It is imperative for each student to complete Course Request Forms for each semester. Please type the needed information in the fill-in form, print, sign and return it to the PAPA office by email, fax, mail or hand delivery. Please first save the form to your computer, then fill out the form and email the completed form as an attachment to mpaprogram@siue.edu. It takes approximately two weeks to process these forms. Completing these forms DOES NOT guarantee placement within the specified classes!
After filling out the pdf form please save it onto your computer, then send the form as an attachment to mpaprogram@siue.edu.
