I will uphold high standards, in both my personal and academic endeavors, striving to achieve success while making a positive impact on the University community. I will demonstrate a concern for others and respect their right to a civil environment. I recognize that higher education is a privilege and will seek to make the most of this opportunity. Committed to the SIUE community; its past, present and future. Open to other points of view. United in school spirit and pride. Grateful for the privilege and the opportunities of higher education. Accepting of classmates as colleagues and equals. Respectful of the rights of others.

We are One – We are the “e” The We Are One, We are the “e” campaign is to cultivate a community of citizens directed to a unified campus enriched with diversity of race, ethnicity, religion, age, gender, abilities, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation and experiences. Additionally, the campaign will work to promote civility, communication, awareness and connectedness among all members of the SIUE community.

History The institution traces its origin to a farsighted group of concerned parents and business leaders in the community. In 1955, the group began an advocacy campaign to establish a public university. By 1956, they had formed the Southwestern Illinois Council for Higher Education. In 1957, SIUE opened with two residence centers in Alton and East St. Louis. By 1959, enrollment had increased to 3,800 greatly exceeding the temporary facilities and available services. A planning team investigated permanent sites in the Metro-East counties and selected a location near Edwardsville. Groundbreaking for SIU Edwardsville was held in 1963. In 1965, SIUE opened the Peck Classroom Building and Lovejoy Library in the midst of 2,660 acres of rolling land and woods. Today, fulfilling the dreams of the Council, SIUE is a premier Metropolitan University, offering a broad choice of degrees and programs ranging from liberal arts to professional studies. Undergraduate and graduate degrees are offered in the arts and sciences, business, education, engineering and nursing. The Schools of Dental Medicine and Pharmacy award a professional degrees in dental medicine (D.M.D.) and in pharmacy (Pharm. D.).

Traditions The Rock One of the oldest campus traditions is painting the rock, located in the Stratton Quadrangle. Student organizations, especially fraternities and sororities, have historically painted the rock with their colors and name.

The Cougar Statue The cougar statue, located at the north entrance of the Morris University Center, is a focal point for school spirit and pride and is a tribute to SIUEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s past live cougar mascots, Chimega and Kyna. A new campus tradition is having your photo taken with friends or family at the statue. Many student organizations, departments and offices have group photos taken by the cougar. Each incoming freshman class has their picture taken at the cougar statue and those pictures are hung on the first floor of Rendleman Hall.

Credit will be evaluated to determine equivalency to SIUE course work, general education requirements, whether the content meets the objectives of the general education curriculum or elective credit towards graduation hours. Appropriateness of transfer course work to major requirements is generally determined within the major department. • Credit from regionally accredited institutions appropriate to baccalaureate education of which a passing grade (D or better) was awarded will be reviewed for credit acceptance; however, some degree programs may require a higher minimum grade to satisfy graduation requirements. • If you have already earned a bachelor’s degree your general education can be considered waived. • While we do not limit the number of hours that you may transfer to the University, we do limit the number of those hours that will apply toward our degree programs.

semester hours at an accredited four-year institution, and 30 of these 60 hours must be completed at SIUE to satisfy the University residency requirements.

Paying for College FERPA Office of the Bursar Office of Student Financial Aid

FERPA Once you become a student at SIUE, you will be under a new set of laws that protect the privacy of your records. When family members call SIUE, they will not be able to gain access to the information regarding your student record. The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) was put in place to protect student records and privacy from those who might misuse the information if they obtained access. Student medical*, judicial, academic and financial records are restricted to access by you, the student, and those you approve through the signed release of information form. It is important to understand that to ensure protection of you and your family, SIUE will not release your information without your permission. There is, however, information that is considered “Directory Information” and can be released from SIUE to the public. This includes your name, date of birth, birth place, local address, telephone number, etc. In order for the University to release this information to a third party, there must be a signed consent form on file for you defining exactly who can have access to your records. For this form to be considered valid, you will need to present the form in person to the correct office, along with a photo ID. If you cannot bring it to the office in person, your signature needs to be notarized and returned to the proper office. FERPA, for many families, can be a confusing issue especially when family members need information about you. Please know that all employees at SIUE are willing help answer any questions regarding FERPA. Tips for Family Members: • Allow your student to offer information regarding their academic and college experiences themselves. This will give them ownership of their journey and allow them to see the importance of sharing the experience with you. *Please note that student medical records are protected under HIPPA regulations. For more information on these, visit siue.edu/healthservice.

