University Policies

Campus Tobacco Use

The use of both smoking and smokeless tobacco is prohibited in all buildings on campus including classrooms, laboratories, hallways, offices, restrooms, residence halls and lounges. Smoking areas outside of buildings are marked. No smoking is allowed in front of entry doors to buildings unless otherwise indicated by signage.

Firearms Policy

No person is permitted to carry firearms or other weapons, either concealed or visible, on Lindenwood property or to any Lindenwood class. The exception to this policy applies only to duly sworn, on-duty law enforcement officers. Off-duty police officers may carry concealed weapons to their Lindenwood classes only if authorized to do so by their employer and the state of Missouri or Illinois.

Abuse of Student Portals

Any student who gains unauthorized entrance to another student’s portal, makes changes to another student’s schedule via the student portal, or otherwise tampers with or compromises private or privileged communications will be expelled from Lindenwood University. Additionally, such actions will be brought to the attention of law enforcement officials and may be prosecuted through the legal system.

Policy on Recording Classroom Activity

During classroom instruction, the use of cameras, video, audio taping devices, or any other kinds of recording devices (including telephones) is allowed only after obtaining written permission from the instructor; otherwise, the use of such devices is prohibited. Such recordings may not be redistributed to anyone not a member of the class without the express written permission of the instructor and all student subjects of the recording.
