Please Note: SIU Carbondale has a preferred application deadline of Dec. 1 for applicants. Any applications received after May 1 will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Freshman students wishing to apply for the next Spring semester are encouraged to apply for admission and submit supporting documents by December 1. If you prefer, you can download the printable application.
No ACT/SAT Required!
At SIU, we know that the best indicator of college success is how hard you worked in high school, not how well you scored on a test.
That’s why we no longer require submission of SAT or ACT scores for students with a high school GPA of 2.75 or above.
Additional Materials
Some programs require you to submit materials in addition to the freshman application checklist or transfer requirements.
