management recommends to only flush toilet paper. Even though wipes, toilet cleaning wands, and personal item packaging states flushable, it is causing clogging issues. Paper towels should NEVER be flushed down the toilet.
Facilities Issue? Put in a work-order!
University Housing Facilities Management (UHFM) is the unit assigned to the development and maintenance of University Housing facilities and grounds. UHFM is responsible for repairing housing units, care of the grounds surrounding housing facilities performs snow removal, maintains the cleanliness of common areas and offices in University Housing buildings oversees pest control and much more.
In the event of any building or grounds related issues, Students need to initiate the repair by submitting a Maintenance Request to University Housing Facilities Management (UHFM). UHFM responds to student-initiated repair requests as a priority. To complete a work order, click HERE!!!
Close your Windows!
Please keep windows closed while the air conditioning is on.
Open windows increase the humidity level in a space which may result in excessive condensation dripping out of vents or from the ceiling. Thank you for your cooperation.

What is e-Lert?
SIUE's e-Lert is a text messaging service that will be used to quickly notify faculty, staff, and student cell phones when an urgent situation, such as a bomb threat, severe weather, hostile intruder, or when the University closes due to inclement weather. There is no cost to register for the alerts; however, standard rates may apply if your cell phone plan does not include text messaging.
How do I register for SIUE e-Lert?
If you are a student, faculty, or staff member, you can register by clicking the "Sign Up Now" link and entering your active e-id, password, and cell phone number. Each time you are notified to change your e-id password, you will also be given an opportunity to enroll, update your cell phone number if it has changed, or cancel your registration with the system.
You will still receive alerts as long as you have the same cell phone number.
Rave Guardian
Southern Illinois University Edwardsville (SIUE) now offers the Rave Guardian app for its students and their families. Rave Guardian is one of the best ways to not only improve personal safety but also protect your friends by building a private safety network.
