No official University records of your classwork or attendance will be kept; therefore, it will not be possible to obtain a transcript of Educard classes. As an Educard participant, you do not pay normal student welfare and activity fees, so you may not participate in student services and activities supported by those fees. Some examples are: Health Service, Counseling and Testing Center, Placement Services, Cougar Lake Recreation Facilities, Vadalabene Center, and other athletic facilities.

$35

per course No more than three courses may be taken through Educard in any one semester.

Our mission is to connect communities with the students and faculty of SIUE. After a successful pilot year, we have identified the City of Alton as our SSCC partner for the 2018-2019 academic year. This year’s projects involve generating ideas for a marketing and branding concept, identifying existing and perceived barriers to business development, and developing a GIS surface management plan.
