Military Programs
Student Information
Important Documents:
Each year, an Undergraduate Catalog, which provides information about Southern Illinois University Carbondale, is published. Primary attention is given to its academic programs, rules and regulations and procedures. In addition, a Military Programs Supplement that addresses the conduct of programs at military bases in the United States is published.
These documents are available in the SIUC office. Students should become familiar with their contents. For your convenience, several sections of these documents are reproduced here.
Student Conduct Code:
Southern Illinois
University Carbondale is dedicated not only to learning, research, and the
advancement of knowledge, but also to the development of ethically sensitive
and responsible persons. The University seeks
to achieve these goals through sound educational programs and policies
governing individual conduct that encourage independence and maturity. By accepting membership in this University,
and individual joins a community characterized by free expression, free
inquiry, intellectual honesty, respect for others, and participation in
constructive change. All rights and
responsibilities exercised within this academic environment shall be compatible
with these principles. The entire SIUC Student Conduct Code is available to
each student upon request or at www.siu.edu/~docedit/policies/conduct.html.
Attendance Policy:
Students may not miss more than one-third of the scheduled class time for courses conducted in the weekend format. (Faculty may set a more restrictive policy.) Students who are dropped are still subject to the published refund policy. Exceptions to this attendance policy must be approved by the Dean, College of Engineering.
Transfer Credits:
The Office of Admissions and Records determines the acceptance of credit and its applicability toward University Core Curriculum requirements. The department directing the program determines the acceptance of credit toward specific program requirements. Transfer credit is accepted in all areas to include the major. (See Undergraduate Catalog)
Professional Certification:
No attempt has been made to modify SIUC programs to meet professional certification or licensure requirements of any state. Students interested in professional certification of licensure should contact the appropriate state agency for specific information concerning certification or licensure.
Payment:
Payment is the responsibility of the student. SIUC will assist the student wherever possible to process the paperwork for the various financial assistance programs; however, the responsibility for payment rests with the student. (See Military Programs Supplement.) http://www.siu.edu/~military/page3.htm
Collection Agencies:
Following the end of each semester, students not registered for the next semester who have delinquent account balances will receive a series of itemized statements requesting payment. If payment arrangements are not made on a timely basis, the account may be placed with a collection agency with a collection fee added to the account. Should it be necessary for an outside agency to effect a collection, reasonable collection costs shall be 33 1/3% of such amount and shall be paid by debtor. If SIUC obtains judgment from a court of competent jurisdiction, the debtor shall be liable for the collection agency fee as well as reasonable costs and attorney’s fees. (See Military Programs Supplement.)
Standards of Progress:
Students are expected to
make satisfactory progress toward a degree.
When a student’s semester average and the cumulative SIUC average fall below a C average (2.0), the student will be placed on scholastic probation.
Students will be scholastically suspended from SIUC if they fail to meet the requirements of their conditional or probational status.
Withdrawals:
Students who decide not to
attend after registration must officially withdraw or be liable for payment of
semester hour charges.
Students who officially register for a session may not withdraw merely by discontinuing attendance. Students officially withdraw from courses through the program change process, using the registration form. This process starts with the program representative and is completed by the Office of Admissions and Records. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that the withdrawal process is officially completed. Students who fail to withdraw will receive a grade of WF. (See Military Programs Supplement.)
Warning:
To be eligible for the benefits of valid financial aid, the student must first be properly enrolled for at least the minimum number of semester hours for the term, and must continue to be reasonably participating for the full duration of each course. Students with financial aid who cease attending a class and do not officially drop or withdraw, may be assigned a “WF” (undergraduate) or “WU” (graduates). The “WF” or “WU” grades may impact the student’s eligibility for, or amount of financial aid for the semester; and, may result in a demand for re-payment of part or even all of the financial aid paid for the semester.
Information about scholarships and grants may be obtained from Financial Aid (http://www.siuc.edu/~fao/).
Refund Policy:
For Students Who Withdraw: Students who officially withdraw form the University (drop all courses) will receive refunds according to the following deadline schedule:

WHAT IS A SALUKI???
The Saluki, “El Hor”, royal dog of Egypt, is the oldest known breed of domesticated dog, with findings of Saluki images dating as far back as 6000 – 7000 BC. Whenever one sees the ‘dog’ in the Bible, it means Saluki.
The Saluki was the only dog of the time allowed to sleep on the carpet of the Sheik’s tent. So great was its esteem that its body was often mummified like the bodies of the Pharaohs. The remains of numerous specimens have been found in the ancient tombs of the upper Nile.
Salukis
were first brought to England in 1840 and were referred to as Persian
Greyhounds. The Saluki was a
well-established breed in England for a number of years before it began to come
into its own in this country. It was not
until November 1927 that the breed was officially recognized by the American
Kennel Club. In July 1927, the Saluki
Club of America was formed and drew up the breed standards for the Saluki.
Having
tremendous speed, the Saluki was used by the Arabs in brining down the gazelle,
the fastest antelopes. The Saluki’s
sight is remarkable, although it also has a fair nose. Its hereditary traits often crop out – it
loves to lie on the sand and watch an eagle soar while paying no attention to
the gull.
The
Saluki has an exceptionally strong constitution and sturdy frame, enabling it
to stand any climate. Its feet are hard
and firms, allowing it to run over rocky, tough ground and never damage its
pads.
Its
beauty is that of the thoroughbred horse; grace and symmetry of form; clean-cut
and graceful; short silky hair except on the ears, legs, and tail; slender,
well muscled neck, shoulders, and thighs; arched loins; long tail carried in a
curve with silky hair hanging from the underside; the arched toes; the rather
long head with deep, farseeing eyes - - an expression of dignity mixed with
gentleness. In disposition, it shows
great attachment to its master. It is
affectionate without being demonstrative, a good watchdog, but not aggressive.
Salukis
come in a variety of colors, including white, cream, fawn, golden, red, grizzle
and tan, tri-color (white, black and tan), and black and tan.
Southern
Illinois University adopted the Saluki as its mascot in 1951. The choice is quite appropriate since the
southern portion of Illinois is known as “Little Egypt”, apparently because
when drought struck the northern parts of the state, southern Illinois remained
as fertile as ever, just as Egypt did in the days of old. Southern Illinois University at present has
three (3) Salukis housed on the University Farms.
