We plan to provide you with a welcoming and stress-free transition. SIUE is a fully accredited public institution offering innovative academic programs, outstanding faculty, ground-breaking research opportunities and a supportive learning environment — everything you need to prepare for the challenges of today’s competitive work force and graduate school. With nearly 40 percent of our new students from other institutions, you are a vital part of the campus community.

In addition, we provide: • NCAA Division I initial, transfer and continuing eligibility certification for all student athletes • MILITARY Credit – Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marines and Navy service men and women, submit your military transcript for evaluation of credit. (Joint Service Transcript (JST), Community College of the Air Force (CCAF) and Dantes/DSST credit.)

• AP/CLEP Credit review (see undergraduate catalog criteria) Transfer Credit Evaluations are provided by the Transfer Center within 15 working days after admission or receipt of additional course work.
