Admitted Students Next Steps

Deposit Online

1. Log in to your Billiken Gateway portal and complete your admission offer form.
2. Submit your $500 enrollment deposit online. 

This deposit (known as a "confirmation fee" at SLU-Madrid) secures your place in the freshman class and should be submitted once you've decided to attend SLU. If you change your mind, you'll forfeit the deposit. 

The mySLU portal is your comprehensive online resource. As a new Billiken, you'll use it to enroll in courses, apply for housing, check your SLU email, view billing information and more. 

1. Find your SLU Net ID, which is located in your Billiken Gateway portal under "My Application Info" on the right side of your screen. 
2. Activate your SLU Net ID and password by following these step-by-step instructions. 1818 students: If you've previously logged in to mySLU or paid for classes, use the same password.
