Unable to Access MyFuture Portal

Overview

The MyFuture portal is used by prospective and current students to apply for admission and register for orientation. Accounts created in MyFuture are sometimes confused with SIU Network ID accounts (especially when a university email address is used as the login name).

It’s important to note that myfuture.siu.edu accounts are separate from your SIU Network ID (used for email, SalukiNet, Microsoft 365, etc.).

General Account Information

• MyFuture uses its own username and password
• Changing your password from the MyFuture portal does not change your SIU Network ID password
• Changing your SIU Network ID password does not change your myfuture password

I tried to reset my password at myfuture.siu.edu but it says “No account exists”

This usually means the information entered does not exactly match what was provided when the account was originally created.

• Double‑check your name, email address, and other details
• The system pulls information directly from the original account setup

If you’re still unable to reset your password—or no longer have access to the email address used for the account—you will need to create a new MyFuture account using a different email address. You may also contact the contact the SIU Admissions Office at 618‑536‑4405 for assistance.

I Reset My Password, but Still Can’t Log In

If you reset your password at netid.siu.edu, that will not update your myfuture.siu.edu password.

Make sure you used the “Forgot your password?” option on the myfuture.siu.edu login page, not the SIU Network ID site.

If problems continue, contact the Admissions Office at 618‑536‑4405.
