In light of the drastic changes and fluidity of circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville’s Office of Admissions is giving students more time to contemplate their educational plans and consider enrolling at SIUE in the fall. 

Admission and scholarship deadlines for fall 2020 have been extended through Wednesday, Aug. 12. Additionally, the application fee has been waived. 

“We know there are students who are still uncertain about their plans for school, or their plans at another institution has changed, and they may want to take advantage of SIUE being a local, affordable and high-quality institution,” said Todd Burrell, director of Undergraduate Admissions. 

“We will still have time to review students’ applications, and if they are admitted, the students will have time to meet with an advisor to get registered for their appropriate course load,” explained Burrell. “This is the first time we’ve extended the registration deadline this late. We recognize the conditions surrounding the pandemic, and we want to let students know we’re still here for them.” 

SIUE’s fall semester begins Monday, Aug. 24. To apply to SIUE, visit siue.edu/apply/, where students can also access a mobile friendly application.
