Request Additional Courses as a Returning 1818 Instructor

Additional course approval requests must be submitted and approved before the start of the academic semester in which the course will be offered.

University departmental liaisons, in consultation with appropriate department members and the 1818 Advanced College Credit program director, make the final determination regarding approval of adjunct instructors and new course approvals.

Review Process for All Applicants

After receiving all necessary application materials, the 1818 Advanced College Credit (ACC) Program will:

  1. Review the online submission materials and, if no changes are needed, forward it to the respective University dean. Instructors who do not meet criteria will be provided a formal denial letter and information regarding steps to become approved in the future.
  2. The dean of the affiliated college at SLU reviews the instructor's application. If found satisfactory, the instructors credentials are then forwarded to the designated faculty liaison in the instructor's academic discipline. Instructors who do not meet criteria will be provided a formal denial letter and information regarding steps to become approved in the future.
  3. After credentialing review by both the dean and affiliated faculty liaison, the liaison will notify the 1818 Advanced College Credit Program, and the instructor will be provided with onboarding and syllabus development materials. The instructor will work with their liaison to construct a syllabus.
  4. Once syllabus submission and review are complete, the 1818 Program will issue an approval letter from the 1818 Program; that approval letter will include a complete listing of faculty credentials conferring eligibility and the courses the instructor is approved to teach. Approval to teach is renewed on an annual basis.

Annual Instructor Requirements  

Each year, instructors must:

  1. Submit their course syllabus for the upcoming academic year. Information on how to do this is provided by 1818 liaisons annually.
  2. Ensure last academic year grades have been entered into Banner Self-Service.