My Financial Aid Appointments Advisor: Date: 31

Types of Financial Aid Scholarships: Scholarships are available to students with good academic records, financial need, talent or unique characteristics; scholarship funds do not have to be repaid. Visit siue.edu/financialaid for more information on institutional scholarships and links to free, reputable scholarship search services. Grants: Grants are normally awarded to students with significant financial need. Eligibility for state and federal grants is based on the results of the FAFSA application. Grants, like scholarships, are not repaid. Student Loans: Loans are available through the federal government to assist with educational costs. These loans are guaranteed by the federal government; therefore, no credit check will be conducted on the student. Repayment for student loans begins six months after the student leaves school or drops below part-time status. Some loans require financial need, but others are available to students with no financial need. All loans must be repaid. Federal Parent PLUS Loan: Federal PLUS loans enable parents with good credit histories to borrow for each son or daughter who is enrolled at least part-time and is a dependent student. Loans are in the parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; name and a credit check for adverse credit history is conducted. Parents can choose to defer repayment on these loans until their dependent student begins repayment on his/her student loans. Alternative Loans: Alternative loans, also called private loans, are offered by several lending institutions as an additional source of funds for higher education. These loans are not part of the federal government loan programs, but they are good options after other financial aid sources have been exhausted. Student Employment: Part-time student employment is available under both the regular student employment program and the Federal Work Study program. All student employment jobs are posted on the student employment website, siue.edu/studentemployment, under Student Job Finder.

Financial Aid Glossary Award letter: A written confirmation of financial aid being offered to a student for an academic year. Award letters are posted on CougarNet and not mailed to students. Award statement: A written estimate of financial aid sent to incoming freshmen. The award statement can be accessed on CougarNet.

Cost of attendance: Another name for a student budget. This tells students and parents, on average, how much money a student will spend during the academic year, both to the University and in the community. It includes items like gas for cars, personal expenses and school supplies. The cost of attendance also caps the amount of financial aid a student can receive in an academic year. This varies from school to school. 32

Entrance loan counseling: A federal requirement for all students who are first-time borrowers of federal Direct Loans. It explains the student’s rights and responsibilities as a borrower. Entrance loan counseling is completed online at studentloans.gov. Expected Family Contribution (EFC): EFC is the dollar amount the federal government thinks the family could contribute, if they had to, toward the student’s education. It is the result of the calculation of the information provided on the FAFSA. It is used to determine a student’s financial aid eligibility. Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA): FAFSA is the starting point for student financial aid. It is the application used to determine a student’s eligibility for federal and state grants and for federal student loans. Federal Student Employment/Federal Work Study (FWS): A need-based program in which the student works on campus and the federal government subsidizes the salary. Students must indicate on the FAFSA that they are interested in federal student employment.

Master Promissory Note (MPN): A federal requirement for students who are borrowing federal Direct Loans. The MPN is the document where the student promises, in writing, that they will repay the loan. Students are required to complete the MPN once as long as they do not change schools. The MPN is completed online at studentloans.gov. Need: Calculated by subtracting the Expected Family Contribution from the Cost of Attendance. The remaining amount is the student’s need.

Need-based aid: Federal and state grants, subsidized loans and federal student employment are all need-based aid. They are awarded to students based on the amount of “need” students have after the above subtraction. Non-need based aid: Unsubsidized student loans, parent PLUS loans and alternative student loans are all examples of non-need-based aid. Students do not have to have a “need” amount as a result of the above subtraction. Subsidized loan: Guaranteed student loan from the federal government. The federal government is subsidizing the student loan by paying the interest for the student as long as the student is enrolled at least part-time in school. The student does not make any payments on the principal of the loan until he/she has been out of school or drops below part time for six months. Unsubsidized loan: Guaranteed student loan from the federal government. The federal government is not subsidizing this loan; therefore, the student must pay the interest on this loan while he/she is in school. The student does not make any payments on the principal of the loan until he/she has been out of school or drops below part-time for six months. The student can defer the interest payments until they enter repayment on the principal. If the student chooses this option, the interest is capitalized onto the principal of the loan.

Verification: A process mandated by the federal government in which schools must verify the information on a student’s FAFSA. If the student’s FAFSA is selected for verification, students and parents will be asked to verify information on the FAFSA by submitting an Institutional Verification Form and will be asked to submit an IRS Tax Return Transcript and all W-2s for the base year. 33

You will not find that complaint at SIUE. Textbook Service is a rental service to undergraduate students covered through student fees. Your only job is to bring your Cougar ID card and a backpack to pick up your books. What qualifies students to use the service? All undergraduate students are assessed a Textbook Service fee based on the number of semester hours of enrollment. Does the system save students money?

Can students purchase texts at a discount? Undergraduate students never pay more than cost when purchasing textbooks from Textbook Service and receive an additional discount when texts have been in use for more than one year. There is a discount period during the last three weeks of the term when texts are discounted 30 percent of retail price if in use for more than one year and 40 percent if used more than two years. Excess, discontinued textbooks are sold for a dollar each at various times throughout the year during our “Dollar Book Sale.” Where is Textbook Service? TBS is located at the rear of parking lot P4 on the lower level of 200 University Park Drive building. Students who are driving must park in Parking Lot P4. Lot P4 is located on University Drive.
