To obtain a list of courses being taught at SIU School of Medicine in a given term, select Student Records>Course Catalog Search 

Be sure the Term is correctly.  (i.e. Term 2018 = AY 2017-2018).  You must select a Catalog (i.e. 2017-18). If you select only the catalog, this gives you a complete list of all classes taught by SIU.   
Please note: This list will contain Extramural (OC)/Individually Designed Electives (IDE) which will contain no “Detail” information as these courses are not offered to every student. 

Catalog information is also public, therefore it can be accessed without being signed into Empower. 

Choose Student Records > Elective Scheduling Request

This will take you to the registration login screen.  You will not be able to proceed unless there is active open registration.  During open registration:  Choose the Catalog from the drop down list and press Continue.  A complete course list will populate and you may begin registering for courses. 

A degree audit allows you to see the courses you have taken and how they fulfill graduation requirements.  You can access your degree audit by selecting, Student Records> >Degree Audit/Degree Audit Summary. 

Click on Degree Audit/Summary button to view your degree audit. Even though there is a printable version, please do not print this report as it will be 18 or more pages long!

Please note:  The Degree Audit feature will always say a student is not meeting requirements.  This is due to system limitations and our unique graduation requirements.
