FAQs About 1818
If you're considering applying for the 1818 Advanced College Credit program but want to learn more, take a look at these frequently asked questions.
Registration
Please disregard the "pending" step in the system. As long as your student has enrolled in all the appropriate classes and completed their application, no further action is required at this time.
Yes, as long as the registration window is still open. Simply log back into your DualEnroll account, navigate to courses, and add the course to your list.
Log into your DualEnroll account and “abandon” the incorrect course. Then, be sure to add the correct course. This only works if the registration window is still open. If the course shows as complete please contact 1818@slu.edu.
Exceptions to the registration deadline are extremely limited. SLU 1818 prohibits retroactive registration as a matter of policy.
In rare circumstances, students may request an exception if the university prevented them from registering or if a verifiable error was made by the student's high school.
Requests will not be approved for reasons such as forgetting to register, missing emails or failing to complete required steps by the deadline. If you believe you qualify for one of these rare exceptions, contact your high school's 1818 coordinator immediately.
Requests submitted after the semester in which registration should have occurred has concluded may require review and approval through SLU's Academic Records Review Committee before any exception can be considered.
The program is designed for academically advanced high school students.
- Juniors and seniors: Students must have a minimum cumulative weighted GPA of 3.0.
- Sophomores: Students must have a minimum weighted GPA of 3.5 and be enrolled in an eligible sequenced course in computer science, mathematics, or world languages.
Review the 1818 registration page for additional eligibility details.
Parent Consent
After the high school coordinator updates the student's GPA the parent/guardians listed on the student's DualEnroll account will receive an email and/or text from noreply@dualenroll.com.
You will receive a notification each time your parent or guardian is sent an email to sign the consent form. Once the form is signed, you can see that the step is complete under Status in your DualEnroll account.
Contact the 1818 Program Office at 1818@slu.edu so we can confirm that the parent or guardian’s email address is correct and resend the consent email.

Each college or university has its own policies for accepting credit and applying it toward a degree. These policies may change from year to year and may apply differently to individual students. In most cases, institutions accept courses that align with their own offerings and in which the student earned a grade of C or higher.
Research transferability using these resources:
- Transferology: This free site requires an account. Enter your SLU 1818 courses to see how they may transfer to participating institutions.
- Institution websites: Search for the institution’s transfer equivalency or transfer credit policies to learn how specific courses may transfer.
- The institution’s admission office: Contact the office directly to ask how dual-credit courses may transfer.
Courses and Academics
Advanced Placement (AP): AP courses are administered by College Board. College credit is based on the score earned on the comprehensive AP exam at the end of the course and the receiving institution’s AP credit policy.
SLU 1818: Dual credit is awarded based on the grade earned throughout the semester or full-year course. The grade earned in the high school course is recorded on your official Saint Louis University transcript.
Consult your high school’s 1818 coordinator or college counselor to learn which courses may be most valuable to you.
We recommend you keep a copy of each course's syllabus. If you have misplaced yours, contact your high school teacher for another copy.
If your teacher cannot provide a copy, contact the SLU 1818 Program Office at 1818@slu.edu to request one.
1818 students have access to academic support resources available to full-time students, including academic advising, tutoring, disability accommodations, and writing support. Visit the 1818 Program Resources page to learn about available services and how to access them.
Student Records
SLU requests your Social Security number (SSN) to maintain student records and meet federal and state reporting requirements. This includes reporting tuition information to the IRS and preparing your Form 1098-T (Tuition Statement).
An SSN is also generally required when applying for federal financial aid.
Students who do not have an SSN can still register for 1818 courses. If you have an SSN but do not remember it when registering, you can add it later.

Drops and Withdrawals
Yes. Drop deadlines are listed on the 1818 Academic Calendar. Courses dropped before the deadline are removed from your official SLU transcript and incur no fees.
You can withdraw from a course through DualEnroll during the withdrawal period. A W will appear on your transcript, and you will not receive a refund. If you have not paid for the course, you are still responsible for paying the tuition.
SLU uses the terms drop and withdraw rather than cancel. The options depend on when you make the request:
- Before the drop deadline: You can drop the course without penalty.
- After the drop deadline and before the withdrawal deadline: You can withdraw and receive a W instead of a grade on your transcript. You are still responsible for any balance due.
- After the withdrawal deadline: The grade you earn in the course will appear on your official SLU transcript.
