Participating in our optional winter session allows undergraduate students both online and on our physical campus to take courses required to complete their degree in a flexible way that fits into their schedule. 

The winter session will be offered entirely online.

The winter session is open to current undergraduate students in good academic standing at Saint Louis University, including Visiting Students and students enrolled in the School for Professional Studies. No incoming, first time freshmen or Madrid students are permitted to take classes through the winter session. A winter session course cannot be your first class at Saint Louis University. 

Traditional undergraduate students wanting to take a winter course in the School for Professional Studies (please see course listings above) must receive approval from their college or school. In conjunction with your academic adviser, submit the Petition to Enroll in SPS Course by non-SPS Student to begin the approval process. 

Please note: Tuition reduction for School for Professional Studies partnership students does not apply to the winter session.  

A staff member from the Summer-Winter Office at Saint Louis University will be available to answer questions during the winter session. Contact Jacob Wierson, summer-winter program coordinator at jacob.wierson@slu.edu for assistance.
