Transcripts and Credentials During COVID-19
Due to the spread of COVID-19, we will only be accepting electronic application credentials, including official transcripts. We strongly encourage applicants to reach out to their previously attended institutions to determine if they are equipped to send official transcripts to us through an e-delivery service. If the institution has e-delivery capabilities, please follow their process for sending official transcripts to Saint Louis University Graduate Admission. We can also accept transcripts emailed directly to graduate@slu.edu from a prior institution's registrar office as official.
Out of care and concern for our students, we will accept unofficial transcripts to allow for your application to be reviewed for admission. Please send unofficial transcripts as an attachment to graduate@slu.edu. Please include your name and program applied to in the subject line of the email. Official transcripts will be required to finalize your admission, prior to the end of your first semester of enrollment.
Each department has different requirement standards. Prospective students should contact each school for specific information regarding test score requirements.
