ITS manages account access and academic tools that support students during their time at Saint Louis University.
We provide assistance with password resets, accessing your SLU account, setting up email on a personal device and general help navigating SLU's systems. We also help students navigate tools such as the mySLU portal, Banner Self-Service and Tegrity.
General Accounts FAQ
Your SLU Net ID is the first part of your SLU email address before @slu.edu. Your default password is provided by Admission or Enrollment.
Visit auth.slu.edu and sign in with your default password. Make sure you create a unique password to help prevent someone from breaking into your account. Here are a few tips for creating your password and keeping it safe:
- Never tell anyone your password.
- Your password should be easy for you to remember without being easy for someone else to guess.
- Never write down your password.
- Change your password periodically.
- Don't choose a dictionary word as your password. Be creative.
- Include special characters such as punctuation marks, as well as a mix of capital and lowercase letters and numbers. A variety of characters makes it harder to guess a password.
If your password isn't working, contact the ITS Help Desk at 314-977-4000, ask@slu.edu or ask.slu.edu.
Visit outlook.office.com or access your email through the Tools tab in myslu.slu.edu.
Your email username is the first part of your SLU email address before the @slu.edu and your SLU Net password.

Canvas
Saint Louis University uses Canvas for its learning management system. This application supports faculty and student customers on both the St. Louis and Madrid campuses and provides access to many tools that support SLU's educational mission.
The following tutorials on specific topics are available to help you get more out of your Canvas experience.
Panopto
Panopto is lecture capture software that records content shown on a computer screen, such as a PowerPoint presentation, along with the instructor's audio. Panopto captures, stores and indexes this content online for students to watch at their convenience.
Instructors can also allow students to create their own Panopto recordings for a course that can be visible to the whole class or just the instructor.
- If you are recording in a Panopto-enabled classroom, the classroom computer and the microphone have already been set up.
- If you wish to create a recording on your own computer, you will first need to install the Panopto recorder. Downloads are available at Panopto, and clicking "Download Panopto" on the top right.
- Your computer will also need a microphone connected in order for Panopto to capture your audio. Any standard headset works great, or you can also use a wireless lavalier microphone or even a room microphone.
