Academic support and online student services
We provide essential resources to help students succeed in both online and campus-based
learning environments. These services include technology and academic support for
distance learners, personalized academic support coaching, and skill-building engagements
focused on study strategies, time management, and test preparation. Students have
access to virtual, telephone, and text support, ensuring they receive guidance on
navigating Canvas, utilizing digital tools, and staying engaged in their coursework.
Support services for students with disabilities are available
through campus Access offices. These services include:

any access office). Applications are accepted at any time during the semester, but
the College recommends submitting requests as early as possible to allow time to make
necessary arrangements prior to
the start of classes. Accommodations are generally not provided retroactively, so
it is important for you to begin the process as soon as you can.

The primary purpose of the campus police department is to create a secure and safe
environment for the College community through the protection of persons and property,
and the preservation of peace and order on the campus. Campus police are able to assist
you with your vehicle-related issues such as lockouts and jump-starts, as well as
provide safety escorts to your vehicle upon request. There is an emergency network
of both external and internal phones on all campuses to provide instantaneous, 24-hour
availability for communication with department personnel. Campus police have immediate
access to local police agencies to either report a crime or request assistance. In
addition to use of the phone systems, you can also contact campus police in person
or in writing. Regardless of how an incident is reported, campus police will conduct
an investigation. Visit stlcc.edu/need2know for a copy of the College Crime Report (Clery Act Report). Current STLCC campus policies

Clinical and field work
Some degree and certificate programs offered by the college require students to obtain
clinical or other field experience as part of their coursework. Students with criminal
convictions or illegal drug use may be ineligible to progress or have difficulty progressing
in these programs. Healthcare facilities, educational facilities, and other field
experience settings may mandate that a criminal background check and/or drug screening
check (at the student’s expense) be conducted prior to placement in a clinical or
field setting. Students not passing these checks may be prohibited from participating
in the clinical or field experience, thus rendering the student ineligible to satisfactorily
meet the course/program requirements. Students should contact the program’s handbook
and/or program representative for further details. Contact a student success advisor
or the program chair/coordinator for more information.
