Registration
Whether you’re a new student ready to take the first step in your college journey, or a returning student taking additional coursework, you’ll find all of the resources below to get you started for the 2024-2025 academic year.
Students are encouraged to treat this experience as the first step in becoming a college-ready student, by registering independently, with the support of an instructor, parent or guardian.
As a 1818 student, it is your responsibility to:
- Inform your parent/guardian of your participation in the 1818 Program.
- Understand the policies for unenrolling from 1818 coursework.
- Keep track of your login information for 1818 accounts.
- Understand the credit transfer process.
All information regarding payment, registration and other deadlines will be communicated via email to all contacts listed on the student’s registration form. If you are a family member that would like to receive information about your student’s involvement in the program, please be sure your contact information is provided when registering.
Registration for the fall 2024 term is now closed. Registration for spring 2025 coursework opens on January 20, 2025.
Important Information
Please take a moment to review all information below before registering.
Please review our academic calendar to view our registration, payment, and drop/withdraw deadlines.
Once the student has completed their application, and the high school has confirmed the student's GPA, parents will receive an emailed consent form from DualEnroll.com. Parent approval is due by the close of registration. Any student with an application missing a signed parent consent form after the registration period will be dropped from their 1818 classes and will not be eligible to receive credit that term.
To ensure students are enrolled in appropriate level coursework, students with a Sophomore, Junior, or Senior standing must meet certain GPA requirements.
- Juniors and Seniors must have a minimum 3.0 GPA on a 4.0 cumulative weighted scale and electronic approval of the 1818 course instructor or 1818 partner coordinator. Juniors and seniors who have achieved an average 3.0 weighted GPA in the previous 2 semesters may be an exception.
-
Sophomores are eligible to enroll in 1818 courses in certain circumstances, to include sequenced 1818 courses in mathematics (college algebra, pre-calculus, calculus I, calculus II, calculus III), foreign languages (courses numbered 1010 or above) and computer science. Sophomores may be approved by 1818 partners to enroll if the students have:
-
a minimum 3.5 GPA on a 4.0 cumulative weighted scale and
-
completed the pre-requisite course(s) with a grade(s) of B or higher and
electronic approval of the 1818 course instructor, 1818 coordinator and parent/guardian
-
- Freshmen are not eligible to enroll in 1818 courses. There are no exceptions to this policy.
Students who wish to enroll in 1818 courses may enroll in a maximum of 11 credit hours per semester. For yearlong classes, the credit bearing will be split between the fall and spring semester. For example, a 3-credit-hour yearlong course will be considered 1.5 credit hours in the fall semester and 1.5 credit hours in the spring semester.
The 1818 Program offers three different term offerings. High schools may offer any combination of yearlong and semester-long courses depending on the type of course offered and desired duration of courses.
- Yearlong courses are offered during the entirety of the academic year, typically from September to May and equate to one course (3 credit hours for a standard course).
- Fall courses are offered in the fall term, typically from September to December and equate to one course (3 credit hours for a standard course).
- Spring courses are offered in the spring term, typically from January to May and equate to one course (3 credit hours for a standard course).
Please see our academic calendar for our corresponding registration, payment, and grading deadlines for each term duration. Students who miss the registration period are ineligible to receive 1818 credit.
At the close of the registration period, billing statements are mailed to the student's home address and sent via email to all contacts provided on the student's application. For the fall semester, this usually happens in October, and for the spring semester, in March. Families are advised not to submit payment until they have received an official bill. All payments are due by the end of the semester.
Student's may unenroll from 1818 coursework by dropping or withdrawing from their coursework by our given deadlines.
To drop a 1818 course, or completely remove it from your Saint Louis University transcript, please log into your DualEnroll account and 'abandon' any courses you no longer wish to take. You will not owe a balance for any dropped courses. All drops must be made before the drop deadline.
To withdraw from an 1818 course, or unenroll and receive a status of "W" instead of a grade, please email 1818@slu.edu with your name and courses you'd like to withdraw from. Withdrawing from a course can have a neutral or negative impact on your college admissions depending on the university you apply to. Receiving a "W" is always better than receiving a failing grade. Students who withdraw are still be responsible for paying for their coursework. All withdrawals must be requested before the withdraw deadline.
Students who do not drop or withdraw by the given deadlines will receive the grade they've earned in their course on their official Saint Louis University transcript.
FERPA — or the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 — is a federal law giving certain rights to parents and students regarding education records at schools of every level receiving funding from the U.S. Department of Education.
It should be noted that at the university level, the rights afforded by FERPA belong, in general, to the student rather than the parent. Saint Louis University can only share certain student information with parents if the student has provided consent on their application form, and the parent’s contact information is listed.
Why Do We Need Your Social Security Number?
Disclosure of your Social Security number (SSN) is requested for the Student Records system and for compliance with federal and state reporting requirements. Federal law requires that you provide your SSN if you’re applying for financial aid.
Additionally, to comply with the Tax Payer Relief Act of 1997, we must obtain your correct SSN to file returns with the IRS and to create a 1098T statement for you.
