Cleaning Contract

Residents will receive a Cleaning Contract from their RA at the April Community Meeting. Complete this document to ensure all necessary cleaning is done with the appropriate division of responsibility, especially if one roommate/suitemate is leaving earlier than the others. This will help ensure that the proper individual is held responsible for damages, etc. Your student should return the Cleaning Contract to their RA by 4:00 p.m. on Friday, April 30, 2021.

Return keys to the front desk

When your student is ready to leave, they should stop by the Front Desk to return their keys. Failure to return their keys will result in a re-core charge of up to $123.

Provide mail-forwarding information

If your student is moving out of University Housing, they will need to provide mail-forwarding information. Your student can find information about how to provide Housing with a forwarding address in their SIUE email account. Mail will not be forwarded if your student does not provide us with this information; it will be returned to sender.

Choose Live-On for Fall 2021-Spring 2022

As a diverse residential community, SIUE houses nearly 3,000 students on campus. Close proximity to classes, reasonable cost, and a strong community environment make living on-campus an enticing choice. Our upperclass living options all offer shared and private bedrooms and enjoy the same amenities as first year students - Internet access, expanded basic cable, computer lab, laundry, mail facilities, and more. Living on-campus is the best way to get involved in campus activities, find support and meet lifelong friends. Choose to return to campus as an upperclass student at SIUE!

Choose from three housing options: Evergreen Hall, Cougar Village Apartments, and the upperclass wing in the residence hall.

Current residents who wish to live on-campus for fall 2021 can complete the post-process application for space at siue.edu/housing/apply. The deadline to apply is May 1.
