The Rave Mobile Alert System

RAVE is used to send emergency text

messages to cellphones and to cam-

pus email addresses of students, fac-

ulty and staff. The message may alert

you to an emergency situation, in-

cluding university closures and safe-

ty alerts. The system provides weath-

er warnings, including severe thun-

derstorm, tornado, flash flood, and

winter storm.

To receive emergency text messages,

students must have current contact

information in SalukiNet.

The SIU Department of Public Safety is comprised of 40 sworn officers, 6 telecom-

municators, 2 full-time parking agents, and administrative staff. SIU police offic-

ers obtain their authority from the U.S. Constitution, the Illinois Constitution,

and Illinois statutes. All police officers are conservators of the peace and have all

powers possessed by police in cities and counties. All officers are sworn through

the State of Illinois Law Enforcement Training and

Standards Board giving them power to enforce state

statutes, university rules and regulations, and city or

county ordinances, including making arrests. SIU

police officers may exercise this authority within

counties wherein the university or any of its branch-

es or properties are located.

Whether you are one of those students or not, remember if you are drunk and alone, you could be an easy target. To ensure

PARKING ONLINE SIU Parking Decals are now available for purchase online. Please visit park-

ing.siu.edu for more information.

To buy a decal, you will need to know your vehicle information, including

make, model, color, and VIN number. Once a payment is made, a temporary

decal will be available to print and your annual decal will be mailed directly.

Parking decals will

still be available for

purchase in the Park-

ing Division office.

The Parking Division

strongly encourages

everyone to utilize the

online system.

WHERE SHOULD I PARK?

With the addition of Lot 11 over the summer, the Parking Division has added

155 new parking spots. Lot 11 is located across from the Student Services

Building and is accessed through Lot 13B. The addition of Lot 11 has brought

changes regarding who can park in certain parking lots in the area. Lots 13A,

10A, and 10B will be blue decal only lots. Lots 13B and 11 will be red decal

lots. Blue decal holders may park in red decal parking lots, but red decal

holders can only park in red decal lots. Parking lot signs are in the process of

being created and installed.

SIU is now a smoke

-free campus!
