Registration

Only those students who have been officially admitted by the Graduate School will be permitted to register.

To begin the registration process, a student needs a network ID and a password. To claim your Dawg Tag, go to netid.siu.edu. SIU email will be generated for new students within 24-28 hours after the first registration. If a student is not yet admitted to the Graduate School or does not have graduate program approval to register, or if there is some other problem, the student is ineligible to register.

Degree-seeking students may be required by their department to see an advisor and obtain a Registration User Number (RUN) to register online. Please consult the designated major department about advisement. Nondeclared, non-degree students are technically self-advised and may begin registration for the admitted semester after the registration period begins.

View the Schedule of Classes for a particular semester. The Registration dates, Course Drop (with full refund) dates, and Course Withdrawal (with W grade) dates are listed for every course.

Students can register themselves (via SalukiNet) for full-semester courses through the first week of the semester, and for late-starting courses up to the first day of the course. All adds sent to the Graduate Registration Office must be signed by the Director of Graduate Studies and the Academic Dean before the request will be processed. A CRF for a section change or to change a student’s previously completed registration in a course to an audit (AU) can be processed through the 2nd week of the semester.

Students can drop a full-semester course with a refund in SalukiNet through the second week of the semester and can withdraw from a course with a W grade themselves through the 10th week; afterward, a Petition for Exception to Course Drop and Semester Withdrawal Deadline, can be submitted to request a course be dropped.

A CRF is required when a student with a registration hold needs to drop a course. A CRF is also used for an administrative drop initiated by the instructor or program when a student is determined not to be eligible to be in a course. The CRF must be signed by the Director of Graduate Studies before it can be processed. View the Course Request Form (CRF) 

Late Registration at the Graduate School

 Late registrations will no longer be allowed beyond the second week of the term. In cases of genuine exceptions that arise, these exceptions will be reviewed rigorously and require approval from the Academic Dean, the Graduate School Dean, and the Provost. To request an exception, the signed CRF and a memo explaining why the add is being requested after the deadline must be submitted to the Graduate Registration Office. After both documents have been received, they will be forwarded to the Graduate School Dean and the Provost for final review.

 A late registration fee of $15 shall be assessed to all students taking on-campus classes who register after the semester has begun. This fee shall be non-refundable and non-waivable, except when it is clearly shown that the late registration was caused by faculty or administrative action. Off-campus classes and registration in 599, 600, and 601 shall be exempt from such fee.
