SLU ID Frequently Asked Questions
You will only be issued one SLU ID, no matter how many ways you are tied to Saint Louis University. Your primary relationship with the University determines the type of card you get. For example, full-time staff who take classes at SLU are issued staff cards. Full-time students who work part-time at SLU are issued a student ID.
There is no charge for the first SLU ID we issue you. Active cards that need to be replaced due to theft or natural wear and tear are free, but you must have a police report number or turn in the worn card. Natural wear and tear results from swiping cards through card readers and does not include punching holes, scratches, breaks or cuts. The fee for replacing an ID card is $25.
