As an extension of Saint Louis University, the 1818 Program has various policies and procedures governing student academics, student well-being, and program accreditation standards.
Coordinators are responsible for familiarizing themselves with these policies and working with the 1818 Program Office to ensure all requirements of program participation are met. This includes extenuating circumstances for students and instructor compliance.
