Helpful Tips
The tips below will help your move-in experience go a bit more smoothly and help you more easily acclimate to campus life. The biggest tip for our residents is to read the material provided and ask questions if you're unsure of the answers. We're here to help!
Parking
You will need to get a parking decal from the SIU Parking Division. Be sure to park only in lots for which you have a decal to avoid receiving a ticket or being towed. The Parking Division provides a parking map online that shows lots and required decals.
Wall & Grand Apartments
A special decal is required for on-site parking at Wall & Grand. Please discuss your options with the Parking Division.
Evergreen Terrace
Once you have your campus parking decal, you will need to go to the Evergreen Terrace Area Office to request an Evergreen Terrace parking decal. Evergreen Terrace parking decal restrictions and guidelines are located in the Resident Handbook.
Student ID Cards
The ID Card office is located in the Student Center and is open Monday - Friday, 8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Lost cards should be reported by logging into SalukiNet or by calling the ID Card Office at 618-536-3351.
