Main Content
In response to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, SIUC has made two important changes to our application procedures.
- SIU will now accept undergraduate application materials via email for admission purposes. You will receive rapid admission decisions by emailing your transcripts, passport, and English proficiency test scores to our admissions office at both of the following addresses: deponai@siu.edu and issinfo@siu.edu. Please note that issuance of immigration documents (such as your Form I-20) may be delayed until we receive your financial statement. Please direct any questions to Michael Deponai at 618-453-7663 or by email at deponai@siu.edu.
- For international students affected by testing center closures, SIUC has approved the use of the Duolingo English Test for demonstrating English proficiency. A minimum score of 95 (undergraduate) or 105 (graduate) on a Duolingo English test taken between January 1 and August 17, 2020 will fulfill English proficiency requirements for most programs. Visit english https://englishtest.duolingo.com/applicants for more information.
