Students enrolled in distance education courses at Saint Louis University have access to a variety of support resources and services.
Center for Accessibility and Disability Resources
Saint Louis University鈥檚 Center for Accessibility and Disability Resources supports your educational experience by helping you access academic accommodations and services. Students diagnosed with a disability including, but not limited to, a physical, mental health, neurodevelopmental, learning, or medical disability are eligible for academic accommodations and services.
Students with a documented disability who wish to request academic accommodations must formally register their disability with the University. Once successfully registered, students must notify their course instructor that they wish to use their approved accommodations in the course.
Visit the Center for Accessibility and Disability Resources for further information.

Learn About Sexual Assault Resources
If you speak with a faculty member about an incident that involves a Title IX matter, that faculty member must notify SLU's Title IX coordinator (or that person's equivalent on your campus) and share the basic facts of your experience. This is true even if you ask the faculty member not to disclose the incident.
Student Complaints
Students who have grievances with actions, decisions and/or processes at Saint Louis University are afforded formal means for registering those complaints and for their complaints to be deliberated and acted upon by governing University officials. Visit the Student Complaints website for details on specific types of complaints and related complaint policies and procedures.
