The Summer Schedule

Welcome to EIU!

If you’re visiting for a summer registration day, feel free to stop by the Newman Center to take a peek at our chapel and meet our staff. Please fill out the student registration so we can connect with you in August. We are excited to be your faith community on campus!

New & Incoming Students

Newman offers a scholarship for up to $3,000 granted at $500 per semester for 3 years through our Catholic Scholars Program. Students can receive theological formation, transferable as university course credit, and earn some money. While the program is 6 courses total, it is flexible to fit your schedule as classes rotate each semester. Learn more through the button below or call the office.
