Spring Fees appearing on Bursar Statements

January 7, 2010: Spring Semester 2010 Fees will appear on your next billing statement. The fees are currently posted to Bursar accounts and can be viewed on Salukinet. The billing was not submitted before the December billing was processed and therefore did not appear on most of the statements. The fees will appear as "CCAP Fees". If you have any questions please contact Ruth O'Rourke at rorourke@siu.edu or (618)453-6161

Billing For the Spring Semester

Some of you have already received your bills for the Spring Semester. Do not be alarmed if you do not see the Achieve Program fees on your bill. The earliest that Program fees will show up on your bill will be on the February statement. However, if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call or email us.

We hope the New Year brings success to you and yours!

FINALS!

This is crunch time for the students. The Achieve computer lab is open extended hours. Make appointments with staff now so they will be available for you. Make sure to talk to Suzy if there any test proctoring issues.

I'd like to give a shout out to my friend and Achieve member, Garth Rubin, who works at Northern Illinois University at the school's disability office. Garth is on the right.

Happy Thanksgiving!

For students, this is a time to catch up, or take one last breath before charging back into the fray. Classes resume on Monday the 30th. Even though finals will only be two weeks away, there is still time for students who are struggling to come in, buckle down, and make a difference.

Next week: Pictures from the event in LaGrange, Illinois, and a reader poll!

College Fairs and Old Friends...

Recently, I represented Achieve at the Brehm Preparatory School College Fair, and had a chance to visit with Julia Shaw, an Achieve graduate supervisor alumni, who is now a coordinator at the REACH program in Iowa.





The University is hosting an Open House on November 7th, at which we will have a table. Next, I will be in the LaGrange area for a college fair on November 19th.

2009 Family Weekend

On October 24th, Achieve hosted a Tailgate at the Family Weekend event at SIUC. Over a hundred people joined us for terrific barbecue from 17th Street. Thank you to all who attended, old friends and new. Thank you also to the parents who helped us put on this wonderful event.

Last Minute Details....

Before the tailgate tomorrow....

Roger will have tickets at the Achieve Program tent. So, parents, if you needed tickets, you can still get some from him. We will have barbecue, side dishes, chips and drinks. Please come on by!
