SLU-St. Louis provides SLU Net IDs at the time of successful student enrollment and at the time of faculty or staff employment.

Your SLU Net ID is your unique SLU username. If you are a student, your admissions counselor provides your SLU Net ID as part of your onboarding process. If you are staff or faculty, the Office fo the Registrar provides your SLU Net ID. If you are not sure what your SLU Net ID is, please contact ITS.

Your default SLU Net password is "Id" followed by the last six digits of your Banner ID. For example, if your Banner ID is 000123456, then your default password is Id123456.

Go to and follow the instructions to reset your SLU password.

You may store your files in the Z drive folder on any computer lab machine. Find the Z drive by opening File Explorer and navigating to Computer. This folder is limited to 200MB per user, per semester. If you need to store files that are larger than your disk quota, you may use Google Drive, which is included as part of your SLU Google email.

Read about SLU's Information Security policies and guidelines.

• Use double-sided print when possible and where the printer allows.
• If you need to print PowerPoint slides, consider printing four or six slides on a page, black and white only with no backgrounds. This will speed up the printing process and save your printing quota.
• Only print what you need. Try not to print draft copies of your documents for every minor revision.
• Check print preview to find out how many pages will be printed before sending your print job to the printer. Make sure to print only the pages you need.
• If your print job does not print, do not resend it without first checking the print queue from your computer. There may be many other jobs ahead of yours or the printer may have run out of paper. If you keep resending your document to the printer, multiple copies will be printed and deducted from your print quota. You may delete your own print jobs from the queue to prevent this from happening.
• If you cannot wait for your print job to finish, make sure you delete it from the print queue before you log off. This will prevent the job from being printed and deducted from your printing balance after you leave.
• When you leave a computer system, remember to log out. If you leave your account logged in, someone else may be able to use your print quota or misuse Information Technology facilities under your name.

You are assigned your entire printing quota at the beginning of the semester (500 pages in fall and spring, and 300 pages in summer). It's your responsibility to manage your printing needs for the whole semester.

If your print quota runs out, you may purchase blocks of 50 pages for 5 euros in the Finance Office.

To connect to the University's WiFi network, you must:

• Select the network "Saint_Louis_University".
• Input the password that is posted on signs throughout the University.
• Accept the terms and conditions listed in the window displayed upon successful connection to the WiFi network.

Upon accepting the terms and conditions, you will be redirected to slu.edu/madrid. You will then be able to navigate to any desired web page.

Be advised of these considerations:

• It's necessary to navigate to a random web page before using a program other than a web browser, such as an email client, or apps such as WhatsApp or Twitter.
• Most devices will automatically launch the hotspot window with the terms and conditions, however, some devices do not. If you're not redirected automatically, you need to open a browser and navigate to a random web page.
• All users are automatically disconnected from the network after two days.
• Due to the infrastructure setup, you may lose your connection when walking from one building to another, and your device may not reconnect automatically.
• If you have been disconnected, you must regain access by reconnecting your device and accepting the terms and conditions again.

Many web browsers save frequently visited pages so they load more quickly and save bandwidth. You need to remove your browsing history (cookies) before connecting.

Alternatively, you may try to visit a web page that you have not visited before.

You are connected to the network, but you have not gone to the log-in page and accepted the terms of service. Open a browser, try to navigate to a website, and the terms and conditions page should pop up.

Make sure that your device is not set to a nonstandard configuration (such as a fixed IP or custom network authentication settings).

Take note of what kind of device you are using and which applications you were using when you failed to connect, and email support-madrid@slu.edu or visit the IT Office during office hours.
