Lindenwood University-Belleville offers several diverse housing options for students interested in living on campus. Students may choose to live in one of several houses owned and operated by the University that surround the campus. This residential type of living provides students with a familial atmosphere. Other students prefer the convenience of staying in the Lynx Lodge, a former hotel converted into a dormitory and located just one block from the Dixon Student Center. Each room includes phone service and wireless internet. A 27 unit apartment building owned by Lindenwood University-Belleville offers students a more independent and private yet secure living environment while still enjoying the University food service. Finally, the new all-female dormitory scheduled to be opened in the fall of 2013 will provide students with another housing option just across the street from the dining hall and classroom buildings.
The Lindenwood University-Belleville Library, located in the Alan J. Dixon Student Center, is a member of the MOBIUS consortium. MOBIUS provides students access to over 14 million book titles throughout the state of Missouri. If an item is not available through MOBIUS, patrons may use the Lindenwood University-St. Charles Butler Library Inter-Library Loan service. The library’s dedicated staff is available to help patrons navigate the wealth of traditional print and electronic resources that it offers. The library staff has developed a series of workshops, class presentations, and study guides to assist users.
In addition, the Lindenwood University-Belleville librarians are available during all library hours to assist patrons with whatever their research needs might be. Reference librarians may be contacted in person, by calling (618) 239-6072 or email.
The Lindenwood University-Belleville Academic Success Center (ASC) is located in the lower level of the Administration Building in M-110 and 111. The Writing and Tutoring Lab, located in the ASC, offers tutorial assistance to students. Writing consultants are prepared to help students with all stages of the writing process. Common issues the tutors address include starting the assignment, organization, sentence clarity, development, grammar, and usage. Tutors are available to help with all levels of mathematics. Inquiries for tutoring on other subjects are welcome and will be addressed on an individual basis.
Lindenwood-Belleville also offers online tutoring from Smarthinking which is available to any Lindenwood student. Online tutors are available to work with students as many as 24 hours a day, depending upon the subject area. Tutors are available in many subjects including writing, math, accounting, statistics, finance, economics, biology, anatomy & physiology, physics, chemistry, and Spanish. Completed drafts of writing assignments may also be submitted to Smarthinking’s Essay Center for detailed, personalized feedback typically within 24 hours. Students may access online tutoring through Blackboard and the student portal.
The Coordinator for Academic Student Services and Retention helps students navigate the university system, and mentors students toward academic success. Students who experience academic problems of any type are encouraged to visit the ASC, call (618) 239-6077, or email BVLWritingLab@lindenwood.edu for assistance.
