What's the Scoop at SLU?

Between all of the paperwork and processes and the sometimes confusing array of SLU acronyms, there's much to learn about Saint Louis University.

Our What's the Scoop at SLU? Facebook Live webinars are designed to give families opportunities to learn more about how the various campus departments and offices are working to support their students. You'll also have a chance to meet the faces behind the names and ask any lingering questions.
