COVID-19 Update
As the challenges associated with COVID-19 evolve, we want to keep you informed of the efforts SIU is taking to protect the health and welfare of our campus community and guests. As part of the ongoing efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19, SIU has suspended in-person instruction and on-campus learning. Additionally, we have suspended all University-sponsored events with 10 or more attendees effective immediately.
SIU’s Office of Undergraduate Admissions remains dedicated to supporting students through the admission process.
Effective immediately, the Office of Undergraduate Admissions has suspended on-campus tours and visit programs; however, our staff is available and ready to answer questions. Email us at admissions@siu.edu or email one of our Admissions Coordinators directly.
Thank you for your understanding and patience during this time. For more information about the proactive precautions SIU is taking amid the global COVID-19 pandemic, visit shc.siu.edu/coronavirus/.

Open House
Open House programs are all about giving you the full Saluki experience. You can go on a campus tour, meet with people from Admissions, Financial Aid, and University Housing, sit in on info sessions; and browse our information fair with representatives from all academic departments and student support programs. Be part of our next open house experience.
Daily Visits
Monday through Friday visits are great for new and transfer students who are serious about attending Southern Illinois University. You’ll talk to an admissions counselor, take a campus and residence hall tour with a current student, and have an opportunity to meet with a representative in your academic area of interest. It is important to register well before the day you want to visit, since these appointments are scheduled based on your interests.
