Admission Requirements

Visiting students are not eligible to receive financial aid. However, if a visiting student is pursuing a degree at another postsecondary institution, the student may be eligible for VA benefits or student employment. Students wishing to apply for student employment or to receive VA benefits need to submit appropriate documentation confirming their degree-seeking status at a parent institution.

Students in visiting status may not accumulate more than 30 semester hours at SIUE. If a student has accumulated 30 semester hours of credit and wishes to continue enrollment at SIUE, they must apply to SIUE as a degree-seeking student and satisfy appropriate criteria. Continued enrollment will not be permitted until the student satisfies admission criteria or appeals to the director of admissions.

Applicants previously denied admission in degree-seeking categories are not admissible as visiting students.
