FAQs About 1818
If you're considering applying for the 1818 Advanced College Credit program but want to learn more, take a look at these frequently asked questions.
AP courses are run through CollegeBoard, and students are granted credit based on one comprehensive test at the end of the year. 1818 credit is awarded by the grade earned in the class over the course of a year or semester and are run through Saint Louis University.
Each college/university has its own unique policies regarding the acceptance of credit and its applicability to specific degree programs. These policies may change from year to year and may apply different from student to student. In most cases, colleges and universities will accept courses that align with courses at their institution and in which the student earns a grade of C or higher.
Students can transferability at various institutions using the following resources:
- Transferology.com: A free site that requires an account creation. It allows you to list all of your SLU 1818 courses and search through participating universities to see how the credits translate at the institution.
- Institution websites: To find out how specific courses transfer to that university, conduct a web search to locate their transfer policy page. Some recommended search prompts include: "[Institution name]'s transfer equivalency," "[Institution name]'s transfer credit policies," etc.
- Institution's admission office: Contact the institution's admission office directly to ask how dual-credit courses might transfer.
Exceptions are limited for those who miss the deadline to register. If you believe you are in a circumstance that prevented you from registering before the given deadline, please contact your high school coordinator immediately.
Tuition bills are mailed to your home and emailed to the parent and student. Bills are sent after the registration period ends; Fall bills are sent in October and spring bills are sent in February.
Students with unpaid balances on their account after our payment deadlines will have a registration hold and a transcript hold placed on their account. Registration holds prevent registration for future 1818 coursework and Saint Louis University classes. Transcript holds prevent the student from transferring any of their earned 1818 credits to their college or university of choice.
Registration and transcript holds are lifted once payment is received and processed by the Saint Louis University. There are no late fees for late payment.

No. Billing statements are e-mailed directly to the parent/guardian listed in the student application at the end of the registration period. Billing statements can only be generated after all steps in the student's application have been completed, with the final step being verification of the student's enrollment by their high school.
