At Saint Louis University, we have a range of offices on campus to help you achieve your academic and professional goals, whether it's selecting a major, meeting with a tutor or success coach, preparing for final exams, or finding your first job post-graduation.
SLU provides students with both an academic advisor and a faculty mentor. Guided study groups are available in some residence halls through our learning communities, or you can form your own with the help of SLU's residence hall staff.

Academic Support Services
You’ll meet with your advisor and your faculty mentor regularly. Your primary advising office is determined by your major and the college where that major is housed. Some majors and programs — such as honors or pre-professional tracks — have a secondary advisor to help you meet those academic goals.
The Billiken Success Program is a collaborative and intensive program of support. For select new freshmen, full acceptance to Saint Louis University is contingent upon successful completion of the requirements of BSP, which kicks off with a pre-semester academic summer program and continues throughout the freshman year.
Billikens' First Chapter is designed for students who may need additional support in the transition to college and matches students with a professional staff member who provides one-on-one, holistic support. Students are selected to participate based on information provided during the admission process.
If you require academic accommodations on an ongoing or temporary basis, SLU’s Center for Accessibility and Disability Resources can help coordinate auxiliary aids and services. Inquiries about reasonable university-related accommodations are kept confidential.
The Students' Opportunity for Achievement and Resources (SOAR) Program works with first-generation college students, those who have received a Pell grant, or students who have some disability throughout their time at Saint Louis University to provide resources and services these students need on their path to college graduation and whatever lies beyond.
Whether you are brainstorming your first paper in a SLU class or finishing your dissertation, University Writing Services offers individualized feedback at any stage of the writing process for papers, presentations, and multimedia projects. Writing consultations are offered in-person, on Zoom, and asynchronously.
International and ESL Students
SLU’s English Language Center works with international students and non-native speakers, undergraduate or graduate. The English Through Service program provides you with an extra opportunity to expand your language skills while volunteering in the St. Louis community.
Adult Learners
SLU’s Student Success Center offers tutoring specifically for several classes taught at the School for Professional Studies, including the subjects of math, chemistry and data analysis.
