Student Center
The Student Center covers over eight acres of floor space, however it is more than
just a building. The programs and services offered provide for the social and academic development of our students. In addition, the Student Center serves as a unifying force, bringing together the campus and the community. It is an organization and a program, which work together to form a foundation for university life.
Four important missions guide the Student Center in providing services and programs for the University and the community. It provides support services, which compliment the academic mission of the University through the bookstore, information services, food service and meeting facilities. It is a laboratory for learning. The Student Center is an extension of the classroom allowing practicum students, graduate assistants and interns the opportunity to develop on-the-job experience in their fields of learning. It is a focal point to which alumni and students can relate when returning to campus.
The Student Center meets the needs of the students by providing services that are both convenient and practical, including multiple dining locations featuring name brand concepts like McDonald's, Chik-fil-A, and Starbucks; ATM stations; Western Union receiving station; ID cards; Debit Dawg program; e-mail checking stations; wireless internet and much more. SIU apparel, textbooks, greeting cards and other items can be purchased at University Bookstore. Laptop computers can be checked out at the Information Center on the first floor of the Student Center. This service is available to all full-time students at no cost as long as the computer is not damaged, stolen or lost. The computers can be checked out for two-hour periods and are available on a first come – first served basis. Students and visitors can also send or receive domestic or international faxes at the Information Station. For more details, call or visit the Information Center.
