The SIUE Experience

Welcome to SIUE!

*|FNAME|*,

We're excited you've chosen SIUE and we can't wait to see you on campus! This short video will give you an idea of how your first week at SIUE will begin.

We also have two programs planned for the fall semester to help you get acclimated to college life:

  • The SIUE Experience is an interactive, multi-day program designed to provide you with additional information about our values. You'll also meet the other members of the Class of 2023. This is the beginning of your journey at SIUE, and all new students are expected to attend. 
  • Cougar Welcome takes place during the first two weeks of the semester and will provide an introduction to all the opportunities available for on-campus involvement. Representatives from student organizations, including club sports and fraternity and sorority life, will be available to answer all your questions. 

Get Connected

We want you to stay connected to what's happening at SIUE, so throughout the year we'll be sending information via email on important topics such as textbook rental, financial aid, campus involvement and more. Be sure to check your SIUE email account regularly for these updates. 

If you anticipate needing any type of accommodation, including alternate format media, or have questions about the physical address provided, please call the Office for Accessible Campus Community and Equitable Student Support at 618-650-3726 or email myaccess@siue.edu in advance of your participation.
