Student Success Center
In recognition that people learn in a variety of ways and that
learning is influenced by multiple factors (e.g., prior experience, study
skills, learning disability), resources to support student success are available
on campus. The Student Success Center assists students with academic and career
related services, is located in the Busch Student Center (Suite, 331) and the
School of Nursing (Suite, 114). Students can visit www.slu.edu/success to learn
more about:
· Course-level support (e.g., faculty member, departmental
resources, etc.) by asking your course instructor.
· University-level support (e.g., tutoring services, university
writing services, disability services, academic coaching, career services,
and/or facets of curriculum planning).
Disability Services Academic Accommodations
Students with a documented disability who wish to request
academic accommodations must contact Disability Services to discuss
accommodation requests and eligibility requirements. Once successfully
registered, the student also must notify the course instructor that they
wish to access accommodations in the course.
Please contact Disability Services, located within the Student
Success Center, at Disability_services@slu.edu or 314.977.3484 to
schedule an appointment. Confidentiality will be observed in all inquiries.
Once approved, information about the student’s eligibility for academic
accommodations will be shared with course instructors via email from Disability
Services and viewed within Banner via the instructor’s course roster.
Note: Students who do not have a documented disability but who
think they may have one are encouraged to contact to Disability Services.
Title IX
Saint Louis University and its faculty are committed to
supporting our students and seeking an environment that is free of bias, discrimination,
and harassment. If you have encountered any form of sexual misconduct (e.g.
sexual assault, sexual harassment, stalking, domestic or dating violence), we
encourage you to report this to the University. If you speak with a faculty
member about an incident of misconduct, that faculty member must notify SLU’s
Title IX coordinator, Anna R. Kratky (DuBourg Hall,
room 36;akratky@slu.edu; 314-977-3886) and share
the basic facts of your experience with her. The Title IX
coordinator will then be available to assist you in understanding all of your
options and in connecting you with all possible resources on and off campus.
If you wish to speak with a confidential source, you may contact
the counselors at the University Counseling Center at 314-977-TALK. To view
SLU’s sexual misconduct policy and for resources, please visit the following

Academic Integrity
Academic integrity is honest, truthful and responsible conduct
in all academic endeavors. The mission of Saint Louis
University is "the pursuit of truth for the greater glory of God and for
the service of humanity." Accordingly, all acts of falsehood demean
and compromise the corporate endeavors of teaching, research, health care, and
community service via which SLU embodies its mission. The University strives to
prepare students for lives of personal and professional integrity, and therefore
regards all breaches of academic integrity as matters of serious
concern.
The governing
University-level Academic Integrity Policy was adopted in Spring
2015, and can be accessed on the Provost's Office website at:http://www.slu.edu/Documents/provost/academic_affairs/University-wide%20Academic%20Integrity%20Policy%20FINAL%20%206-26-15.pdf.
Additionally, each SLU College, School, and Center has adopted
its own academic integrity policies, available on their respective
websites. All SLU students are expected to know and abide by these
policies, which detail definitions of violations, processes for reporting violations,
sanctions, and appeals. Please direct questions about any facet
of academic integrity to your faculty, the chair of the
department of your academic program, or the Dean/Director of the
College, School or Center in which your program is housed.
