Winter session begins soon!
Winter session begins December 17, 2018 and goes through January 6, 2019. Helpful information, including a full course listing and FAQs can be found on the winter session website.
To ensure you're prepared for your winter session course, here are some helpful tips from ITS.
- Know your SIUE e-ID and make sure your password is valid.
- Have your SIUE University ID number (commonly referred to as your 800 number) and PIN available.
- Sign up for our e-Lert program. Enrollment in the e-Lert program ensures any issues you may encounter with your e-ID and password can be easily corrected with the least amount of downtime.
- Make sure you have a valid phone number on file with the University. If you need assistance, we will only be able to contact you at the official number you provided.
- Prior to the beginning of winter session, test your connectivity from home or from wherever you plan to access your winter session course.
Additional information can be found on our Plan for Success webpage.
