Self Service Registration Guide
New Students
New students will need to have claimed their Network ID at http://netid.siu.edu before they can log into Salukinet. Here is our guide on how to claim your Network ID:

We also have a Salukinet tutorial here:

If you have not registered for classes you will not have an email address. To sign into http://salukinet.siu.edu you will need to use your network ID with @siu.edu at the end.
Example: New student with a Dawgtag of 850000000 would have a network ID of SIU850000000, so they would sign into salukinet using siu850000000@siu.edu
How to Register for a Class
Visit http://salukinet.siu.edu , search for “register for classes” and select the first option or click on the “Register For Classes” Task.
After clicking “Register For Classes” you will be taken to the student registration page. Here you will click “Register for Classes”
After selecting Register for Classes on the Registration menu page, you will need to view the “Registration User Agreement”. Next, choose the appropriate term and click Continue.
You may encounter a request for your Registration User Number or an alert about Holds preventing registration:
• Registration User Number (RUN) – This is obtained from your advisor. Graduate students needing a RUN should contact the the director of their program. You can learn more about RUN here: https://registrar.siu.edu/students/runnum.php
• Holds
1) If you see alert messages, you will have to click “OK”, then select the gold square in the upper right corner and then click “OK” again until all of the alert messages have been cleared. At that point, you can go back to the main page of Registration. For more information about holds, please see here: https://registrar.siu.edu/luminis/holdshelp.php
On the Registration page select Prepare for Registration to view your complete registration status. Here you will find holds on your account, student standing, earned hours and primary
curriculum. Contact your advisor if you have questions about this information. Certain holds will list the department and phone number to contact in order to resolve the hold.
Once on the Register for Classes page, you can add a course to your schedule (“Summary”) in three different ways: a) Find Classes, b) Enter CRNs, and c) Plans. If your course has variable hours, is waitlisted, or if you receive a registration error message, please see the sections below titled as such.
a) Find Classes
1) Search for courses by subject, keyword or other attributes listed under “Advanced Search”.
2) Select Add to include the course in your schedule summary.
3) Click Submit to register for the course.
4) Confirmation message, “Save Successful” will display in the upper right and Status indicates “Registered” for the added course.
b) Enter CRNs – Another option is to enter the Course Request Number directly in the Enter CRNs tab and select Add to Summary.
c) Plans – If you have saved a “Plan” (in the Plan Ahead page) you may add courses directly from the Plans tab by clicking on the Add button listed for courses that already have a specific section saved. If the Add option is not present you will need to select View Sections to choose a section and add it to your Summary. After adding, select “Submit” in the lower right corner.
