Southern Illinois University Edwardsville will open registration for the 2026 summer and fall terms later this month.
For incoming, visiting, and current students looking to lighten their fall course load, stay on track for graduation, or explore new subjects, SIUE's Summer Session offers more than 850 credit-bearing courses designed to help students reach their academic goals. Many courses meet for five weeks or less, leaving plenty of time for other summer plans. Summer Session registration opens for all students on Thursday, March 26.
To register and learn more about SIUE's Summer Session, visit siue.edu/summer.
Fall registration will roll out by class level beginning Monday, March 30, and continue into early April. Registration opens for all students, including visiting students, on Thursday, April 9. Registration begins each day at 10 a.m. For complete registration information, visit siue.edu/register.
"Registering early provides current students with the best opportunities to build a schedule that supports their goals and keeps them on track," said Patrick Sears, MPA, registrar. "By meeting with their academic advisors, students can make informed decisions and move into the next term feeling confident and prepared."
Graduate students should contact their graduate program advisor for guidance on registration.
"Early registration positions students for a strong start," said Kevin Wathen, interim vice chancellor for enrollment management. "Securing classes when registration opens helps students stay on track for graduation, avoid unnecessary stress, and build a schedule that supports their academic and personal commitments."
