Academic
Counseling and Advising
Students confer at least once each
term with an academic adviser, who provides advice regarding appropriate
courses, career options, and related matters. Advising is mandatory for all
students prior to registration each term. For more information, please refer to
the section on Students confer at least once each term with an academic
adviser, who provides advice regarding appropriate courses, career options, and
related matters. Advising is mandatory for all students prior to registration
each term. For additional information, please refer to the section on
Registration.
Academic advisers are located in Peck Hall, room 1315.
Appointments for undecided and undeclared students are necessary and may be
made by calling (618) 650-3701.
Bursar
The Office of the Bursar, located on
the first floor of Rendleman Hall, provides a variety of services to students.
Students paying their tuition and fees, housing and other University charges by
check are strongly encouraged to send in their payments via mail. Payments by
credit card may be made via the Internet.
The Bursar also mails all refund checks, disburses student
paychecks, and provides check-cashing services. SIUE student long distance
telephone payments should be received by the Bursar’s Office by 3:30 p.m.
on the bill due date. For more information about available services, view our
web page at www.siue.edu/BURSAR, call (618) 650-3123, or e-mail

Financial Responsibility
Students at SIUE will incur certain financial obligations. Although they may be
eligible for various forms of financial aid, the final responsibility for those
financial obligations will be the student’s. The University has developed
an installment payment plan designed to make payment of tuition, fees, and
other charges as convenient as possible. Failure to meet financial obligations
will have serious consequences. In addition to being assessed service charges
on past-due amounts, students with a past-due debt to the University will not
be issued transcripts or diplomas. Continued failure to pay a past-due debt may
result in the debt being referred to a collection agency. In that event,
collection costs will be added to the student’s account.

required to purchase permits from Parking Services in order to use parking
spaces for persons with disabilities on University property. A verification
process to ensure that the requester and the person to whom the parking
card/license plate has been issued are one and the same will be conducted. For
short-term problems, temporary disability permits may be issued. Certification
by the University’s Health Service is a prerequisite to receive a
temporary disability permit. A current SIU Edwardsville permit is also
required. A temporary disability permit does not authorize an individual to
park in a space for the disabled, however. Rather, Health Service and Parking
Services work together to provide these individuals with closer, more
convenient parking.

University Museum/Gallery
It was the
intention of the founders of this university that works of art should be a part
of everyone's daily experience on campus and it is a goal of the Museum to make
this dream a reality. The University Museum is responsible for the care and
display of SIUE's extensive collection of cultural objects. These are presented
throughout the campus in a series of permanent and temporary exhibitions
designed to reflect the creative diversity of the people and cultures of the
world. Included in the collections are objects from Pre-Columbian, Native
American, African, Oceanic, Oriental, Greek, Roman, and Egyptian cultures as
well as works by contemporary artists.
Among the most interesting collections is the Louis H. Sullivan
Architectural Ornament Collection which includes fragments from many of the
best buildings by this noted American architect as well as objects from
buildings by many of his contemporaries and students including Frank Lloyd
Wright. These pieces are displayed primarily in the gallery on the second floor
of Lovejoy Library in the southeast corner and in the basement hallway of
Alumni Hall.
In addition to the objects presented throughout the campus, the
Museum, in cooperation with the Morris University Center, presents an annual
series of temporary exhibitions in the Art Gallery on the second floor of the
Center. The Museum also makes objects from the collections available for
classroom use by University faculty members and for use by area school teachers
and educators.
