January Graduates Reception

Come celebrate your accomplishments with friends and family on Thursday, December 20 at 5pm at the College Church. To prepare, please let Dianne Morris know no later than Dec. 3 if you will be able to attend, and how many guests will be joining you. More details on the format will be e-mailed to all mid-year graduates shortly. Dianne Morris can be contacted at (314) 977-2789 or by email morrisd@slu.edu.

Diploma Holds And Bar Certifications

The University Bursar's Office will place a hold on an academic record for students who owe tuition, fees, library fines, parking fines or health services fees. All debts must be paid one week prior to graduation at the very latest. This hold will prevent the University from releasing a diploma or final transcript.

Send or deliver bar certification forms to Monica Kimbrell in the Office of Student Services. Students sitting for the Missouri Bar must complete a transcript request form. Students needing certification for other state bars should leave the proper certification form with Felisha McCaster or request in writing that a certification letter is sent on their behalf. Please remember that the Registrar cannot request transcripts on your behalf without signed authorization.

Please contact Felisha McCaster at (314) 977-2769 or by email at mccaster@slu.edu or Dianne Morris (314) 977-2789 or by email morrisd@slu.edu if you have any questions regarding the School of Law Pre-Commencement Reception. The reception will be held on Thursday, Dec. 20, 2007 and you must R.S.V.P. to Dianne Morris no later than Dec. 3, 2007.

Classification Status

Your classification status impacts your registration. Students should check classifications in Banner now. Students with questions should contact Felisha McCaster in the Registrar’s Office immediately. Classifications will not be changed once registration activities start.

A full-time student (L1, L2, L3) is a student registered for at least 12 hours and no more than 17 hours. A part-time student (P1, P2, P3, P4) is a student registered for 11 hours or less. A dual degree student will always be considered full-time.

Students visiting Saint Louis University School of Law, including Exchange Students, will register according to their classification.

J.D./M.B.A. Dual Degree students are required to pay Graduate School tuition directly to the Business School for one year. During that year, you will not have a law school classification in Banner. You, therefore, must contact the law school Registrar prior to returning to the law school so your Banner classification can be changed back to law for registration purposes.

Bar and or employment purposes may now request this service through the
